We had a fantastic time!!!! The guides where really helpful and helped our group stay together when we got separated. The tour was really enjoyable and we really had a blast. Thank you Wyatt and the rest of the team.
Depends on the group but our tour was very slow and chill because there were elderly people on the atv whereas we wanted more adventure and speed and fun
It was a fun ATV ride on the streets of Corfu. There was no offroading. The streets were narrow and at times in various states of disrepair but not true ATV experience. Still it was very fun and the scenery was beautiful. The guides did a good job at keeping us all together. The beach was a typical Greece beach, not soft sand but definitely relaxing.
On Sunday we had a small group of about 8 riders. Loved the riding experience. The guides are very accommodating, supportive and of course well-informed. In our group of 4, the 2 riders that didn't have the ability to drive the individual rig, were still able to ride with the two guides on a double ATV and enjoy the activity. Great experience!
The experience was a lot of fun, riding on narrow hilly roads. The guides did a great job of getting our group back while the rest of the group went swimming in the sea. This was necessary because their shuttle driver was 40 minutes late at our pick up point and he made two other pick up for workers; this shortened the time we had for the activities. The ride back to the ship with a different driver only took 30 minutes.
This was one of our favorite excursions we did on our trip. My mother needs a knee surgery and often worries about doing extreme activities, but she had a blast. Dimitris and the rest of the staff were amazing. It was so nice to see the island, the food was amazing, the beach was beautiful, it was really just a great day.
Very disappointed. They were an hour late picking us up, and instead of trying to get us to our destination he made more stops (so he could pick up some more $$$). By the time we finally got there it was decided that our little group would have to miss the majority of the excursion. We missed both beaches, the mission and didn't get to take any pictures. All we got to do was drive to lunch and back. That was it!! This was an excursion I had been so excited for. I really hope today goes better and we get to actually do our excursions and see Dubrovnik.
Lovely scenic trip, plenty of suitable stops, the owner picked us up from our hotel for a third of the price off rip off taxi prices in corfu at the moment
The quad bike experience was enjoyable as a drive through the Corfu countryside, but it didn’t live up to how it was described. The guides led us through a few villages and up into the mountains to a taverna for lunch. The restaurant itself was in a pleasant setting, but the lunch was small and fairly average. After lunch, we followed exactly the same route back, stopping briefly for an ice cream before returning to the starting point. The tour description was quite misleading. It mentioned visiting a serene beach, a monastery, and a vineyard. In reality, we simply drove in a loop around the beach, catching only a couple of seconds’ glimpse of it. There was no monastery stop at all, and the vineyard was only something we drove past without any explanation or visit. There was very little commentary throughout the day, and none of the local history, culture or points of interest were explained. Overall, it felt more like a long quad bike ride up the mountain and back than a guided sightseeing tour. The Pink Palace Hotel, where the tour is based, was an interesting place. Apart from a bottle of water provided with lunch, no drinking water was offered during the day, so make sure you bring plenty with you. Lunch is served at large shared tables with the whole group, which I personally found a little awkward. One thing to be aware of is that the group size is around 20 people, and the pace is dictated by the slowest rider. While that’s understandable from a safety perspective, it can make the experience feel quite slow at times. Overall, if you’re looking for a scenic quad bike ride, you’ll probably enjoy it. However, if you’re expecting a cultural tour with visits to the attractions advertised, you may come away disappointed.
The ride was slow. Felt it was boring compared to other atv rides I’ve been on. The first hour is going downhill and it was really slow. I did more braking than accelerating. It goes to a taverna where food is provided. Then goes downhill again really slowly to the beach. The last hour is going back to pink palace. Although it was uphill, I thought it was still slow and boring. Overall, the guides and food was good but the atv ride itself is not worth the money and time.
