A great morning out! - Really enjoyed this. It's always hard to gauge route difficulty, but if you've done any sort of mountain biking you shouldn't have any problem with this. Plus, if you've not, just take it easy or there's no shame in pushing (down or uphill!). Amazing scenery and Jose and crew are fantastic- friendly and helpful. Could've done with another trip but time constraints said no to us booking one more. A great way to get out and about and definitely the best way to visit these sites.

Fantastic Experience!!! - No words can describe how amazing this tour was. JOSE is the best tour guide we ever met!!! From the first minute you talk to Jose you feel that you are in good hands, he is very accommodating, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Incas culture, but not only, talk to him about anything really, you will be amazed how much he knows , he is one of the people who changes the world for a better place! He knows how and he will share it with you 😊 Biking experience was phenomenal, this was an intermediate level biking as Jose explained, but we were mountain biking for the first time and it was totally doable. On some parts of the road you can walk the bike if you don’t feel comfortable riding, but for the most part it was comfortable ride with amazing sceneries! Moray and Salt mines were both great . Again thanks to Jose, I think he can make any place super interesting. Overall it was 10 star experience 🙃, everything was just great, communication, transportation, the price and of course the tour guide!!! Thank you for making our day unforgettable ! P. S. first time writing review in my life. Again this is how thankful I am to Jose, I know it’s important for him, but I must notice he never asked for it.

Awesome day biking in the mountains! - We had a blast on this tour! Jose Manuel is one of the best humans i’ve ever met! Very knowledgeable and passionate about his heritage. His English is fantastic and created a very fun day for us. We plan to return again next year and do a different tour with him. Thanks again, Brother!

So much fun-! Very interesting and informative - I booked the Abra Malaga tour but we did the Maras and Moray tour instead. My husband and I are active but this was a humbling experience- it was out of our comfort zones in a good way! Our guide Jose was so kind and patient with us novice mountain bikers! But above and beyond that, he was so passionate about explaining the sites and the history. He has a true love and respect for the history and the land. I really enjoyed this part of the tour. It’s such an affordable option and you get so much out of it. We really enjoyed our day with Jose. One of the best of our trip. Thank you to Jose and our driver!

fun time - Jose is very knowledge about the places we visited and very very patient in guiding me during the bike tour. I was not very experienced on mountain bikes and I hiked the bike a lot, but Jose waited and helped me carried the bikes when the trail became too much for me, and I really really appreciate his patience and thoughtfulness. With his help, I managed to bike my way to the salt mines and enjoyed great view of the sacred valley. Really appreciate it.

Great way to see Moray and the Salt Mines! - We did the bike tour to Moray and Salt Mines from Ollantaytambo and had a great time! If you want a little adventure and prefer small groups to large impersonal tours, then this is for you. I definitely recommend that you should be very comfortable riding a bike for this, some experience with off-road riding will make this even more enjoyable. We barely saw anyone else on the trails and they are beautiful, mostly downhill trails. All parts of the tour were exactly as described on the website and this is a great value for the money. Highly recommended!
