Both times completely different, both times completely memorable. Well not myself personally but the husband and kids. The first company it was what my husband called for firstimers of bikes, they gave out t-shirts, the bikes were in good working order and the terrain was mild, the husband did come off his bike landing in mud and had to be washed off in a rice paddie.
Both were around the same prices. Both had really good meals after, both offered showers after. Both had crash helmets.
The 2nd company gave out a dvd of the day at a cost,the bikes were not in good condition, my daughters had a major brake failure & she crashed ending up with the bike on top of her, she finished the day on the back of dads bike. The terrain they were taken on was somewhat dangerous, at some parts they were lowered by ropes whilst still sitting on the quads.
The first company was C-Bali and I can't remember the name of the 2nd company but I'll ask the husband when he gets home tonight.
My kids were 18 & 20 then 19 & 21 for both tours.
They liked and remember the 2nd company the most...a little bit of danger goes a long way at that age! I was horrified to hear of the stories on their return.
