Agadir-Erfoud-Agadir: 1350km

Starting from Agadir you have one week of time for testing the TWIKE until coming back to our base Agadir, full of new impressions and discoveries. On the way to our goal, the date festival of Erfoud, you will get to know several interesting cities like Taroudant, Talouine, Ouarzazate and Erfoud.

You can be your own pilot or enjoy the testing tour as a co-pilot. Since we are on the road for one week we prefer that you will go on a short trip with us before to make sure that this is the thing that you’d really like to do:-).
