Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

We had a wonderful experience on our trip to Morocco. Mohammed and Said planned our trip to include all our Neds which went over without a hitch. Our guide / driver for the entire 8 days Younees was fabulous, courteous, respectful and drove us around safely providing us some historical details on our various routes.

We enjoyed Chefchaouen -Blue City- small, charming and walkable ; Marzhouga desert camp was very memorable along with camel riding and overnight camp. Food - dinner and breakfast here were exceptional although weather at night was very cold . Ahmed the camp owner provided warm water bottles with electric blankets which helped. The drive through Dades valley was unbelievable through the mountains with great views of areas where some famous movies were shot. Stay at dar Rihanna was great again with exceptional food and service .

My review
Overall trip was well organized.
Tangier- Airport pick up was prompt and easy. When we arrived at the hotel, rooms were not ready. We were taken to a local restaurant by walk after a long flight where they were not ready to accommodate 20+ guests all vegetarians. Food was not sufficient for everyone. We were super tired after long flights, not having time to unwind before trip to Asilah. Hotel was suboptimal. Floor tiles swollen with wetness, door frame chipping due to moisture.Overall rooms were bad.
Asilah was simply breathtaking. We enjoyed the time - beautiful sunsets, wonderful guide,

Gibralter- Our own trip- Fantastic- Loved it
Chefchauoen- Awesome place, great guide.Puerta AZul- Would definitely recommend for future guests. Food simple but great. Great service by Hotel managers. We felt at home. Would love to go back again to that Hotel
Guide - extremely engaging and knowledgeable. Was wonderful
Sahara camp- Need lot of improvement in planning. We were not infomed clearly about the plans in Sahara- We were taken to the desert, was asked to take only toilteries for the night only to realise that we needed clothing etc to stay that night. All suitcases had to be hauled out from vns, to put it on dirty grounds, open suitcases in front of all guests to take out additional clothes.This was done in very haphazard , hurried manner, many didnt take the essentials for the night and ATV tour. It was freezing at night, Our camp assignment was a total disaster- We were given basic room with no heating, bare bedding. Other guests got luxury room assignment.Uday family and my family were drive to another campsite for these basic rooms. We could not stay in that camp due to frigid cold weather and lack of heating and hot water. We talked to Ibrahim only to hear that nothing could be done that night. He stated that rooms were overbooked.This was totally unacceptable. We expected Megan to ensure that all room assignments were made according to our request and payments. We ended up in argument with camp manager at 11.30 pm and he called another camp to find rooms for us with heating. We were driven around midnight to another camp.With this confusion, we left behind our gloves and jackets in the camp room
We were all very tired after long trip only to face this additional difficulty at night. It was an ordeal for my family. Uday family did not get any upgrades. This should never have happened

Next morning- ATV trip- Ibrahim did not warn us about the cold weather so many failed to pack jackets, gloves, hats previous day when he suddenyly asked us to open suitcases in the middle of the road to pack for the night. ATV tour was difficult for some as they did not have proper gear for the weather. People who did not go for the tour were said that they will be taken to the hotel where our suitcases were there . Some assumed that they could take a shower and rest for sometime while waiting for atv return.We realized that hotel is only for breakfast , not for showering etc. Some guests were upset that they were not given proper information

Despite all these difficulties, camel tour was amazing.
Food at the camp for great
I didnt got for atv tour. We were thinking he could have arranged to go around the place for sightseeing instead of sitting at the breakfast area.
Fes- Was amazing. Tour guide was superb.We truly understood the history of medina. We visited the tanneries and ceramic place. We felt all items were marked up for us as we found same items at much cheaper place outside of these factories. We felt bit cheated. I dont know if guides can warn us or make some negotiations with the factory staff to be more reasonable with the prices.I truly felt that we needed more time for shopping in Fes . Medina
Mariott - Great place, good food. felt at home

Oza and gorge- Great place, but was there only for 15 min. Not enough to absorb the beauty of the place. Ibis- Not great at all .Too small rooms , no space to walk around with our suitcases. Studio city- wonderful, was exciting. worth seeing

Marakeesh-Hotel was good- food disaster- esp new year eve party food was disaster- No veg options. Many did not eat at night. Marakeesh guide- not good- Didn't spend time explaining any hist.Just walked us to the places and left us there, asking us to meet him when we are done.Same with the market- Just made us walk through the lanes so fast and never gave time to shop or gain any information about the marker.He took us to a perfume place and left us there for demo and shopping. We realized that all prices were extremely high- small amber bar costed us $8 only to get the same for 2$ outside that shop. Many guests were unhappy with this guide. We didn't have enough time to shop in the market. We felt hurried through out the trip

Casablanca was very good.Hotel was good. Rick cafe food- messed up.They served us non veg food despite our request for veg food while planning this trip. Some people ate without knowing and they felt disgusted after the food. They had very strict religious beliefs and they felt that they violated their faith.This was not acceptable.

I am writing honest feedback only for your team to take away areas that need improvement. Places were stunning, Ibrahim was awesome, vans were ok, had wifi in one van, other didn't have, so it was a problem for kids.

My important suggestion- Prepare the guests for next day by either giving a summary of next day activities with times, or print out a schedule for each family. This will help guests understand and prepare for the day- be it long bus rides, lunch at some place where veg food may not be available, dress for appropriate weather etc. We only knew what time we had to be out in the lobby for bus. Rest of the day was like " as we go".That was hard because we did n't know what we will be doing.

Would I do this trip again with your team
Absolutely

But Would like to see some improvement in communication, hotel services, food and better insider information about shopping etc

Many thanks to Mohammed and Said at kimkim for their assistance with our trip to Morocco! We had an amazing, stress free experience working with them. Communication via text or email was easy with a near immediate response to any question or request. Our driver, Ilyace was outstanding from the second we met him, greeting us each by name without an introduction and then treating us to an incredibly fun and completely safe journey through his beautiful country. I would definitely work with these guys again and highly recommend them to anyone who is planning to visit Morocco.

Fantastic trip.
The guide in Chef chaouen une was a bit « insistant » to bring us to his friend the carpet salesman and we felt pretty sure he was getting a return on the sales!
Otherwise, our driver Tarik was very nice and helpful!

We're fairly experienced travelers but didn't feel entirely confident planning a family trip to Morocco ourselves, so we found kimkim online and and hired them. The reviews were great but it still felt like a bit of a risk since we didn't know anyone who'd used them. What a great decision it turned out to be!

Our week-long trip was perfect -- from the beautiful drives to the historic hotels (riads) to the guides in the cities. From the first phone call, all the way through, the team at kimkim couldn't have been more responsive, patient, and helpful. Ali booked everything for us, checking in frequently to make sure it all looked good, making small changes as needed, offering good advice, etc. We explored much of the country, from Chefchaouen (blue city) through Fez, Merzouga (glamping in the desert, camel rides, etc), and Skoura, to Marrakesh. Every riad was more amazing than the last - we couldn't have imagined better places to stay. Our tour guides in the cities were fantastic (fluent English speakers), our driver Hassan was wonderful (always knew where he was going, always on time). The whole adventure just couldn't have gone more smoothly or been more interesting and fun. Morocco is a gorgeous, fascinating country with wonderful people. We're so grateful to kimkim for planning an absolutely perfect trip for us and highly recommend them!

The person who made the biggest difference in our trip was Abdr Fateh Makhlouf!
A compassionate, forward thinking and our friendly driver Maukhlouf, who by the end of the 11 days trip became like family member.
He was punctual; he incentivized us to start earlier but worked with us on days we didn’t get out at 8 am; he was “magical” in planning the road stops. Not even once did we feel, like it was taking too long to get to the next destination! He planned very timely stops for tea or bathroom breaks for the family.
He paid attention and kept the inside of the vehicle very clean and comfortable.
Thank you Fateh Mouflouf!

PS: Our local guides arranged by Loius and Yassine were all great!

BEFORE THE TRIP

A 5-star rating travel plan with Wowww when you first received from Mr. Ali that how much work & effort he had put in to share with me in such a short period of time. Well done Mr. Ali!

DURING THE TRIP
My trip goes well throughout my 9 Days road trip.
I was first pick up by Mr. Mohamed on 23 Dec (Friday) @ Casablanca Airport. He was on time and holding the label with my name. Not to blame him, the label with Original Travel is a bit too small on the paper but was OK and manage to meet up with him. :D
Mr. Mohamed was an awesome driver+guide. He has been very helpful and very caring throughout the journey. We have lots of laughter like a friend instead of client throughout our lengthy 2000km+ road journey.

I've total 8 nights in Morocco.
The riad the recommended by Mr.Ali @ Fes was gorgeous, the moment you walked into the riad, seems like walking inside one of the palace.

So far, the most enjoyable stay was in Merzouga in the middle of nowhere of Erg Chebbi Sahara desert where I stayed in the luxury camp of Tiziri Camp. The merely 2Hrs camel ride journey can be boring to many but to me it's simply awesome accompany with a great camel driver Mr. Hamid during the sunset. I would like to mention a great staff there in Tiziri Camp and wish I would return someday to stay there for more day. Thank you Mr. Ahmed, Mr. Hassan (The Chef), Mr.Mohamad and Mr. Mustafa for taking care well on me during my stay in Tiziri Camp.

I need to be frank that my stay in Marrakech didn't go well as per plan.
NOT to blame Original Travel for their planning but instead "The Management Team" from the Riad Passali itself.

The management in Riad Passali is very unreasonable. I supposed to stay there for 2 nights consecutively from 29 - 31 Dec 2022. But then, imagine on the 2nd day 30 Dec early morning after having my breakfast. I supposed she is the riad manager (Incharge Person) asked me to leave and given the reason that Riad Passali is overbooked. As Riad Passali has another group from Germany already booked the room that I'm staying. This is kind of discriminating. I was asked to move out from Riad Passali then move to the other way way way smaller riad few roads down away from Riad Passali namely Riad El Walida. To be frank, I'm flexible in any kind of accommodation. But my in opinion, the management in Riad Passali is very unprofessional.

Riad Passali : Awful management especially to the lady manager (Unfortunately I didn't get her name).
To be fair, I must say the guy who first receiving me to the Riad Passali was Mr. Ayoub had been very friendly and helpful. I'm very sorry for him to work in Riad Passali with such as poor management. I met him in my 1st evening stay on 29 Dec then again early in the morning of 30 Dec while he started to prepare my breakfast. I supposed this had been a routine for him. I doubt, Riad Passali is treating his staff well needless to say to the solo guest like me.

Riad El Walida : (This is the substituted riad that given by the lady from Riad Passali).
The staff working there is friendly but not so informative and not proactive. They don't even tell the WIFI password or what time is the breakfast that going to serve the following day. WIFI only workable around the common area. Well, WIFI is small thing but the service team still need to brush up their skill in term of handling guests.

Imagine, my stay in Marrakech make me feel like I was being downgraded from Riad Passali to the Riad El Walida. If you have been to these 2 riads before then you know how it I felt and I started to compared.

To Original Travel (Kim Kim) side. I understand they did nothing wrong. The problem that created was solely from the management from Riad Passali.

I must say a million thanks to Mr. Said from Original Travel (Kim Kim). He has been very professional that trying his very best to solve my problem in Marrakech. If without Mr. Said, the plan will not go well in Marrakech after the unexpected incident ignite by The Management Team of Riad Passali.

On my last day, Mr. Mohamed who was my 8 days awesome driver need to bid farewell with me as he had been assigned to another new group. Mr Said did a very well arrangement for my transport on the last day. I was assigned assigned with a new driver that send me the Jardin Majorelle and to Marrakech Airport. The new driver was Mr. Soufiane. I must say that Mr. Soufiane was another awesome driver. Very helpful and informative too.

Overall, I would like to highly recommended Original Travel (Kim Kim) to the world.
The are so far the travel agent that offering the best travel service.
Once again, million thanks to Mr. Ali, Mr, Said, Mr. Mohamed and Mr. Soufiane.

Warmest regards,
Boon

The vocabulary and command of English language that Karim had was exceptional
Everything we asked for was very well organized and fulfilled. Transport, accommodation, and specific tours, of the best quality.
In Marrakesh, we met Hannan, who was our tour guide, in addition to being super well received by her, we were invited to a sensational dinner tour which my children thoroughly enjoyed.
Although all the cities we visited surprised us, it was the period of touring the dessert camp enchanted us the most. It was a very comfortable and relaxing tent stay to end our tour.
Much more than just providing services, and quick in responding to our questions we feel very welcomed and always taken care of by them.
By the end of the trip, we felt more like friends than customers. Highly recommend them.

However when our party of 22 arrived there , our family was told that we had to go to another tent. We waited for 20 minutes in the cold and were transferred to another, basic tent with cheap and bare minimum furnishings. Another family in our group also had the same experience. We had to be driven back for dinner to where the rest of the party were housed. We reported this to our local tour guide Ibrahim who made an alternate arrangement which was slightly better than the basic tent but still not the luxury tent we had originally booked and which others in our group got lucky enough to stay in.
This experience left a bad taste, especially since we were the first to book it and because we paid the same (high) price as the families who got the luxury tents.
Again, in Ourrzazate and Marrakech our accommodation were changed from a central location to different ones. In Ouarzazate, we were supposed to stay in a traditional Riad, and instead stayed in a standard hotel. The accommodation in Marrakesh was a good resort, but it took about 45 minutes each way to the city center, while the one I had planned for was right in the center with slightly more luxurious accommodations. Also the hotel we did stay in did not cater to our vegetarian options, despite our repeated prior communications with them, which led to many of us having to skip dinner on New Year’s Eve.
At the very least, I would have liked to have received communication about these changes. Not being informed about the downgrades made the experience all the more stressful and disappointing.

We were booked to stay here , but when were arrived we were transferred in a vehicle to another camp with cheap and basic accommodation after making us wait in the cold for 20 minutes. The rest of our group got the accommodation here while we who had booked earlier than the rest got to stay in a downgraded camp tent while paying the same high price for the luxury camp

Most of our accommodations were boutique-style hotels but were not elderly-friendly. Part of the accommodation difficulties included a lack of hot water to shower, overall poor lighting in the rooms, and no elevators for the elderly to use. Abdou was receptive to further improvement of his custom tour planning. We would recommend KimKim to Morocco travelers.

Said was wonderful, and friendly!! If I were to visit Morocco again, I would definitely want him to guide us. Our driver, Mohammed was quiet but a very nice gentleman. Timely and drove well.
Kamal in Fez was very knowledgeable and nice. He took to a restaurant for lunch, which turned out to be the best meal of our trip.

We planned a seven day trip in Morocco for seven people and everything was amazing. The organization was top notch and the operation was flawless.

We traveled to Morocco with 19 people, with three different arrival dates. Sharon helped coordinate complex room assignments, a private family event in the desert to celebrate a birthday, and so much more. The trip philosophy of Abdou and Sharon is to focus on locals in Morocco and to show a picture of Morocco that focuses on its true essence, the culture and local food of the people. During the actual trip, Abdou made everything seamless and everything was arranged without hesitation. He had a positive spirit and encouraged us to live in the moment the entire time. Every accommodation and activity was wonderful and would do this trip again in a heartbeat! We highly highly recommend a night in the Sahara desert camps and spending time in Dades. If we could do this again, probably would spend more time in Chefchaouen and Dades, and one less night in Marrakech.

As a family of 19 ranging from teens to senior citizens there was a lot of anticipation for what was to come. After many flight delays and hours of travel we were met with Abdou who made sure the rest of our trip was trouble - free. Abdou is full of great energy, very kind, patient, and wants to make sure you have the most fun possible. As we traveled across Morocco Abdou introduced us to the amazing culture and history that this country holds. Immediately you can tell he loves Morocco and that he's very passionate about sharing his culture with everyone. Some of the highlights were watching the sunset next to a Spanish mosque on top of a mountain, riding the camels through the desert, and being invited to his home where we met his wonderful wife, Sharon.
During the bus rides, Abdou kept us entertained. We played guessing games and the kids even wrote a paragraph based off the game :
"The country of Morocco is represented by it's flag which include the colors red and green. So far on this trip we visited the city Chefchaouen which is known for being the the blue city. Some of the meals we have eaten so are are Tagine which consists of potatoes, carrots and other vegetables and Couscous. We also visited Volubilis where we saw Roman ruins. Then we went to Fez where we saw many donkeys and stayed in the riad. Lastly we have tried Hammam which was an interesting experience for us all"
If you are looking for an adventure where you truly feel immersed in Moroccan culture without complications, then we highly recommend Morocco Immersion Tours and Adventures to plan your trip. We are very grateful for them and we will be sure to use them for our next trip!

He told us not to worry and took care of sorting out the impact of our late arrival in Morocco. We ended up losing a day in Fes, but once we arrived everything went just as planned. Our driver Salim was very friendly, reliable, and competent. He told us a lot about Morocco as we drove from place to place. We felt like we were in good hands with him behind the wheel. We spent a day with Hassan as our tour guide in Fes. We started at a few sites outside the medina and then spent the rest of the time inside the medina. Along with seeing what was there, we combined it with a food tour. We sampled authentic food from stalls, all delicious. He did a great job showing us around.

In my opinion, if you don't have a guide you will get hopelessly lost and not enjoy yourself. Our guide did a good job.

We were not interested in buying pottery, leather goods our carpets and Hassan was happy to move us along.

Mohamed was very quick to respond and kept us on track to get the vacation scheduled. The hotels that were selected were outstanding and exceeded our expectations. We especially liked our two tour guides in Marakkesh - one for a food tour (Hannan), and the other for a general tour of Marakkesh and the Old City (Abdal). Our driver for the week, Tarik, was friendly and helpful. He was great about communicating and coordinating between the different activities and the hotels. For example, on our final morning, we took a most amazing hot air balloon ride outside Marakkech with Mathieu as our pilot. Tarik knew what time our flight was and communicated directly with the hot air balloon company to make sure that we finished in enough time to make it to the airport on time. There were many moving parts to our vacation and multiple parties involved - the local tour company, our driver, different hotels and and guides for individual activities, but having it all organized through KimKim helped it feel seamless.
Four stars only because we ended up feeling a wee bit overscheduled. This was our first time in Morocco and going into the trip we did not understand how much driving time was needed between locations. However, given the complexity of the trip, we were overall very satisfied.
