Perfect vacation planning in Morocco

This was our first time working with KimKim and Original Travels and we could not have been more pleased. They took all the stress out of planning the trip. We told them the cities we wanted to visit and our budget for appropriate riads to stay and they put together the perfect itinerary of comfortable and well located riads along with customized day tours of the cities. We also can’t stress enough how wonderful it was to have a private driver throughout our trip. Reda was not only enjoyable to be with but was so accommodating to our whims of stopping for supplies and amenities. More than an a driver, he was a friend. And the home base staff of Ali and Said were available instantly when we had questions during the trip or wants to change things at the last minute. There was never a feeling of guilt. They made us feel like we were their only travelers. So polite and professional. We look forward to using this team again for future travels. If you want to truly relax and enjoy an adventure of a trip that spans multiple cities, you will not beat the prices and service of this team.

Easy to customize a 10 day tour

Booked a 10 day trip, Abdel was easy to communicate with to customize what we wanted to see in Morocco and gave us a few options. It was also great to know the drivers and local guide in each city spoke English. Transportation, hotels/riads, and mini excursions were all planned out by the company for us.

An awesome return to travel

Our trip to Marrakech and Imlil in the Atlas Mountains, planned and guided by Abdel from Original Travels, was a spectacular (!!) return to travel for a group of vaccinated expats coming from Abu Dhabi. We started out with a very smooth transfer from Casablanca to Marrakech with our wonderful (and safe!) driver, Samir, then had dinner at our gorgeous riad, Palais Sebban, a solid recommendation from Abdel. Our first morning, we took a super fun and informative cooking class at Maison Al Arabe then met up with our laid-back and kind local guide Hassan, for a loop through the Medina where we learned a lot about the culture and daily life of Marrakech and shopped for carpets, leather goods and argan oil. The following day we were driven to Imlil in the Atlas Mountains for unforgettable hiking, visits with local Berber families for lunch and tea and a night of stargazing and some of the best tajine of the trip from Khasbah du Toukbal. Then it was back to Marrakech for our last two nights. We booked hammam treatments at the Royal Mansour, one of the city's prettiest hotels, a stop at the Majorelle Gardens and YSL museum and a final loop through the souq. Phew! We are a relatively well-traveled group and I have to say this was a trip of a lifetime, thanks to Abdel. He was so responsive and helpful in planning and leading us, but also patient and sweet when it came to giving us time to relax and do our own thing. If you're looking to be a tourist, and I mean that in the very best sense of the word of experiencing and learning and feeling awe and gratitude for this big world, Original Travels is how to do it. Thank you, Abdel!

Unforgettable Morocco

We miss Morocco and our amazing guide Abdel and Karim, our always smiling driver! Abdel arranged a magical trip for us, a true experience and not simply a prescribed list of sights. The highlight of our trip was our 2-nights camping in the Sahara at Tiziri Camp. The camp is run by Akmed with his team of friendly helpers/amazing musicians. After delicious dinners we would sit around the fire listening to live music played by Akmed and his crew. Fantastic! We had many memorable discussions under the starry sky and I happily celebrated an unforgettable birthday there. We also visited a nomad home and rode camels at sunset, heard the music of Mali... thank you Akmed! We have visited Morocco before but this trip taught us a great deal more and deepened the experience immeasurably.

Best trip ever!

What can I say? Words just don’t do an experience like we had any justice. It was a breathtaking, sweeping view of a beautiful country rich in religious, cultural, historical and geographical wonders. Abdellah, our guide, and Mohamed, our driver (more importantly our good friends) took us on the trip of a lifetime. With Covid, the flights were a little tricky and we missed the first day of our scheduled tour. They were super flexible and accommodating and fixed our tour without any issues. When we arrived they were both there to greet us with smiling faces and a nice air conditioned car. We went to Chefchouen, the blue pearl of Morocco, Fes, Skoura Oasis, the Sahara Desert and Marrakech. (We had to skip Casablanca because of our flights.) We drove the whole way to each place. Abdellah and Mohamed pointed out all the details along the way and answered all of our questions. We ate amazing local food and experienced life like it is for the locals. Our Riads (little bed and breakfasts made out of old homes that are like mansions) were amazingly beautiful and unique at each stopping point. If you choose to go to Morocco, you have to go to the Sahara. It’s a must. We stayed at TIZIRI camp and were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves. It was magical. Please use Oroginal travels for your plans. A trustworthy company that will make your trip exactly what you want and need. Thank you guys. 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great Week in Morocco

We did a weeklong trip in May 2019 and had a fantastic time. Original Travels arranged a wonderful trip - they listened to what we wanted and figured out a perfect trip for us. Our driver was very nice and easy to work with. We fit in some extra hikes and adventures which made the trip even more fun. Excellent trip - I highly recommend Morocco and Original Travels

Whatever you want to do in Morocco, they can deliver!!!

If you want a unique experience in Morocco, then Original Travels is the the perfect travel agency for you! From back country trekking deep into the mountains to more luxurious trips, they can do everything for you and your family or friends! I've been travelling with Original Travels during spring 2019 and I really enjoyed my stay. We did a 5-6 days trekking through Ait Bouguemez to the summit of the M'Goun and we were alone on the tracks! We didn't met any other travelers! That's what I call back country experience! Going through small villages with very welcoming people, breath taking sceneries, very good meals and snacks... always with some fresh baked bread and olive oil and sweet mint tea! I have recommended friends to Original Travels and they have been very happy with their experience. I will strongly recommend Original Travels again, and I will contact them for my next trip in Morocco!

Personalised hiking in Maroc

We booked a 9 day trip with Abdel of OTTravel in october 2019. He was recommended by a friend who had hone with him twice already. The recommandation was duely founded. We had a fantastic experience on our trip. We visited the main cities by ourselves and wanted a true wilderness hike experience. We went through volcanic mountainous regions, camped in the strict middle of nowhere as we wanted. On our trip we were perfectly accompanied by competent guides, mule-riders and a cook. Our sleeping tents and eating area were up when we arrived at each site. The food was absolutely perfect, tasty and fresh. We had an intense trip planned over many parts of maroc and many many kimometers. We were extremely well taken care of. People were friendly and helpful. We met the actual owner and had good talks with the guides. We saw things we never saw before. All in all we highly recommend this travel compagny. The hikes are the highlight. Do 1 day in fes or marrakesh to see what a medina is, the go straight to the nature. Skip the desert and hike some more. And go hike with OTTravel.

A wonderful trip at the heart of…

A wonderful trip at the heart of Morocco and its traditions off the beaten tracks. Cultural and immersive experiences, every detail was carried out by rigorous and attentive people. Many thanks to Abdellah, an honest and lovely person. I recommend Original Travels without hesitation.
