We had an all around great experience. The front desk staff was very accomodating! We contacted Jonathan to help change our original time, and there was no problem in getting that done. Our ride was with Franco and Minerva (Carmen) and they were both AWESOME, very knowledgeable in both the ATVs and the area. Another It was a tight private tour that was able to be amended however we wanted. I would absolutely recommend to family and friends!

Great experience

Janae_D, Jun 2025
From someone who's done ATV riding excursions a few times, this one was probably the best one. Everything about this experience was amazing!!! The crew was very friendly, attentive, and made everything 10x more fun. The scenery of the mountains and creeks along the route was extremely beautiful, and the tequila tasting was like no other! Highly recommend!

A freakin' blast. Wonderful tour up the mountain and through running water and small rivers. Edson, our tour guide was great and Roberto, his photographer took so many great action shots. Loved every minute.

Great time... Amazing adventure!!!!

This is an tour!!! Our guide was quiet at first but then after the safety part he was Amazing!!! This tour is Amazing!!!!! The places they take you are beautiful and breathe taking!!!! We drove through town and they made sure we safe and comfortable with our ATV'S. We then went into the mountains on Amazing trails and adventures. We stopped a few times so our wonderful guide could check on us to make sure we were ok and to see the breathe taking views! Everything was amazing and extremely fun. We stopped for lunch at a great place. You can choose to eat outside next to the river( I highly recommend this) we were taught to make fresh tortillas while waiting for our lunch. We chose the combination meat platter. It had all beef, chicken, pork and shrimp with beans and rice. It was huge. All four of us could not finish it! It was DELICIOUS!!!!! It was very reasonably priced! We then did the tequila tasting. It was one of the best tequilas I have ever had!!!! Even my daughter loved it and she is not a tequila drinker! Octavio was great! Make sure you get some to take back. Unfortunately this is only place you purchase it!!! You will regret not get some. We wish we would have purchased more ( especially after tasting other tequila) this is by far the best!!!!! The ride back to town our guide took us by Elizabeth Taylor's house it was beautiful. Upon return to the tour location we received cold towels. It was a great surprise. We did purchase the pictures that were taken of our Amazing day. They are very reasonably priced and worth it. We will definitely be doing this tour again!!!! Thank you to everyone who made our experience Amazing!!!!!

We had an amazing day riding with Joey E. on this tour. The ride was perfect, the stops were fun and the lunch was super tasty! Rancho Las Vegas is a sweet spot in the middle of the jungle, we could have stayed forever! Thanks Joey for a great ride and day, we were so happy we chose this company from the many available.

Fernando, the owner, and Joey, our guide were both helpful and awesome. After a short ride from the shop through town, my husband and I went with Joey up into the Sierra Madre mountains. The trail was wider than I expected and the views were breathtaking. I'd love to do this tour at different times of the year to see how the landscape changes. Heck if I lived down there I want to be a tour guide!!! We stopped and enjoyed lunch and a beer in a little cantina. We've been on bigger tours before and this was nice because it was just the three of us.The equipment seemed in good shape and we had no problems. We felt the price was reasonable too. Joey was easy going, friendly and fun to talk with. He seemed knowledgeable about the area even though he is from the States. I've kept his card and we will definitely look them up next time we are in town. Sorry I cannot post a photo, I only took video. You'll have to take my word and go for yourself.
