Family with 3 kids pleased with itinerary and excellent driver
Morocco

Dec 26 - Jan 4, 2026
For context, we have three school-age children: 14, 12 and 7. They are all experienced travellers and good walkers and put up with several multi-hour walking tours of cities and a multi-hour hike through the Monkey Fingers gorges. We did a small amount of crafts shopping, taking tours of leather, carpets, and skincare in Fes but spent more of our time on cultural tours of cities and sites plus some outdoors time in the gorges and desert.
Our driver, Said, was outstanding. He was positive and personable and a consistently good companion over the 9 days, making pleasant conversation or leaving us in silence as our mood warranted. He offered excellent recommendations for meals and a few sites for good views, but would enact whatever plan we wished. At every stop, from cafes to museums, he smoothed our way with his impressive linguistic skills (English, French, Arabic, Berber) and local knowledge. While we are experienced travellers, speak excellent French, and have always been on our own to date, we were grateful for his presence bridging the cultural distance and ensuring we made the most of situations and avoided mistakes.
Yassine was extremely helpful in booking the trip. We sent multiple emails back and forth refining our itinerary based on his recommendations and responses to our preferences. As we reflected on the trip during the flight home, we were pleased with the result. The accommodations ranged from good to amazing and the activities seem to have encompassed everything we wanted to do given our time constraints. No regrets ex-post.
Overall, we found the price quite reasonable given the level of service and accommodations. Restaurants were a little more expensive than we had expected. We all found the cuisine healthy and tasty, though by the end it became repetitive. One must also add the cost of frequent tipping. But these were small variations on top of the price through KimKim, which included hotels, driver, and multiple tours and which we felt was good value.
We were pleased and would recommend KimKim to others looking to travel to Morocco.
Hotel Review
WOW! This is the most unbelievably beautiful hotel in which I have ever stayed. A work of art. My whole family was sorry we only had one night there and kept joking that we should skip the rest of our trip and just remain at the Eden.
