TESTIMONIALS


“Moto Birds were life savers for us! After riding over 43,000 miles across The Americas, our rear shock snapped on the border between Chile and Argentina in Tierra Del Fuego. Moto Birds had put on an extra shipping container from Chile to Poland, and emailed us about it with a great price. We had to leave due to coronavirus but Moto Birds managed to move our immobile bike from Punta Arenas to Santiago to ensure it could get home. We were given the details to track the bike when it was on the containership, and Moto Birds kept us updated with progress. In Poland customs asked for another piece of documentation we hadn’t provided, and Agata helped me through finding it and fixed the problem. The bike was then delivered from Poland to the UK where it arrived exactly how we had left it, including all our bags. They are a friendly team, always there for guidance and information. And the price was unbeatable for us! Thank you again, we are so glad to have our bike home and it wouldn’t have been possible without Moto Birds.”

“Parę dni temu miałam ogromną przyjemność dołączyć do szkolenia organizowanego przez Aleksandra Trzaskowska i jej Moto Birds Z jeszcze większą przyjemnością chciałam napisać słów parę i nieco się podzielić. Bo warto bardzo. Profesjonalizm. To słowo, kiedy poczytacie pozostałe recenzje, przewija się bardzo często. I nie bez kozery! Dodam jeszcze, że to profesjonalizm w każdym calu i na każdej płaszczyźnie. I taka jest Ola. Opanowana, siła spokoju, szuka rozwiązań, motywuje. W 100% racjonalnie ocenia sytuacje – co akurat dla mnie jest bezcenne. No i przy tym jest czas też na spontan, na zabawę i na ból brzucha ze śmiechu Takie połączenie dla organizatora wcale nie jest łatwe. Bardzo się cieszę, że poznałam Ola zarówno Ciebie jak i Twoje dziewczyny. Mam nadzieję, że jeszcze nie raz się zobaczymy, ale już te parę dni znalazło się w mojej szufladzie ze wspomnieniami. Takimi co to już zawsze ze mną będą Niektórych rzeczy nie da się odzapomnieć Jeśli ktoś nie ma jeszcze takiej szuflady z motocyklowymi marzeniami, polecam zajrzeć na stronę Oli Coś wymyśli”

17.08.2020 / SZKOLENIA MOTOCYKLOWE DLA KOBIET

Właśnie wróciłem z podróży do Patagonii. Podróż, PODRÓŻ, która okazała się wyzwaniem dla ludzi i środków. Ale dzięki doskonałej organizacji i profesjonalizmowi Aleksandry i Guya pokonaliśmy każdą trudność i można było docenić każdy widok, który ta wycieczka zarezerwowała dla jej uczestników. Mimo, że korzystałem z prawie czterdziestoletniego (należycie zaktualizowanego) motocykla, odetchnąłem w pełni emocjami, jakie płynęły z zapierających dech w piersiach widoków, jakie ta kraina rezerwuje dla swoich gości. Wynika to również ze spokoju posiadania za sobą organizacji, która zawsze stawała się dostępna w najtrudniejszych sytuacjach i najbardziej skomplikowanych fragmentach, dzięki dużemu doświadczeniu jej menadżerów i całego personelu, który jest zawsze do naszej dyspozycji.
