Sadly our guide who I had chosen based on reviews, didn't show. We had an enthusiastic guy but apart from a stop at a bakery which felt interesting and special, there was not much en route that you couldn't have seen from a taxi. To have much more information about the city, its people etc. would have made this tour really great as well as stopping to see things you would not see ordinarily. Could be better

We did not have Khaoula as our guide because she was sick. She was replaced bij a young lady from 21 years old, biology student. I don’t know her name. She did a great job. She shows us interestings points and knows a lot about the story’s of Marrakech. We had a Nice tour. Thanks you so much!Great biketour

If you choose this tour (and you should), go with Khawla (spelled Khaoula here on withlocals). She is the best guide you can get. A young, warm-hearted, kind, knowledgeable, smart, passionate, confident young girl full of energy. Her level of English is beyond what you would expect. The tour with her felt like being with a friend all the time. On the tour, she showed me places inside and outside the Medina, that I could never find or visit myself. Riding the bike makes it easy to see a lot and Khawla had so much to tell about the stops, about life in Morocco, traditions and culture. We ended up spending a lot more time together than planned but there was so much to talk about and not a single boring moment. The only thing you have to be aware of, while Khawla is experienced with guests that are not used to riding the bicycle and also larger groups, the tour in general is more suitable for small groups (also perfect for single traveler) and guests who are used to riding a bicycle. The streets in the Medina are narrow and can be crowded, and the traffic outside the Medina is a little crazy. But once you dare to do it, you will be rewarded with a great experience with an amazing guide that deserves a 6*-rating on a 5*-scale.Great tour with the best tour guide ever!

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!!!

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

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 had booked the tour "Djemaa El Fna Square Market Tour & Tastings" for the first evening on the day of arrival. It was simply fantastic with Lhoussaine and Kamal, who guided us through the many narrow alleyways around Djemaa El Fna with charm, wit and friendliness. 5 carefully selected restaurants and food stalls gave us a perfect insight into the culinary diversity of Moroccan cuisine. Lhoussaine and Kamal extended the tour by a whole hour because there was simply so much for us to see. Highly recommended! Thank you both for a wonderful evening! Highly recommended!

We had a very good time and we learned alot about the life and people of the berber villages. Had a very nice lunch in a beautiful room. Very worth the money!! Amazing trip, guide and locals!

Omar was an interesting and informative guide, who showed us parts of the Medina that we wouldn't have found, and gave us the confidence to return and explore by ourselves. However, he rushed us through the souks and seemed frustrated when we stopped to take in the sights and atmosphere. We were 20 minutes late meeting him due to our bus being late, but I had forewarned him that this may happen. His food choices were not the best for us sadly. Firstly we had a delicious savoury msemmen and herbal tea cooked by a wonderful lady, but the main five tastes at the next venue were greasy, cold and totally unappetising. We were then rushed on to share a mere six tiny sweet treats between four of us. We declined the soup offer after that☹️ The herbalist was good fun and entertaining, so all was not lost!memorable experience

Our experience with Omar was just perfect for what we were looking for at that point of our trip. He is very relaxed and chill and from the first 5 minutes he makes you feel like you know him for a long time. Speaks perfect English and it is clear that he knows Marrakech like the back of his hand. This wasn’t just a fixed tour that he talked and we followed. He listened to what we wanted and was very flexible with the schedule and tour, because it was our first day at the city and we just wanted to get a general feeling of it. Also, he was very endearing and playful with our to young kids, which made the whole experience very relaxing and easy. Our only regret was that we did not book him for an extra tour regarding food tasting, but we will do that the next time we visit his beautiful city. We definitely recommend Omar for any kind of guided tour around Marrakech. Relaxed, knowledgable and fun!

My family and I had a wonderful walking tour with Omar. Earlier this year, my mother passed away, and during our tour, Omar kindly helped me find someone to fix one of her belts — a gesture that meant a lot. He also took us to some hidden gems in the Medina that we would have never found on our own. I know that tour guides sometimes receive commissions from the places they take you to, but the good news is that the experience never felt pushy. Everyone we met was welcoming, and we genuinely enjoyed the stops along the way. Omar also helped us organize a driver for a day trip outside of Marrakech, which made our travels even smoother. His cool and chill demeanor made the entire experience feel easy and comfortable — something we truly appreciated. Highly recommend Omar !! Chill and cool host

Through Hassan, we had a great guide - Hassan’s cousin - and an expert driver - Khaled - for our trip towards the Atlas Mountains in and around the town of Imlil in the National Park. The guys were great and worked around my knee problem. This meant there were more stops than normal and we were very grateful for that. We had a tasty lamb tagine for lunch en route. We talked about all manner of things in different languages along the trip. This is going to be one of the highlights of our holiday in Marakkech for sure and I’d recommend withlocals.com to anyone looking for guides who truly know their terrain. Many thanks from us both.Great trip to the atlas mountains

Omar not only knows the history of Marrakech, the cultural nuances and in-and-outs of the souks, he is also a good, kind, fun and hilarious person. We did 2 tours with him, saw places we wouldn't have found ourselves, learned a ton, met some wonderful people who we are now WhatsApp friends with and had a blast. Omar's love of Morocco is clear and made us love the country even more. Omar went above and beyond and we will definitely use him again when we are in Marrakech. Thanks Omar!!!Omar is a Marrakech Wonder!
