WHAT ARE CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US
This trip took me out of my skin in the best way possible. It was diverse, sometimes (often) tough and sometimes outright luxurious but always incredibly fun. Our guide, Leo was an excellent mixture of fun loving motorcyclist and experienced and sometimes serious tour guide. He was always on the job looking out for us and concerned about our safety and that we were being looked after. Our support vehicle driver, Mauricio, prepared fantastic lunches for us on driving days and took great care of our luggage whilst on tour. The itinerary could not have been better planned. The riding days were a great mixture of awesome tarmac and challenging dirt.
Bolivia was a blast. The way Compass alternate riding days with touristing days is really excellent and each day leaves you wanting to do just what you did that day over and over again, but for the fact that you know the next day will be just as good as the last. On the non riding days the frequent guided tours are excellent and really add to the holiday. Jerry keeps close contact with the group guides to ensure that everything goes well and despite the fact that you visit some really remote places one feels very safe at all times. The bikes are excellent and well maintained. This holiday represented the best value for money holiday I've ever had, in fact I can't see how Compass make a buck out of it. Many Many thanks to Jerry for assembling a crew of such high standard. Keep up the great work.

Most amazing 12 days of my life/Chile, Argentina, fantastic, excellent tour that will be hard to top.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to Compass and staff for a truly great experience on the Los Andes tour. When I booked the trip, I was at the end of my tether with an incredibly high pressure/high responsibility job. So there were moments when I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew when we started the off road part of the Los Andes tour and questioned why I hadn't chosen a trip away to the Bahamas.Most riders had ridden all their lives and had excellent off road experience.
However, the Atacama and Bolivian desert was the best thing I could have wished for.
All other parts of the tour were amazing and I love South America.
All guides, hotel staff, Anna Marie and family, the 4x4 special tour guide and cook were lovely.
Leo's mature and caring attitude to all situations thrown at him is highly impressive - (of course nothing runs smoothly but that was all apart of the experience). He is a great asset to Compass.
Mauricio ensured Leo was supported, that guests were well fed and he never seemed to be bothered by anyone's demands....that is a rare quality.
A big thank you again as I thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Kind regards

This was the greatest motorcycle trip I have ever been on. The trip was carefully planned but unregimented. Each day was unique in scenery and in riding conditions. The bikes were always examined each evening and kept in the best of shape. The accommodations and food were always top notch. In short, I loved the trip and plan to return and ride with you again.

Compass Expeditions provided me with the adventure of a lifetime. The staff went out of their way to ensure we all had a great time. I am hoping to do another ride soon.
Dan Osborne, Australia
Wilder than my best imaginings, these guys are awesome!
The scenery is beyond words and its a fabulous experience!
If I had twelve months to live, I would book Compass Expeditions for the remainder of my life!
Susan Hyde, Canada
Really professional and really great to deal with. We both love riding and what better way to see a place like this, its pretty darn spectacular!
Simon Dunwoody, UK
The tour out-shined my wildest expectations on every level! I really enjoyed the "go at your own pace" format of the tour. Great for the faster riders and the slower riders as well. I wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with Compass, in fact I wouldn't book with anyone else.
Sam, USA
 A great experience with a new motorbike tour company who are eager to please. The bikes were the best we have experienced on many overseas trips. Compass Expedition's enthusiasm will undoubtedly lead to an outstanding motorcycle tour company, certainly within South America, if not the world.
James Thiessen, Australia
When it comes to riding dirt and experiencing spectacular scenery, this is the real deal!
Adrian Blake, Canadian motojournalist
Best trip I have ever done in my life, unbelievable!
Carmine Caputo, Australia

Philip Hyde, Canada
Dear Mick and the boys
I would like to share my deepest thanks for making my South American trip such a wonderful experience. I felt totally supported the entire trip and your service from our first phone call has been outstanding. Your equipment was top shelf and your itinerary made each day its own fantastic adventure. You were right, the trip has changed my life and I have Compass Expeditions to thank for it.
I will see you guys in two years for another adventure, and I have already started counting down the days.
Doug Shaw, Australia
Best ride of my life to date - entering Bariloche Ruta 40, Argentina
John Hanrahan, Australia
You get to do it at your own pace, if you want a break, you have a break, there is no pushing, if you want a photo you take a photo!
Cate Read, Australia
Well organized - Local knowledge good. Nothing too much trouble. Language skills excellent. No hesitation in recommending or availing to further tours - Great 10 days. Many thanks.
Geoff Smith, Australia
Dear Compass Crew,
I just have to express my gratitude for a trip of a lifetime between Buenos Aires and Rio de Janiero. The coastal scenary around Paraty on Brasils southern coast has to be some of the best in the world - Lush Green Jungle, Blue Sea, Surf, and bends galore! In contrast the mountain roads around Sao Jaoqin and with the sweeping flat highways through Uruguay made for a fantastically varied route. Forever etched in my memory are the countless hairpin bends through the clouds up to the Sao Joaqin plateau, and riding the wet cobbled roads up out of Antonina. And who would have thought I would get to captain the ferry from Cassino. The superb boutique hotels in Antonina and Punta Diablo are now on my list of secret hideaways to return too.
Further more I must complement you on your crew and equipment. The BMW 650's are brilliant new machines. HD514 never left me wanting and turned heads wherever we went.
It was refreshing not to have to tour loaded up with luggage and be able to enjoy the bike to the full, in the knowledge that all my gear was safe and dry in the Land Crusier.
Thanks too to Jerry and Adam. Whether it was trying to deal with the inevitable puncture or an obstanate Brasilian border official who got out of bed the wrong side, these two members of your team were always on hand with their years of experience to ensure that South Americas worst didn't spoil the day!
I very much look forward to the next two wheeled adventure. Perhaps you have some places currently available for Torres del Paine in 2011?
P Broster, United Kingdom.
It was dream to come to Peru. My dream has come true. It was the best adventure of my life. Thanks Jerry, Leo and Peter.
