Highly recommend KimKim!
The team of Imane & Said were very helpful in choosing and planning the trip. They were great to accommodate our requests for Riads vs hotels etc. Overall they did a fantastic job.
Our driver/guide Mayssar was superb; he is knowledgeable, warm, friendly and very accommodating. We might have started with a driver but left with a friend. The trip would not have been good without him!
The accommodations were very good - we wanted to experience the Riads and they were very comfortable.
The highlight of our trip was the Sahara desert. The camel ride, jeep ride and the food! The owner/manager Hummou of the camp was superb in taking care of us; I would highly recommend this camp after talking to travelers in other camps. The food was excellent.
The Riad in Dades Gorges was good, and the manager was fantastic. The best food on the trip was at this Riad.
The second best part of the trip was the cooking class. It was done very elegantly.
Our guide in Marrakesh Abde Latif was the best guide we had - His English, knowledge and sharing was very good. Overall the guides were good, and informative.
We enjoyed the family dinners. It would have been nice if the guide stayed with us to translate when we met the Berber family as no-one there spoke english. But we still enjoyed visiting with the family. They were warm and wonderful.
Palais Zahia was just what we had expected a Riad to be; Great workmanship.
The La Kasbah d'Ourika also had some superb craftsmanship and was renovated very nicely.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Of course one or two things didn't work out as expected; but the KimKim team was immediately responsive and did their best to straighten it out. Thanks.
Hotel Reviews
Loved the architecture and craftsmanship. The courtyard with music was maybe the best place in town for dinner. The reception clerk was a bit sour; but didn't matter much. Dinner and service were very good.
good location and amenities. Room was a bit noisy , Breakfast was excellent
bathroom had a smell, too many steps ,
great vibe , loved the size of the room and the decor, Excellent food
Mohammed and his staff were the best and made up for a oK room
place with history and the owner described the renovation using local artisans place was very nicely done
Activity Reviews
ABDELLATIF was fantastic -even though we had been in country for 14 days-he still found lots of new foods for us to try
Volubilis was good , the other stops were not as interesting
liked the ceramics and tannery stops as well as the other artisans Guide Mustafa seemed a bit rushed and walked ahead -not as chatty
skip Ifrane
Mohd was a good guide for the hikes , but did not stay for the meal , would have been good for him to stay so we could converse with the family
HIGHLIGHT of the trip
Guide was not chatty or share much info
Yaseen and family were fun to meet
BEST guide Abdellatif
Secret garden was nice but nothing spectacular Menara was not worth the trip
SKIP
