Best thing you can do in Marrakech - Super experience! Very nice guide, friendly, good explanation and nice contact with the children. You will go to places where you would otherwise not just go and learn a lot from everyday life. And cycling through the organized chaos is a lot of fun anyway (and doable! Also with kids aged 9-15). Takes about 3 hours in total, including a stopover with some goodies. Really worth it.

Picala Biketour - We had an absolutely lovely ride tour with Zouher, a perfect host and guide who took us through the old and new city, very friendly, perfect English and very knowledgeable about the history of Morocco. The perfect opportunity to learn and see more about beautiful Marrakesh and its history and people. We would absolutely recommend Picala biketour!

Dutch tour of Youssef - Fantastic tour through the narrow streets of Marrakech. Just remains the best way to quickly get to know the city and find out where you should and shouldn't be for a good time. Youssef takes his time, gives good tips and is very witty. Nice guy and besides, everything goes in fluent Dutch. Very clever because he taught himself this in 2.5 years. Just book it;)

Highly recommended! - The bike ride is highly recommended. A must do for the first day, you can see a lot of the old and new city in a few hours, and the effective bike is not too bad:) Youssef, our guide, spoke good Dutch, could explain enthusiastically and made sure the bike ride was a real success! It's totally worth the price and the time

Fantastic way to see the real Marrakech - Great morning out. Sayed our guide was very knowledgeable. He provided a real insight into Marrakech. Cycles were basic but safe and functional. It helps if you are reasonably confident on a bike as parts of the route through the Medina were pretty hectic (narrow streets filled with pedestrians, motorcycles and most other forms of transport known to man). Great to support the community ethos around Pikala. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Cycling through Marrakech, family excursion. - Our guide Khawla, who spoke very good English, went out with our family of 5. First time was made to find the right bikes for the children. Then we cycled through Marrakech, through the heavy traffic and narrow streets. One of our children found it very exciting, but she knew how to reassure him. She also knew a lot about the stops we made along the way. Super fun excursion! Very nice that there is also a charity behind it.

Nice bike ride!! - Had a nice trip led by I think Saïd. I was in Marrakech twice before, knew the highlights and this bike tour went past ordinary places, also very nice. I was looking forward to a view of the garden in front of the Koutoubia mosque (tower) for a photo (I saw it at the info) and that was not in the cards. And we left at least half an hour later but were back on time. Couldn't we have seen a little more? But all in all highly recommended. So definitely do!!
