Amazing! Beautiful trails, quality organisation, everything i expected and more!
Conquring the uphills! Not many of them but they definatley make the downs more worthwhile!
Couldn't of been better. We had Liz who is the most patient person i've met. Incredible knowledge of the tour and each individual trail. A great leader.
Lip Balm and anti chaffing cream! Thank me later!
A fantastic break with lots of opportunities to see the Morocco countryside. The mountain biking was always fun, sometimes technical and while mostly downhill it was still a good test of fitness.
Towards the end of the trip we were riding back to the hotel as the sun was setting. The big red sky, rocky terrain and the sun setting over the moutnains was just awesome.
The group leader worked hard to keep us all together, both during the days out cycling and in the evenings. An accomplished mountain biker, guide, first aider and all round fixer. Top job.
If you take your own bike, you might need some spares. There aren't many bike shops out in the Morocco countryside. Oh, and tyres. There are lots of sharp rocks so if you're going tubeless, get some puncture resistant tyres. If you're a regular mountain biker you may be waiting around a lot, since the group always rides together. One thing the guide said that helped me was "it's a holiday, not a training camp". That attitude really helped me to enjoy the riding. When you're stopped, it's a time to relax and enjoy the sunshine rather time waiting to get riding again.
Wow, a great trip. For the end of December, we were lucky as the weather was fantastic for us. The scenery was great and the organisation of the trip was very professionally done. I’m more of a casual road rider than hard core Mountain Biker, but found the trip manageable – but definitely ‘challenging’ as there were a few tough days involved. Our group turned out to be great and the guide superb. I would definitely recommend it.
There were far too many, each day seemed to provide different challenges and different scenery.The best part for me was the final swim in the Atlantic at the end of the trip having achieved the daily challenges throughout the week.
The Group leader, Richard, was brilliant. He was experienced in the trip so knew it well. He had a lot of organisation to do with regards to the bikes, transport, accomdation and meals but it was all done so professionally that the whole week ran seemlessly smoothly. He had a good sense of humour that helped gel the group together and he was aspirational (by showing us how to do it) and inspirational (by encouraging us giving us belief in our abilities) with a kind caring side for those that were struggling for one reason or another (e.g. too many punctures).He was also very confident in being able to fix most bike issues that we came across.For me, he was an essential ingredient of the trip that made it a great trip.
The days are tough as are the tracks in many cases. Make sure you take some well padded gloves as my hands and forearms were aching on the last day.

This trip was everything I was hoping it would be, varied riding surfaces, a number of challenging ascents as well as some long (and in places) technical descents, fantastic mountain scenery and great weather. The hire bikes took a real battering but stood up to the conditions well. The Tour Leader and support Team were always available to help out with any punctures and bike repairs that were needed, and always with a smile on their faces.
I really enjoyed the climbs on the bike, and also the short technical parts of the riding (as this was something I had not done much of before). However, my favourite riding was on the high pistes around Tafroute, on the first few days of the week, as we were blessed with incredible views of the red mountains with stunning blue skies and warm sunshine.
Liz was great. She managed to keep a large group of cyclists in order and showed interest in everyone in the party so people didn't feel left out. She was very supportive to all riders and their various abilities and encouraged everyone to enjoy the riding, without putting pressure on to speed up or 'take the van'. In what is undoubtably a stressful situation at times for a leader, Liz always managed to keep her cool and got the group through the days with a minimum of fuss.
I would certainly agree that everyone needs some off road biking experience, as some of the sections are quite technical and rocky in places. The bikes that are provided are very good and do take some battering, so I would not particularly recommend taking your own bike from home. I was glad to have taken my own saddle though!!
Totally amazing trip had one of the best weeks ever!!! When the going gets tough the tough get going and some of it was tough & challenging but completely worth it. 6 great days of cycling with lots of different terrains both body and bike took a pounding. But the amazing scenery and descents completely take your mind off all of that as long as you don’t forget to look around you whilst concentrating.
Flying down the long descents and hairpin bends....ace!! Building up my strength on the climbs which I think I did by the end of the week. Spending time with a great bunch of people having a laugh and doing something I love. Getting to see the real Morocco cycling through the berber villages and palmeries.
The leaders were fantastic, we had 2 guides Liz and Rich and 1 local guide Iddiah (hope thats spelt correctly) All 3 of them looked after us totally and made sure we were safe at all times. Liz’s knowledge of the trails was exceptional giving us information of what to expect on each day especially the undulations we were to undertake :) They made sure all the bikes were in good working order which was no mean feat with all the punctures etc.. Although I was always last in the climbs someone was always behind me to make sure everyone was safe. Thanks to Rich for his company on the big climbs and words of encouragement to help me make it to the top and also to my fellow cyclists for the lovely welcome party for when I reached the top, no balloons or banners but a big smile on very happy faces and a round of applause and also a nice sugary drink and snack to boost my energy for the next stage. Thanks to the drivers Moustach, Mohammed & Ali for making our lunches and driving us safely around the mountains.
Make sure you’ve had some off road experience and are pretty reasonably fit to complete the climbs as well as enjoying the descents. There were some great technical challenges for the most experienced riders but also some easier bits for the others.
Loved it. Six pretty full on days’ cycling over varying terrrain with enough challenges to test the most experienced riders and occasional alternatives for those who wanted to take it slightly more easily. Stunning scenery: generally arid and mostly scrubby vegetation with scattered pockets of lush green palmeries, but the mountains have an austere beauty of their own.
There were lots, including:- some flying descents on max adrenaline;- reaching the top of the longest climb in a respectable state;- doing something I really enjoy with a thoroughly nice group of likeminded people; - playing drums with a group of Morrocans;- a cool beer on the hotel terrace in Immouzzer watching the sun set over endless folds of mountains; - the final descent to the sea and a refreshing dip in it.
We had 2 leaders on this trip: Liz and Richie. Both excellent. They worked very hard (and successfully) to keep the bikes running smoothly during the week - no easy task as the bikes take a fearful battering. They dispensed a number of tips on technique, gave us a good idea of what to expect each day, pointed out cultural and topographical features of interest and were concerned for safety without wrapping us in cotton wool. I would be happy to go on another trip with either of them.
As a number of previous reviewers have pointed out, you have to go up before hurtling down: try and do some hill climb training before you go (on and off tarmac). Also if you're not a regular off road rider, try and ride some rocky trails (e.g. Coed y Brenin in Wales) before you go as this will probably help to get the most out of trip right from the start. (Having said which, those in our group with little or no mountain bike experience did brilliantly.) I am a veggie and, while this was no gourmet extravganza, I survived perfectly adequately.
An adrenaline filled, Perineum punishing, thigh stretching hootnanny of a trip. My first mountain biking trip, lived up to expectations in terms of the trade off between excitement and exertion. Would certainly consider scaring myself again with another downhill mountain biking trip. As ever the trip was well organised and the routes carefully considered to get the most out of each day.
There were a couple of downhill rides on the tarmac which for someone with my pretty low technical ability were just superb in terms of speed and the views. But I think like many others the best part of the ride for me is the last 10K on the last day down to the Beach. From this point the Atlantic glistens and dances off your sunglasses, the road runs smooth, fast and sinuously down hill at a pace hugging the hill side before levelling out onto the coast road and then onto the beach. A quick pause for end of trip photographs with friends then a sprint into the ocean. Simply a great way to end a trip.
Liz Proctor - this trip takes me into double figures of experience with Exodus and so I feel I'm in a good position to say Liz was one of the finest guides I have come across so far. Liz understands keenly the fact that it is an adventure holiday and their is some risk involved, but never crossed the line into smothering you with health and safety vernacular, she explained how it was each day, what to look out for and what to do if got into trouble - then it was over to you. She was always there should you need help but never pushing it in your face. This plus her general aura of amiability, bonhomie and excellent knowledge/experience made her an excellent guide. She does however go like a greased whippet on the pistes so I wouldn't try racing her too much!
I undertrained for this trip, I neglected any climbing training, there are a number of ascents (fear not these are more than counteracted by the number of descents) so I would prepare for the uphills a little more before arriving. Also some of the descents can be a little technical and hair raising, a little practice of the basics (more than I had) would I feel be invaluable before arriving.
This trip was all about the biking. Fantastic scenary, great weather, efficienct and knowledgeable guide and support crew. Routes were the right mix of challenge, fun and length.
I loved riding through the small berber villages and Christmas day with the carpet makers in Tiznit.
Liz was really hard working and really put the effort in to make sure our bikes were able to cope with the terrain. She had knowledge of the area and the routes and encouraged people when necessary. She was also very accommodating for different levels of experience and confidence.
Go on this trip pretty fit to get the most out of it. It really is all about the biking, not so much the culture. However our guide Liz had good knowledge and of course the local support crew.
Physically hard but very interesting trip.
The long descent to the coast on the last day and a swim in the sea.
OUr leader took great care of us and worked hard to make it a good trip
