& Enduro Magazine) Deputy News Editor
High altitude thrills amongst some of the most awe-inspiring scenery
in the world is what riding in Peru is all about - just go there and ride.
Now!Bob Pratley
& Carol Green - Inverness
Once again many thanks for a fantastic time despite the challenges that we
all faced! You and the guys really went out of your way to accommodate us
and provide us with a fantastic bespoke adventure holiday.
If you want any references or a point of contact don't hesitate to pass on
our number, I know Carol will be more than willing to talk with any
prospective lady riders that you may have thinking about your trips.
Dave Haggett - Leeds
Great trip, value for money biking. The Andes and mountains were
fantastic. Loved the people of Peru.
David Woodiwiss &
Richard Langdon - Solihul
From the winding dirt tracks high in the Andes to the five-hour
gravelly blast through the Canon Del Pato was extremely good practice for
the trails back home and were awesome fun to boot - especially when you
rode them fast!
MATT WHITTINGHAM- LONDON
I had a fantastic time on
the tour & my only regret is not doing it for 3 or 4 weeks! Peter & Franco
were top blokes & great companions. Peru is wonderful & the riding was
superb especially the more challenging off road sections
JAMIE LATCHFORD- DAGENHAM
ESSEX
I Loved Peru! I could not
have hoped to have met a warmer and friendlier people especially given
their circumstances. I felt exhilarated to be riding in such an array of
conditions. Several times within the same day the weather & roads (or lack
of them) would surprise me in their ability to change without warning! but
it was all part of the adventure. I pushed myself beyond anything Id dealt
with before & returned a much more confident rider.
Salut!

WILTSHIRE
PERU 2007 BIKE TOUR
What a journey! to a real
culture which people most normally do not get to see, smell or feel as
tourists these memories I will always have with me on my journeys in life.
The Peruvian people in this
beautiful country were just the best, very friendly & I didn't come across
any situation which was difficult to deal with at all on this well guided
& organised small group tour.
A pleasure & a incredible
time in a great environment, If you want memories which will stay with you
forever take this opportunity to travel in a beautiful & challenging
country PERU! These memories you will carry for the rest of your life!
Ennis Brito
of Celendin Peru;
Great Trip! Thanks David, I saw parts of Peru I had never been to in my
life even though I am Peruvian! Stunning scenery and ideal biker trails.

Richard
Ralph, British Ambassador to Peru;
Being a biker myself, such holidays hold enormous appeal for me. Keep me
informed as your business in Peru develops and I will certainly visit you in
Cajamarca the next time I am up that way. 2005
Roger Lewis
of Chepstow, South Wales;
Riding off road for over half of our 1000 mile journey was undoubtedly
the most rewarding and I was deeply impressed by the resilience of the
people of Peru whose harsh existence contrasts so sharply with ours. 2005
Northern Tour
Simon
Walters of East Sussex, England;
Great off road riding especially going up the Canyon De Patos for 70k's.
Loved the food and drink and women of Peru! In fact, still going out with
the one I met in Caraz! Northern Tour.
Chris
Davies; Brecon, South Wales;
Super trip, wonderful scenery, shame about my stomach! Got a new name on
tour Di Rea! but can't wait to go again (that's a trip not to the loo!) 2005
Northern Tour
Billy, Mike
& Brian; South Kilkenny, Ireland;
Thanks boys for a great trip. We really enjoyed it, it was an experience
we will never forge. It had everything from snow capped mountains to deserts
to lush warm valleys to dirt roads. The trip was well planned from start to
finish with every day a new adventure. The Suzuki DR650s are an excellent
bike for the terrain, we would like to thank Dave, Pete, Carlos and Franco
for a great trip. Keep in touch, we definitely want to go again next year!
2005 Northern Tour.
George Webb
of Alicante, Spain;
The DR 650 is a great choice of machine, many of the trails and roads we
followed were great and we had a real insight into Peru proper before seeing
the tourist attractions. I was pleasantly surprised by the food in the rural
areas both in quality and cost. One of my lasting memories is being ambushed
by village dogs more times than in my 46 years of riding. Thanks for all the
work which went into organising the tour as I know it was considerable and
to Carlos and Franco for all their help, thanks to Peter whose obvious and
extensive experience/endurance showed through and was greatly appreciated. I
hope you will run many more tours in the years to come and make more people
aware of the attractions of Peru. Southern Tour 2006.
Ted Scott,
Tarporley, Cheshire, England;
Thanks for providing such a good tour to the Andes, the route and roads
were excellent. The riding was superb and the Suzuki DR650s were I reckon
just about the best bike possible to do such a trip. They climbed
faultlessly to nearly 5000 metres! which for carburettor engines was
astounding. Wherever really nice hotels were available we stayed in them and
where not it was always perfectly adequate. I enjoyed the trip and the
company of your staff and clients. I wish you the best of success with the
future trips. Southern Tour 2006.
George
Cherry (Captain Chaos)
Peru is one of the greatest biking countries I have ridden and I have
ridden in 19 countries to date. Particular thanks to Carlos for all his help
and if you want someone to help Peter investigate new trail routes in Peru
let me know, even though im 73! Southern Tour 2006
Pete Guy,
Aberdeen, Scotland;
It was out of this World. I've been riding for 25 years and never seen
anything like it. You go to five times this height of Ben Nevis and when you
return there is a real sense of achievement.
Guy Sutton,
Tunbridge Wells, England;
I can thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone wishing to escape the normal
pressures of life. The combination of stunning scenery and good company
added to the pleasure of riding modern, well maintained bikes makes one
forget everything else. The staff are very helpful and make sure that if,
like me you prefer to potter along, you are not left on your own. If I was
looking for criticism, some of the hotels though clean can be a little basic
and do not for instance have hot taps in the washbasins. However that is a
minor disadvantage on a holiday that is different, fascinating and amazingly
good value. Delighted, Tunbridge Wells!
Andrew
Ferguson, Rhyader, Mid Wales
This was a life
changing experience for me having ridden off road in Wales for many years
nothing could compare with the views I have seen of the Andes and mountains.
