Had a great experience on this tour! Driving the ATV was easy and fun after good instructions. We got to visit 2 cool sites in a relatively short time, and even got to try some of the chocolate and salt that was made. Joel was very welcoming and gave us very interesting info! All in English as well. Would definitely recommend.
This was so much fun! Even as a passenger, I thoroughly enjoyed all of the views that we got to see. It was a great half day, with lots of opportunities to have fun. Thank you so much for that wonderful time!
We had a great experience. It was just the right amount of time at each stop. Trying the different salts on chocolate at the end at a local market was our favorite part! Our guide Joel was excellent and answered all our questions and patient with each member of our group.
It's was a very informative tour, the guide was knowledgeable and made the experience all the more fun for me and my family.
Joel, our guide was really good and informative. The only negative was the bathrooms at the facility were not clean. And for the price, you would expect at least clean bathrooms.
I selected the pick up in Ollantaytambo. My driver Willie was very kind. The drive was about an hour to the ATV place. There we were given a little lesson on how to operate the ATVs by Joel. There are bathrooms at the ATV place by the way. Joel was very kind and patient when it came to explaining how to use the ATVs. We were able to practice at the ATV base before leaving. Joel was also very helpful in assisting with the helmets and ensuring they were the proper size and were put on correctly. The ATV ride was about 45 minutes- hour to Moray and then another 45 minutes- 1 hour back to the base. It didn’t feel like that long however. Joel was very knowledgeable at Moray. There are bathrooms at Moray. Throughout the entire ride Joel did a great job of letting us know which gear to selected and often would turn to make sure we were not too far behind or having any troubles. You will get very dusty, but back at the base Joel did use some compressed air to clean you off. After getting back to the ATV base we then got in a van and took a 25 minute or so drive to the salt mines (which have bathrooms). The tour guide, whose name I cannot remember, was excellent and very knowledgeable. After the salt mines we stopped at a shop to try chocolate and local salt (bathroom stop as well). We then drove a few minutes down the road so some of us can be dropped off to our driver. In my case Willie then drove me back an hour to Ollantaytambo. I recommend bringing water, sunscreen and snacks. I would also wear layers if you are doing the afternoon tour. By the time we got to the salt mines it was pretty cold.
Very rewarding experience. The guide was very attentive. Recommended!
The experience with Joel was great. He was very prepared, answered questions constantly, and looked after us at all times. He definitely made the experience an unforgettable one. I would definitely recommend the tour to other people.
Joel was an excellent guide! We enjoyed the ATVs so much
Excellent experience, getting to know the culture and appreciating its landscapes on an ATV was one of the best experiences. The trip with Joel was too good, he explains everything and gives you the best experience. 100% recommended. The only thing missing is breakfast and a set ✅
