We just returned from a wonderful adventure with the family in Morocco. Our trip, planned through KimKim was well organized to cater to the varying ages of our group. Our driver throughout the trip, Tariq, went out of his way to make sure that we got where we needed to, and was always smiling. We greatly appreciated having him with us, and his willingness to adjust our plans as needed throughout our stay. We highly recommend Tariq as a driver!

Our guides in the old cities of Essouaira (Hassan), Marrakesh (Hanan), and Fez (Mohammed H) made history come alive for our group and we were delighted by their knowledge and attention.

We are particularly thankful to Mostafa and Yusuf, that hosted us in Merzouga (Tiziri Camp). The atmosphere was most welcoming during our delicious meals, the Berber (Amazigh) campfire music was an incredible experience, and the tours through the desert to see nomadic living up-close was something we will never forget.

Our self-guided time in Chefchaouen was memorable and definitely worth the long drive to get there.

Also worthy of mention are the beautiful accommodations that were arranged for us. The Riads and Dars were clean and beautiful, and the Camp in Merzouga made sleeping in the desert worry free.

A great experience overall!

Hotel Reviews
Riad Chbanate
Essaouira

Our family of 6 stayed in two rooms at the gorgeous Riad Chbanate. Which was better…the warm and friendly staff, the tasty and beautiful breakfast or the beautiful architecture? We’re still discussing this!

Palais Sebban
Marrakech

The photos of the lovely Palais Sebban are accurate. It is truly THAT beautiful. Breakfast near the pool each morning was scrumptious, and the two rooms used by our multigenerational family of six were independently interesting and intriguing. We loved all the hidden corners and winding stairs. Breakfast staff members were so very friendly and great with our 8-year-old and 13-year-old kids.

Riad Ksar Ighnda
Ait Benhaddou

Riad Ksar Ighnda is jaw-droppingly beautiful. Be sure to visit its ancient mosque and go up to the roof for sunset. Our one night stay was not enough.

Tiziri Luxury Camp
Merzouga

Our experience at the Tiziri Luxury Camp in the Sahara desert was extraordinary from the time we were greeted and transferred to our camel ride until we were treated to an exhilarating surprise 4X4 ride back to our driver. The food at the desert camp was absolutely wonderful. We especially enjoyed the camel guide and the Berber driver-guide at the desert camp.
