We had a wonderful time with Maria on our MTB tour! She was great and explained about the culture, the people and a lot of interesting details about Guatemala and the area of Antigua. They were amazing and very detail oriented all the time with the booking. I told... read more them it was gonna be me and my girlfriend (less experienced rider) and they managed to put us on 3 different trails with different levels of difficulty and we ended up having the best time. You can clearly notice Maria loves what she does and she is very good at it. If we return to Guatemala we'll definitely book again with them !

Gracias a este grandioso equipo, mi esposo y yo conocimos Guatemala, sus pueblos, su cultura , su belleza de una forma que no hubiese sido posible como turistas comunes. La mejor forma de conocer un paĆs, es en bicicleta. Brendan, NeftalĆ y Erick son un equipo maravilloso nos hicieron sentir... read more en familia desde el primer momento. āLo importante no es el destino sino el recorridoā NeftalĆ. MTB Guatemala.

I just returned from the 9-Day Highland Enduro Trip and it far exceeded my expectations. I do these mountain biking trips every year all around the world, and Brendan has figured out a true adventure that will stick with me for many years. The trails were unique everyday, the riding... read more was always challenging, the places we stayed were top-notch compared to places I've stayed in Central and South America before, and the food in Guatemala was wonderful. We had time to explore the touristy cities of Antigua and Lake Atitlan (San Pedro), but most of the time was out riding through small local Mayan villages, truly getting to see what the country is like off of the beaten path. Brendan and Milton (our fabulous driver) washed and checked my bikes each night, kept us full of local snacks and baked goods, and filled every day from sun up to sundown. And then to have the trip culminate with a freeride down the Pacaya Volcano was the perfect way to end it with an experience that I will remember forever. If you are up for an old-school adventure with some challenging riding on real mountain trails, then this 9-Day Enduro trip should not be missed. I would go back to Guatemala just to repeat the last day! Thanks Brendan and the MTB Guatemala team!
