Pikala tour with Hamit - This was an excellent way to see the medina. Our guide Hamit was brilliant- knowledgeable and friendly and prepared to give us lots of time and space to look and to question. The trip lasted nearly 3 hours taking in the medina, kings palace gardens and some of the new city. I completely recommend

Exciting ride around the old and new town - The trip around Marrakech was exciting and well planned, if a little scary at times in the narrow streets. The stops for food, drinks and to show traditional local crafts were fun and well organized. Cycling is a great way to experience the old and new of Marrakech.

Great way to get to know Marrakech, nice and knowledgeable guide - We had a very interesting and fun bike ride with Omar. He is a knowledgeable and friendly guide and showed us highlights of Marrakech with regular stops to explain sights and sounds. Biking in the city might seem chaotic but it was surprisingly smooth thanks to Omar’s guidance. Would definitely recommend.

Great way to get a feeling of Marrakech - Had a great cycling tour with guide Khalid. Traffic in Marrakech is hectic but we went though some small streets, checking out the spots in the Medina and had a little tour in the new town as well.. what a difference… we ended in the Pikala cafe with a nice drink and cookies. Khalid thanks for showing us around.

A recommendation - We saw a completely different Marrakech than we could do on foot. An enthusiastic and good guide. We visited a place on the way where they made mosaics. We had to ask ourselves if we could also buy something 😁.

2 wheeled fun - This was a really fun way to explore Marrakesh. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakesh who can ride a bike. We were safely navigatedby our guide through the main and back streets stopping at local points of interest. Good value for money and all the money is invested back into this local charity that promote the use of sustainable transport.

Great cultural experience - Our favorite way to see a city is on a bike tour and we’ve done them in many cities around the world. We especially enjoy tours that take us off the beaten path to see non-touristic sights. This fit the bill completely. The tour doesn’t go to the main sights but does give you a great understanding of the culture in the city especially in the Medina. It’s not an easy ride. Though not strenuous as it’s flat and not fast, it can be very hard to navigate the traffic (cars, people, bikes, motorcycles, donkeys) especially as it gets more crowded. Our guide was great at making sure we stayed together but it was a challenge at times. And we paid for a private tour so it was just four of us with a guide - though it looked like larger groups had a second guide at the back to help. Recommend doing this if you feel confident on a bike and in crowds. We enjoyed learning about the culture and seeing more of the city than we would have been able to on foot. Highly recommend.

Ask for Khawla, perfectly speaking English very friendly and happy lady!! - We had a great time bicycling in Marrakech. A helpful thing to do on your first day to get a good first impression. We definitely had the best guide ever. She was so happy and friendly and speaks perfectly English, her name is Khawla. Thank you Khawla for a great experience!

100% would recommend this - Would highly recommend this. The guides are simply excellent really fun and knowledgable (one of ours was a medical student just lovely guy). You see Marrakesh from the inside and cover quite some distance in 3 hours! We loved it totally worth it and was highlight of our 4 days in Marrakesh.
