  Our guide, Abdul, was very good. He was organized, efficient, and friendly. He was never pushy or demanding and was patient with everyone. He shared his knowledge of Morocco and gave us many helpful travel tips. We were very satisfied with our tour and it exceeded our expectations.

  The tour was brilliant. It left me tired but refreshed. I feel like I have been on holiday for a month not 2 weeks. Abdul was knowledgable and passionate about his country, well organised and good fun to be with. He was patient and kind. Mohammed and Hassan were brilliant in support, always around to help with a smile.

  This tour was so good. Our guide, Mohamed, and his assistant, Rashid, were wonderful. So friendly and informative and solicitous. They did everything they could to make us comfortable and to ensure that we had a good time. The scenery was astounding, the itinerary well thought out so that we got a good overview of Morocco. The cycling was more challenging than I expected; Morocco is hilly... dare I say, mountainous... and for me, used to riding at sea level, this was a challenge. Some of the rode some long, steep grades. If you're not used to riding long up-hill sections, you might want to consider the e-bike option. However, I highly recommend this tour. Can't say enough good about it.

  From start to finish, I was thrilled and impressed with the Moroccan cycling tour. As a pretty avid cyclist, I was hesitant about booking the trip due to what I considered as low cycling mileage on the itinerary. I decided, however, to go with the trip because for me, it was more about seeing and experiencing Morocco than cycling (which I can do a lot of at home). I'm so glad I did! My particular tour had a main guide, Mohamed, and a guide in training, Rachid. The two alternated lead and rear positions, enabling faster riders to ride ahead of the group at an adequately challenging pace with one and slower paced riders could take their time (and lots of photos) with the other. It was perfect! Plus, with a bit of travel lag and all of the other activities on the itinerary, the amount and length of rides turned out to be just right. I especially appreciated how the guides provided Strava route information for the rides, as well as a daily itinerary summary at the beginning of each day. In the trip itinerary literature, It was recommended to take a sleeping bag for winter season trips. I took one and was extremely that glad I did. All hotels had heat and extra blankets but for me personally, I needed more to be comfortable. I used my sleeping bag plus wore Mountain Hardware Ghost Whisperer pants and jacket to sleep in. Perfect. For daytime activities, I had a light jacket, a fleece vest, and a down-filled puffy vest which was great for layering. On the bike, I wore arm warmers, a base layer, a jersey, and a wind vest. On a couple of days, I also wore an additional light wind/rain jacket. On the bottom I wore cycling shorts covered by ankle-length cycling leggings. I took fleece-lined leggings as well but those weren't necessary. Short and full finger gloves a must, as well as thicker socks, and a neck/head covering beneath the helmet. Two cycling kits were adequate - there was enough time to wash and air-dry articles of clothing when needed. If in doubt, take more rather than less warm outerwear. With regard to food, there was always more than plenty of it and it was absolutely delicious! Generous amounts of snacks and beverages were also provided during rides. In addition, the guides provided excellent suggestions for reasonably priced places to eat meals that were not included in the trip. I cannot recall one instance during the entire trip in which I desired more or different food options. Overall, I enjoyed every second of the trip. The guides were young, fun, respectful, flexible, fit and well-organized. They went out of their way to get medicine for people who needed it, they arranged for me to get my delayed luggage from the airport two days after my arrival, and they even treated our group to incredible hospitality at their family's home for tea and dessert. Our driver, Mohamed, was also extremely safe at all times and the bike workers worked very efficiently to keep all cyclists on the road with minimal down-time. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish!

  Pluses: This trip was excellent and would highly recommend it. Cycling had some challenging hills, some hot and windy days. Highly advise hydro pack, not just a water bottle. Culturally, very interesting. I did not find vehicle traffic an issue. We were there during Ramadan. There were less cafes and restaurants open than normal, and some cities and hotels did not have alcohol. Us westerners whined but managed and super enjoyed a cold beer when available! The guides were excellent, very friendly and good bike mechanics and organized great food and cultural experiences. Cons: bikes not serviced prior and a couple had permanent issues. Not everyone had high geared bike with suspension for steep hills so they worked hard. E-bikes ridiculously expensive compared to what you pay in Europe ( almost 3x’s more) and were older, heavy models. Need to upgrade bikes. Trip should start in Tangiers, not Marrakech. First day of riding was mostly a waste. Really fun cycle through the heat and bustle of Marrakech and Medina but had to check out of our hotel by 1:30. We were tired from the heat and no where to hang out. Evening cool and pleasant but catching train to Tangiers. Train was slow, noisy, stopped lots and very poor sleep. Arrived in Tangiers about 0800 but hotel rooms not ready and everyone had to change into cycle clothes, brush teeth etc. in hotel lobby bathroom. Cycling that day was very windy. We were there late March/early April.

  Morocco felt safe. The people friendly. The food good. I would have liked the cycling to be on less trafficed roads. A few days there was too much pollution inhaled.
