What our customers have to say about us
(read trips recounts)

"Very few times during my trips have I been able to say that the day to day experience, going through cities or camping in the forest, has been both didactical and of personal growth. I can say that about this trip.
I think, that to be able to provide this to your customers, you need a well planed logists and wisely selected list of activities and trips. It is in the guides to get to know and understand the purpose of each person that comes looking for something, outside and.... inside himself.
To put it clearly, you have to know to be able to fully understand the different points of view of each person.
On a bike and in the incredible environment of Patagonia Argentina, two experts in these matters made a few days of what could have been, a "ride in the mountains", an intimate and close contact, wonderfully orchestrated with the geography and ecology of the region.
I am honestly thankful and already willing to come back!"

" We are a couple of 49, from the City of Buenos Aires. After some months of hard working, we felt we needed a break. We decided to take a couple days off to unwind. Manuel, our 18 year old son, preferred to stay. We insisted he should join us, a bit because, we didn´t want to leave him behind and bit because, as time goes by, there are less opportunities to spend quality time together as a family.

And, oh well, we talked him into it.

That was how we got to this incredible place, Bariloche, with its landscapes, its mountains, lakes... all the things we knew so well from previous visits. And that, was one of the issues, we didn´t want to repeat the regular tours, were not too interested in doing the traditional excursions that most agencies offer.


Looking for a solution to this, I run into Biketrips in Internet, I showed their website to Gabriel. He was enthusiastic from the beginning and decided to contact them. We called that very same day of our arrival. A few hours later Pablo was in our cabin. We talked about our doubts and fears, since I didn´t have any previous experience in MTB. He prepared an excursion to fit our needs. It was exactly what all we have dreamt of.
He was present in every detail with a smile and made us feel comfortable and confident. The bikes were first quality and we could make the best of them. The trails we rode were easy and safe, with spectacular views and as our prize we got to a beautiful fall, that we enjoyed while having a nice tea and pastries Pablo had brought for us.

That same afternoon, we started to plan our next tour. The pictures we took and the ones Pablo took of the three of us, are the faithful testimony of the great time we had. We have no doubts: it was one of our best trips and we want to repeat the experience. Marta, Gabriel & Manu"

" A couple years ago I started thinking of going to Bariloche and do some rides on my bike. Everytime I traveled that way in my car I crossed lots of bikers and I wanted to know what it was like. I tried to convince a group of friends to come along but it was not possible. Then a friend of mine, Merecedes, suggested I should contact Pablo and so I did. I traveled with the confidence that their e mails inspired.
As soon as I arrived, that same day we did our first ride. It really exceded my expectations. Pablo and Vivian´s care and dedication... they are both spectacular hostesses.
Then all the places Pablo showed me, the trails in the forest, the single tracks... there are no words to describe it, you have to experience it ! Today
I see the pictures and I realize it was one of the best holidays I ever had. I hope and can repeat the experience next year. Pablo has told me there are still many trails to ride and I certainly want to ride them!

"Pablo is an awesome guy! We went down some amazing single track on Catedral and I had a great time with him. Swimming in the Gutierrez lake was definatley a highlight for me. We were the only ones in it and it was such a beautiful place to be. I have done a lot of mountain biking in USA and the ride we did was like nothing else. It was challenging and super rewarding I was so proud of myself when we had finished! I would recommend to anyone to mountain bike with Pablo or just hang out with the guy, you will have a great time!"

"After a wonderful vacation in Argentina, we are back home in Wyoming. We floated and fished rivers near San Carlos de Bariloche and Junin delos Andes. We hiked around Bariloche, toured vineyards in Mendoza and mt. biked in the mountains west of Mendoza. After many wonderful days in Argentina, I can honestly say that the highlight of my vacation was mt. biking with you in Bariloche. You showed me many beautiful sites, we road great trails and outstanding single track. I especially want to thank you for introducing me to your friends and your lovely wife. It was a great day and I when I think of Argentina, I will think of our ride in Bariloche.
Thanks " Jeff

"Lisa and I had so much fun on our trip up Cerro Otto in Bariloche! It was the absolute highlight of my Argentina trip! Not only were you a wonderful tour guide you were an excellent, encouraging coach to get us up the mountain! Thank you so much for such a great adventure and for taking the time for our tour.
If I am ever in Bariloche, I will definitely give you a call. I have also given your contact information for some friends of mine that are going to Bariloche soon!

Thank you so much again! Hope you and Vivian are doing well and have happy holidays."

"Pablo took me and two others on a great mountain biking trek a few kilometers outside of Bariloche which you would never find in a guidebook. Their bikes were top quality and even during the uphill parts of the tour we still had fun thanks to Pablo's great enthusiasm and energy. We cycled through dirt, water and snow and stopped in a refuge to have a beautiful lunch in a log cabin.
I can't recommend booking a trip with Biketrips enough to anyone thinking of visiting Bariloche. Its a fantastic way of really seeing some of the most stunning scenery in the world, and if that doesn't appeal to you then do it just to have a day out with Pablo

"My girlfriend and I wanted to see the beauty of Bariloche by bike, and
Pablo exceeded our expectations. I am a serious cyclist while my girlfriend is a novice. We told Pablo that we needed a route that could accommodate both of us, and he came up with the perfect balance.
He was very encouraging to my girlfriend and his cheering helped her up some of the unavoidable hills. At the same time, he provided high-quality bikes in good condition, so that I could have fun speeding ahead.
And, of course, the vistas were beautiful, including an enchanting waterfall. At one point, Pablo told us to go ahead of him a bit so we could have the thrill of exploring on our own. It was a subtle gesture, and a much-appreciated one.

For first-time visitors to Bariloche who don't speak much Spanish, it was a pleasure to feel so well taken care of. Pablo was simply fantastic. And I know he has many many more routes for all levels of cyclist, and for all time and terrain preferences.
Finally, the price was competitive and fair. Pablo even bought us some local candy bars on the ride!
Go see for yourself!

"I have been raving to folks over the last couple of days about how great of a group we had, and how that made really made the trip great. . . this was my first biking vacation, and I can't imagine anyone having done a better job with everything - the hotels, the meals, the bike routes, etc."

"Having never signed up for a cycling tour, my expectations were very low and basic. We would ride our bikes, eat, sleep and ride our bikes some more. To my sheer amazement, a cycling tour with Steve (Lehman) is so very much more than simply riding a bicycle. From the moment we were greeted at the airport, the continuous flow of thoughtful and well planned events gracefully unfolded. Each day was a total experience, guided with a gentile flexibility, a seemingly effortless orchestration and a relaxed elegance. The unbeatable combination of breathtaking scenery, challenging world class cycling, sightseeing, first class accommodations, fine dining and accouterments and lifelong Friendships are nearly impossible to surpass. I can say without reservation Steve, your tour packages are simply amazing and one-of-a-kind, and I consider myself blessed to have experienced Patagonia with you my Friend!"
