Here’s an overview of your tour

At Withlocals, where we're passionate about making a positive impact in the destinations we operate. But guess what? Travelers like you are also eager to create positive impacts! That's why we've carefully curated a remarkable experience that allows you to give back even more during your stay in Marrakech. Introducing our incredible cycling adventure – the perfect way to make a difference.

With this unique experience, you'll discover Marrakech from a whole new perspective. Our partnership with a Pikala, a local NGO, means that you'll not only explore the city, but also gain valuable insight into Moroccan daily life and immerse yourself in the authentic Moroccan culture.

Picture yourself cycling through the charming neighborhoods of Marrakech, including the historic city center known as the 'Medina' and the vibrant new town called 'Gueliz.' Along the way, we'll pass by some of the city's iconic landmarks such as the magnificent Koutoubia, the impressive Kasbah, and the serene Agdal gardens. However, what truly sets this experience apart is our commitment to taking you off the beaten path and showing you parts of the city that you might not discover on your own.

Imagine visiting a traditional public bakery, indulging in the rejuvenating Hammam bathhouse, exploring the bustling second-hand market, and paying a visit to Zaouia de Sidi Bel Abbès, one of the seven Saints of Marrakech. But here's the real highlight: your tour host is one of the talented youths trained by Pikala. By booking this experience, you're not only empowering them but also supporting Pikala's valuable work. Your host, an expert in their own right, will share personal stories about growing up in Morocco, the significance of family, and the delicate balance between religion and modernization.

This tour is more than just a sightseeing adventure – it's a deep dive into Moroccan life, culture, and traditions. It's an opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life, fostering meaningful connections and leaving a lasting impact. So why not make your trip truly meaningful by joining your host for this unforgettable experience?

Have any special requests or preferences? Not a problem! Our experienced hosts are experts at tailoring the tour to accommodate your wishes. After all, we believe that your journey should be as unique as you are.
