Best way to see Marrakesh - just ‘cycle right in!’ - A fantastic adventure through Marrakesh. I went with my late teens daughter and this was a real highlight. We’d been recommended the cycle trip by friends and so glad we did it. The team were very friendly and our guide was terrific. You do need to have a bit of confidence riding a bike in a city, but don’t let that put you off. Once you get used to the bustle it is amazing how natural it is, and the streets and alleys really do flow along. We stopped at different sights and shops - seeing parts of the City you won’t think of automatically and which also reflect more of what the locals actually do not just the tourist spots. Top tip to do the cycle tour early in your trip as it will take you around places you can then put on your list to revisit. We had fun working out our route on the map afterwards and then did a lot of it again on foot. No better way to throw yourself into Marrakesh than to do this trip and embrace both the flow and the craziness of this bustling city. Thanks to all the Pikala team

The best way to start your holiday in Marrakech! - We booked the morning bike tour around Marrakech for our first day. This turned out to be a good choice as it was a bit cooler and less busy on traffic at least initially. The group was small, our family of four and two others. The staff were fantastic. They were all friendly and welcoming and our guide seemed really happy to be there which made the whole experience very enjoyable! It was a perfect way to get a feeling for the city on our first day and we got see so much in a relatively short time with a lot less effort than walking in the August heat. Although traffic seemed a little chaotic I always felt safe on the bikes. Our teenagers enjoyed the tour saying it was better than they expected. High praise indeed! I'd 100% recommend this tour.

Absolutely recommended! - We took the bike tour through Marrakech with our three kids under the guidance of guide Youssef. This was not our first time in Marrakech, but we came to places we had never seen before. It was a really cool way to discover the city, we enjoyed it. Much respect for Youssef who, in all modesty, taught himself perfect Dutch (without ever having been there!) and enthusiastically talked about all the beautiful things we passed along the way.

Must do! - We were absolutely thrilled with this tour. There were only 5 of us and we got around really well. The tour was very interesting and Mohammed gave us good information about the planned route, next stops, etc. He was also able to pass on a lot of knowledge about the city to us. Definitely recommend it!

Beautiful adventure tour - What a nice way to discover the city, nice welcome, good bikes and nice stops in various places. The guide Simo told interesting stories about the places we were, his life in Morocco and was really interested in our stories. Completely worth the money. Afterwards we had a drink and cookies in the beautiful cafe of the organizer, where we played a game of uno with Simo. Cycling through the city and Medina in particular looks challenging, but with the right guide and some (Dutch) cycling experience it is actually quite simple

Like being part of a movie - Cycling through the small streets of Marrakech feels like being part of a movie. The guide was very good and the modern bikes were easy to ride. Best way to see a lot in a few hours en really feel like being a part of the hectic city center. 😀
