Description
100% Tailor-made | Private | Off the beaten path | All inclusive
A vivid flea market, secret gardens behind closed doors, old art deco buildings or khettaras in the palm grove are just a few of the many hidden treasures we will introduce you to on this unusual open-air ride.
From the stunning art deco buildings, the once lively open-air cinema, the very first hotel built in 1918 or the old clock shop, we take you on an enchanting time-travel in the former French district known as 'Guéliz'.
Discover the heart of the Medina while driving through remote neighbourhoods where daily life seems to have stopped centuries ago. Whether the Kasbah or the Mellah districts or the flea market in Bad El Khemiss, you will discover a rich and certainly unknown Marrakech.
Once a very fertile oasis, the palmgrove, only known nowadays for its luxurious villas, used to give birth to the entire Tensift region more than a thousand years ago thanks to its ingenious underground irrigation systems.

I had an amazing experience with Marrakech Insiders, especially thanks to our guide, Mouad. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. He showed us a different side of Marrakech and shared interesting stories and local insights along the way. The sidecar ride was a fun and unique way to explore the city, and Mouad made sure everything went smoothly.
I would definitely recommend Marrakech Insiders to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Marrakech. Thank you, Mouad, for a fantastic experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The best driver in Marrakech!
I highly recommend going with the best driver: Ibtissam (Tissa)! She explains the secrets of Marrakech in the best way possible. An expert and very safe driver.

Discovering the real Marrakech on a motorbike side car
We had such a great time with Eddy from Insiders! We did a private sidecar tour around Marrakech, and it ended up being one of the most fun and interesting ways to discover the city.
What we loved most was that Eddy took us away from the typical tourist spots and showed us the Marrakech where locals actually live. We stopped at a local market where people from Marrakech actually shop, drove through parts of the Medina where we barely saw another tourist, and visited a small residential street that has been preserved as it was in the old days. We even made a quick pit stop because I really wanted to have a nous nous!
Along the way, Eddy shared so many interesting little stories about the city and what Marrakech was like during the French period. He also told us about the church located right next to a mosque, which we found fascinating and would probably never have noticed on our own. We drove through Gueliz and all the way out to the Palmeraie, so we really got to see the different faces of Marrakech.
But what really made the tour special was Eddy himself. He was super friendly, relaxed, always smiling and so easy to talk to. It never felt like we were following a tour guide. It felt more like we had a friend in Marrakech taking us around and showing us his city.
Such a fun, authentic and different experience. We loved it and would definitely recommend touring Marrakech with Eddy!

Great experience
Magnificent road trip with
a great driver, Agnes was very attentive to our expectations, a very immersive visit to the local market and popular neighborhoods, a water and coffee break allowed us to chat and learn about the life of the Marrakchis and the superb city of Marrakech and its less touristy areas. We highly recommend this superb experience.
Thanks again Agnès 😉

A learning and fun experience
We loved this excursion. It really engaged us with the heart and soul of Moroccan culture. We were met by a beautiful woman at reception who introduced us to Nabil, our guide/driver for the trip.
They have quite a collection of motorcycles with sidecars. And off we went, roaring through the city with occasional stops to explain the area’s long history. Though narrow streets and a stop at a riad to show and explain about the ancient city. We got to know Nabil and how his story fits into the local culture. It is like a friend taking you out and showing you where they are from. It was all very interesting and we felt more connected to Morocco because of this fun little adventure. He even dropped us back to our hotel afterwards. We had a very memorable afternoon. Thank you to Nabil and all at Marrakech Insiders.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your beautiful message!
We are delighted to read that your ride with Nabil helped you feel closer to the heart and soul of Moroccan culture. This is exactly what we love creating: not just sightseeing, but the feeling of being taken around by a friend sharing where he comes from.
It was a real pleasure to welcome you, and Nabil and the whole Marrakech Insiders team will be very touched by your words!

Fun and friendship
Ibtissam was incredible, knowledgeable, and fun! We felt like we met the city, and made a friend. I’d love to return and would do the tour again just to see Ibti, and she’s welcome to stay with me in California when she visits!!

Great tour guides and something v different
It is great fun with fab guides and an opportunity to see lots of Marrakesh which you might not otherwise see! Sitting on the back for three hours might be a bit tiring but there are lots of stops and we swapped round which worked well.
Operator response

We are delighted to read that you had such great fun with our insiders, and that the ride helped you discover parts of Marrakech you might not have found otherwise. Swapping seats is definitely part of the adventure — and a good excuse for a few extra stops along the way!

Motorcycles, Memories & Marrakesh Magic
One of the highlights of our Morocco trip was our adventure with Marrakesh Insiders. It gave us the chance to experience parts of Marrakesh we never would have discovered on our own — far beyond the bustling old town.
A huge thank you to Ibtissam, our incredible guide and driver, whose passion, energy, and love for motorcycles made the day unforgettable. We loved hearing about her own bike, “Bumble Bee,” and exploring the newer areas and hidden corners of the city through her eyes. She was knowledgeable, fun, and truly inspiring.
This experience gave us a completely different perspective of Marrakesh, and we highly recommend it to anyone wanting to see the authentic side of the city.

Do this! It was fun!
Amine was an experienced and wonderful driver as we explored the streets and alleyways of exciting Marrakech--a city to stimulate all of one's senses! We learned about the ancient system of bringing water from the mountains to the date palm oasis. From the Medina to the neighborhoods beyond, we were able to get a good overview of the city.
