“Our guides T and Tony were amazing. They made sure to go as slow as the group needed to and provided instructions to help us navigate the trail. The hike and the mountain biking were exhilarating with lunch at the top and bottom of the mountain. I would rate this tour as pretty intense if you haven’t mountain biked before but our guides did a great job helping us learn”
