Our Happy Adventurer

I spent three memorable days with Antonio and Beth. I truly had nothing to concern myself with, aside from booking my flight. The tour was fantastic, and the bilkes were almost brand new! Wonderful memories, thank you!

Riding the brand new Betas felt like a dream come true for me! Antonio knows these bikes inside out. Quality gear, top-notch maintenance, and such nice tour!

Having not ridden an enduro bike for several years, I was somewhat apprehensive about not being sufficiently skilled ( and fit!) , but Antonio was truly attentive and offered much reassurance. He adjusted the route whenever it presented too much of a challenge, proposing alternatives that matched my ability. Even though I returned exhausted, it was three days of dreamlike experience! Eagerly looking forward to the next tour!

What a splendid weekend! I thoroughly enjoyed riding through those paths steeped in history, and relaxing at the spa with a bit of a massage (and a pint!) by the team's physiotherapists after my day! Antonio is passionate about his work, and it really comes across. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I absolutely recommend! It is to do! The motorcycles almost new, the accommodations very comfortable, the paths of pure enduro... it is paradise here!

I've just got back home, but my mind's still out there... Three days that are going to keep me dreaming for a good while! Can't fault anything, the gear is top-notch, comfort's bang on, the grub's just spot on (France...), and the guide's really passionate about his job. I'll be back at the first opportunity.

I am 72 years old, and I regret waiting so long to come here! The paths are beautiful, I discovered the Beta Xtrainer which will be the best motorcycle in the world for me, and Antonio is more than a motorcycle guide. He is a true ambassador of his region! Despite the help of his physiotherapists, I still must take a few days for recovery now! But thank you!
