          Incredible sights, great guide, unforgettable experience.
          What an awesome experience. Raul was incredible and our cheeks hurt from all the smiling we did. This was such a fantastic way to see the city and the surrounding area. I 100% recommend the quatrimotos tour in Guanajuato. ¡Gracias por todo Raul!

          Cool way to explore the city
          This was a pretty unique experience. Riding through the mountains and city streets is very safe and a fun way to explore the city. Our guide was very nice and took lots of pictures of us along our stops. The only set back which is why I didn't give 5 stars is he didn't speak much English and we don't speak very good Spanish so the language barrier prevented us from really getting the most out of some of our stops

          Honeymoon Biking Adventure in Guanajuato
          My husband and I were in Guanajuato for our honeymoon and wanted to bike ride just like we do in Vancouver. We had a wonderful and unique experience with our biker guide Abraham and our driver Susana. The ride was challenging for us at some points as there are a few hills, but Abraham was patient with us and was always checking if we were OK. He also took beautiful photos. Be prepared for an adventure of a lifetime! Muchas gracias! Adriana and Jeremy

          A fantastic hike
          We had a fantastic walk with Raul and Susie. Raul was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It was a great circular walk with fantastic views. We would really recommend.

          It was a really nice mountainbike tour through the nature and Guanajuato city! We enjoyed it! Got some explanation about the environment and about the city. Thanks Raul!

          Worth it!
          This will definitely be a memorable experience! Your guide is very attentive before and during the tour. Your guide will also show you the basics for the wheeler before heading out. This is mostly a terrain tour, however, you will be riding around the city streets… knowing how to ride a 4 wheeler would be better. Hope you have as much fun as we did! I know you will!!

          Beautiful peaceful bike riding
          Enjoyed an easy 18K out and back ride near the nature reserve at Santa Rosa. Raul was and excellent friendly guide. The bikes were in very good shape, almost new. Santa Rosa has beautiful views and quiet oak forests. We had a great day.

          Amazing views!!
          It was fantastic. Raul was great. Views/scenery were amazing! Very glad we did it. It is challenging, my sister and I (61) found parts of it difficult. My nephew (26) and son (24) did great! Just take it slow on n the downhills and be in the right gear fur the uphills! The truck follows behind which is great just in case you need it.

          We saw incredible views, 3 wild horses and a deer. The altitude makes biking in Guajuato challenging

          Great tour! Definitely recommend
          We had a great time! We got picked up from our hotel from the owners (I think) and they were super friendly. Then we arrived at the starting point where we met our guide, who gave us instructions on how to handle the ATV. Then the tour startet and it was a lot of fun! A perfect mixture of the colourful streets in the city and the adventurous part in the sierra. Thank you very much!

          What a great trip!
          From start to finish this trip was worth the cost for sure! We were picked up from our Airbnb and returned later. We saw the city from every angle. Even driving thru the tunnels under the city was a blast. We got to see places no other tours can take you. Don’t miss your chance to take this trip. Professional and friendly staff made it that much better!

        Being a first timer to Guanajuato, escaping the city and traveling to the highest peaks of the city was an amazing experience. The views are incredible and we were able to capture some amazing videos, pictures, and memories. I have a mild fear of heights and there were a few times I was more than slightly nervous. I will also say that it’s Spanish only so if you’re going as a couple and you’re unable to speak Spanish, it’s something to keep in mind. Outside of those minor things, it’s a wonderful experience. After 3 hours, I was able to get very comfortable riding a horse which is really cool. The ranch is beautiful and the owner is very sweet and kind. We were treated wonderfully and had a once in a lifetime experience. I would recommend this adventure to others…

        We booked our horseback riding the day before and the sign up process was easy and accommodating. Raul and Cruz were super genuine and made sure our group had an amazing time. We were picked up from our hotel on time and brought back home in a timely matter after the activity. The trails we took on horse were breathtaking! The horses were well trained and perfect for someone with no prior riding experience. If you are in Guanajuato for a weekend, definitely sign up for this event. Cruz and RaĂşl were top notch and we would definitely do it again. A+

        We were picked up at our hotel no problem. We had no idea how to ride horses but after a quick lesson we hit the trail and things went pretty smoothly. Once we got comfortable with the horses and out into the mountains it was really nice. Great scenery. Cruz was an excellent guide and helped us get some great pictures. I would highly recommend it.

        We enjoyed our ride with Cruz immensely. Neither of us is an experienced rider but the horses were gentle and easy to handle (though my mount, Pompeyo, was occasionally a bit spirited and wanted to pull off to the side to munch some leaves. A nice little challenge for me to steer him back on course!)

        The scenery was spectacular and Cruz was an excellent guide. You do need at least one Spanish speaker in your group, but the explanations about how to mount and control the horses are very brief and simple. (Mostly Cruz trusts his guess not to be idiots!)

        The delicious homemade popsicles were a treat, as was the nice cold brew, enjoyed horseback, to celebrate the end of the ride!

        Called Raul for availability for myself, son and daughter for same day 3pm tour since we had no plans for day. He was able to get in contact with stables and they said yes!! We were picked up at our hotel on time and taken up to the Hacienda in San Miguel De Cardones. Let me tell you...and i dont frequently write reviews...and I have traveled all over the world....this was by far the most fantastic beautiful tour I have ever been on. It is worth every penny, you get more then what you expect. I have ridden a horse before long ago but with the guide/owner Jose Cruz's tutorial and guidance I felt comfortable right away. He was extremely patient and kind to help my kids learn how to direct their horses. We went on a trail ride for appx 2.5 hrs. More then enough time for you to explore the mountain side. He took us to a vista point where you have the most amazing view of Guanajuato. He took pictures for us on the horses...and gave us time to rest before continuing the journey back. It was a hot day and he stopped for us on way back for refreshment at local shop. Didnt even have to get off the horse. :0) You could not ask for a better guide to accompany you on that trail. He was not only knowledgeable but made sure I felt safe there as a woman traveling alone with teenagers...no concerns whatsoever. The horses are beautiful, healthy and obviously well taken care of. There is not enough space for me to tell you....you HAVE to do this tour. Get out and away from just city stuff and the million museums...get back to fresh air and nature. Its the most amazing therapeutic thing you could do for yourself and family. The bonding experience I got that day with my kids will last them forever. Its all they have talked about since we got back. Let me add on a side note that its rare you meet such a humble hard working person such as Jose Cruz. When my daughter struggled or got scared he jumped right in to help or reassure her. Theres horses in California....but id buy a ticket back to Mexico just to go back there for THIS.

        A very pleasant horseback ride in the company of Señor Cruz, my guide. Discovering the beautiful landscapes of Guanajuato and its mountains and more particularly here the CERRO DEL SOMBRERO! I highly recommend! Importantly, the horses are in excellent health, well treated, well fed and above all well trained. Long live Guanajuato!

        This equestrian experience was an incredible adventure and a very enjoyable experience to experience as a family. The guide was very attentive and before starting they taught us how to ride the horse, so we were able to ride safely and have a very fun day.
