Reviews

An amazing way to experience the colors, sights, people and landscape of Morocco!

Morocco exceeded our expectations in how friendly it was to tourist and cyclists in particular. I wouldn't hesitate to return and do more cycling and soak in more of its lovely culture, people, and landscape.

Serendipitous grouping of people. It was a pure treasure getting to meet our new friends from Milwaukee, USA, Saipan, USA territory, and merry old England. The tour was set up perfectly with local tours, food, and sleeping accommodations. Everyone with SpiceRoads was delightful especially our bike guide, driver and support vehicle staff. We miss them all!!!
