Amazing bike ride to Albuquerque Balloon Festival. The Routes Bicycle Shop team did a great job of narrating and showing the local highlights along the way.

Whilst this was a nature tour, I was left wanting more history. I was hoping for a local guide. Overpriced- I've booked excellent tours through V in Amsterdam and Paris, that cost far less. Lots of very nice river trail cycling in between stops, but this does mean missed opportunities to hear any further info. Whilst the organic farm was cute, is was not historical. I'd call it a cycle ride with a bit of info thrown in. Cycle hire and a map would have been equally enjoyable.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our Guided Nature tour. I appreciate your feedback and although this is one of our most beloved bike tours, I am always looking for ways to make it even better for every guest who joins! Our bike tours are priced consistently with (and most often lower than) other tours in our local market; unfortunately, it would be hard to bid against another country's ticket price. I would like to note that the organic farm visited on the tour is in fact very historic to the area - having been originally inhabited by the Ancestral Pueblo Indians in the 14th century. The Duranes Lateral, which forms the western boundary of the farm, is reputedly the oldest registered ditch in North America. To this day, the “Madre de Duranes” provides water to irrigate those pastures. All of which is generally shared (+more) on our tour. I will definitely take into consideration adding even more historic stops onto our nature tour, and I will share your feedback with our guides. Again, thank you for your feedback. Please email me at heather(at)routesrentals(dot)com if there was a specific type of history you were most interested in hearing on the tour, which you feel was missing from the narrative. I am always happy to send over more info! :)

Rob was very knowledgeable and also very flexible when it rained. Not sure it was a nature tour but was a great tour seeing parts of Albuquerque and learning about it’s history!
