Our bike trip from Marrakech to Atlas Mountains through the Berber villages was a total success due to the organisation and guidance of Mountain Bike Morocco. The guide and cook were truly professionals of the highest standard. I would recommend this Biking company to any group or individual that is planning to trek, cycling or mountain bike in Morocco.
