“Guide was excellent and personable. Second half of the trip was excellent and easy riding. However, the first part through the rainforest trail was extremely difficult and definitely not for a beginner-even the guide admitted was difficult for him and he is an experienced cyclist. Third party providers online for these trips need to be honest about what they are selling and not putting misleading pictures on their advertisements, like pictures of 9 year olds and families. There is no way they would have been able to complete the rainforest trail section at the start. Having said that the guide was friendly and patient which made for a good day…”
