Keep calm and enjoy the ride! - This was such an awsome experience! My son and I had a fantastic time riding our ATV’s while enjoying breathtaking views. Our tour guide Edgar was the best. He was informative, helpful and made sure everyone was safe while enjoying their time. Please note they are not joking about getting dirty. Definitely dress accordingly. Happy travels!!!

ATV tour. Great fun for the whole family - The quad tour was exciting especially for our teenage boys. The salt mines were very interesting and primitively beautiful. All of the guys and our transportation were professional, clean and timely. Views of the sacred valley were amazing and the ATVs were very well-maintained and lightly used.

Probably Best Tour - There were some hiccups at first but it’s understandable and they were awesome to correct any mistake and made everything smooth and perfect picked up as always on time taken care of every step of the way the zip line was just awesome and I have done this and hated it in the past but this one was just different then off to atv omg the views our tour guide Wilson takes awesome pictures and his knowledge on point I really think gratuity should be included at least a minimum because they honestly deserve it and not everyone has gratuity cash with them. Yes Moreau and the salts are things to definetly see but what made it special was our tour guide Wilson I wish I remember the one of zip lines because him and his partnered did and outstanding job as well. I don’t know if I didn’t read the details correctly which I am pretty sure we didn’t but we were drop off at main plaza de armas for dinner but we were muddy and tired so ignored the restaurant and off to our hotel we just walked about 18 mins other times we take any taxi they are all safe and it’s really cheap but we were ok with walking back to hotel.

Great atv ride and tour - The tour started at 1300 with our pickup. It took at least an hour to get to the at. The guides were outstanding. They gave us a brief operation of the at and then we were on our way. The scenery is beautiful and an extensive ride to Moray. We were there for a good half hour and were given ample time to check the site out. We took the same route back to our start point. We then drove to Mares Salt site. We walked down and around the area for a good half hour. We then drove back to Cusco(1 hour and 20 minutes). The scenery is beautiful , the atv ride is great, and the guides were the best. We returned to Cusco around 1900. Highly recommend this tour.

Awesome gritty experience with rain and beautiful scenery - This was an awesome adventure. Since I went in December, it was rather chilly, and rained heavily (understandably during wet season) on our way from Maras, and on the way to the Salt Mines. This shortened our experience, but was still a very fun activity. I went with a group of 4, with one person having no prior atv experience. This didn't make a difference, as we all stayed clear of accidents, kept our distance on the atv's, and took in some amazing sites!

Failed to collect or communicate - DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY! - This tour company failed to collect me, contact me, or answer my messages through trip advisor, whatsapp or answer my calls. I am beyond annoyed to have wasted a day in Cusco when I could have arranged another tour. Dreadful service. Do not use this company.
