Paul 10 2019Booking process and communication was great even though was booking with less than 24h. Taxi was at pick up spot on time and took me up into Toubkal. When I arrived unfortunately no one was around and the bike shop was closed...

Jana 09 2021We have just returned from 7 nights in Morocco and the bike tour was our highlight. We stayed in a hotel outside of Marrakech and got a taxi to the meet point, the taxi driver had little English and my French was even more basic. He called the number I had and Asma gave him what he wanted so a good start there.
