“Location was easy to find. Little disorganized on arrival but possibly because they had just moved? Bikes were awesome and our guide took us to very interesting place with great explanations. With just 3 of us in the group we were very lucky and kept up a great pace a were able to go a little further. Thought it was a little strange that our guide played music (quite loudly) while riding. It would have been nicer to just hear nature.”

“The bikes were top quality. The two guides, Tara and Dylan, did an excellent job. Tara was very knowledgeable. It was a very windy day and returning from the ride into the wind was quite difficult.
