I liked that we could try the bikes on our own and if we didn't feel comfortable on them then we could share with someone else ( I got on the back of my partners bike). The drone shots they did were AMAZING and a really memory to keep. This is definitely something I would do again and recommend. It was so much fun to see the sunset in the desert.”
