Highly recommend - Great guides and fab experience. Mini bus could do with air conditioning as stifling. Maybe provide water from a cool box as thirsty work scooting!

Love it - Loved it. Went with wife and teenage sons....thought wifey and I would struggle to keep up....loved it....The guide ( Bongi and Justin) was very friendly and helpful. Even when wifey and I fell behind , went abit slower( nerves and youth not what it used to be) and boys being boys, made us feel like slow pokes....will strongly recommend. Great team, great activity

Great activity - scootering down the gravel tracks - Great experience. Our guide was not only a great lover o the region who could answer all questions - he was also great at making the event a great success. We loved all hill descents - and would have gone on and on! Simply great.

Scooter adrenalin rush - Great trip overall, we went on minibus to our first downhill trip, bikes are then reloaded onto the trailer and we drove up the second hill, same for the third hill. Safety features explained before our first ride, both the driver and our leader were helpful, safe and gave us information on the area throughout our trip. I was mostly one of the last finishing each trip as I'm cautious, this was never an issue. You can travel as fast or as slow as you like. Video of one section was received very soon after we finished. Very much recommend this adventure, nothing we've done before.

Excellent - Such excellent value for money. The guide was extremely knowledgeable of our surroundings and gave us the very best tips to ensure our safety. The trip was very exciting as well. We went down three “hills” and the van was there take us uphill which was greatly appreciated - it was pretty steep if you had to walk up. Will definitely do this again!!

Lots of fun for the family - This is a very fun activity to do with the family. Unfortunately, it rained heavily on the day we chose and we got drenched (obviously not Scootours fault), which spoilt it a bit and we had to cut it a little short. Having said that, the guides are great and we really enjoyed it. Would definitely do it again. Personally I think it is a little overpriced. Perhaps a family discount should be considered? Or a discount for kids under a certain age? Although I guess it’s priced for the overseas visitors rather than SA market. Having said all that, it’s a lot of fun and great for most ages!

Cancelled a long standing booking so couldn't go - Sad to say up front that we didn't go. I booked and fully paid for the tour in July for December (Christmas day) and about a week before we were due to go, the company contacted us to say that we were the only ones going and so they wanted to cancel and offered a different date with a small discount. Sadly like most people doing the garden route we had moved on so couldn't do it . Whilst I understand the commercial aspect, I would think the company should follow through on the tours it offers, even if some days are more profitable than others, so needless to say we were very disappointed and hence the score. The refund was prompt and full.

Poor Value for Money - Poor value for money. Super guides, forests and scooters but not worth the price. We expected at least 2 hrs of entertainment and we’re on the bikes less than an hour. Pretty; exciting; but definitely over priced
