A unique trip - Thanks to Marko and his team for an exceptional tour on the Quad Bike. It was my first time on a Quad Bike and did not feel like one. Marko and Paul were my guide and they took a great care of the group. They were very attentive and patient. They let us try our hands on the Quad Bike before we actually started the tour. The bike and the kits provided were well maintained and clean. Highly recommended.

Great Staff and unforgettable trip expérience - Even though i booked this trip even before i reached Peru they went above and beyond to make sure that i was taken care well and the trip was organised well. They asked me the size for my hemet and other gears which were ready when i got there. They were very attentive to all my queries. Marko is an awesome guide and was very patient and kind throughout the trip and was very informative too.

The best of the best - Had an amazing service with Marko as our tour guide to Maras and Moray on Quad Bike. Everything was laid out well and was organised exceptionally. We had sometime to get our hands on the bikes before we actually started the tour. It took us from a remote village to Maras and Moray the sites were fantastic and we had a lot to see and know about the Incan civilization and how if positively affected the present generation.

The best Experience - I haven´t been on a Quad bike before and I decided to do this tour as an amature. This was a marvellous experience with a lot of unforgettable moments. The bikes are sturdy and they provide all gears. The guide was always trailing behind to ensure everyone were safe. I can highly recommend this company and this activity.

The Best - Would never forget this experience. ATV Quad bike to Maras Moray is not well known among tourists but is the best!. Marko as a guide was just an icing on the cake. Bikes are well maintained and the routes are well trodden. Marko was very safe and was always ensuring that the group was doing well. Enjoyed a lot
