GREAT tour w/local guide Simor L. Saw and ate wonderful food that only a local would know of. Best breakfast (it sounds weird but it was delish) chickpea porridge and lunch of chicken tangine with beans was sooooo good. Biking was level. Simor is competent and fun. Recommend this!

This was our favorite experience in our time in Morocco. Definitely need to feel comfortable about riding a bike, but it's much easier than it may seem when pressed into the tight confines of the medina. We were able to see and taste so much in a short amount of time and get great recommendations...

Bike tour was lots of fun. I'm sure we were just confused because we had read about so many different activities, but we did expect this tour to be more food tasting than biking. We did have a main dish at one restaurant, and a smoothie at another place, and both were really yummy. We biked through the medina, and the tour guide pointed out some great things for us to go explore later. He also took some fun pictures of us. The starting and ending point for the tour was outside of the medina, which meant that we had a significant length of ride at the beginning and end of the tour. Bikes are not allowed to ride on the sidewalks, so we drove on the side of the road, and sometimes competed with the cars for space on the road. The guides were awesome at keeping us safe, and helped us negotiate the busy round-a-bouts safely. We had a couple of teenaged boys in our group who were not super experienced with driving and sharing the road, but the guides were very patient and kind. They made sure we all had bikes that fit us, and they were able to tweak a couple of adjustments along the way as well. The guides were so nice even though we were about 20 min late for our appointment. I would definitely recommend for anyone who wants a different perspective of the city, and for people who enjoy biking.We did the 4 hour bike tour with Mohammed Rhourdmani. He was amazing - knowledgeable and thoughtful. We saw the city, learned a lot and had a great ride as well. Strongly recommend!
