Customer reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“An unforgettable Moroccan experience”
I had a great trip with Joao and another cyclist. The routes were well chosen and generally off the beaten track. Joao knows Morocco very well, and his knowledge and experience greatly enhanced the trip. Excellent accommodations and local food. The trip was very well planned and organized. - Steve Tuggle

"Moroccan magic"
The entire trip was exceptional. We were never pressured to go faster or ease off the throttle. We ate Twisties for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Customized days for on-road or off-road adventure. If you have a choice, always choose adventure, and if Joao says the trout is good, order the trout . - Daniel
