As the end of the year fast approaches, we’ve been reflecting on the past 12 months and the incredible adventures we’ve had, and rather than give you our perspective on it, we thought we’d do a round-up of customer reviews of our mountain bike tours in 2012.
And just for fun, we’ve created this word cloud from comments made by our customers this year!

Coast-to-coast Scotland, September (Dave and Margaret, USA)
…epic, challenging, awesome. A few words to describe our recent holiday with H&I Adventures. This was our first experience with H&I Adventures and we’re already trying to figure out when we can holiday with them again. We were impressed with the resources available to allow individuals of varying abilities to maximize their experience over the course of the week. The skill level rating and description for this tour reflects the scope and scale of all that the Coast-to-Coast Scotland has to offer.
Ecuador, December (Holger, Germany)
Amazing trip and perfect trails in the very beautiful country Ecuador. Unbelievable how different the trails are: from jungle trails to sandy trails in the desert, up to Highlands and downhill on the slopes of Cotopaxi. Perfect bike trip with lots of culture and gorgeous landscape!
Nepal, November (Gavin and Elaine, Scotland)
If you love the idea of riding some awesome trails in the Himalayas then this is a must. If you also love the thought of mixing this with a cultural experience unlike any other then even better. Every day is special in its own different way making this without a doubt one of the best adventure experiences you’ll ever have.
Torridon & Skye Scotland, September (Luke, Canada)
Amazing trip from beginning to end!!! Trails were challenging and fun. The scenery is inspiring and absolutely beautiful. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly and I’m a better rider today because of them. Even the food and accommodations were great! Best of all, I now have some new riding buddies to go on future trips with. H&I Adventures took care of everything perfectly!
Mexico, October (Cynthia, USA)
This adventure is a great cultural biking experience. Welcoming and friendly local guides, fantastic food, amazing biking, breathtaking views, and fun company made this trip truly memorable!
Cairngorms Scotland, June (Samantha, England)
A brilliant holiday! The trips out were amazing with beautiful scenery and challenging routes. Being in a small group was ideal as we all got a chance to get to know each other. Also meant that the holiday could be tweaked so it suited everyone. I would definately recommend this holiday… for the cycling, the beautiful Cairngorms and the holiday itself which felt personal and very relaxed.
Nepal, October (Brian, England)
Ride in the shadows of the Himilayas from rainforest to baron wastelands it feels like riding on mars. If you really want to see all that Nepal has to offer and I mean ALL book it! The most amazing trip you will ever do!
Coast-to-coast Scotland, September (Joni, USA)
Leg busting climbs and thrilling descents! I’d travel to the ends of the earth with H&I Adventures, dedicated as they are to providing adventure and comfort while safety and competence lead the way.
Torridon & Skye Scotland, June (Fernando, Spain)
An amazing bike trip. Best way to know awesome landscapes, trails and people. and all of it put together with a fantastic guide. The food and acommodation are really good. The Torridon area is unforgetable and what can I to say of Skye…. uffff. If you are thinking about this trip, no doubt any more, do it!
