A sensational day. Went as a solo quadder and had a great time - Xabi was an exceptional guide, making riders feel both comfortable and welcome. The route is great fun with a good mixture of off road and tarmac were you can get some speed up. He took us through the old town village, Ronda, and up a mountain where the views were stunning. Very happy with my decision to go along and as a first time rider I found the bikes easy enough to handle. Was still buzzing with adrenaline once we got back with my bike reaching 73 km per hour on the drive back from the mountain. Muy bien. Thank you!

Fantastic experience! The car was so much fun to drive. The roads were stunning. And the staff/tour guide were so friendly. Thank you very much for a great day out. Defo recommend!!!

Almost 1 hour after arrival/landing in Mallorca I was in the hotel. I had to walk a little because the bus couldn't stop there, but that wasn't a problem.

Excellent performance. The team is really great and attentive. Heartwarming welcome. Pleasant crossing. Everything was there to spend an unforgettable moment.

Worthy experience!!!The staff are friendly, the environment is good, the massage is amazing!
