Biking along the medieval red-clay city walls in particular is sure to make your Marrakech visit an extraordinary experience.

Fantastic tour of the city. Great communication the day before with location of the starting point. We were met by Helga who was professional and friendly and then taken by and other guide to collect our bikes from the hire shop. There were various bikes available depending on your preference. It is the most hair raising cycle tour I’ve ever done with the busy traffic and riding through the back streets and souks however I would not have missed it. The information and parts of the city we wouldn’t have seen otherwise was great. Would recommend.

An amazing trip - the absolute highlight of our holiday in Marrakech. I’d recommend doing this early in your stay as you see so much (and learn so much about the culture) - and it really helps to orientate in the city. And you see so many places we wouldn’t otherwise have found, including parks, the new town & so much more - we went back to visit some of the stops again in the following days. A fabulous guide too - and great Canondale bikes. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

I strongly recommend this activity, especially to do at the beginning of your stay, it allows you to visualize the monuments and districts. Our Redouane guide was simply perfect, very attentive, friendly, a top guide! A big thank you to him for his investment

Great way to spend a morning. Our guide Abdou was excellent, giving just the right amount of info along the way. It was a bit scary going through the Medina on bikes, but despite being fairly elderly, we survived and enjoyed the adventure.

Great to bike around in Marrakesh and in the Medina! Good bikes and a Dutch speaking guide.
