Great way to explore the Medina - Booked this 3 hour cycling tour after a recomendation from a friend. It was our first time in Marrakech and I was a little worried that cycling in amongst the hussle and bustle would be scary, especially with our 12 year old daughter. However early in the am, much of the route is relatively quiet and despite appearances road users are careful and courteous in the main. Our guide, Ouimaima (sp?) was new but knew the route and stops well and was very nice company. We got to see many interesting places and it was a perfect way to familiarise yourself with the Medina beyond the shops and stalls. Would highly recommend to anyone.

A delightful tour of a wonderful city - This was my second day into my Marrakech trip. I’d seen a few sights on my first day but this was the best way to get acquainted with the city. Jasmine (I’m sure that was her name…an educated and responsible guide) showed us the ‘real’ Marrakech, and we all felt confident in her leadership. We saw the Medina with all the sights, sounds and smells of the city. A highlight of my few days away!

Great hosts and a great tour - A fabulous way to get round this amazing city. We had a party of 8 and the two young women who took us round (Fatima and Ouimaima) were such great hosts - knowledgeable, engaging and so proud of their city . A few mildly hairy moments with other road users but nothing to worry about and really worth it as a fun and gentle way to see the sights. Highly recommend

Utterly amazing 🤩 - This was the best part of our holiday. It’s a true experience cycling around Marrakesh and not for the faint hearted but it was just excellent and as a couple we loved it. Hamid was our tour guide and he had help from another brilliant tour guide. We really got out into the community and understood facts about how people live. The ethos behind pikala bikes was also super and a brilliant purpose ❤️

6 star quality - This is a truly brilliant way to experience the old Medina of Marrakech. We've been to Marrakech many times, but today we got to see a whole different side to it. We learnt loads from our informative and friendly guide, who gave us a fully hosted and fun experience. From check in til the end of the tour 100% quality. Do not miss out on this cool and exciting way of exploring the city.

Visiting the locals. - We spent 3 hours cycling through the medina and outside. Not a tour where you cycle to important buildings of the city (you see some of them) but where you visit small local businesses, a mosaic maker, operation of the hammam oven etc. Very nice to see. Our Guide was Khalil, spoke good English and was enthusiastic. We had a very nice morning in Marrakech.

Ask for Rita!!!! - We had Rita as a guide and it was so much fun! She told very enthusiastic and cheerful. We've really seen places you wouldn't otherwise see. The stories she told also made it complete. I would definitely recommend this!!! Greetings girls from breda.
