Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

From the planning stages to after our time with them Haku’s team went above and beyond to help us and answer our questions. We traveled as a couple, my partner with more biking experience than I, and both of us were blown away with the biking we got to do. Haku catered to both of our ability levels. Mike got to ride the more challenging terrain that he wanted and me the mellower. We did the day biking trip (100% recommend adding this on) and the Ausengate biking trip (so special and unique). Altogether 4 days that truly made our Peru vacation one of a kind. We felt safe, cared for, and the company worked hard to meet all of our needs. Signing up for a tour with them is a must. And did I mention the scenery is insanely beautiful?! Thank you Nicole, Xavier, Bill, and Franklin we will never forget our trip with you and will be telling all of our friends back home to do this!

Great day trip with Jose Manuel! One of our trip highlights so far!
He was very knowledgeable about the area and tailored the trip to our comfort level while teaching us about local history along the way and stopping for points of interest. Great English too.
We reached out to Haku at noon the day before as we were leaving Lima airport to Cusco, they were able to put together a fantastic day trip on very short notice.

We had to taxi to their office in the morning but they dropped us at our hotel at end of the day. Bikes were full suspension Kona bikes, and full face helmets, knee pads, gloves were available for us at no additional cost.

Our guide took us on Lares Trail followed by a windy trail past the Maras Salt Mines, great fun intermediate trails. We had the option of stopping for lunch or squeezing one more ride in so we elected to eat our snacks and just keep riding!

They had us back by 5:15PM as requested as we had an Inca Trail meeting that night.

We did this trip on our first day in Cusco after arriving from sea level. We were taking Diamox. We felt the altitude on the very minimal climbs but otherwise was a great way to spend a day acclimatizing before our trek! Would highly recommend!

I just finished a 10 day mountain bike trip in Ecuador with Haku and am already looking forward to my next trip. Every single day had epic riding on the best trails in Ecuador, and each day seemed more amazing than the day before. Bill and Nicole have a deep knowledge of the area and have a close connection with the local riding community. On several occasions we hooked up with a local pro rider, which not only made for some exciting riding but also provided a taste of the local mountain bike scene.

As for the trails, I was blown away by the diversity of riding here. and Haku have done an excellent job of representing this in the riding itinerary. We hit high alpine trails, rode through scree fields on the slopes of volcanoes, ripped through rocks and moon dust in the high desert, and flowed through tunnels of vegetation in the jungle. Often all in a single day. The trails here are rarely mountain bike specific trails, most of them are very old trails that have been developed and used by the local people who work the land, and you often encounter them (and their animals) as you descend the trails. I really appreciated these interactions as they offered a connection to the local culture.

Although the riding here can be very technical and advanced, the guides did an excellent job of gauging everyone’s ability and adjusting the rides accordingly. They are very helpful with riding advice and I think everyone in the group saw improvements in their riding over the course of this trip.

Logistically, everything went very smoothly and communication prior to the trip was excellent. I was very pleased with the quality of accommodations and we ate very well. Can’t recommend this highly enough and I’m looking forward to my next trip with Haku.

We just got back from a fabulous trip with Bill and Nicole. My husband loves to research and plan trips so he's very opinionated on what he would like to do and where he would like to stay. Bill and Nicole were patient with him and worked with him to plan the most amazing trip! It would not have been the same great trip without their expertise and organization. We did a combination of hiking, exploring Cusco and mountain biking. We started the trip with a relatively easy mountain bike tour to the town of Ollantaytambo. This was a great way to start our vacation. We then did the hike from KM 104 to Machu Picchu. This was perfectly planned and the guide Bill and Nicole provided was amazing. We then spent a few days in Cusco exploring. The trip highlight was our bike trip to Ausangate with Bill and Nicole. It was such a unique experience in the most stunning scenery. We relaxed in the hot springs and had a home cooked Peruvian dinner at Bill's and Nicole's friends home where we stayed. The ride was challenging but it was perfectly planned with the help of porters and snacks to sustain us through the day. In addition to the great company (Haku) they created they are just really good people and fun to spend time with! We hope to plan another trip with them in the future!

Traveling to Peru with Haku was absolutely incredible, Bill and Nic are truly amazing people and embedded in the local communities and riding scenes.

Our trip took us 10 days and gave us three unique expeditions culminating with a 3 day trip to Ausangate where we stayed with locals, rode epic terrain, saw amazing scenery and enjoyed the natural hot springs.

The riding was incredible, the scenery was amazing but what truly sets Haku apart is the people. When you travel with Bill and Nic you are part of their family and hence part of the community, they are thoroughly invested in the fabric of the community and it offers you such a candid and unfiltered view of this amazing country and the people who make it so amazing.

Not only that, they are so incredibly well organized and thoughtful about every stage of the trip. From the food, snacks, accommodations, travel, scheduling, spare gear, bike support, airport transport.... it's a DIALED program.

Going with a group of core friends was great and allowed for a really cool bonding experience during a time when it meant the most. I will always remember this trip and the people I met along the way, I cannot thank Bill and Nic enough for this experience.

Do yourself a favour and book Haku.

Our experience with Haku expeditions was amazing. Nicole, Bill, Javier and Franklin planned a great trip for us, took care of all the logistics, accommodations, transportation and everything else. We biked, hiked, went to Machu Picchu, did some birdwatching with a special guide. We also went to Ausangate for 3 magical days. We are looking forward to our next trip with the amazing team.

Went on the 11day mtb tour in Peru sacred valley / cusco. LOVED the trip. The biking was amazing (lots of variety and adaptable for different skill levels), the places were beautiful and the trip was very well organized. Our guide Xavier was perfect and able to choose trails that we loved and fit our levels. Highly recommend!

Wow, wow, wow! Incredible trip! I did the 7-day Peru mountain bike plus added 3 more days. Haku is extremely organized and communicative. Guides are amazing, terrain incredible, and experience extremely unique. Terrain and lines can be adjusted to all riding levels. I highly recommend and will be using Haku for future mountain bike, etc adventures. Thank you Nicole and Bill!

First of all, I would like to thank Nicole from Haku Expeditions for an amazing week in Peru. You have provided me with excellent service, knowledge and experience. My stay in Peru would not be the same without you!

One week in the sacred valley went by fast. I had a blast cruising down inca stairs, gnarly switchbacks, loose sections, exposed off chambers and playful singles tracks. The weather was lit, and so was the food! And the people.

I truly believe that Haku is the best provider of bike tours in the area (world?). Don’t hesitate to contact Nicole, you will not regret!

Already looking forward to next time we meet!
