While we stop to breathe in the fresh air underneath the palmtrees, I'll of course also tell you all about Marrakech and what life is like in the city.

Enjoy a cycle through all parts of Marrakesh with Umar who has excellent knowledge about the history and culture of this fascinating city. At first, it’s a daunting as you take to the roads and meet mopeds and donkeys all coming towards you but, be brave as Umar guide you carefully through some interesting sections of the city, and you can relax with him and find out more about local life. Be brave!

Omar was good fun, caring and very adaptable when my children were a bit scared of cycling around the city. He quickly suggested something else more suitable which was fun, insightful and considerate of the children. Omar is a great guide. Adaptable and friendly tour

This is a great way for anyone new to Marrakech to orient themselves and start to get to grips with this beguiling city.
Omar was personally recommended to us by a friend and we're really glad we took her advice. Omar is passionate and knowledgeable about his city and makes a great host.
We found the traffic to be crazily busy but not hostile. The bikes themselves were fairly terrible, but we did appreciate being able to hang out at the bike shop afterwards and utilise their wifi. Great introduction to the city

Omar is a great guide, we went for a bike tour. I like this concept as you can see more then by just walking. Marrakesh is a great city and with Omar we felt very safe despite the traffic. He even took us to the little restaurant only for locals and it was super great experience! Thank you Omar it was a pleasure!Thank you

Omar est un guide hors pair. Le tour est en anglais qu'Omar maîtrise très bien. Mais il parle aussi assez bien le français. Il ne devrait pas le cacher. Excellente découverte de la médina et de la nouvelle ville. A faire avec un guide sinon je n'aurais jamais même tenté. Assez vieux vélos mais quand même fonctionnels. Ça ajoute au charmeUn vrai plaisir

Omar is een ontzettend leuke goed Engels sprekende gids die ons gedurende de ontspannen fietstour veel heeft laten zien en veel heeft verteld over zijn stad en zijn land. Zowel de oude als de nieuwe stad hebben wij gezien en het is echt een aanrader om dit ook eens te ervaren.Fantastische fietstour

Wir hatten eine super Tour mit Omar , der für seine Stadt lebt. Er hat sie uns in 3 Stunden Fahrt ans Herz gelegt. Wir sind durch ganz verschiedene Gebiete geradelt und haben so einen fantastischen Überblick erhalten. Vielen herzlichen Dank an Omar für seinen Charme, Witz und die Sicherheit, die er uns beim Radeln durch das Verkehrs Chaos gegeben hat!! Perfekte Tour mit Omar

Taking this tour with Omar was superb. From the beginning, he was on contact with us, and helping us with all the information, not only about this tour but with other matter regarding Marrakech. He is very flexible with the times.
Talking about the tour, it was best option to tour around the city. We were able to cover many places. In the beginning it was bit intense because we did this tour on our first day in Marrakech. So, it was tricky in narrow road of souk or in busy traffic. However, Omar made us comfortable which gave us confidences too.
Omar made us stop in different places gave alot of information about the city.
It was one the best experience.
Not only that, after our tour he was willing to help us for shopping around. And as he was free during the day time, and we were hungry too, we went for food tour too. YES, HE DOES FOOD TOUR TOO. Even though many shops we closed due to festival, he did manage us to take different food stalls and helped us to taste the real Marrakesh.
Overall, we had a great day. Starting with bike ride to tasting a delicious food.
Thanks Omar !!
Hope you are still wearing that Nepali hat. Best way to discover Marrakesh

Omar’s tour was recommended to me by the Riad manager where i was staying and It didn’t disappoint. Great communication from even before tour started and very patient when I went to slightly the wrong place to meet him. Tour was so fun, really informative and showed the city at its best..tiny medina passages, markets, palaces, different religions and cultures…we even whistled at Storks! Thank you so much Omar. Brilliant experience, fantastic guide

I wanted to make something different to visit the city of Marrakech, so I booked a bike tour with Omar. And I was not disappointed. At the beginning I was a little bit worried about the intense traffic, but after few minutes I understood you just have to be part of the flow. Omar took us to the old and new part of the city, choosing comfortable streets and roads whenever possible, stopping from time to time to tell us about the history, culture and local habits. It was really interesting, also for my kids of 13 and 11 years old. We rent the bicycles at a store inside the Medina with a wide choice and also took the helmets.
It was a truly memorable experience, thank you Omar!Visiting Marrakech by bike

We had such a nice day met Omar, we had really good bikes, and the tour was perfect.
He showed us the old and new town, we stopped at a lot of places, got to know lots of information and after all of that he helped us (in his free time) to find a good carpet shop.
We really enjoyed our trip with Omar, and made a Marrakech friend for live! 👊🏼
Would definitely recommend this trip or any other with Omar!! We had a magical marrakech time!!

I booked a bicycle tour with Omar.
He was very flexible for the reservation cause I only had a very tiny time gap to make it.
From the moment we met we had a direct connection to each other. His attitude is highly professional and his knowledge is awesome. He showed me places you can never explore without a local. Lots of facts and ancient history from the old and the new part of Marrakesh.
I say thank you again and it was a pleasure to meet him.
Last minute tour with the best you can get.

Omar was the perfect host for our first day in Marrakech. His youthful positive energy really showed through in his passion to show us his city. His knowledge of all the local culture and ways of life was very insightful to an outsider. He was also careful in providing tips to maneuver around the city when on our own. Great local expert

Omar was a great guide and guided us safely through hectic streets giving us lots of information on his home town. We loved weaving through streets by bike -places we could never have found by ourselves or else would have only been meaningless without Omar! Thankyou so much!Thrilling fun!

Een leuke tour met een leuke gids. Omar is een vrolijke jonge man met een missie. Tijdens de tour stoppen voor extra info. We hebben er weer van geleerd over Marrakesh en de Marokkaanse cultuur en geschiedenis.

Fietsen waar dan ook ter wereld is altijd leuk. Je ziet veel, je komt op plekjes waar je lopend niet komt en je bent lekker bezig.
Omar heeft in al zijn enthousiasme en in goed Engels veel verteld en laten zien van Marrakech. Het was gezellig! Bedankt Omar!Niet nadenken, gewoon doen!!

my husband and I did the past and present bike ride with Omar in Marrakech on our first morning in the city. It was wonderful to see Marrakech through the eyes of Omar and to experience the "happenings' of the old town as well as the new with him. Omar has a wonderful knowledge of his country.
This was one of the best tours that we have ever done - by bike or otherwise. If you want to experience the real Marrakech do it with Omar as your guide whether on a bike or walking and you will not be disappointed.

He was very friendly and cheerful.
He stopped from time to time to share information with us about various areas. He spoke very good English. He kept a lookout for us to know that we were still following him.
We felt very safe as we negotiated the alleys and streets around Marrakech.
We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend Omar.Great Marrakech Ride

What an idea, biking in 36°, well I did it....and honestly it was a wonderful experience. Omar really tested my skills through the narrow Kasbah and Medina Streets, afterwards he took me to Gueliz, so necessary to cross a part of the city which is always a struggle in Marrakech, but due to this experienced guy, I felt very comfortable. So don't hesitate to book this great tour with wonderfull Omar. He's thé best !Past & present of Marrakech by bike

His English was very good and he took all the time to answer our questions. After 2,5 hours we had cycled a little more than 13km through the small streets and beautiful places.

Omar took two of us on a nice cycling tour around the old and new parts of Marrakech. The bikes were comfortable and Omar stopped in many places to talk about the city he loves. We ended up riding 13.5km, so it was good exercise too. I recommend the tour to anyone wanting to see a lot in a short space of time. Nice cruisy cycle through Marrakech

Biking around the old town Omar showed us places we would never find again in the maze that is called Marrakech. If we had any questions about anything Omar knew the awnsers. The traffic was a bit intimidating before we started but we felt completely safe during the ride as Omar guided us around like a pro! We really had a great time and we would recomend this tour to anyone visiting Marrakech. Old & new

Omar is SO knowledgeable about all thinks Morocco! We have taken tours with many guides in the month that we have been in Morocco and Omar stands way above any of the other guides. He knows the history of the country and the history of all the countries and areas related to the history of Morocco. He answers any and all questions, about the past and the present fully. There was not a question he couldn't answer! His tour is so full of interesting stories and facts. And, Omar always makes sure to take us out of the touristy places so we can see the "real" Marrakesh as well.
I highly recommend Omar if you really want to know and understand Marrakesh!Omar stands head and shoulders over any ot

Omar stond op ons te wachten op de afgesproken plek. Hij is een enthousiaste vriendelijke kerel die goed Engels spreekt. Hij heeft ons mooie plaatsen laten zien in het oude en nieuwe Marrakech. Door de smalle steegjes en drukke straten verloor hij ons niet uit het oog. Hij praat met passie over de stad. Onderweg heeft hij water gehaald en de Tour werd afgesloten met een glas verse jusdorange op het grote plein. Absolute aanrader als je de stad op een bijzondere manier wil ontdekken. Geweldige ervaring

Wir hatten einen Tag vorher schon mit einem Guide Marrakesch zu Fuß erkundet- aber mit dem Fahhrad durch die Souks und den Stadverkehr ist schon etwas sehr Besonderes. Man sieht sehr viel von Marrakesch und bekommt ein Gefühl, wie das Gewussel funktioniert...Omar ist ein witziger, sehr kundiger und flexibler Führer (haben kurzerhand einen Stopp eingelegt, um marokkanische Donats zu probieren). Spannende Geschichten über Marrakesch weiß Omar auch zu hauf - wer Lust auf ein Abenteuer hat: unbedingt diese Tour machen! Viel Spaß-thanks to Omar!Einmalige Erfahrung!

I chose this bike tour because I wanted to cover more places that you won’t be able to if you’re walking. Omar took me to old city and new city with an elaborated explanation of the sites we’re stopping by. A great and informative session from the local! At the end of the tour he went the extra mile to help me finding good restaurants and even book a hammam session. That session was ended with me being invited to the iftour (breakfasting during Ramadan) by the hammam staffs - thanks to Omar I got to experience all of those! Will never forget it and I surely recommend you to book his tour. He’s excellent. Thanks Omar!Excellent

The bike tour captured the essence of Medina (old town) and Gueliz (new town) well. Bikes were probably the most interesting way to experience Marrakech and Omar told interesting facts about the city. The end of the tour felt a bit rush (just biking through some parts), but overall a nice tour. Past&Present of Marrakech review

Riding a bike trough Marrakech was for us a great way to see the city.
At first I were a bit anxious about the traffic but this was not a problem at all. Like our guide, Omar told us, "just go with the flow", so we did and we had the best time.
Omar were really friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a great tour of both the old and new city.
I higly reccomend him as a guide.

Hello,
Omar is very lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. The bikes and helmets are in good shape. That said, i would not recommend this tour to anyone unless you are very experienced and brave. I expected the tour to be like ones we have done in other cities: through pedestrian zones, on sidewalks, on bath paths, through parks... In this tour you will spend a lot of time riding on the roads in multiple lanes of traffic, sharing the road with honking and pushing cars, donkeys, mopeds and motorcycles. It was easy for Omar to push his way through the traffic, and encouraged us to be bold and "just go for it and not yield" BUT we are from North America where there are street rules and found it pretty overwhelming and nerve wracking. We did this tour with our three capable but young children (youngest 9). Sorry Omar, but this is not a family tour! Great Guide, Exciting Tour
