### Customer Experiences
# What customers are saying about their experiences with Ride Adventures
"Exactly one year ago today I was rolling into Ushuaia.
And yeah, the trip was a hoot. I had a fantastic ride, from beginning to end. And much of the credit for making that possible goes to you and your crew. Ulli got me set up nicely to start, and I had no troubles with the bike from then until Samuel came to retrieve it in Puerto Natales two weeks later.
I rode from Pucón over into Argentina, then back into Chile at Futaleufú, down the *Carreterra Austral,* back into Argentina at Chile Chico, rode out to the *cueva de las manos*, and then after stopping for a rest and some hiking in El Chaltén for a couple of nights, rode down to Ushuaia before heading back up to Puerto Natales to drop off the bike, and then by bus over to Torres del Paine N.P. for a few days before flying back home.
The weather cooperated (I never once rode through anything more than a drizzle), the bike ran great, I always found a decent place to sleep and eat, I never had any trouble with [bureaucrats] at any border crossings, and I never ran out of gas.
No. Wait. I did run out of gas once.
So yeah, the whole thing rocked. Wish I was there now."
