GUIDED 4×4 TOURS & OVERLAND EXPEDITIONS

We all had a fabulous experience on the Pyrenees and Bardenas Reales overland adventure. Russ was not only great company but also a fabulous guide. I would have no problems in recommending Ardventures for your next off road experience.

Julian was a fabulously knowledgeable host and good fun to spend time with. Completely unpressurised enjoyable and very informative experience that I’d recommended to anyone. It would have been a bargain at twice the price. We will join on one of the trips when we can fit it in. Thank…

A grand day out, nice moorland routes and a decent water crossing.

We had a great time and will be joining you on other trips. Julian was very informative, and the event was very well run. We have not done much off-roading; some testing lanes were navigated with his help. Just a pity we had to cut it short on the final…

A fabulous trip to an incredible place to drive your Landy (I’m told other 4x4s are available!). Russ and Libby were great, really friendly and full of knowledge. The camp site is a lovely setting and worth staying an extra couple of nights if you can. Thoroughly enjoyed my trip…

We had a great experience with Russ. He is very knowledgeable and supportive. Changing to Spain ensured every one had a better experience Thank you Russ. Til the next time.

Hi, a very enjoyable trip of the Atlas Mountains and Sahara - some excellent wild camping with some great company . Kind Regards Cliff Parsons

Fantastic tour of mountains and desert including a modern and prosperous Morocco and the remote and otherworldly trails with sparse population and awesome views all delivered by Russ with care for us and the Moroccans . Great humour, in a nutshell we had a blast!!! Thanks Russ.

Thank you Russ for assembling a great group of people on this super trip and for getting us around and back safely. Thanks also for the guidance on how we should be best using the capabilities of the Grenadiers and for helping us find what superbly competent trucks they are.…

A Grand day out

Had an awesome weekend around the Yorkshire Dales with Ardventures. Russ certainly knows how to safely get the most out of your 4x4. Amazing views, great company, can't recommend this trek enough.

Thank you Russ .Great weekend exploring the Yorkshire Dales .Liked the fact that the tour is restricted to a small group .Very relaxed atmosphere.light hearted banter ,useful information ,clear instructions and interesting information on the local area .Look forward going on another one of Russ’s tours.

Russ, Thank you for a great tour and for being a knowledgeable and helpful guide. Yorkshire is genuinely beautiful, especially 'from the top'. I also improved my skill level (not difficult) and will learn to trust the Grenadier more! Enjoyed meeting new people as well. David.

Excellent day out with some fantastic views and equally good company.

I’ve been on many off-roading adventures with Russ but this was the first time I was behind the wheel, not my husband. Russ gave me clear, detailed instruction whilst giving me the freedom to learn about my vehicle. I felt challenged but never worried or uncomfortable. It was a truly…

Another great day out on the Yorkshire Dales with Russ from Ardventures and a small friendly group. The scenery is always fantastic but for me it’s ‘the getting there’ that I really enjoy. With a range of different off road terrains to challenge me and my Defender I am still…

A fabulous weekend, very laid back atmosphere, stunning scenery, and some challenging lanes all backed up with very professional guidance and advice. Great craic.

Going on an Adrventures trip takes the stress out of choosing the routes and its always nice to have some backup should anything go wrong with someone who has many years of experience. I like seeing the other cars and the way in which each one handles the route differently…

This tour revealed an enormously majestic, awesome Spanish wilderness that I would not have discovered without Russ's expert guidance. Well organised and led. Sorry Russ Will be coming again!

A very relaxed couple of days off roading with a small group of people in an area where the scenery is stunningly jaw-dropping. The North York Moors offered a gentle introduction to something a little more challenging in the Yorkshire Dales, just the job for a complete beginner such as…

An enjoyable couple of days, touring the Yorkshire Moors and Dales. North Yorkshire is a beautiful county, and even for someone local to the area, you’re guaranteed to see some stunning views of the county from a different viewpoint up in the hills. Weather permitting. Russ is a font of…

Great day out in the NYM national park, almost 100 miles of green lane and local B roads make an excellent day out. The routes well chosen by Russ to include a few water crossings, a steeper more technical descent and plenty of excellent views of the wonderful countryside.

A great day out off-roading with an expert and friendly guide. A perfect mix of tarmac and green lane, and just the right sort of distance. The lunch break at a village pub was much appreciated, as were the opportunities to stop and stretch our legs. We will be booking…

Good trip, well organised, some challenging tracks, some not for the faint hearted! Fellow travellers all great company. Thank, Russ.

We've just returned from a fantastic trip to Parc du Marquenterre in France led by Russ and Libby. Myself and my 12 year daughter had a great time camping with a lovely group of welcoming people enjoying an exciting day of off roading in some really quite challenging sandy conditions…

Great tour under the confident watchful eye of Russ.
