De Marrakech: excursão diurna de bicicleta elétrica e montanhas do Atlas

26 Feb 2024. Booked the €95 pp trip vice the €55 pp trip to get the electric bike. Upon arrival at Imlil, were told no electric bikes available. After a 1.5 hr drive from Marrakech, took the non-electric bikes offered and just accepted the hill climbs were going to be slower. A requested refund for 1/2 the difference in price has yet to be approved by GetYourGuide. The non-electric bikes were of good quality and condition: Twitter brand name, 1x12, full suspension with quick lock out, hydraulic disc brake, drop post. The ride is 35km, 750m vertical and 1374m descent. The ride takes you over a saddle to run down a different valley. The highest point is 2211m. The 1st climb required several rest stops with 11% average grade for 5km (I could use more exercise). Most of the ride broken asphalt with some dirt road/trail. The views are AMAZING! Wear cycling chamois and gloves. Bring Durham coins for extra teas. The guide was very nice and attentive, but very limited English.

Rédouane was very very amazing. He à just to our pace and you can see he his really passionate about his country and hometown. It’s very nice to see the real life on the village and Rédouane know everyone. Any activity lead by him, I will go blindly because I know it will worth it.

We spent an amazing day with Radouane exploring the beautiful mountains and villages he grew up in. The views are spectacular and the long downhill segments are the reward for the climb at the start. Highly recommend this as a way to experience Berber culture and the Atlas mountains
