Getting to the base and starting out
Our base sits at Km 16 route d'Amizmiz, 25 km from the Marrakech medina — about 35 minutes by car. Three ways to get there: by taxi (negotiate the fare on arrival), via inDrive or Uber from the medina, or via a transfer arranged by our partners if your booking allows. We send you the Google Maps pin and the guide's WhatsApp once your booking is confirmed. On site, allow 30 minutes for paperwork and briefing before the actual departure. Depending on the duration you choose (1 h, 2 h, half-day or full day), the route and break vary — we settle the detail at booking.

How long is the pickup?
About 35 min from central Marrakech. We confirm the pickup time the day before.
Riad in the medina, hard to access?
No problem — we give you a meeting point at the nearest accessible road (medina gate). 5 min walk max.
From the airport?
Possible but not ideal — better to drop bags at your riad first. If you really need direct, we book a larger vehicle.
