One of Marrakech's most unusual experiences: a private three-hour ride on the saddle or in the sidecar of a vintage motorbike, driven by a local 'insider' who knows the city's hidden corners.

The route is tailored to your interests and goes off the beaten track into areas tour buses cannot reach, with stories about local traditions along the way. Suitable for all ages.

Highlights

  • A ride for all ages
  • The city from a new angle aboard a vintage sidecar
  • Local drivers who know Marrakech's hidden treasures
  • A tailor-made route full of stories
