Khaoula not only showed us the most special places of Marrakech, she also told us about the real life in Marocco and shared her own story with us. She has great knowledge, is very bright and curious and is the best and nicest guide we ever had. Everybody should go on a bike ride with Khaoula!Best tour and guide we ever had!

We enjoyed a great ride with Khaoula who was super accommodating and friendly and went very slowly so we could all find our pedaling mojo! At times it was hectic and at other times we were taken down peaceful quiet back streets so we were able to experience the real energy of the city. Thoroughly recommend Khaoula as a guide and also the great cafe she took us to for refreshments at the end. We have been back many times as it is such a peaceful little oasis. Fun family tour

We had an incredible experience with Khaoula on her cycling tour of Marrakesh! She is truly passionate about what she does, and her enthusiasm made the entire journey unforgettable. Khaoula ensured we saw the very best parts of the city. Beyond just the sights, she shared so much about local life, culture, and traditions, giving us a deeper understanding of Marrakesh. It was not just a tour—it felt like an authentic exploration with a local friend. We opted for a private tour, which made the experience even more personalized and enjoyable. We learned so much, had so much fun, and would highly recommend Khaoula to anyone visiting Marrakesh. Thank you for an amazing day!Best Cycling Tour Host in Marrakesh

It was a wonderful trip. Who had thought to cycle in Marrakech over the main roads and through the alleys? The information made our stay extra special! We saw traditional and new way of life and we had not seen that without this tour. Khaoula is a super social and positive young lady who shared a lot of interesting information about culture and about the organisation Pikala Bikes. It is great to hear and see about the empowerment they bring together! We all loved it!Amazing experience!!!

Khaoula is a wonderful guide and we enjoyed every moment. It's even better that it helps contribute to such a good cause.Fantastic, interesting and fun tour

We had a stunning tour with the most amazing guide Kahoula through the Medina for 3 hours to different areas. She told us all about her culture and answered all our questions including her life, education and experiences as a young woman from this region. She expertly guided us through the medina despite the chaos and busy traffic in areas we would never have considered you could ride a bike!!! This tour was made very informative, easy to understand and great fun by her and we highly recommend her as a guide and this tour to everyone. Best Bike Tour experience

From booking to doing tour was fabulous. I was a bit nervous cycling in crowded city but Khaoula was amazing at guiding us and reassuring. The tour was super interesting and even better than I had imagined. Highly recommend. I booked and then cancelled and immediately rebooked kind of by accident but told I will get refunded so hopefully I will but they seem very organised on website and when checking In to do tour. If only all the motorbikes in Marakesh would swap to push bikes what an improvement it would be to this busy city.Khaoula is just such a wonderful guide

While I’m sure all the staff at Pikala bikes are wonderful, Khaoula is special. Even on a hot day in Ramadan, her enthusiasm and love of her city shone out.

Every city we visit we always do a tour to get a better understanding of the history and the culture of the city. I have to say that this Pikala bike tour of Marrakesh was one of the best and truly insightful tours we have done. Our wonderful guide Fatima brought us to places and to meet with locals that tourists rarely get to see. It gave us such a fascinating and authentic experience. This is a must do tour if you want to get beyond the standardised tourist experience. You will be also supporting a great social enterprise as well. A unique insight

Fatima was an excellent guide, her English was very good with lots of insight on the history of our stops. The Pikala group needs to work on their communication. The location of the meet up could not be found on Google maps. Clarity of the situation took several days. Why not say we meet at Pikala Bicycle? They have helmets, ask for one. Loved the stop at Pikala cafe.Interesting if not a little scary tour

Our tour with Halima was the highlight of our time in Marrakech. It was such an experience to bike the streets with her safely guiding us through the mayhem. She took us to see so many local businesses and organizations that we never would have learned about otherwise. It was truly a local's tour. We can contrast this wonderful tour with the one we had the next day. We joined some family members who were on a fully-guided tour throughout Morocco while they were in Marrakech. The guide did take us to some beautiful sites like Bahia Palace and the Blue Gardens, but he also brought us into places whose main goal was to rip off tourists. We were left with a very bad taste in our mouths, and made even more appreciative of this WithLocals tour! Fantastic local tour

We also liked that he took us tasting stuff that wasn't obvious and really enjoyed his selection and advise. For our teenage son it was also fun with a guide that was a bit closer in age than his parents. We can highly recommend Omar if you want to get to know Marrakech from a different angle than you would have on your own.Great fun with charming Omar

We had a wonderful introduction to Marrakech with Omar. He's very kind, knowledgeable, and happily answered all of our questions. He was wonderful with our 10 year old and made sure she was also enjoying the experience and learning things. His tour is a really good mix of making sure we saw the things that "tourists should see" as well as taking us off the beaten path. We saw areas of the Medina that we never would have found on our own (and probably couldn't find again if we tried!) We would definitely book another tour with Omar if we find ourselves back in Marrakech. Fabulous Tour in Marrakech

Omar was a fantastic guide around Marrakech. He gave us a tour of his city on our first evening and it was the perfect introduction to the incredible sights and sounds of a unique place. Not one who usually relishes walking, our five year old son also loved the tour, and Omar was brilliant with him, keeping him entertained throughout. We were treated to some of Omar’s favourite local spots, and his insights gave us the perfect start to a wonderful holiday in Marrakech - we couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

When visiting a city as vibrant and storied as Marrakech, the difference between a good experience and an unforgettable one often comes down to your guide. Enter Omar, an exceptional city guide whose knowledge, charm, and wisdom transformed my visit into a rich tapestry of history, culture, and personal connection. Spending five hours on a private tour with him was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very start, Omar’s warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease. With a radiant smile and an infectious enthusiasm for his city, he greeted me like an old friend and instantly made me feel like I was in the best of hands. His genuine passion for Marrakech was apparent in every word, gesture, and story he shared throughout our time together. Omar’s knowledge of the city is nothing short of encyclopedic, yet he presents it in a way that is engaging, relatable, and, above all, human. He guided me through the labyrinthine streets of the Medina, pointing out not just the landmarks but also the hidden gems that most tourists would overlook. From the bustling souks, where the air is thick with the aroma of spices and leather, to the serene beauty of the Bahia Palace, Omar’s deep understanding of Marrakech’s history and culture added layers of meaning to every sight. One of the most remarkable aspects of Omar’s tour was his storytelling. He wove together tales of Marrakech’s past and present with such vivid detail that it felt like stepping into a living history book. He shared stories of the city’s foundation, its importance as a trade hub, and its transformation into the cultural epicenter it is today. These weren’t dry, textbook accounts; they were lively narratives that painted a picture of the people, politics, and passion that have shaped Marrakech over the centuries. Omar’s wisdom truly belies his years. Despite his youthful energy, he has an old soul’s insight into the complexities of life and culture. His ability to connect the past with the present was particularly striking. For instance, while walking through the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter, he spoke not only of its historical significance but also of the efforts to preserve its legacy in today’s rapidly modernizing world. His reflections on the coexistence of tradition and progress left me with a deeper appreciation for the city’s resilience and adaptability. In addition to the historical and cultural highlights, Omar introduced me to some truly breathtaking spots that I would have never discovered on my own. From hidden courtyards to vibrant artisan workshops, he had a knack for revealing the soul of the city in unexpected places. The way he interacted with locals along the way—always with respect and warmth—showed his genuine connection to the community, adding an authentic layer to the experience. The five hours I spent with Omar flew by, yet every moment felt rich with discovery. By the end of the tour, I felt not only more connected to Marrakech but also more inspired by the stories, wisdom, and spirit Omar shared with me. For anyone visiting Marrakech, a tour with Omar is an absolute must. His deep knowledge, charming personality, and storytelling mastery make him more than just a guide; he becomes a bridge to the heart of this incredible city. Omar doesn’t just show you Marrakech—he makes you fall in love with it.A Journey Through Time and Culture
