Utterly brilliant!

Nina_C, May 2024

Honestly one of the best tours we have ever done in a city. And at age 59 we have done a lot! Atlas, our driver, was super friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel safe. Really interesting journey to see parts of Marrakesh that are off the tourist trail. Highly recommend this tour but make sure your travel insurance will cover you! My policy didn’t so we had to use a different insurer.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you Nina for this great feedback, Atlas will surely appreciate it as much as we did! I'd love to hear about your insurance company and how you dealt with this as I wasn't aware of such possible situation, id you don't mind, could you drop me a line on thomas at insidersexperience dotcom please? This might help me fix this for future travelers! Safe travels and thanks again for choosing us!

So fun!

Lori_C, Apr 2024

Such a fun way to see Marrakech. Nabil not only took me to see amazing sights, he also shared stories that made it so much more special. He was knowledgeable and provided useful tips. Loved this experience.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you Lori for your very kind words, it's great tp read that Nabil delivered to the level of your expectations :) Enjoy the rest of you're still around and do let us know if/when you're back in Marrakech, there's so much more to see! Until then, safe travels!

A wonderful to see an amazing city

Melissa_B, Apr 2024

Safouane was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and a genuine conversationalist. We very much enjoyed our excursion with him.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you Melissa for your kind words and for making time to post that review, this means the world to us! Great to read that Safouane delivered to the level of your expectations (he just walked into the office and says hi!) Enjoy the rest of your stay if you're still around and let us know if/when you're back in town for more adventures! Until then, safe travels!

Must do tour!

Julie_D, Apr 2024

Literally one of the best guided trips I’ve ever been on! Safouane, our driver, was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly loves his home city. He showed us all the parts of Marrakech you wouldn’t find on your own or with a city guide. We felt very safe with him and loved being able to experience the sights, smells (some not so good!) and sounds of the city. If you do one trip, do this one!! Well worth the money.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you Julie for your very kind words, that is one very positive review! Safouane is a rock star and it's a blessing to have him on the team! Enjoy the rest of your stay if you're still in Morocco and do let us know if/when you're back in town, there's so much more to explore! Until then, safe travels!

Adventure just minutes away from the city

Fiorella_B, Mar 2024

Amazing experience, a must in Marrakech, worth the price. The tour is a fun, adventurous, site seeing experience. The guide was incredible showing us the various sites, explaining the culture and answering questions. The 3 hour tour is a perfect amount of time that allows you to see several sites around Marrakech. You visit sites ( northern medina, gueliz, palm tree national park, etc) that are not usually visited when you complete tours of the medina for example. The tour ends with a visit to the palm tree desert (national park) 10 minutes next to the medina. Such a unique site that is not visited in several other tours. I recommend the tour for families ( older children) and couples, a fun adventurous tour in central Marrakech.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Grazie Fiorella, your review means the world to us and we truly appreciate you taking the time to post a comment online, this really helps us gain exposure! Safe travels and let us know if/when you're back in town, there's so much more to explore!

Fantastic and highly recommended

Nick_W, Mar 2024

Mounir was amazing. We said we would like to see tge mountains and that's exactly what we got! Amazing trip on mountain roads and scenery to die for. Couldn't do much better. May even buy a bike & sidecar when home! 😂

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you nick, you made our day by saying you might buy a sidecar :) Thank you so much for choosing us, Mounir says you were tons of fun! Safe travels and send us a photo once you have a sidecar too! You may end up launching Insiders in the US !

Best way to see Marrakesh!

Anita_B, Mar 2024

Ben drove us on a three hour tour of Marrakech that is not to be missed. Fun to cruise through the busy streets in the sidecar of a motorcycle. Knowledgeable and friendly guides. Felt safe and got to see so much of the city.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you Anita for your kind words, for taking a moment to post a review and for choosing us to experience Marrakech from a different perspective. We hope you'll be back for more! Until then, safe travels.

Just book it! Fantastic!

Claire_C, Mar 2024

What a fantastic tour which we would highly recommend. Abdel was very friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us all around Marrakech and different neighbourhoods where tourists wouldn’t necessarily normally venture. We loved every minute and learnt a lot. A superb experience.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you Claire for your great words and kind support! Abdel is one of our most recent team members and already a star in the making. We hope you'll enjoy the rest of your stay in Marrakech! We also operate in France btw, just saying :)

Excellent trip. Excellent guide.

Tracy_S, Mar 2024

Mahmoud was our insider and he was excellent from start to finish. He was such a pleasant guy and was so helpful. He put us at ease from the start. He told us all about marrakech and the places we visited. The bike was amazing and the sidecar even better. We saw so many sites and areas we wouldn’t have seen. Mahmoud made it a really enjoyable morning. Thanks Mahmoud 😁

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for your very kind words Tracy and thank you for choosing us to explore Marrakech from a different perspective. Mahmoud is a great person and it's a pleasure to read that he delivered to the level of your expectations. Safe travels and do let us know if/when you're back in town, we'll be ready!

geoff_p, Feb 2024

Brilliant trip and great fun. Very knowledgeable driver! Covered an area outside of the city and also some of the Medina. Also inside a Rhiad which was beautiful. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Fabulous side car tour of Marrakesh

Karen_S, Nov 2023

We had the most amazing time with Nabil, he is a very knowledgeable guide who spoke excellent English. He gave us lots of information as we rode around and answered any questions we had. The tour was everything I had hoped for and more. It took us to the Oasis and we weaved through the Medina, stopping for a glass of tea a lovely Rhiad. This is something totally different but well worth it, I definitely recommend it to everyone. Nabil thanks again and we wish you well.

Do not miss out on this experience!

Margaret_H, Nov 2023

Great experience would highly recommend! Our guide was born and raised in Marrakesh and told us local tips about the city. The ride was also very safe. Our guide provided us helmets and the ride was super comfortable and fun

Marrakesh Highlight

Fiona_K, Mar 2023

The bike was fun, funky and comfortable. The guide/driver Nabil made us feel safe on the roads, spoke excellent English and offered some great insights and anecdotes into Marrakesh and Morocco.

Interesting, exciting, fun, highlight!

Sean_C, Feb 2023

Our guide was very personable, told lots of interesting stories and felt us welcome! We saw new and interesting parts of the city that we wouldn’t have known about without this great experience. We were comfortable, felt safe and learned what it’s truly like to live in Marakech. We would highly recommend this tour and this guide! A highlight if our time in the city.

So much fun

Stephen_H, Nov 2022

Had the best time on this trip. If you’re in Marrakesh you must do this trip. So much fun and saw parts of Marrakesh we never would have seen. Safouane was very knowledgeable. We also got to have tea in a lovely Riad. If I could give this trip 10 stars I would

Fun way to see different sides of Marrakech!

CharlesF_M, Nov 2022

My wife and I had a wonderful morning with Safouane driving us around in this comfortable sidecar! He was a very safe driver, courteous driver, and expertly maneuvered the narrow alleys of the medina as well as the open sand areas in the palmeria! We saw various sides of Marrakech and enjoyed our time together; thank you for a great time!

Best fun on three wheels!

Alastair_C, Oct 2022

Hussain took us on a most informative and memorable trip taking us to places that we would not otherwise have seen including the most amazing private collection of restored vintage cars! Truly one of the best things we have done on our trip.

Highlight of our trip.

btobias, Aug 2022

This was the highlight of our Morocco trip. We saw so much we wouldn’t have otherwise. Highly recommend.

A wonderful way to make unforgettable memories!

Jessica_B, May 2022

A fun and exhilarating experience and yet, at the same time, we felt completely safe and relaxed. Mounir, our guide, was an exceptional rider, thoughtful and great company. We learnt so much and saw so many hidden away places, making wonderful memories and stories to tell our friends. Would highly recommend!

Best way to see Marrakech!

Kimberly_P, Jun 2019

This was a fantastic way to see Marrakech. The guide, Andrew, was exceptionally knowledgeable and very personable. He arrived to our hotel on time and the service was great. We rode all around Marrakech, including riding though the Palmerie. We felt completely safe and well taken care of. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting this city!
