Awesome tour, awesome guides, awesome business

Took the 4 day White Rim tour with 5 other guests and our guides (Mike and Tess) took very good care of us. The food was incredible, the guides very knowlegeable and great riders themselves, and the trip was very enjoyable. I went alone on this trip and quickly melded with the rest of the group which turned out to be great people. We had one beginner on the ride and she did extremely well since she was physically fit. Although this tour is on jeep roads it can still hurt you if you don't pay attention. If you are timid or not willing to put forth some effort I would not recommend the White Rim Tour, it is not a paved bike path ride and can challenge everyone depending on how hard you push yourself. Technically it's pretty easy but there are still some suprises out there. Rim Tours does it right. Mike and Tess worked very hard to make sure we were comfortable, the food they prepared was tasty and there was plenty of it. From breakfast to after dinner tea/cocoa they worked hard to make sure we were taken care of. Mike is an encyclopedia of knowledge with 17 years with Rim Tours and Tess is very adept as well. The guides were patient, helpful, and extremely competent. The office staff at Rim Tours was helpful from the first call. We had a fast group (including the beginner) which made the riding fun and actually gave us more time to kick around during our walks/talks and around camp. I'm already planning my next tour with Rim Tours and I just got back to work!!
