We had read reviews about Cool Runnings and seen photos of the trikes before we left the UK and thought it looked like something we would enjoy. We arrived in Caleta de Fuste late on Saturday evening and on Sunday had a walk to find the office, checked the opening times and returned first thing Monday morning to book. We chose the 4 hour tour as we have both had hip replacements and didnt know how we would feel. 9.30 on Wednesday and we were really looking forward to setting off. Russ was shown how the trike worked and had a trip around the block. At 10am once all the drivers had been put through their paces we were ready for off! The tour took in some amazing views of the island plus passed through some beautiful villages. We had enough stops that we didnt become uncomfortable but not enough to spoil the experience. A variety of road surfaces also added to the experience. Russ particularly enjoyed it when he was allowed to go faster!! On our return to the office everyone had huge grins on their faces and we all said how quickly 4hrs had gone!! This is something we would definitely do again when we return to Fuerteventura. A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE RUN BY WONDERFUL PEOPLE. Thank you.
Russ and Sally Briers.
Fantastic service, easy to book, plus an air conditioned shop : ) Tour was great fun and our guide; Dave was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. We certainly wouldn't had made the effort to see the sights if we didn't book this tour.
Highlights: Hand feeding the ravens and chipmunks, views from the mountain tops and riding the Trike. We could had stayed on the Trike for another couple of hours as it was great fun riding around on such a cool machine, although to be fair, 4 hours in the heat was probably enough! We highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits the Island, friendly staff, easy to book and a great time had by all. We thank all at Cool Runnings for a fantastic experience.
Mark O"Dell and family.
You must try this, I drove one trike and we had another that was driven for us, the driver gave commentary on what we passed and when we stopped. The ride was excellent. My wife had hurt her foot and they parked right up to places so she didnt have to walk far and could not do enough for us. Great day out for all the family, kids really enjoyed the trip and feed the crown and chipmunks.

Myself and Gordon Conway would like to thank Dave for his professionalism as our guide for our 8 hour Trike Tour on Tuesday 19th May 2015. He is so informative on the history of the island and the local attractions that we visited. The farm was really lovely to visit, I loved the goats but what was even more brilliant was "George and Mildred" - he has a great friendship with them, but most importantly, we both think that Dave is an absolute asset - he is friendly and courteous and knows his stuff. If we come back to visit the island again we will absolutely take another Trike Tour with you and hopefully have Dave as our Tour Guide again, Thank you so much for a fabulous day out.
Fiona Allen.
Did the 6 hour tour with driver Dave. Daves an excellent guide, giving us lots of local information and allowing us as much or as little time as we wanted at each stop. It was a bit gusty in places on the trike, which made it interesting but it was well worth the money. The trikes are very comfortable and Dave was a very careful and courteous driver, so there were no scary moments!
Sharon Hough.
Was looking forward to the trikes before I left home....done the 4 hour trip in May....just done the 2 hour this time as we had a 76 years young lady with us who wanted to ave a go. Her, my Wife and myself thoroughly enjoyed it...the team are very helpful and are there for you all the way, its a must do....br8ill....ave a go at driving them yourself...best way to see the mountains.....c you next time in Fuerteventura:
Mark Thomas
Absolutely fantastic day, took the 4hr tour and grinned the whole time, will definitely be doing the full day tour on our next visit. By far the best thing you can do on the Island, the whole team were brilliant even reccomending places to eat which were fantastic as well. This is a must for all, thank you very much again.
Alan Brown.
This was a surprise from my missus..and what a surprise . We rode on Spiderman. The whole experience from start to finish was superb.The staff were wonderful .Breathtaking views and easily the best tour on the island . Would recommend to all.
Ken Holden.
Excellent! Cannot describe the fun, enjoyment had by the whole family!
Both Mike and John were fabulous hosts, more than guides.
You could say one of the best highlights of our holiday, only wished we had booked a longer tour. We booked a "reserved" 4 hour tour as the girls in our family were not keen! Within minutes of setting off this all changed.
To sum it up, smiles, laughter, excitement, would recommend to everyone visiting the island, DEFINITELY!
Thanks John & Mike
PS. John, Sarah is still holding onto her helmet, and insists that you were doing 400mph!!!!
Can't stop smiling great!!!!!!
Aaron and family.
The tour was absolutely fantastic! The tour guides were polite and fun, the bikes were incredible and the views were amazing. Overall, a really pleasant experience. Definitely one of the best things I've done in my life. Would definitely recommend as something to do in Fuerteventura!
Josh Fox.
Hi All, just want to say thank you for a fantastic trip last week !! By far the best thing we did on the holiday and worth every penny. Good luck with everything going forward.
Kev and Ang (Sweden)
Thanks for a great tour, loved every minute of it. Mike- would you be able to email the photos you took (our camera died)?
Thanks again.
Graham and Tracey
London.
Just a quick thank you to John, Lynn, Trevor and Audrey for yet another great tour.
John was our guide and yet again visited parts of the island not seen before.
If you do one thing while here, do this, you will not be disappointed.
Thanks again, same time next year!
David and Angie Caton. xx
The best and most fun way to see this island. The customer service is one of the best I have had. Cannot praise it highly enough, informative and fun.
Derek Peach.
Fantastic 4hr tour! My wife and I both would go again. Fantastic views - grinned from ear to ear for the rest of the day.
Thank you.
Pat and Jackie.
We decided to take the two hour tour and decided we wanted to ride "the pink panther"....we both think the tour was by far the best excursion we have experienced in a long time. Everything was explained clearly and the trip itself was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed it, although we wished the french man riding on the same trip would speed up just a little bit! Many thanks for a great memory for both of us.
Mark and Caroline.
Well Lyn, I survived and enjoyed the tour.. must admit though it was
extremely windy and cold but u can not help the weather..think if the sun
was out and in the middle of summer I would certainly do it all again,
Jim was in element and enjoyed it very much so thanks to yourself,
John and Mike for a trip of a life time and we will certainly do it again xx
Thanks again.
Fiona & Jim Craig
Can I say a massive thank you for the 4 hour tour on Tuesday. We were on the pink panther! What a great way to finish our weeks holiday....loved the trip up the mountains and the visit to the farm what a fantastic day you gave us.
Simon Howarth.
We hired two trikes for the five of us on Monday 28th October to celebrate our youngest granddaughters 10th birthday. Our daughter Steph, driver, eldest Grandaughter Megan (disabled) & youngest Niamh on Pink Panther. My wife & I had Safari driven by Mike went on the four hour tour we all had a great time in the mountains
Thanks for the memories we will hire again when we come back to Fueteventura
Regards,
Phil Outram.
The tour we had was amazing, the scenery was awesome and the roads great to be on.
Trevor our guide for the tour was very friendly and put everyone at ease, he was also full of local knowledge on customs and traditions,which helped give us an insight into the local way of life, this all helped to make it a fantastic experience for of us .
Look forward to seeing you for another tour in the future .
Steve.
Trike ride was absolutely fantastic. Loved all of it! John was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable giving us insight into the everyday life of the locals including the goats and chipmunks. Would do it again.
Craig Wilson.
Hi just got back from yet another fantastic holiday on the island but what makes it fantastic is the tours with Coolrunnings. We went out on 2 separate 4 hour tours each time, but on the first tour we arrived in fancy dress as Superman and Wonder Women to the surprise of John, Lynn, Trevor and Audrey.
We had a great time and met some really nice people as we have done on all 4 experiences in the last 2 years and hope there will be another chance for us to have another fantastic time on the tours with cool running team Thank you so much from the SUPERHERO TEAM.
Martin, Jason, Mandy, Chelsea and Mandy Mike .
Hi everyone just a line to say thank you for everything... it was awesome
and I will be back next year with my biker babe Kathleen! Love it...will do
8 hours next time and she may even let me drive!
Thanks again, have a good one.
Gordon and Kathleen.
Dave(Essex, UK)
Encore merci à toute l'equipe cool running pour ces deux heures de decouverte en trike. Après un semaine sur fuerteventura c est absolument l'activité à ne pas manquer. Si il y a une chose à faire sur l île c'est cela passer quelques heures en trike avec une équipe hyper sympa.
Patrick Thurlure
Hi ,compelled to leave some feed back in case there are people considering a tour but a bit worried ,I was a bit to be honest ,not overly however I hadn't been on a bike for 35 years ,just as john said within a few mins I was settled and what a fantastic thing to do had the mrs and 10 year old on the back ,we all enjoyed it so much we booked again two days later ,I really didn't want to get off ,I have had bikes before loads of nice cars and had quads in Egypt but the trike in the mountains is something else and close to nature. Thank you cool running ,I will grab a flight and would do the trip to have a tour with some mates in the near future. Broke the monotony of the holiday good value for a great buzz. Peter Bacon
Having read the reviews I was really looking forward to the tour..neither hubby or myself were not disappointed! We did the 4 hour chauffeur driven tour and John, with his humour and knowledge made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Would I recommend it? Definately..this is certainly one to put on your 'must-do' list! Thanks again to John, Lyn and everyone at Cool Runnings.
Pauline & Dave.
Thanks to John, his Wife and his partner for our first ever Trike experience. Me and my Wife had a fab taster tour whilst on holiday in Caleta De Fuste treated to a six trike ride out into the mountains on some fabulous roads to the local goat farm.
We would recommend Cool Runnings to anyone who would like a new experience with the team doing everything to ensure you have a great time.
Paul & Debbie Bradley (West Midlands, England)
My Husband, myself & two friends went on a 2 hour Chauffeur driven Trike Tour, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it, we had 2 lovely drivers who were alert at all times, we had good humoured banter with them throughout the trip. They took us to a cheese making farm with lots of animals & some baby goats which were only a few days old, we were given some nuts to feed the larger goats & I even feed the camel... it was all good fun, & we enjoyed tasting the Honey Rum. I would heartily recommend trying it.
Janet.
Excellent day. Honestly can't recommend it highly enough. My wife and I went on a 4 hour tour where I drove the trike myself. Have never even been on a motorbike but this was quite straightforward. We both thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would do it again. Only thing I'd do differently is not take my jacket off, gets a bit windy for a t-shirt! Try it!!!
Jonathan Stanton.
Just to say we all had a fantastic time with you on our taster tour on Monday. The boys haven't stoppped talking about it ( and the adults too)!
Very professional from start to finish. We will most definitely be having another ride when we next visit the Island, hopefully the sun will come out next time!!
We thoroughly recommend this to everybody - it made our holiday a really special, nformative laid back afternoon. 2 hour trip good laugh trev+john, great guys made us feeL so at home want to go back to do a 4 hour trip!
Peter and Gillian Lewis.
Hi Guys, The three of us would like to thank you for the tour we took last week. We all had a great time and the trikes we're great fun seeing some lovely parts of the country, cant wait to do it again.
Take care,
Lloyd, Isabella and Harry.
Hi John, Lyn, Trevor, Audrey and Mark,
Just wanted to thank you personally for a great trip on 8th March. Brilliant to be back out on the trikes but still didn't seem long enough at 4 hours! Got back to UK early hours of Sunday morning last week and went straight back into boring work and adjusting to the cold weather. We have in fact woken up to some snow this morning :(
Hope all went well John and Lyn on your trip back to UK and I assume that you are now proud grandparents to your new grandson so many congratulations to you both. Honestly John you really do not look old enough to be a grandad.........I hope that this makes up for the fact that I didn't jump in when you told me you would soon be collecting you bus pass lol.
It was a pleasure to meet Trevor and Audrey. Marshall loved being on the trike with Trevor and still hasn't stopped talking about it. Also Trevor if you ever decide to visit the Isle of Sheppey again then please let us know and we would only be too happy to show you around, (especially if you came with one of the trikes :)
We were sorry to have missed Mark as he was there on our first visit but hope that he is pleased to be back. I think he picked the right time considering the weather.
Anyway really just wanted to thank you all for such a great time, it was lovely to see you all and hope to do so again.
Love from
The Perkins ....Rhys, Kim, Murin (yes thats correct John lol.....born to near normal father but eccentric mother lol) and Marshall. xxxxx
Excellent as ever. Real thrill. Professional service. Great views. Lovely friendly drivers. A must or you will regret.
Simone Chenery
Hi, we would like to thank you for our wonderful trip last week(5th March).
The kids have not stopped talking about it and are now telling all their school friends.
We would definately recommend the trikes to anyone holidaying in Fuerteventura.
Many thanks.
The Risby Family
We had a lovely morning out with 'the Delightful Dave' last week - Master 7 stated it would be the best day of our holiday and he wasn't disappointed. Neither were we. Thank you so very much for accommodating us and making the whole process so easy. Wishing you every success in the future.
Steve and Mary
We had a fantastic time Lynda and I did the 4 hour tour. We went on the spider trike, driven by Trevor. Even though I am disabled it was no problem at all. Trevor was brilliant. When we stopped at the pit stops he parked by the entrance so I didn't have to walk far because I didn't have my wheelchair. I would like to say a huge thank you for the team and all the work that went into making it a great day. Also thank you for the use of the allen key to fix my chair.You are a great team and would recommend this to all our friends . It was a complete change to not being in the car and being hot and sticky.
Diane Edworthy.
We had a great day , got to see lots of the island we would not have seen, and it was better out on the trikes than stuck in a hot car or coach for hours. We hoping to go again this year and will definately be booking to do this again. Thanks Jon Lyn & Mark and a happy new year, have a good one.
Bob and Tina.
We had a 4hr stint with John, me and the Misses and a Polish couple, we had the yellow trike... the pipes were amazing - what a sound! Being a biker no cluch on the bars was weird but ok after 5 mins ok lol!!!! John was a cool guy he knew his stuff. The roads were amazing biker citty [love to take my own] went to goat farm met Rambo [big dood] the views were breathtaking. Flatout on the way back!!..... you got to do the tour. Best day of the whole holiday!!!!
Thanks John you made my day.
Will and Jen (aka big guy]
My partner & I had an amazing time in Caleta de Fuste, we found Cool Runnings through TripAdviser as I was searching for things to do when on the island of Fuerteventura and this was one of the best! First stop on the tour we stopped at a small coffee shop and had refreshments and then it was time to move on further up the into the mountains and when we stopped at a car park, John started whistling and calling for the chipmunks to come out from their hiding places and all of a sudden 2 Ravens flew down and landed on the wall and John fed them some monkey nuts... these were wild birds that John has made friends with, he calls them George & Mildred.
Third stop was a goat farm where we tried various cheeses and some honey rum which was very nice indeed. Anyway this was just a small write up about these fabulous tours so if you want to have fun and check out the scenery and parts of the island you won’t see if you stay by the pool then this is the trip for you.
We took the four hour tour which was fantastic but on our next visit we will be booking one of the longer ones|
Thank you John & Lyn for such a fantastic experience.
Duncan & Shell
Thanks to John for a great ride-out on the six hour trike ride around the south of the island, we all had a great day. I would advise anyone going to the island to definitely give this a go.
Thanks to Lyn for sorting out my mistake before I'd even left Bristol! (think we will keep that to ourselves!).
Thanks again.
Max, Jud, Zoe and Zenden.
Thanks to the great team at Cool Runnings (John, Lynn and Mark) for giving us a fantastic day out. Mark was very Knowledgeable and ensured that we were safe at all times. On our trip the Chip Monk’s never came out to play, but the ride through the mountains was fantastic. When we return to the Island we will certainly be doing another trip with Cool Running’s on their fantastic Trikes.
Great team great day out.
Thanks from SSS ( Steve, Sandra, Sam)
Took the 8 hour tour with Mark, Best thing to do on the island without a doubt.
Mark Kirton.
BRILLIANT!!! This was our honeymoon treat and we can't say enough about how fantastic this tour is! Thank you especially to John who drove us on our 4 hour tour, great company, easy-going and very accommodating. Your local knowledge is excellent and visiting places like the cheese farm made the trip even more fun. The trikes are amazing, they're comfortable, the views are fab, a totally different experience. Both being bikers of course we especially liked the 'speedy' parts of our journey! What a blast!! A must do!!! :-) X
Steven and Maxine Anderson
We enjoyed the tour very much. It was a fun way to see some of the island and we will definitely do it again when we come back to the island. Lovely scenery and very picturesque. Our guide , Mark , was extremely pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. He was full of information on the island and this made the tour very enjoyable. Thanks for a lovely time and hope to visit you again soon.
Brian and Hayley Lacey.
Thanks John for a wonderful 2 hour tour up the mountains. It really made the holiday special for me and will def be back sooon, hasta Jack
Jack Macken, Lanzarote.
This was definitely the highlight of our hols. I can't praise Mark and John highly enough. Even though I'm a chauffeur myself I'm so jealous that i can't drive these bikes every day! I was with 5 friends and even though we did the 4hr trip our biggest regret was not doing the 8hr one!
If you need a tour guide please call me first!!
Many thanks again.
"big" Steve Bolger and friends.
Thanks to you all.
Regards Stuart & Jackie.
This is our second time so we should have known better. Firstly you will end up with HELMET HAIR! This seemed to be more of an issue for my wife than myself. Secondly you will end up with a GRIN LIKE A CHESHIRE CAT! Coupled with the wind and sun in your face this can cause PREMATURE FACE WRINKLYNESS! On balance this probably is not too great a sacrifice for us chaps to make. So in summary, just put your foot down and say "YOU'RE GOING!" in that commanding and authoritive style she allows you to use from time to time ........ AND BOOK NOW!
Thanks for a good day out Mark ... See you next spring!
Piet Reynolds.
Thanks again to John and Lynn. Had another great trip.Mark, as always was a great guide, his knowledge of the island is very impressive. It was good to see a different part of the island.The best yet.
All the best, hope to see you all next year
Dave and Angie xx

Greetings from Luxembourg,
Just wanted to tell you that our driver, Steve was very nice. He drove extremely well, not grandma and not daredevil. After we informed him that we had been to the island numerous times he told us many things about the island that we did not know, more interesting details. My wife is still talking about the tour with all her friends. Also, we rented bicycles from you earlier in the week and wanted to let you know they were in good repair and we look forward to taking another tour and renting bicycles in the future. Thanks again,
David and Nancy.
We did the 4 hour ride, but next time we want to be out all day! Thanks for an amazing experience.
We would like to say a massive thank you for a great day out, Mark was a great guide for the day he deserved that pint after a day with us! You have very good and well organised business, I would recommend you to anybody visiting the island, we will differently have another day out with you when we come back, it may be a couple of years but we will be back!!!!!!!
Steve Gibbons.
The best thing iv done on a holiday Eva!!!! Simply stunning and the guide is fab too :) u will not regret it!!!!!!
Laura Botfield.
Dave and Carol Kennedy.
Hola, John and Lynn I told you we would be back!!!! LOL. 3 times now in Ventura, and 3 times on the trike tour!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!
Yet again another great ride up to the top of the mountain, with John being our leader, Anita, Conaill and myself where at the back of the posse. Great day was had by all again a big thank you to both of you!!! Must get that t-shirt I promised myself (kindly donated by cool runnings) when we return for our 4th trip!!! C U SOON HOPEFULLY.
See you soon.
JACKIE & WAYNE.
Thanx guys. wot a fantastic way to c the island and the only way. keep up the good work :-)
Fantastic time, we booked at the last minute and thanks to the lady in the office (sorry for forgetting your name) but we are so grateful for all she did to get my partner Pete and our 3 girls (not the wife lol) on the 2 hour tour.
Still talking about it now! Made a special ending to our holiday. Steve and John are two really nice guys and have the best job going! Cant praise them enough they were brilliant- fantastic views and talked through the tour,can't wait to come again ,will be seeing them soon for the longer tour!
We recommend to everyone to try this.
Thanks agaiin..

Had the 4 hour tour from Coralejo, and was fantastic, Our tour guide was brilliant. A superb experience, felt like a scene from easy rider. A short down pour soaked us but we were dry by the time we got back.......loved it.
David Buchan.
John was a superb guide and has a fantastic knowledge of the Island. Riding the trike was great fun, and it didn't take long to get used to the controls. The tuition from John was clear and concise, and the test drive certainly put me at ease. I think almost anyone could ride/drive one of these. My wife who is a normally a nervous passenger in a car and on a motorbike said she absolutely loved it and felt relaxed the whole time. The tour was undoubtedly, the highlight of our holiday. Also a mention for Lynn in the office who was super efficient with the administration. John and Lynn made us feel like friends rather than customers.
I would just like to thank you and Steve for an absolutely fantastic experience last Tuesday (30th November). Our whole party really enjoyed ourselves (we are still talking about it now!!) and would recommend Steve and yourselves to any potential visitors.
Thank you to everyone.
Thanks Jeff and Linda.
Just a quick thank you for the wonderful day we had on 10th November. Mark took us to El Cotillo for the two hour taster tour. It was a fabulous place and we went back several times thereafter. He is a great guy and very informative, he told us lots about the island and its people. My father-in-law who is 76 and my son who is 20 cant stop talking about it and I will be recommending you to all my friends.
On this beautiful Sunday, Steve took us for a trip to El Cortillo and Betancuria. We were his only guests and the three of us had a great time. Steve knows a lot about the island and is very pleasant company. During coffeebreak we found out that Steve is an enthusiastic owner of a Ducati and as my husband and I both ride a Harley Davidson, we had very interesting conversations during lunchtime. The triketour was excellent, Steve is a very good guide and a nice man and we enjoyed the trip and the island very much. It was our first time at Fuerteventura and also our honeymoon.
The "old" honeymooners from Holland.
Thank you all so much for this amazing trip! We saw so much of the island and what views! Our daughter, Karen, arranged the trip and it was one of the best things I have ever done and I am 60! Steve was our driver and he is so careful, kind and considerate. John, you must keep him!!
Thank you again and we will be back for more someday.
Jacky and Tony.
Just like to say thanks to you all for a great trip on Tuesday, although the weather was slightly inclement I would like to thank Mark for taking us and also for his information on the people and the culture of the Island. Hopefully next time we will be in sunshine and try a dry tour.
Stuart, Jackie, Corrin & Terry.
Thank you so much, it made our holiday.
Karen Newell.
My husband, my sons Kyle and Kieran and myself had the best day of our holiday when we went on your trip . The boys loved it and since we got back home they tell everyone they meet all about it .
I would like to thank you both again for making our day out with you special.
The Davidson family x
What a fantastic experience, a day we will never forget. Mark was brilliant and very informative. We wanted to have another go the next day!! We will definitely be back! Thank you.
Martin, Janice and Lance Boyle
What a fantastic way to spend a day! My 14 year old son now accepts that his dad is way cooler than he ever knew! (Actually, I would like to think I was cooler than Peter Fonda for those that can remember "the" movie.. picture proof to follow!) We spent 6 hours touring the island on Americano with Mark our (very competent) guide on White Lightning leading the way. We cruised along deserted roads, climbed mountain passes and took in the scenery and atmosphere in a way that just couldn't happen in an enclosed vehicle. I just couldn't stop grinning - I'm still picking the flies off my teeth. The best day out I think I have ever had - thanks guys!
What a fantastic experience!!. We booked the 4 hour tour, and would have booked the longer one if I'd have know how much we would enjoy it. Even my 7 year old little boy wanted to book another one. Not only are the trikes great fun, but you get to see a lot of the Island too. Will definitely be booking another tour if we return next year!!
Thanks again.

Mark and the Pink Panther was the best part of our holiday. My daughter and I really enjoyed the 4 hour trip and Mark was great, showing us all the sights that the island has to offer including the chipmunks. I would recommend this to anyone. Many, many thanks.
We thought we you may like to add these pics to your gallery or website and credit us for taking the photos. We found the tour absolutely fantastic and an experience that we will never forget. The views and scenery was amazing and the staff were so friendly and very informative which altogether made this whole experience a complete enjoyment.
Andy Short and the gang- over from Lanzarote.
Attached piccies as promised. Many thanks for a most enjoyable day. I'm glad Sonia wouldn't let me drive. With Mark driving and doing the tour commentary, I saw much more than I would otherwise have done. Great day in enjoyable company. Certainly recommended.
Hi, Just a note to say a big thanks for fitting us in at short notice on a 2 hour tour a few Saturdays ago. I, my wife and our 2 Boys had a GREAT run out, way too short of course, when we come back it will be the Maxi Tour for sure ! Attached is a pic of us ready for the off. Thanks again.

Fantastic trip. Had 6 hour trip from Corralejo and found it to be very enjoyable and interesting. Would recommend it to anyone as a trip of a lifetime. Thanks to all for your help.
Ed and Chris McTernan. IRELAND.
Went on the four hour tour with my family and had a brilliant time would recommend a trike tour to anyone going to Fuerteventura on a holiday. A big thank you to John and Lyn - will book a longer tour when on holiday to the island again!
Mark Nute and family.
Absolutely loved the whole experience, would recommend it to everyone, any age , bike lover or not, driving or being driven! It was the best way to see the island and I dont think can be beaten! Thanks John and Lyn.
Theresa Harris
Absolutely Fabulous......,The guide was great and took us to places we would never have found ourselves plus he had insider knowledge of the island that you just wouldn't get on another tour. One of our best days out ever as a family.
Can't wait to return to the island so that we can do the 8 hr tour.
Simon and family.
We did the 6hr south island tour with Mark as our Guide. This was definitely the best part of our holiday and we can't recommend it highly enough. It is an absolutely amazing experience and such a great way to see the island. Mark was very relaxed and knowledgeable and was an excellent guide. The day felt so relaxed but yet we seemed to fit in so much in the 6 hours. The trikes are a really unique driving experience and something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. Thanks to everyone at Coolrunnings for a great experience and we hope to see you again sometime in the future. All the best.
Alden & Eimear (Glasgow)
Thank you for a fantastic day on the trikes!!!!
Me, my husband and 2 children, aged 11& 14 went on the 4 hour ride to Ajuy and it was absolutely fantastic !!!! My husband rode a three seated trike and our guide Mark chauffeured one passenger. The views are breathtaking and we learnt a vast amount about the area and the Island from our guide, who was very knowledgeable and knew the answers to all our questions. We will definitely be booking again next year –

Tour was fantastic, wish I'd booked for a longer one or another one before my holiday ended. Brilliant experience to drive the trike, good route with some fantastic views. Loved every minute. Mark was a brilliant guide, good instruction before leaving and choc full of information about the island, tell him I owe him a KFC if he ever visits Newcastle on any of his trips back to the UK! Lyn and John have a superb business and anyone who goes should do one of their tours, it's an experience not to be missed. If I return to Fuerteventura for another I holiday I will do a longer tour without a doubt,I'll save more money especially! In fact I wish I could have a job there......pleeeaaaassseeee??????
Amy (AKA Michael Schumacher)
The 2 hour was very good and John was a excellent guide but the time just went too quickly. So we booked the 8 hour for couple of days later. Mark was our guide on this day, he was also a excellent guide, very informative throughout the tour and great fun to be with.
Both myself and my friend John who came with me loved the tours so much that John is now thinking of buying a trike himself but English roads wont be as good fun as it is out there. I am sure when I'm next back over, one of the first things I will do is book a tour again. It was lovely to meet you all and we will be telling anyone who comes over to book a tour as its not to be missed by anyone. Take care.

I've known John and Lynne since they bought Cool Runnings, they are lovely people and always professional. I always recommend friends who visit the island to go on the trikes and all of them without exception say it's been the best day of their holiday. My daughter has even told me she will only come back to visit if she goes on the trikes :)
Did the four hour trip to the west of the Island. Mark was our tour guide, knowledgeable but relaxed. Saw some great parts of the island, the view from the observatory is breathtaking. This was our second tour, did the two hour last year. If we go back next year, would like to do a six hour one.
Definately worth doing one of these tours.
Sue and daughter Jade, There really is NO BETTER WAY TO SEE THE ISLAND. If you go to Fuerteventura and dont do this tour, you are crazy, its like 'going to Vegas and not going to see the Grand Canyon'!!
Booked to go back at Christmas again - the first thing I will do when I get there is to pop in to Cool Runnings and book another trip !!! Thanks again!
Ian, Sue and Jade.
You must branch out to some differnt countries so we can do the trikes again (and we would) Rob just loves driving them and Matt would if he could....
Maybe a franchise system would work, you could be worldwide, as big as McDonalds one day (never say never!)

When considering a holiday to Fuerteventura I watched a Sky holiday advert on TV and the programme showed your trikes so this was placed on my "to do" list. I found the booking process friendly, efficient and was carried out in a swift and hassle free manner. I was given the magnificent "yellow peril" to drive and before we set off, Mark the tour leader thoroughly inculcated the "trikees" to the trike controls and road rules and, in my case, due to my rusty motorbike skills, gave me encouragement to overcome my apprehension and lack of confidence. Apart from Marks excellent pre-tour training, his knowledge of Fuerteventura and its environs were truly remarkable - his explanations were genuinely interesting and valuable. I opted for the 2 hour tour which travelled through the villages and mountains visiting the observatory where there were absolutely stunning views. Driving the trike was the most thrilling and exhilarating adverture I have undertaken for a very long time - it was total fun and enjoyment from start to finish.
Jim and Clare.
We can't recommend you highly enough - the trips were great fun, your knowledge of the area was brilliant, great to 'meet' George, and the scenery was fantastic, A trip not to be forgotten, thanks again.
Jackie and Ted.
Ian & Mags Duncan.
What a fantastic fun way to see the island! My husband and I took the 4 hour tour and were lucky enough to have John as the guide all to ourselves. It was easily the best part of our holiday - could not recommend it enough to everyone.
Thanks to all for such a great time.
Lyn Dolman.
The tour was great, couldnt be better! The views were amazing and the staff are wonderful. Gonna come back and give it another go I think!! Thanks for everything.
Mike, Michelle (who wasnt going to go!) Josh and Aiden.
One hell of an experience if you have never driven a trike before. Fantastic experience driving through the mountains and around the island seeing sights that you would never see unless you were out on the road. All guides had good knowledge of the island. Arrangements and booking was easy to do. Thanks for making our holiday a trip to remember.... will be back for another tour guaranteed!!
Die Einweisung von Marc wie mit dem Trike zu fahren ist sowie die gesamte Organisation der Tour war perfekt. Wir hatten eine 6h Tour gebucht. Die Pausenzeiten wie z.B. das Mittagessen in einem Fischlokal in Ajuy waren optimal im Verhältnis zu der reinen Fahrtzeit. Wir können das Triketeam Cool Runnings ohne Einschränkung weiter empfehlen. Nochmals herzlichen Dank an Lyn für den netten Email-Kontakt zwecks Buchung von Zuhause aus und herzlichen Dank an Marc unseren Guide.Viele Grüße an das gesamte Triketeam.
(As anticipated, the trike tour was an absolutely wonderful experience for us. It was our first time on a trike but certainly not the last time! We hope to be safely back with Cool Runnings, perhaps as early as next year. The driving instruction from Mark and the entire organization of the tour was perfect. We booked the 6 hour tour. The pause time e.g. lunch at a fish restaurant in Ajuy was optimal in relation to the pure drive. We can recommend the trike team Coolrunnings without restriction. Again sincere thanks to Lyn for the nice email contact at home and organising the internet booking. Many many thanks to our guide Mark. Many greetings to the entire Trike Team).
Sylvia and Uwe.(Germany)
Andy and family.
The tour made our holiday thanks guys and a big thank you to Mark for not driving too fast so we could see the whole of the island!
Nigel and Lynda Klak.
I've got some excellent photos and videos that I'll send you for your website and I've attatched my favourite with this email. I'm using it as my screen saver at home and every time I switch on it makes me smile. I've got Coolrunnings to thank for that.
Especially want to say thanks for packing up my wheelchair so I could appreciate the views at that beautiful spot we stopped off at.
Fantastic experience. The only way to see the island :)
Alan and Karen Kirkland.
Thanks for pulling out all the strings to arrange this around our schedule, really appreciated. Had a fantastic trip, a great driver, we'll be back for more!
The ONLY way to see the island :-)
Simon Webb.
My wife and I loved the tour. When we come back to Fuerteventura we will definately be touring on a trike again! I'll send somephotos to you in the next week. Thank you to everyone at Coolrunnings for a very memorable trip.
Scott.
Just wanted to mail you to say thanks a million for a great tour. We both really enjoyed it. We will definitely book this again next time we are over with the kids! Definately the highlight of our week!
Gareth.
Well, what can I say.... it surpasses expectations every time!! We did the 8 hour this time, and I can honestly say there is no better way of seeing the island. When they say "simply the best" I would agree every time. If you are only doing one excursion on the island, make it this one, you will not be disappointed.
Colin James.
Just wanted to pass on a message of thanks from us both for a really memorable trip last Friday. It was great to be in John's safe and experienced hands - although I initially regretted not taking the drivers seat, once we got up to the mountain roads I was glad to be able to relax and admire the views! John's insights and quips as we travelled were also very interesting and we both thought the route was very well planned, with just the right balance between travelling and stops at places of interest. The 80km/h drive back was Ollie's highlight, it almost literally left us 'hanging onto our hats!'
Lynda & Marcel
We only did 2 hours but left us hungry for more. Beautiful trikes and Mark just let you get on with it- letting you drive the trike instead of telling you how to drive it. Brilliant tour I just wished I had taken a longer one!
Tony and Jane Pearce.
Terry, Lilianne, Matthew and Emma x
Once again thank you so very much for such a wonderful and memorable day. We haven't stopped going on about it since the day we got back! I have already been looking into getting my own Rewaco trike (once i can get Dianes blessing haha!) anyway here are just a few pictures that we took, hope you like them. Take good care and we will certainly be joining you again for another tour!
FANTASTIC DAY, we loved every minute of it. We wish now we had done it in the first week as we would have certainly gone back in the second week for a longer tour. My husband was amazed with driving the trike, he thought it was a great day (in fact the best day of our holiday, a super experience) our son loved it too. The best way to get out and about on an island of such beauty, with fantastic views. We didnt miss a thing. With the road beneath us, the wind in our hair and a real feel of freedom. Would do it again any day.
T, Rob and Robbie.
Absolutely fantastic....want 2 go back! Made our holiday! Worthseeing! Would go again definately. John, Lyn n Mark fantastic people. Only been back home 2 days and been to travel agents 2 book again cos got dts - need another tour! (Did three tours in all - such a great way to see island!) Lovely family run business. Recommend this 2 everyone, especially families. THE BEST & ONLY WAY 2 SEE THE ISLAND!!!!
Our hosts were excellent; friendly, helpful and inviting. There was no hard sell, if we were not happy we could walk away. Our first tour was chauffeured which made us come back for a self drive tour! Our chauffeur was excellent; informative, friendly and considerate. We saw and found out about many parts of the island we would not have necessarily experienced. My wife and I are both bikers but trikes are another experience altogether.
Thank you again Cool Runnings!
This was the first time I had been on any sort of motorcycle........absolutely brilliant. Mark our guide was wonderful, we had a brilliant time
Jim, Barbara and Nathan Donnelly.
So thank you John and Lynne you made Maddies birthday!!
What can we say..... AWESOME! NOT TO BE MISSED!
We took the 2 hour tour which took us sightseeing across the island and up the mountain Mirador Morro Velosa which has a fantastic 360 view. Mark, our chauffeur and guide was very helpful, making sure our tour was comfortable and informative, with facts about the island and sights we took in, and exciting too!
Mitch came along for the thrilling trike ride and I came along mainly for the sightseeing but hey that was some tour! Mitch wanted to go again the next day!
Carol and Mitch.

Coolrunnings is exactly what it is - cool to do and runs like a dream. My wife and I did the 6 hour tour for our 30th wedding anniversary and my birthday -the day was fantastic and exciting from start to finish, and the scenery was breath taking. Nothing was to much trouble for Coolrunnings -Lyn John and Mark are excellent people to be with, they make every one feel at ease with the trikes, their knowledge of the island is excellent, their trikes are in excellent condition and safety is the top priority. We cannot wait to go back and go on another tour as the day went too quickly but the photos and memories we will always be with us.
So if you love excitement and wind in your hair with lots of fun we are pleased to recommend this tour to everyone. It is well worth the money and the experience. It will be the best thing you can do on the island.
Once again thank you Coolrunnings for making our day and our holiday.
Roger and June.
Avril and Steve.
All I can say is fantastic!! The 6 hour tour from Corollejo was brilliant, best bit of holiday. Mark was superb, very informative, regular stops of local interest & refeshment breaks. Trike was easier than I thought it might be as I have never had a motorbike, been a car user all my life. All four of us had a fantastic time, thanks again.
Pete Barnes and family.
As we both said on the day, it was a fantastic experience and one that we would definitely like to repeat on returning to the island.
Stopping off at Ajuy was well worth while and the scenery along the whole trip was absolutely brilliant. If we were recommending any trip to anyone else it would be the four hour trip because it allows you to take in a lot more of the island in and appreciate the culture from the villages we passed through. We look forward to another trip when we visit again at some point in the future.
Gwyn and Sally.
We went with Stewart (birthday boy!) and Lorraine (from the telly). Great day out. John, Lyn and Mark cool hosts. 4 hour tour gave us the best views on the island. Recommend you do it and enjoy the 'air through your hair'.
John, Lindsey and Tom.
For anyone reading this our message is simple: If you want to still feel alive- do the tour!! All the best!,
Stewart & 'Lorraine from the telly!' .
Just wanted to thank you both so much for an unforgettable experience. We must confess, we felt pretty nervous before the tour, as we were unsure if our boys ( aged 3 and 5 years) were just too young. Our minds were soon put at rest when John ,(who has the patience of a saint), gave us the expert tuition in the car park prior to our trip. We all loved it, and the views from the mountains were spectacular. John was informative and fun, and went at the pace we wanted. Next time we are on the 'windy island' we will certainly book again. All the best.
Jill, Shaun and the boys x
I booked this months before I went on holiday as my friend had hired a trike whilst he was in Caleta and raved about it for weeks.
Service from then on was fabulous, with Lyn and John emailing regularly to update me on how the weather was doing and any information I asked for regarding the tour and the resort in general, which was great.
On the day, my boyfriend and I had a fab time. We went on the four hour Ajuy tour, which took us to some amazing remote spots on the island. Our guide, Mark was fabulous and had loads of local knowledge, providing a great insight into the local people and their unique culture.
I would highly recommend "Cool Runnings" to anyone visiting Fuerteventura as it was the highlight of our brilliant holiday.
Tracy and Graeme..
Hearing a lot about the trikes in Fuerteventura we could'nt wait to try them! So we waited until the 2nd day when it was Jans birthday, and what a brilliant day it was.
The four hour tour took us to Ajuy on the west side of the island. Mark, who was our guide was very informative. The scenery was fantastic and the roads are first class. Needless to say after we got back, it did'nt take us long to decide that we wanted to do it again! So on our last day we toured the north to Corralejo,when we did get a bit wet but it was still fun. These 2 four hour tours were the highlight of the holiday.
We would like to give many thanks to John, Lyn and Mark for making our holiday so very enjoyable and for their friendliness.
Highly recommended.
Bob and Jan (Plymouth)
How lucky am I? Hot FM recently ran a competition the prize for which was a trike tour with Cool Runnings. No, I didn’t win but I know Bob and Ruth who did and, lovely couple that they are, they let me come along as their driver.
Fortunately they are here long term so were able to wait out the atrocious weather we´ve been having recently and off we set on Saturday 7th February all giddy and excited. It was a dry and sunny day but a little bit windy.
Safety first is the name of the game so we met up at the Bahia Real Hotel here in Corralejo for familiarization with the controls of the trikes which are based on a Volkswagen and have features of both car and motor bike. Each driver then had a “test drive” around the block with Mark, our tour guide, as a passenger to make sure we were comfortable driving and then it was helmets on and off we set!
Bob Ruth and I were on the “Americana” trike - all stars and stripes and admiring looks as we tootled up and down the strip in a three trike convoy before hitting the open road. I was a little nervous as you are driving any unfamiliar vehicle, but soon got the feel of it.
Our tour took us through Villaverde and La Oliva both of which were positively lush with greenery – some consolation for the rainfall - it was quite springlike. A quick stop to admire the unusually verdant mountains and a bit of local knowledge from Mark then off to El Cotillo.
I had checked with my passengers that they were happy to let me open up the throttle (YES!!) and did just that on a couple of the longer straight runs – exhilarating to say the least. Loved it – what a buzz!!
Being on a trike gives a very different perspective of the drive – quite apart from the fact that everyone you pass smiles and waves at you - not only does it feel that you are going much faster (what with the wind in your hair and all that) but also you pick up smells as you travel. Mark insists that he can tell what type of animal it is if he passes roadkill - too much information thank you Mark!..Fortunately for us it was the scent of spring flowers we were picking up – more consolation for our wet winter.
A stop off at the lighthouse out by the lagoons then into El Cottillo itself for a welcome cup of coffee not to mention another opportunity to pose with our beautiful machines. We came back through Lajares and after a final strut up the strip reluctantly handed back the keys.
I can´t thank Ruth and Bob enough for letting me share their wonderful prize and be their driver for the tour. I want to do it again soon and for longer!
Eileen.
We would highly recommend this tour as it was a great day out.
The trikes were excellent. From booking on the internet with Lyn to getting there and meeting both Lyn and John was all very straightforward.
The tour was great and John was a brilliant guide and a really good guy. Thanks to both of them for a really great time.
Phill and Lyn Lyth
Well, I would just like to say that we were here for two weeks and the day we went on the trikes was the best day for us! We did the 4 hour tour and it was absolutely wicked! Me, my husband and two children really enjoyed it!! My chauffeur John was lovely - he told me loads about the island and my husband drove the other trike which he thought was great. If we ever go back to Fuerteventura, we will definately go on the trike tour again - a great day out for all the family! Thanks again!
Angie Taylor and family.
Hi John and all at Cool Runnings. First of all let me wish you all the best. Apart from the weather on our trike tour, the day was brilliant, I recommend it to anyone!
Once again John,thanks for a fab day.
Tony {Plymouth Devon}
Mark met us first thing and was very informative about the trikes , we set off on our adventure. We stopped off along the way for the tourist info chat ( Mark you did a fab job).We then made our way up through the mountains with a few stops. The views were tremendous and as you can see I took loads of pictures. Mark was a very informative and friendly tour guide and made our day one to remember.
We only wish that we could do it all again.
Thank you to the whole team for a great experience.
Clive and Stephanie.
Great day! - anyone who wants to really see the island should do this. The guide was fantastic. Everyone should do something they wouldnt normally experience back home - one of the best highlights of our holiday.
Dave and Lyn Walker.
This tour was one of the best things I've ever done. I was a bit scared of driving on the wrong side of the road for the first time but Mark the tour guide put me at ease. My wife and my 9 year old son loved it also. If you do not try this tour you will miss out on a great experience. We were taken up into the mountains around the Island. The views we saw will live with me forever. My son and wife enjoyed feeding the chipmunks and ravens on one of the mountains. If you want to see more of the Island this is the tour to take because you go through little towns where you can get the full flavour of Fuerteventura. I enjoyed the tour so much that my family and I re-booked for the following week. If you holiday here the trikes are a "must do". Would highly recommend doing this to anyone and will definitely do again on any future trips.
I would like to thank you all at Cool Runnings for a great holiday experience we loved every minute of it and will do it again when we visit the Island (even though we did it TWICE-it still wasnt enough!) Since coming home it has not stopped raining -we miss the sun and the quiet that the Island offers. Thanks again.
Andy, Maz and Bailey.
Paul Young and family.
Can only say what a fantastic trip this was - in fact it was soooooo good we went twice! Worth every penny. The 2 hour trip was the most amazing journey, stopping on top of a mountain with a view to die for, takes your breath away. The second trip was 4 hours and we went to a fishing village and also fed the Ravens. Saw so much of this wonderful island, cannot think of a better way to see what most tourists dont get to see. Cannot recommend this trip enough, a great journey for all the family. Also John, Lyn and Mark who own the company are also the tour guides are really nice easy going people that made us feel well looked after and special.
Clive, Lynn, Dean, Vic and Jack.
I went on the tour with my Dad, Stepmum and Step Sister. It was the best thing that I have done so far in that country. The tour gives you a true taste of Fuerteventura and what it is really like beyond the tourism parts of the island. You see what it is like to live there and how people live their lives. I found this amazing because you learn all this and more on just a 4 hour tour. I think it is worth going to the country just to do this tour, that is how much I enjoyed it! I strongly recommend it and it
is a definate must if you are going there.
Thanks for a wicked time Cool Runnings. See you next year!
Sam.
WOW what can I say but a big thank you. We had the ride of our life. The views, the chipmunks and our chauffeur Mark. My daughter aged 7 and I felt very safe with him. She enjoyed the Pink Panther trike. The rest of my family enjoyed it too.
We will be recommending it to our friends and family. Again thank you.
Kerry Hudson (and extended family!).
June and David Stewart.
I'd just like to thank your team for putting together an amazing and memorable experience during my trip to Fuerteventura. It is by far the best day I had out there. Certainly no better way to experience such a beautiful island. If I could give one piece of advice to anyone considering it, it is to do it early on in your holiday because you'll almost certainly want to go out again. Lyn and the team treated us like royalty and I look forward to doing it again soon. How about a 12+ hour sunrise/sunset trip guys? You know it makes sense!!
Olly Edgell.
We took the 4 hour tour, and my only real regret is that I didnt take the 8 hour one..... it was a fantastic day. There was three trikes on our tour, four including Mark's(the guide) and where do I start about him - he was brilliant, from the first initial explanation on how to ride and safety aspect, to the tour itself. He helped to make a fantastic day even better, I cant praise him enough. I would recommend this tour to everyone!
Colin James.
Thanks to all the trike team for the memories! We had the 4 hour trip over the mountains. Myself and partner Claire took the Americano, and our tour guide took the Pink Panther. It was the highlight of our hols. We have already told all our friends about it.
Fantastic!!! just about sums it up.....
Adrian & Claire
Myself and my girlfriend had the best time ever on our tour! I especially enjoyed the whole experience of driving the trike, something I will always remember and I will be telling all my friends and family bout my experience. Thank you so much
for our tour!!
Martin McDonald.
This was one of the best times we have ever had on a holiday! The tours are fantastic, the views up in mountains were breathtaking and our guide was great. We are looking forward to going back to do the full island tour as soon as we can! Thank you for a great holiday.
Rocky and Bronwen.
We were so pleased you decided to allow us to do the Ajuy tour on Saturday especially as we were flying home later in the day, John and Mark were the perfect hosts. The sights we saw as we passed through village and mountains were superb and the photo opportunities were numerous. As there were five people in our party the youngest 15 the eldest 72yrs (my mother-in-law ) the four hours passed so quickly and we all enjoyed it so much. It was definately the best tour of our holiday and we all felt that we really got great value and cant wait to visit and book tours with you again. I have already informed most of our family and friends that if they go to Fuerteventura if they only do one tour/excursion then get to cool runnings!! We have lots to remember! Thank you all so much.
John, Vivien, Jade, May(72yrs) and Gillian.
We took the 4 hour tour last week and it was definately worth every penny. From booking with Lyn to the actual tour itself, it was all very friendly and professional. My husband drove the trike and took to it like a duck to water (and now actually wants to own his own trike, not to mention wanting a job with you guys!) We had a a fantastic guide and was very friendly and informative. The highlight had to be when he whistled to the ravens and they came over to be hand fed by us all. The scenery was amazing up in the mountains and all the lovely villages along the way. Our teenage kids loved it too. A trip for all ages we think. Once again, many thanks.
Tracy, Jase, Loz and Nikki.
Thanks for a real highlight of our holiday! You were a star getting all 7 of us accommodated! We had a great tour guide...very chilled, knowledgeable and chatty. The tour was such good fun and we loved the views from the mountain top...Joe guessed what the contraption was by the cafe! But nothing could beat the feeling of the wind in your hair as you blasted along!! If we ever get back to the island, we will definitely look you up for another tour.
Many, many thanks,
Lianne Lever and the gang!
Wowee,this is BRILLIANT! Our guide was fab, James and Lyn in office too! My wife never been on anything like this, now wants me to get one, had the best day of our jollies spent on a trike .....guys thanks again, the best day ever- the trikes are awesome too!!
James n Marion.
Hi - I wanted to say thanks on behalf of all of us who took the tour last Wednesday. It was great to do the 2 hour tour, we all wish we'd stayed longer on holiday and done the longer one (I'd have booked some block bookings with you!!). Also it was great to get up to that bar on the top of the mountain and then stretch the legs of the trike on the way back. We enjoyed the tour through the centre of some of the small towns too. Thanks!!!
Dave Wilson and the gang!
Hi there - just saying thanks again for a really memorable experience, I have put my wife and kids on E-Bay to raise the cash to buy my own trike ( Only Kidding ). But will definitely be getting one sometime in the future- we are already looking forward to seeing you again next year. Once again thank you for an amazing experience, one every man should do before he kicks the bucket!
Adam Murchington and family.
Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our ride out with you again this year. All of us agreed that this was even better than last year which was fantastic! Each time we come to the trikes it is without doubt the highlight of the holiday. You have improved the tour and improved your business, both you and your wife are super people and we thank you very much for your friendliness. We will shortly be looking to book next years holiday and I can speak for six of our group that are looking to return to your wonderful island - just because of the trikes!. Once again a big thank you.
Andy, Gary, Danielle, Charlie, Sam and Max.
Hi there folks just a note to say how much we all enjoyed the trikes, it was a fantastic day and we are so glad we did it. I will be sending you a copy of the video footage that we took on the tour , we hope you enjoy it. Love and Peace.
George the Hippy
You will NOT be disappointed and it's well worth the money because where else could you get a tour of an island for around 45 euro each for 4 hours. Trust us, you WILL go back for more.
Thanks again to John and Lyn for MAKING our holiday.
Trev, Sandra, Chris and Tish
If I had only done one thing whilst on holiday then the trike tour would have been it! It was absolutely brilliant and I wouldnt have missed it for the world. It was worth every penny and truly value for money - I would do it again tomorrow given chance!!!! I had never driven anything but a car but after instruction from John I felt confident to give it a go and am so glad I did. Thanks for the ride !!!!!!!!!!
Lynne Soden (Jakes Mum)
Absolutely fantastic. If we has the money would have done it all again. Did the South Tour and took in incredible views up the mountains, around the coast and more! Big thanks go to Lyn, John and Mark!
Jake Soden.
Just a quick note to say thank you for the lovely trip we had last week. Even though my parents and Jessica already went out the week before, they really enjoyed the experience the second time around (shame about the Ravens though, even though Mark tried his best!!)
Michaela.
Great day out with John and Mark. Well looked after and the chipmunks and ravens were fantastic. We will definately be booking up for another trip when we are back in Fuerteventura.
Stuart, Aileen & Andrew
Cool Runnings was one of the (and definitely my) highlights of our two weeks in Fuerteventura. We are a family of four (2 adults and 2 kids - 7 and 10 years) and, having read some of the other testimonials and spoken to a friend, decided to take the 8 hour tour. Billy (my husband) has mobility problems and had a seat on the back of the guide trike. I drove a trike with the two kids as passengers on the back. Having only ever driven a car previously (and never driven abroad at all) I was a bit nervous. However, after a few minutes around the car park, we set off and it was exhilarating! I was completely hooked! The trip is well done with regular stops to have a coffee/see the sights. You definately have a much better experience than sitting in a coach or in a car. Some of the best bits (for us) were seeing John call the ravens and having them eat our of our hands, the giants (!), caves at Ajuy, just being on the open road and seeing the scenery and or course the chipmunks.
John, Lyn and the team are terrific, very professional. We would recommend the 8 hour trip wholeheartedly, it gives you a chance to see a few different areas. Our kids coped well with this and asked for more at the end of the day!
We will definately take another trip when we return to Fuerteventura. The Step-Inn does a good beer afterwards too!!
Joanne, Bill and the kids.
Well - one word will describe this - AMAZING!
This is the second trike tour we have done with John and Lyn in 10 months, but this time we took the whole family with us! We had (yet again) a fantastic time! This is a MUST for the perfect start or end to your holiday! You will NOT be disappointed! Just a big thanks you to John and Lyn for making us feel very welcome (again) :)
Dean, Angie, Taylor, Sue, Robert and Stuart.
What a great time me and my family had. We did the 4 hour tour and boy was it worth it. I had a permanent smile on my face the rest of my hols. It was fantastic. Could't stop talking about it to everyone. Thanks to John my wife was able to take the trip as well as my son went on the back of Johns trike with him. He absolutely loved it. If we are back in Fuertenventura we will be back to do the day trip!! Thanks to you both for a fantastic time.
Ricky,Louise ,Shelley and Aaron
What can I say it was fab fab fab- highly recommend it to any one, such a great way to see the island. We did the south tour one day and the north tour another. John was a great guide and he was very informative about the island. Our little boy Jack had great fun feeding chipmunks and the ravens, he really enjoyed it and it made his holiday. Thanks a lot guys and all the best for the future.
Vince (fab florist!) Marion and Jack.
Just wanted to thank you for the great time on the American Trike. The tour was absolutely fantastic. Maybe next time me and my family come over we can hire out the trike 3 days a week haha! I couldnt remember our tour guides name but could you tell him thank you from all of us. Hopefully we will see you again soon.
Jeffrey, Maria and Jordan.
Thanks for a brilliant tour-worth every penny! Lucy, Paula and I had a brilliant time on our trip to Ajuy. The training time and the steady pace set by John was excellent. The trikes are easy to drive and they are such good fun! I have driven hire cars before but with the trikes you get to see so much more and have so much fun even when you are driving. Highly recommended an excellent trip and excellent organisers. Thanks John and Lynn.
Mark, Paula and Lucy.
Hi Lyn and John, I am sure that you will remember us. We told everyone about your
trikes what a wonderful time we had, we cannot wait to go again. Hopefully we will come again in January 2009.
Sue and Ted.
My husband Tony, myself and Beth our 3yr old daughter went on your pink panther trike tour. We had all been looking forward to it so much as we has seen the tours on Sky TV and read your site reviews. We were not disappointed. It was the highlight of our holiday, a fantastic 4hrs, the best way to see and experience the island. Our little girl tells everyone about feeding those chipmonks and about daddy driving us on the pink trike. Thank you so much for a unique and unforgettable experience. It was fantastic. Many thanks.
Ruth, Tony and Beth Harris
Thank you for an absolutely fantastic day (we did the 8hr tour). Andy was a brilliant guide and showed us some wonderful places. I would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see the island. Mike had the time of his life riding the trike.
Thank you, John, Lyn and Andy.
Dee and Mike
Amazing! Fantastic! Stupendous! Breath taking! I could use all the superlatives that you can think of and then some! That trip was THE BEST thing I think I have ever done on holiday, Thank you guys, it made my holiday on Fuerteventura truly memorable and as I said, I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE!!! To anyone reading this, dont delay, book today!! I did the whole island trip from Corralejo and from the time I got to the rendezvous point until the time I got off the trike at the end of the day, I dont think I have had such a good time EVER! Thanks a million you guys, you are the best!
James.
Fantastic! Enjoyed every minute! Pity we left it until our last day as we would have liked to have done another tour - maybe next time!!
Carl and Jane
Wow - how fantastic was that!!! We took the full day tour and saw EVERYTHING!!! Feeding the ravens and chipmunks in the mountains had to be the highlight of the tour - John just whistled and they swooped in to his call - and they have babies, what a bonus, they arent cheeky enough yet to take the nuts from Johns hands but Im sure he will get them to eventually! The views were spectacular and John was a brilliant chauffeur, pointing out all the interesting sights on the island and it was great, all we had to do was sit back and enjoy! What a great way to see the island, thanks a million guys and to anyone thinking of doing ANY of the tours, dont just THINK - get it booked, you wont be disappointed!
Sandy and Dave.
We home now and back to reality again after a fantastic time over there. Just want to say thanks for the tour, we really enjoyed ourselves and Andy was great, the talkative type of person that explains things which was great.
Once again cheers!
Jonathan and Tina Richardson.
Just to say BEST TOUR ON THE ISLAND. Very nice and friendly people, John and Lyn. Just like going around the island with a good friend. Spectacular views on the way. Would highly recommend it. No point viewing from a bus or a car. Nice and comfy for two or three on a trike. simply the best for a reason.
Fergus and Dionne
I work for a excursion booking office here in Fuerteventura and had the absolute pleasure of going on a 2hour tour with my visiting sister and her children. John gave simple instructions which my sister (the brave driver of the girlie pink panther) found easy to follow and with a little trepidation, off we went!
WOW!! The tour was amazing! It even left me speechless, which is amazing in itself!!! There was lots to see and it was wonderful to get away from the town and see the spectacular views, and the feeling from being on the trike is undescribable! It left me on an adrenaline 'high' and the 2hour tour really was not long enough! We asked the kids at the end of their holiday which was their favourite part out of all
the activities they had done and they all shouted out 'THE TRIKES' !!!
Thank you very much John & Lyn for a wonderful, exciting day out of the office!
Anya Kenyon (Whereabouts excursions office)
The trikes were fab !!! Out of all the things we did on our holiday these were the best!! My children loved the helmets and also that fact that everyone waves and shouts at u as u go past them! We will be sure to make a WHOLE DAY of it next time we are in Fuerteventura. Thanx John.
Michaela Stewart and family.
COOL RUNNINGS - THE COOLEST! I booked this with some trepidation as my wife was very nervous to say the least! The experience quite literally took our breath away - what a way to see and experience the island!! The trike team couldnt have been better in the on-line booking process and the attention to safely.
Andy and Diana O'Neill
Me, my wife and my 3 yr old daughter took the 4 hour tour through the mountains,after some arguing about what colour trike to ride, (my daughter won - it was the pink panther!) and what a brilliant day we had. Our guide took us to see some amazing views of the mountains and the island. We got to feed the ravens which my little girl thought was great, unfortunately the chipmunks did'nt come out to play that day but we had an absolutely amazing experience.I would like to thank everyone in the Cool Runnings team for a perfect end to a great holiday! If we were to return in the future we would definately go on the longer tour!! Once again thanx for a great day!
Mark, Stace and Courtney.
Allen & I enjoyed our trip very much and it
kept him going until he got home to his beloved
GoldWing! We hope to see you again someday.
Allen and Christine Prescott.
We had to take three tours, one simply wasn't enough!!
The first two tours were a special birthday present for my partner Steve, who knew nothing about the trikes until John turned up at our hotel - from then on it was pure magic. After being driven by Steve on the first two tours I decided I had to drive and so we booked our third tour!
Anyone who misses the chance to tour on one of these trikes is missing the thrill of a lifetime, you go as fast or slow as you want and really see the people and the country when you drive across the island through the tiny, traditional spanish villages.
If you love animals, the pitstop to feed the chipmonks with Johns never ending supply of peanuts is an absolute must. What a holiday, what memories! Just trying to organise our next one now to return and visit our new found friends John and Lyn.
Tracy and Steve
I know it has taken a bit of time to send this feedback, but all I am going to say is if you get the chance grab it with both hands! The tour itself is not far short of amazing and I havent experienced anything like it before. John and the other tourguides know their stuff and I don't even think anything is as good as travelling along them freeways, and to get to the top of the mountain to see them breathtaking views is top of the pops. Hopefully I will be back soon and you know you will be my first port of call for another tour. Thanks for the experience John - it was mint. Cheers!
Baz and John.
We cant thank you enough for what turned out to be the highlight of our holiday. We took the plunge and went for the biggest trip after reading how other people wished they had taken the longer trips. Victor was a great guide and we got to see sights that we would never have seen. Where else could you hand feed chipmunks? We are coming back in July and hopefully we will try and do it again with the kids.Thanks again for a brilliant day out.
Mike and Christine Brown.
Just a quick mail to say how much we enjoyed our day out on the trikes and to say a big thank you to John for showing us around. We're definately gonna go back to Caleta so will pop in and maybe book another trip.
Jodie and Chris Cooper
Cant wait to do it again!!!!!!! We did it twice!!
Ian, Anne and Betty.
Absolutely BRILL, went on a 4 hour tour I drove and had daughter and wife on back, we all absolutely loved it. What a great way to see the Island. What fabulous roads to ride on, they are a dream. Just one tip, wear something warm. It was a hot day when we went, however as you ride along it can get quite chilly, so wear warm clothing. The view from the view tower at top of mountain is breathtaking, and feeding the chipmonks was wonderfull.
Definitely well worth the money it was excellent!!!
Eddie
WOW,WOW,WOW! If you are looking for inspiration, a sensation of 'stepping outside the box' and a huge amount of fun then this is THE trip to do whilst staying on Fuerteventura. Everything about this experience was positive right from the word go when we popped into the office to see Lynne and talk about the Trikes and the various tours through to meeting John at the appointed hour for our tour. It was AMAZING! John was our chauffeur for the 4 hour Ajuy trip and he has a wealth of knowledge about the island and it's people. To have your own guide and e out on a beautiful day with all the sights and sounds along the way was just magical. The Tikes were something we'd never done before but once we had, we wished there had been more time to take another trip. Put very simply....it was truly unique - we are still smiling!
Tina and Jane
Sincere thanks to John and crew. we took the 4 hour tour and it really was the highlight of our holiday the fantastic views and the fun we had
on this tour was awesome, keep up the good work John. We cant wait to go back and do this again.This is not just for young people -the youngest of our group is 62!
John and Breda with John and Teresa
Many thanks John for the trike tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the
trike ride and the spectacular views of the island on our 4 hour Ajuy trip. Carole said she had a fun time, but the real fun was actually riding the trike. I am glad I brought my driving licence!!
Colin and Carole Shirlow
Hello, just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time
on your trikes.Our tour guide, Victor was brilliant.We didn't want the tour to end and would definately do it again, in fact we are looking to buy a trike of our own and trade in one of our motorbikes! Many thanks again and the photo's are fantastic.
Martin, Sharon and Natalie Smith
Best trip ever, will do again next year a must for every one......thank you so much.
Angela Gaydon
Absolutely fantastic, great time. Will do it again next year. Thank you very much, kids had a great time have not stopped talking about it.
Dean Davis
Just a quick line to say thanks to John and Lyn for the unforgettable time we had on the trikes. We did the 4 hour tour on 11 Jan 2008 and it was fantastic. We fed the chipmunks and rooks,saw the caves at Ajuy and rode up the mountain to the observatory. What a cool way to see the island.I would fully recommend the four hour trip as you experience much more of the place. If you ever think of doing something different, but never do, then do this. I promise you, you won't be disapointed. Cheers John.
Rick, Diane, Lisa and Stephen Carter
P.S. Try to keep up on that 7km straight next time John!
It's just a quick message to say many thanks for the tour you gave us and the fantastic experience on the trikes. The guide provided by John was FIRST CLASS. Our lot won't stop talking about it. Im sure we looked cooler than Billy Connolly and I think John has those rooks on a perch somewhere in the office (too tame) he he he. Thanks again and hope to see you soon.
Trevor Young and All The Gang
Just wanted to say thanks to John and The Team for a fantanstic afternoon. What a way to see the island of Fuerteventura, an experience we will never forget. I know you were having problems with your camera so I've attached some of our shots if they are of any use on your site and if you ever have any vacancies for tour leaders then let me know!! We've landed back to wet and windy temperatures of 3 degs so a blustery trip back from the observatory was no hardship for us from the North East!!! Anyway thanks again for making our holiday.
David and Diane Hogg
Excellent! As experienced touring bikers, we thought the trikes would be a bit 'tame' - how wrong! They go like the wind and stick to the road like glue - incredible cornering. Thanks for a great day out John, good company, amazing roads and fantastic views!
Richard, Glenis and Rachel Taylor
Excellent, thoroughly enjoyable day out and many thanks to Victor and James. By far and away the best way to see Fuerteventura.
Peter Dyne
Hi there. Thanks for a great tour and a big thanks to Victor for making our trip excellent!
Sarah Roberts
Great tour, best I've been on. My wife and sister in law (Lynn and Marie) rode pillion with your son in control (I felt sorry for him), and they loved it. Me like a p*** forgot my driving licence so had to ride pillion with the boss, but this did not spoil things in any way. He took us on a great tour, including death vally, which Marie was dreading, but loved. The views from the observatory were amazing. All in all it made our holiday. Thankyou for a brilliant day. Must remember my licence next time, and there will be a next time. See you soon.
Steve, Lynn and Marie
What an experience!!!!! We saw the trikes on the market and spoke to both John and Lyn, as I (Linda) am very, very nervous of heights and had never been on a bike before. They said that they would probably only recommend the 69 tour for us so we went into the office the next day and booked. WELL what a brilliant time we had! John had said that he would go at my speed and told us to tap his shoulder once if we wanted to go faster, so on the way back Peter leant over and tapped Johns shoulder on my side (I think John was really shocked). The trike took off and it was fantastic. We enjoyed this two hour tour so much we went back and booked a four hour tour for another day, again I do not have the superlatives to describe our day. Many, many thanks John and Lyn for a wonderful experience, the scenery was beautiful, Johns knowledge and driving was excellent and we will definately be taking the whole island tour when we next visit Fuerteventura.
Linda and Peter Andrews 10.10.2007 and 15.10.2007
Absolutely great. Will be seeing you when we come back for more. Thanks for a unique experience, it was great. We will be telling our friends to try it if they visit the island. Many thanks.
Tom Rowe and Ann Baxter 09.10.2007
Hi folks. That's us back to sunny Scotland (ha ha). I am writing to thank you guys on a truly fantastic tour. The scenery was excellent, the views from the observatory were amazing, even with a bit of low cloud. I managed to get some really cracking photos. Many thanks once again to James and co for a graet day. Hope to see you all next year.
Stephen and Eileen 09.10.2007
I would like to thank Victor for a fantastic 4 hour trip around the mountains and coast (north). We had a great time and Victor was very good with his "tour talk" and we found the views fantastic. The coffee stop was beautiful and feeding the chipmonks was the highlight of the tour. If anybody is thinking of doing this then I would truly recommend it. FANTASTIC! Once again Victor, thank you.
Nigel Alexander 04.10.2007
Hello there. The tour with you was really great, the surroundings were amazing. We would do the tours over and over again if we come back to Fuerteventura.
Patrick and Anika 04.10.2007
Well, what can I say ..... I cannot thank you enough for what was undoubtably the most fun, and most exciting holiday tour I have ever experienced, nothing beats the trikes for making a tour so much fun. The views of the mountains were spectacular as were making friends with the chipmonks. Such a lovely island would not of been so enjoyable to view without the trikes and the tour guides, John and James, who made it so much fun. I would recommend this to everyone of any age. My 6 year old son enjoyed it every bit as much as me and had not stopped nagging me to book for next year, so to avoid disappointment I have now rebooked for next July. Hope to see you there .....
Scott Burton 02.10.2007
We would just like to send a big thank you to everyone involved in making the trike outing a great time. Although my wife is partially disabled and therefore finds it difficult to get about, she really enjoyed this and was made comfortable by the staff. The instruction I received was excellent and was not taken off our time on
the trikes. Thank you very much for an excellent experience.
Steve and Jackie Pringle 01.10.2007
If I had to sum up the tours in just one word ... I think it would have to be WOW. Great views, excellent drivers, a great way to see the unspoilt beauty of this fantastic island. Sit back and relax, let the knowledgeable drivers guide you through the most glorious views, OR alternatively drive yourself! If you only have one excursion on the island DO IT ON A TRIKE!
Phil, Teresa, Pam and Danielle 29.09.2007
Without a doubt we definitely left the best till last (took tour on last day of our hols). We took the 6 hour tour and had so much fun the time just flew by. We found the trike extremely comfortable, it handled very well. John put us at ease right away with his friendly manner and professionalism. The day was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. It must have been 30 degrees. Great feeling the warm air in our faces, the freedom of the open road, the roar of the twin exhausts, the chrome glistening in the sunshine, turning heads as we entered the various locals villages. The scenery was breath taking. Had fun feeding nuts, kindly provided by John, to the grey squirrels and the wild rook which ate from our hands (that even surprised John! lol). The trip up to the lighthouse was exhilerating WOW. The visit to Ajuy and the caves - such rugged natural beauty - (look out John he's behind you!!!!! lol). The view from the observatory in Betencuria was stunning. Could go on and on but you just gotta try it 4 ur self. An unforgetable and unique experience. If we return to Fuerteventura we'll definitely be booking the Easy Rider Tour. Thanks John for a magical day and it was really lovely to meet you.
Agnes and Eugene, Wexford, Ireland 26.09.2007
Wow!! What a fantastic day. The day was perfect from start to finish, we had the pink panther trike with my husband driving and me and my 7 year old daughter Emily on the back. My five year old son Matthew went on the back of the Big Boss
on his own with James driving (Matthew did not shut up all day, chat chat to James like he had known him forever), he thought it was the coolest thing ever and couldn't wait to tell all his school friends what he had done on holiday. The views of the island are to say the least spectacular!! We did the 4 hour tour and my kids and us enjoyed every minute of it. Feeding the chipmonks was incredible. The observatory should not be missed by anybody visiting the island, 360* panoramic view from the highest point. Superb! This tour is a must for anyone young or old an experience of a lifetime. John and all the gang, you are Stars ******
THANKS VERY MUCH. A perfect end to a perfect holiday.
Gill and Paul Dimeloe 25.09.2007
This is the best that Fuerteventura has to offer.
Dutch translation; Een belevenis om nooit te vergeten.
Johan and Mascha 24.09.2007
Absolutely brilliant! Can't convey enough how much we enjoyed ourselves. I was meant to drive the trike but after test driving it I wasn't at all confident in taking it out onto the roads (I'd never driven a bike!). John and the other people we were with were brilliant & made me feel at ease that I'd made the right decision not to drive if I wasn't comfortable. John kindly said my partner, Justin, could drive instead and we had a fabulous time. We did the 69k Tour (for 69 euros, which is outstanding value for the experience that you have) and went up into the mountains in Betancuria. When we got to the top you could see down into Betancuria on one side and then all the way across to the other side of the island and the sea ..... stunning! John was a fantastic guide ..... he was relaxed, had good island knowledge and had a good sense of humour ..... thanks to him for an unforgettable experience. It was the highlight of our holiday!
Lorna Christoforou 24.09.2007
This was the most fun I have ever had on any holiday!!! OMG! Even my 2 year old little boy loved it! With the wind in his face he thought it was great. My husband thought he was Arnie! haha. What a day to remember. Can't stop telling people how good this is. Going to be booking it again for next year. Thanks John, Lyn and James for the best fun on my holiday .... See you next year!! :)
xoxoxox Love Angie, Dean & Taylor McCourt xoxoxox
24.09.2007
We decided to take the trike tour as this was something completely different we had never experienced. We saw this advertised on Sky Travel before departing and really wanted to do this. We booked the trike tour as soon as we could and have never experienced a trip like this. If we could sum this up in two words ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! Thanks to John, Lyn and James who made the tour a pleasure, ensuring all went smoothly. This is a must for anyone to do whilst visiting the island and will not be disappointed at all. Definately booking up again for next year so we will be back! Thanks Cool Runnings for making our holiday one to remember.
Jo and Lee Tilbury 24.09.2007
Well what can we say?! Not many people can say that they spent their Silver Wedding Anniversary the way we did ..... on the back of a Fuertetrike!!! What an
absolutely fantastic day we had too. Our driver Victor was fantastic and John (what a lovely man!) came along too to make sure our day was special and it deffinately was. The views were breathtaking, and the open roads! It was the first time for both of us on a motorbike of any kind and I (Dot) was a bit worried about going but there was no need, I felt completely safe from start to finish. If anyone is unsure whether to give it a try just go for it you will have an experience that you will get nowhere else. The champagne was a lovely surprise, thank you so much for that. And Lyn you have been fantastic on the e-mail sorting everything out for us, thank you to all of you, you made our special day extra special, a day we will remember forever. P.S. The photo's are absolutely brilliant.
Dot and Melvin Jones 18.09.2007
What a great tour! John you are very professional, you run your tours from start to finish in a professional manner, making sure that all of us were safe and comfortable with the bikes before the start. If you have not done this before, then you don't know what you are missing, the scenery is awesome and riding these trikes will have you singing like Billy Connolly or Meat Loaf. We will do this again on our next visit to the island.
Mr and Mrs Saunders 17.09.2007
Thank you so much John for one of the most unforgettable experiences we have had in Fuerteventura! We will, without a doubt, be in touch next time we are over and look forward to seeing you again! Good luck with the business (not that you
will need it)!
Fill Howell and Emily Strang 12.09.2007
Was a very nice day, the best of my holiday. When you are in Fuerteventura its a must to do the trike tour. Greetings
Tommy and Tina 10.09.2007
Best tour I've ever been on and made my holiday .....
Joe Fradin 07.09.2007
FANTASTIC!!! Best couple of hours in 2 weeks holiday!! Er indoors wants to buy one!! Thanks Mike for a cracking morning.
Nigel and Sue Harding 05.09.2007
Superb! I went on the tour with my two sons James and Ryan. James was a bit unsure about going at first (James is autistic) but once we got on the
open road he started to change his view and started to enjoy himself. When we stopped to feed the chipmunks James was in his element and was feeding them with the monkeynuts that John had with him. John had sensed that James had some problems and was very understanding with him and took the time to make sure that he had a constant supply of food for the chipmunks. Ryan also had a great time and if given the chance he would of rode the trike with every opportunity he was sitting on the drivers seat. John, I can only say thank you
for being so understanding with both the boys. CHEERS and will see you again.
Chris Higginson㺅.09.2007
What can we say other than WOW, WOW AND WOW!!!!!!! We enjoyed the 2 hour tour so much we went back a few days later and did the 4 hour tour. What a fantastic time we had, something so different. It's a great way to see the island and John is just fabulous with his stories to tell en route. Thoroughly recommend this to everyone. Thanks John and Lyn for a magic time!!!!
Diane, Alasdair and Cameron 29.08.2007 and 03.09.2007
Fantastic time, would recommened to everyone. Views you wouldn't see again. Well worth the money. Bit windy for the wife but my son loved it. Thank you Mike
for a great trip.
Tony, Julie and Craig 02.09.2007
This trike tour has cost us a fortune! Not because it was expensive, but cos it was so good we went straight down to the travel agents the day after we got back to book again for next year, to do it all over again! If you do nothing else on
your holiday but lie on the beach, this is a must. A fantastic day out for the whole family. Lots of thanks from Roger for booking us in at really short notice on our only remaining free day and from Claire cos that trike ride did wonders for her tan. See you again next year!
Roger Davidson 01.09.2007
An experience that will not be forgotten, what a way to see the island. Have already recommended it to others. Thanks John for ending our holiday on a high.
Dave, Jane (the future Mrs Lee) and Bryony 31.08.2007
Hi John and Lynn. It was the best day of the holiday, the boys loved it, as did I. John was excellent and made us so at ease. Many thanks to you both.
Alex Mutch and Family 30.08.2007
P.S. I've got to get one!
Well, what can we say. Had a fabulous 2 hours - experience of a life-time. Mike was a great tour guide and the girls loved him. We are all still buzzing and would love to do it again. Watch out Mike, Mark's after your job!!!
Mark Williams 23.08.2007
Max Keetley 15.08.2007
Had a great time. Wish I had taken the Full Island Tour. Thanks to John and Lyn. Very professional, helpful and pleasant from start to finish. Good luck with the new office.
Tiernan Martin 15.08.2007
Well what a blast!! All the family thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Lots of fun along the way coupled with some interesting places to stop off. The veiws at the Observatory are breath taking. Good value for money, Keep up the good work and we wish you all every success for the future.
P.S. Thanks for allowing us the opportunlty, great experience.
Phil Gill & Olivia 14.08.2007
We really enjoyed our 2 hours on the trikes, and would have loved to have had another tour another day but we ran out of days. If we ever return to the Island the trike ride will be a must do, we will tell all our friends about you. If you need a rider to do the tours for you let me know. Thank you for a great time.
Patrick, Christine and Andrew 14.08.2007
We found the tour on the internet before our holiday and booked on
arrival. We holidayed in the south of the island and had to get a bus to the trikes. This took an hour (after one eventually arrived), so when we got to the trikes we were tired. Once we started driving, all the time we took to arrive was forgotten and we all agreed that the WOW factor of driving these fantastic machines was amazing. John led us up to the view point and we stopped and took in the incredible sights. Thanks. Any one that visits the island THIS IS A MUST DO TRIP.
Andrew Darby 13.08.2007
Just a quick e-mail to say a big thanks to Mike for our couple of hours out. Obviously afterwards we wished we had gone out longer, we will when we go back. Been telling everyone back home how good it was so hopefully Mike will get a few bookings from anyone going to Corralejo. Once again, thanks Mike
Robbie Pendleton 09.08.2007
Hi John. Thanks for a great morning. We thoroughly enjoyed it and the pictures are great. Good luck for the future.
Dave Harris 08.08.2007
Thank you to John for a fantastic tour. We went fast and furious, the views were fabulous, the caves fantastic and the chipmunks cute!! We would highly recommend Cool Runnings to anyone going to Fuerteventura - sun glasses a must!!
James O'Reilly 06.08.2007
I would just like to say to anyone thinking about whether to do this tour or not , go for it! John explains everything really well and I met a man coming back from a tour who had never driven a bike and he got on fine as it is more like a cross between a car and a bike to drive. Take your camera with you as the scenery on the route is spectacular. I can honestly say it was the highlight of our Fuerteventura holiday and we did quite a few excursions, but none got the adrenaline going like the trikes, so it just left to say well done to COOL RUNNINGS and keep up the good work
Christy Griffin 03.08.2007
Thank you for the best 4 hours of our holiday in Fuerteventura. The 1st half an hour gave plenty of time to get used to the trike and myself and my wife and son very soon became relaxed and really enjoyed the experience. Jamie's highlight was feeding the chipmunks (or ground squirrels). I think that the 4 hour tour (which seemed to fly past) was definitely the best option for us. Once again, thank you, and we hope to see you again next year.
Richard Hayes 01.08.2007
What a marvellous way to see the north of Fuerteventura. We took the inland tour. Mike is a marvellous guide and very friendly. We had a fantastic couple of hours - thank you. We would recommend this to all visiting Fuerteventura.
Marian Stiff 07.2007
Hi John. Just wanted to drop you a line re feedback about our 4 hour tour. Firstly - what a great day we all had out with you last Monday. It was certainly the highlight of our week's holiday ..... absolutely great. We got to see parts of the island we would never have got to....and in style !! The only 'negative' part we thought was the restaurant we stopped for lunch at in Ajuy. I know you didn't like the place either but perhaps with that in mind we could have driven off to another place to have lunch. Many thanks for your 'guiding' and look forward to seeing the photos on the website when you put them on it. Good luck and best wishes.
Pete, Jacqui and Alex 30.07.2007
Really great addition to our holiday. Would recommend it to anyone.
Wspania³a wyprawa , polecam wszystkim którzy kochaj¹ motocykle.
Marek, Agnieszka and Emil Sulak 25.07.2007
Had a great time on our tour, we just wish we had gone earlier on in our holiday so we could have done it again and for a longer tour. We would like to thank Mike - MUCHOS GRACIAS.
The Marshall Family 24.07.2007
The trikes were deadly! Mike, cheers for taking me and Chris for a blast. Thanks for putting Jerrys name in, we really enjoyed it up the mountains, they were really nice, and feeding the chipmonks. The pictures are great. Thank you.
Liam Hill 19.07.2007
Before we took the tour I was a bit apprehensive, but believe me it was fantastic!!! It was all very professional and completely safe. We got to the top of the mountains and the view was stunning, John was a great guide and it was interesting to hear his story. We have told all our friends and family and lots of them have checked out the website. If anyone visits Fuerteventura this ride is something you must not miss. Thanks again....
The Willison Family 17.07.2007
Really great addition to our holiday. Would recommend it to anyone.
Donna and Mark Fiddes 16.07.2007
Mike, thanks a lot for my personal tour, it was a great buzz, best part of my holiday. Look forward to the 8 hour trip when I return to the island. A must do trip for anybody thinking about it ...
Derek Blaney 15.07.2007
Thank you to John and Lyn for being so kind to Tommy and myself. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on the trip and would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of taking this adventure. MANY THANKS!
Tommy and Philip 12.07.2007
MIKE YOU'RE THE BEST, we liked it very much, had so much fun on our trip with you, our persenal guide!!! Mike, we love you for giving us a great tour on the island. We can say to all off you: GO ON THE TRIKE WITH MIKE, IT IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO ON YOUR HOLIYDAY!!! Thanks again from the both of us Mike ...
Taco and Sonja Groesz 11.07.2007
John was ace, he made the whole family feel special. Thank you so much for the best day of our holiday. Your new slogan SIMPLY THE BEST is so true, you are BETTER THAN ALL THE REST. Anyone reading this, just do it. You won't regret it. You will have the best day of your holiday with the nicest guy on the island. Keep triking John, the island needs you.
Gary Smith 10.07.2007
EXCELLENT - by far the best thing we did in Fuerteventura! Although we only did the two hour tour our boys who were 5 and 3 absolutely loved it and still get excited talking about it. Totally recommend this excursion and if we ever return to Fuerteventura we will definitely book the day trip - can't wait til the kids are grown up now so we can hire trikes for the Route 66!! We've definitely got the bug now!
Dave and Linda Atchison 06.07.2007
Well Luke here - thanks for the tour. Dad and Lee loved it as well. 2 hours for 69 euros, that was a good price. Tell anyone else who goes to have a good time. Thanks for our trike ride and tour.
Luke Johnston (aged 8) 05.07.2007
Thank you very much for the t-shirt, I will wear it with pride. When people ask me about it I can say I have been there, done that twice and got the t-shirt. Many thanks for a wonderful couple of trips through the mountains.
John and Heather Kirk 02.07.2007 and 06.07.2007
What a great time we had, I still haven't stopped smiling about it (Don). It was a great way to see some of the island and Mike was a great bloke that made you feel totally relaxed. We went on the Route 69 tour which is a great starter tour but we will definitely be doing the whole island tour next time. We would recommend any of the tours to anybody.
Don and Pippa Pedlar 02.07.2007
What a great time we had with Mike on the Tour, thanks for a great afternoon, it really made our holiday. Best wishes.
Joanne And Tony Embleton 27.06.2007
We had a very good tour. We both said it was just a great couple of hours out - we saw some of the island we would not have seen if we had not done the tour! Our driver was great, you have a good man there. He seemed to know a lot about the area and history of the Island so a BIG THANK YOU to him. See you again soon.
Dave Clarke 25.06.2007
Awesome!!! 㺖 years since I have felt the wind through my quickly receding hairline, having ridden bikes for 18 years. Great way to see the island with expert tuition, information and humour from Mike. All the best for the future.
Chris Holmes 23.06.2007
I'd like to say thank you for putting me at ease as I was very nervous about the tour (having never been on anything with less than four wheels, sides and a roof!). Although I felt nervous to start with that soon faded and I came away having enjoyed the ride a great deal. I would definately do it again and for longer next time. Go on have a go, if I can anyone can! Thanks. x
Sharon Penn 19.06.2007
Thanks for a great tour. My daughter (10 yrs) was delighted to go on the pink panther trike as she was wearing the t-shirt to match, and seeing the photos here on-line is cool. The built in entertainment (tour guide) was fantastic. I have to say as a single mum the tour was ideally suited and a great day out.
Mina Coppola 19.06.2007
Thanks John for the brilliant tour up the mountain. I was impressed with your professional approach to the tour and the way you put my very nervous friend at ease, she came away from the tour with a very positive idea about safety on trikes.
Steve Lawrence-Hill 19.06.2007
Dear Mike, thank's a lot for all. It has been a nice tour and we enjoyed your company. See you on next tour!
Manual Teijeiro 15.06.2007
Thank you for a lovely tour. The views from the mountain were lst class. Its been many years since I had the wind blowing in face, it brought back very many happy memories. My husband really enjoyed driving the trike with me and my daughter-in-law Fiona and grandaughter Imogen and my son Andrew and grandson Joshusa, whose birthday treat it was, were with John, so a very big thank you to him. We took many photos to remind us all what a good time we all had, we will do the longer tour next time. A big THANK YOU TO YOU ALL
Pauline and Brian Payne 13.06.2007
Great 2 hour trip. Would suit all ages. Great driver and guide who made us feel special and safe.
Dave Franks 12.06.2007
We would like to thank John for a great tour and being so friendly. You certainly made it very interesting with all the points that you explained and pointed out. We would highly recommend it to anyone. We will certainly come back and do it again. Best wishes, hope you business continues to thrive.
Mick and Eileen Turner 12.06.2007
Excellent value. Thought the trip was excellent and both my children really enjoyed it (even the wife thought it was good). Only wish I had done a longer tour. See you next time. I recommend this to everyone brilliant day out with a great tour guide.
Malcolm Preston 12.06.2007
This was a first class two trike tour with drivers John and Steve offering a sound knowledge of the island, going at the pace you want and places off the normal tourist traps. Both are very personable and a laugh to spend the day with. It's suitable for all age groups. Nothing was too much trouble and would strongly recommend a tour. Thanks for a great day out.
Gilbert and Daphne Brooke 11.06.2007
Brilliant trip ... it was the highlight of our hols, espcially for mum and dad (aka wallace and gromit!), they haven't lived that down yet! Thanks a bunch guys espcially to Dave who hasnt changed since I knew him at school 28 years ago (it's a small world)! We will definately be back for another go when we next visit the island.
Wendy Wickens 10.06.2007
My wife and I would like to thank you for the wonderfull tour we took with you on the the 8th June this year. Being senior citizens we did wonder whether we would like it. Like it, it was one of the best four hours we spent on our holiday. John our tour leader and Dave our pilot could not have been more helpful and informative - they really made it a most enjoyable afternoon. Would we most certainly go again and if there are any other people in their senior years considering this trip, I say to you go for it. Once again to you, John and Dave and all your back up team, thank you so much. Hope to see you again one day.
Howard and Maureen Griffiths 08.06.2007
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and found the commentary from John along the way most interesting. The route and points of interest along it we could never have imagined had we not taken advantage of your services.
Gordon and Denise Neighbour 08.06.2007
This was the ultimate experience for me, after 15 years not being able to get back on a bike due to a serious accident. Although we had John driving for the day, the thrill was just the same. Great driver and knows all the places. The sights were breathtaking and the company was good. Thanks John and Lyn for making it all possible.
Peter and Eileen Cook 06.06.2007
We actually booked the tour for our friends, they enjoyed it far more than we would have believed. They were extremely impressed by John, who drove them and who really turned a sight seeing tour into a trip to remember. We would certainly recommend Trike Tours and the driver, and we intend to send all our friends and familly along to take these tours.
David Tomlinson 04.06.2007
Great tour, good value for money, Mike excellent host and very informative. Will be back again for the day tour!!! MANY THANKS
Mr Charlie Little 03.06.2007
