The ride has some technical challenges, with crossings of congested city streets and threading roundabouts. Yassir pitched it to my ability level and did well at leading through the hard parts. It actually felt safer than walking some of the uneven pavements in the city. The tour includes a wide variety of sights and insights, twisty alleys, beachfront parks, and marketplaces. I’ve done several such rides in cities around the world and this was probably the most technical but also maybe the best overall. Highly recommended to the moderately adventurous as a street-level introduction to diverse neighborhoods of Casablanca.”
