To say that I fell in love with Morocco would be an understatement; and I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Hakim for making that possible and for having created an amazingly unforgettable experience for my family!

From the onset of planning, it was clear that he was dedicated to meeting and satisfying all of our expectations, and he continuously exceeded them. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about both the potential and the limitations of such a trip, but he seemed to have a natural intuition in understanding our vision of what we hoped to experience. As such, his meticulous planning resulted in a finely executed series of events that compounded into a beautiful memory. Not to mention, he went above and beyond in creating an itinerary that was both exciting and intriguing for the adults, and yet still manageable enough for the patience and span of attention of a 4 year old child. To balance the needs of all is no easy task, But Hakim seemed to do so seamlessly.

I would also like to commend him for his very personal service to us. At one point during the tour, my mom had left a credit card behind at a hotel hours and hours away, and Hakim was able to personally return the card to us in another city. We were grateful for his effort to safeguard our property, and continue to be entirely impressed by this gesture.

Hakim could not have planned a more perfect trip for our family, and in doing so has most certainly guaranteed that we will be back— and that we will highly recommend both Hakim and KimKim to anyone seeking excellent service for in their travel planning to Morocco.

I would be remiss if I did not extend a special shout-out to our dependable driver, Mohamed, who was a dream come true from the moment we met. After flight delays, cancellations, lost luggage and an exhausting trip across the Atlantic, he greeted us with a warm & welcoming smile, genuine kindness, and a calming energy, which gave us the reassurance that we were in very good hands. Throughout the entire tour he was endlessly patient— providing us with knowledge, insight and humor. He brought so much joy to my family (my 4 year old daughter, especially) during our long hours on the road. What a gift it was to have had him as our driver for the duration of the trip! We felt extremely lucky to have him, and are very honored to now call him a friend.

Suffice it to say, not only do these men deserve special recognition for their outstanding service, but they ought to be compensated and rewarded— accordingly and generously. We could not have been happier!

The KimKim team is so fortunate to have these immensely valuable partners in its organization, and we wish them continues success!

Clearly, the majority of the accolades belong to Hakim and Mohamed; however, we were equally pleased with many special guides we met along the way: Yusef, Hafeed & Sharif, in particular. Bravo to these gentleman who provided us with brief, but excellent, service, as well!

Dear Raini, I would write hundreds, thousands, and probably millions of words and I may not be succeeding in expressing how it was a truly great pleasure and an honor not only to work with you but actually, to know you and meet you in person even if it was just for a couple of minutes on your last day in Casablanca.

Dear Raini,

I would write hundreds, thousands, and probably millions of words and I may not be succeeding in expressing how it was a truly great pleasure and an honor not only to work with you but actually, to know you and meet you in person even if it was just for a couple of minutes on your last day in Casablanca.

I would love to deeply thank you for choosing Kimkim and for allowing me to be the one to arrange your family travel experience in my beautiful country. I’m so grateful that you all enjoyed your trip even after missing the first 2 days due to the heavy storm. The great part of the experience is that you made it, you came and you loved the country!

From the very beginning, you and your mom, without forgetting Riva the little beautiful angel, were all very comprehensive and amazing people to speak with. My work wouldn’t be “great” without your flexibility, your comprehension, and your unconditional kindness!

I personally wish I had a longer duration to spend with you and your family, and for sure with the excellent gentleman, Mohamed. I’m definitely sure you’re already considering a future travel experience and I can’t really wait to offer you another beautiful and magnificent experience in the future. Next time will be with Mohamed, and probably I’ll be part of your trip as well, touring the country with you and your wonderful family.

For the local guides, I am glad that they were all at your expectation and that they succeeded to share valuable information regarding their cities. All of them will be more than happy to read your motivating and outstanding review, dear Raini!

This is not the end. This is just the beginning! Everyone in Kimkim is truly happy that you selected us for your trip experience. I hope to work again with you in the near future and look forward to meeting you all and enjoy all together another unforgettable experience!

Thank you so much for all the beautiful words, dear Raini!

Best,
Hakim
