Great trip and a great guide/driver. Managed to see the city from a completely different perspective! For those who might be scared - the ride is relatively slow and the driver knows what he's doing, with great navigation around the cities 'organised chaos'

It was an amazing time with my family, including kids of 8 and 10. The bikes and side car were so fine and was fantastic seeing parts of Marrakech outside the medina. What made it extra special though was Tisa and Elmady who were kind, friendly and informative. So great with kids, This was the best thing we did in Marrakech and I would highly recommend it.

Best experience in Marrakech

Jonathan_G, Apr 2026

Response from Host, Apr 2026

What a lovely review, thank you very much Jonathan! Rides with kids are the best: parents get some time off and kids get their kicks out of the ride. Safe travels and send them back for internships in 10 years time!

This was a fantastic...

Kirsten_L, Apr 2026

This was a fantastic experience. Abdel was such a great guide and we had so much fun seeing parts of Marrakech that we would t have seen otherwise. I’ve already recommended this to friends.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Oh Kristen, you're too kind, thank you so much! Abdel is a great insider and we love reading that he delivered to the level of your expectations. Safe travels and come back to see us soon! :)

Response from Host, Apr 2026

YES! "see the city from a completely different perspective" is exactly what we try to do so you made our day by using those words! We hope you'll be back in Marrakech and have us in mind for more adventures from a different perspective :)

Great Experience

Philip_R, Mar 2026

Great experience, Hiba are driver was very knowledgeable, took us to areas we would never have seen. Would highly recommend this experience.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Philip for trusting us with your time and money and for taking a moment to post a review, this really means the world to us! Safe travels and Hiba says hi! :)

Great way to see the city

Sofia_H, Feb 2026

Warm and welcoming drivers and incredible bikes. Wonderful way to see the city, there’s no way we would have seen what we did on any other tour. Such a unique way to travel and experience a totally different type of tour. We all loved it, from 36-70 years old.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Sofia for your kind words and for choosing us for this family trip! We hope you'll be back for more :)

Loved it! Super fun...

Rebecca_L, Jan 2026

Loved it! Super fun experience riding the motorcycles and seeing other parts of Marrakech. The entire family loved it, including my kids and the grandparents! Definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Awww thank you Rebecca, you've just made our day! Please do tell your kids that we hire interns from time to time so they should keep us in mind when the time is right :) Safe travels and happy 2026!

A memorable tour with a difference!

Jon_D, Oct 2025

We had a brilliant morning with our guide Hamza. We went to parts of Marrakesh that you wouldn’t normally see. He was very informative and really made it a special adventure. Just how he got through some of the streets in the medina is a mystery! Worth every penny!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! We're thrilled you enjoyed exploring Marrakech with Hamza —your review made his day! His mix of knowledge, humor, and fearless driving through the medina’s maze truly make for a one-of-a-kind adventure! We love showing guests the hidden side of the city — those little corners that most visitors never see. So glad it felt special for you too. You’re always welcome back for another ride off the beaten path

Beyond the Medina: A Ride to Remember

Neil_H, Oct 2025

My partner and I recently joined the private sidecar tour in Marrakech, and it turned out to be the most remarkable part of our entire trip. If you're eager to experience a different side of the city, especially beyond the medina’s bustling maze, this tour offers a refreshing and adventurous perspective. What made it truly special was our guide, Benjamin. From the first moment, he was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about sharing the city he loves. More than just a skilled rider, Benjamin brought stories, insights, and a personal touch that made every stop meaningful. He introduced us to places and viewpoints we never would have stumbled upon ourselves. We’re incredibly thankful to Benjamin for turning a simple ride into a rich and memorable journey through the soul of Marrakech.

Great fun activity

Jonathan_W, Aug 2025

This really is a must do experience . Very interesting seeing off the beaten track Marrakech . Worth the money

Response from Host, Aug 2025

A short, yet efficient review, thank you very much Jonathan :)

Flying through Marrakech

Mariza_C, Aug 2025

Fantastic. My son, in a weelchair, liked a lot. He travel in Marrakech in a way he couldn’t do it by himself.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you so much for trusting us with your time in Marrakech, we're delighted to read that your son had fun too and hope you guys will be back for more :) Until then, safe travels!

Marrakesh Magic on 3 wheels

Veronica_O, Aug 2025

Fantastic way to experience the many layers of magical Marrakesh - would highly recommend this to anyone visiting and can’t thank Hussein our tour guide enough for his detailed and charming interaction.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

molly_f, Jun 2025

Very well done. Classy business. Pricey, but it’s an excellent experience. We had so much fun!! All three of our drivers were safe, friendly and fun.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

An amazing activity. Nabil was an excellent guide, full of fun stories and historical facts. Can't recommend it enough. A great way to see Marrakech. Get it booked...

Response from Host, May 2025

Merci Bryan, that is one short, yet efficient, review! Safe travels and let us know if/when you're back in town, there's so much more to explore :)

Fantastic way to see Marrakesh

jasonbutler4, May 2025

This is a fantastic and unique way to see another side of Marrakech. Our Rider Mahmoud was great, full of knowledge about everything Marrakech from the history to architecture. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re visiting Marrakesh I’d definitely say to put this tour on your to do list. Highly recommended, 5 stars.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you Jason for your kind words and for trusting us with your time while in marrakech! Mahmoud says you guys were great fun, so thank you for making his job easy!

The most amazing way to...

Paul_S, May 2025

The most amazing way to see the old city, and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The side car tour should be 10 stars..

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you Paul, you review is short and efficient and we'll take the 10 stars compliment with pleasure. Safe travels :)

Fab tour! Fun and exciting

Elizabeth_B, Apr 2025

Travelling with my husband and our friends - so booked two bikes. Our driver was Abdul. We saw parts of Marrakesh (new town, Medina and Palmeraie) that we’d never have seen otherwise in or 4 day trip - in a fun and exciting way - and from a totally different perspective. We had photo stops and stretch our legs stops and we all loved it. Will be recommending to everyone we know.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you Elizabeth for your very kind words, it's a true pleasure to read that Abdul delivered to the level of your expectations! Tell people to contact us on your behalf so we make sure they get the VIP treatment! Until then, safe travels :)

Ride of a Lifetime

Aya_M, Mar 2025

We are so grateful we got to experience Marrakesh in such a unique way with this side car tour! Amin was a wonderful guide and even stopped to get some bananas for my 6 year old son when he got hungry. I can’t recommend this tour enough, there is no better way to see Marrakesh!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you Aya for your kind words, most of us have children too and we know that traveling with them requires some planing so we're glad to read that we contributed to making Marrakech a worthy trip. Safe travels and look us up when you're back in town (or in france where we also operate)

Really fun way to experience all that Marrakech has to offer in a short time

Sarah_K, Feb 2025

I was very nervous about taking a trip on a motorbike, and my friend was equally fearful, but we had read so many good reviews we took the plunge I'm so happy we did! We had the best experience ever. Our driver, Benjamin, was brilliant, he understood our nervousness and reassured us that the aim was for us to enjoy our trip, have time to see the views and look around rather than being transported at speed We got to see so many places we wouldn't have had time to see on foot, we went all round the medina, seeing the different areas, some more touristic, some still original and following traditional methods of manufacture Each tour is unique so can be tailored to see whatever you're interested in, or haven't seen. They have a longer 3 hour ride, where you can spend time enjoying street food, or visiting places with the bike being the mode of transport to get you there. They are super helpful and accomodating, even dropping us off at the Marjorelle gardens after our tour. I'd highly recommend giving this a try, it's a unique experience, and I think we mentioned it to everyone we met while we were in Marrakech!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you Sarah for your very nice review, motorbikes can be a little scary and this is why we chose sidecars instead as they are more stable and much slower than two wheelers. Bravo for overcoming your fears and thank you for your kind words once again!

Great and unique experience

Amanda_C, Jan 2025

We were very kindly looked after by our guides and had a great time exploring the parts of the city that we would not have found ourselves.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your very kind words, I am the business owner and would love to have a talk with you to understand what was missing to get a 5 stars review if you have a minute? You can reach me on thomas@insidersexperience.com Many thanks in advance and happy 2025! Thomas

Fun and informative

Sheryl_S, Oct 2024

My husband and I each had our own guide and sidecar. We enjoyed our rides with Mounir and Safoun. They shared great info and made the tour fun!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you Sheryl for your kind words! You were in good company as both Mounir and Safouane are part of what we call "the three musketeers" which are our top insiders. Enjoy the rest of your stay if you're still around and safe travels!

Amazing!!

Cheryl_D, Oct 2024

This was fantastic! Felix our guide was whitty, fun and knowledgable. We saw and learned so much we would have missed just walking around.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you Cheryl for your kind words, Felix is a cofounder of the company and it's a pleasure to read that he delivered to the level of your expectations ;) Safe travels and let us know when/if you're back in morocco, there's so much more to explore!

The best way to see the city, by far!!!

Cath_G, Jan 2024

Loved every minute of this tour, became part of the chaos that is Marrakech city traffic, and learnt loads about the city and its customs.

Side Car Tour

Thomas_M, Jan 2024

This was our favorite thing we did in Morocco! My son loved it (so did I)... I highly recommend this tour

Worth every penny!

Nicole_V, Apr 2023

This was the highlight of our trip in Marrakech! Our three drivers were fantastic and made the experience so much fun. Our 11 and 13 year old kids can’t stop raving about it. Highly recommend.

A great way to see Marrakech

Ann_C, Feb 2023

I was a bit anxious and expected not to enjoy this - but it was the highlight of our holiday. We saw a lot of Marrakech that we would, otherwise, have missed, we learned a lot and it was very enjoyable as an experience. I would definitely recommend it.

Incredible experience!

Caroline_G, Feb 2026

This 1:30 outing was amazing. We were with Agnes and Vincent as pilots. Their knowledge of the place, the various anecdotes etc... everything delighted us!

Tanja_v, Apr 2025

Een zeer persoonlijke ervaring met Nabil. Prachtige verhalen over de Marokkaanse cultuur. Niet langs toeristische attracties. Echt een pareltje. Ik zou het een goed bewaart geheim willen noemen. Nabil is een top gids. Een aanraders je bezoek aan Marrakech mee te starten. Zijn geld meer dan waard.
