The journey was an unique amazing experience. The local guide Sallah had knowledge of the Maroccon and Western culture hence his storytelling was quite complete (and his English was really good). Must do!
We got a private tour from Yassir on E-mountain bikes, provided by Hamza, who also rode with us. The reception in the store was very cordial, the lady arranged everything immediately. Guide Yassir was very entertaining and a special person. Hamza was quiet and went somewhere along the way with all the patience in the world to see a scorpion, when we got an explanation about former wells. Trip is highly recommended, the bikes were also great!
Yessir was a great guide - we’d recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get out of Marrakech, get some exercise, do something different and learn a lot of interesting stuff! Thanks Yessir!
Yessir was an amazing guide and we greatly enjoyed our tour. We’d really recommend this experience as a way to escape the noise of Marrakech and get some experience- it allows you to see another side of the city and its a very interesting tour.
Yassir, our bike guide was super competent. He took into consideration the speed of our daughter (8), was super knowledgeable about the area, speaks perfect English (and Spanish and French anyway) and was happy to communicate. With a child, the tour is only possible if it is really good and enjoys cycling. The area is not really nice, but absolutely interested.
The view is especially good! The tour guide brother is interesting, learned a lot! A lot of historical knowledge was introduced along the way, and my brother was very educated. Recommend friends with outdoor sports experience to participate!
This was a nice bike ride, but the description was a bit unclear. We were driven from the Medina to the Oasis, which is desert that recently got planted with palm trees and there are some fancy homes. But it was kind of barren and full of trash. We did stop at a water museum, but we weren’t able to go in bc of time. We just looked at a few outdoor exhibits. The bikes were nice quality, but mine needed some maintenance and my seat kept moving. Our guide was really nice. Water was provided. We had a couple stops that were briefly explained. It was a nice way to get out, next time I would do the Medina tour.
Team were very accommodating, as I arrived slightly late due to flight delays. Was a little surprised to find that the tour started in the heart of the medina, which meant cycling on the busy roads (including within the Souks). Sofian was beyond patient and reassuringly calm. The cycle ride was fun and I was pleasantly surprised by how the locals were considerate of making space for the tourist on the road. The palmerie itself was lovely and peaceful, which made for a nice contrast from the busyness of the Medina. I’d highly recommend this unique experience - it was a great way to really be in the heart of Marrakech.
The tour was awesome we had really a great time and guide abdel was kind and friendly and he showed us alot of local places
we had the best bike ride u can ever imagine, in addition to an amazing staff, who did provide us all what we needed for the ride. to be honest you all should give it a try
