Africa Bicycle Tour Reviews
Genuine reviews from travelers on Bicycle Africa tours
Anonymous | Traveled in May
As per previous reviews there is a lot of time spent travelling in the minibus so be prepared for this. This is necessary as some of the terrain is unsuitable for cycling. A g ood mix of cycling in the mountains and more flat terrain. Experiencing rural Morocco and people going about their every day lives was lovely. Have an overnight bag for the desert as main luggage stays put. Overall, a great holiday and highly recommended

Leader was good . We didn't get info about the weather cycling down Atlas mountains in the mist, we could have done with extra layers. E- bikes can slow progress down up hills for other non e- bike cyclists. Leaders need to be aware of this. Leader good on safety. Food was reasonable. Accommodation good. Lot of time in mini bus but it enabled us to see a lot of the country. The drivers etc were really accommodating & attentive. Comparable with Exodus cycling holidays!

A chance to see the real Morocco! Good cycling but a lot of time spent on the minibus. However, this is necessary to see the different aspects that Morocco has to offer. Highlights were: * Nomad Camp (Chebbi Dunes) - the sunset & sunrise are spectacular! delicious vegetable tagline followed by a great night’s sleep in a very comfy bed. *Kasbah Du Dades - excellent food , great music and dancing. *The ride down into the foothills of the Atlas Mountains from the high pass - starting in mist and finishing in sunshine, the views are spectacular!

The holiday was great, our guides led by Hicham were caring, thoughtful and well organised, making sure we had everything we needed. Most of the time the mini buses were driving along nearby so most of our things could be left on the bus (non cycling clothes for the day etc) so it is useful to bring a small bag to have on the bike as well as a backpack to leave on the bus/use as your overnight bag for the camping in Sahara. Small bags were available to borrow for the bikes but some people found the zips on them didn’t work, so I’d recommend bringing your own if you can. The bikes were great, hard tail mountain bikes that suited the slightly rough roads and tracks we were cycling on. The cycling was often flat or downhill, a few people in the group were nervous about the day with a lot of ascent but everyone completed it. There is a lot of time in the mini buses (2-3 hours a day) but otherwise you wouldn’t see as much of the country. Hicham would organise a coffee stop most times we had a long journey and got to know our orders by the end of the trip! The desert is a real highlight (and why you travel so much each day!) the “camping” is more like glamping with a full double bed each and a flushing toilet and we even had hot showers. The food was good throughout, the hotels were clean and I liked that they all felt independently run. Overall, a very good cycling trip to a country I’d never been to before!
