Everything went as planned, from the airport pickup to the departure after 8 days. The Riads were quite good, the breakfast excellent and above all the assistance and coordination by our driver Mohammed, was awesome. We did have a little issue with the hotel at Casablanca, on the last night, with the aircon not cooling, but it was too late for us to involve Hakim to intervene. The guides were quite adequate and of course, the weather and roads cooperated! Great trip, something to remember.

Good rooms, and a decent breakfast, was quite crowded due to some conference, and our room AC did not work.

Long long drive, with nothing much done at Meknes due to all the refurbishment going on. Volubilis was good though, and the drive was uneventful. Fes of course was excellent

Dear Ullattil,

Thank you so much for your precious and valuable feedback!

I'm so delighted to hear that your trip was completely worth it and that your time was full of great memories in Morocco. I want you to know that it has been a great pleasure working with you and assisting you in enjoying this lifetime experience. I wish you had a longer stay to discover more locations but I'm totally confident a future trip will be considered to my beautiful country.

Regarding your driver, Mohamed is definitely one of a kind. A very professional and 1 of the best drivers we usually provide for our travelers' trips. For the A/C at your accommodation in Casablanca, we've already contacted the property and asked such an incident shouldn't repeat in the future. For the other hotels/Riads, I'm very happy that everything went as planned and that you had a great stay in each of the selected accommodations.

Again, thank you so much for your trust and for choosing us. Kimkim is now your home. We all hope to work again with you in the near future!

Best,
Hakim
