First the positives:
I loved using the KimKim travel planning chat and being able to include all travelers to ask questions and make changes. The itinerary and hotel options provided were wonderful and even when we didn't get our initial hotel requested, we had excellent 2nd choices. Ali and Said did an excellent job setting up the trip.
Our driver Maysaar was definitely a highlight of the trip for us. He was very friendly, super talkative when we asked him questions, but also quiet on long drives when we wanted to read a book or stare out the window. He was always available when we needed him for local rides to restaurants, and was really the main reason our trip went so smoothly. We considered him a friend by the end of the trip. I would highly recommend him to any of my travel friends.
The negatives:
The only negative experience we had was surrounding the few days to and from the Sahara (Merzouga, Erg Chebbi). We knew driving there would be a very long day, and it was. We expected 7-8 hours with stops, but it ended up being 10 hours. The drive from Merzouga to Ait Benhaddou was a bit worse. We expected a 6 hour drive, and it was also 10 hours (a 4 hour difference was quite large and more than expected). As a result, we weren't able to enjoy much of the hotel or area in Ait Benhaddou.
Overall, an excellent trip to Morocco and I would recommend it to others as well as recommending KimKim. I am planning to contact KimKim again for an upcoming trip.

Hi Doug,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such feedback, it truly means a lot to us.

We’re really happy to hear that the planning process through KimKim felt smooth and flexible for your group, and that the itinerary and hotel selections worked well overall. Even when your first choices weren’t available, it’s great to know the alternatives still felt like strong options. I’ll also make sure our team see your kind words, they’ll really appreciate the recognition.

Regarding the Sahara and Ait Benhaddou drives, I really appreciate you sharing this honestly. Those routes can sometimes vary quite a bit depending on road conditions, traffic, and stops along the way, which can extend travel times beyond what’s initially estimated. I completely understand how that would impact your time in Ait Benhaddou, and I’m sorry that it reduced your opportunity to enjoy the area more fully. Feedback like this is very valuable for us, and we’ll definitely review how we communicate expectations around those long driving days to make them clearer going forward.

Overall, we’re glad you still had an excellent experience in Morocco, and it means a lot that you would recommend both the trip and KimKim.

Best wishes,
Ali
