Testimonials
We’ll be back!
Our debut tour with Ayres Adventures was an exceptional motorcycling experience!
Riding through pata negra country in Spring was simply sublime. We cannot commend highly enough the good humour and professionalism of Claus and Axel – tour leaders par excellence who regularly and happily delivered beyond our expectations! And we were delighted with the quality of our fellow tourers – always great company! Our thanks go to Ron, Shirley and team for making it happen.
We’ll be back!
Wilf and Yeen's Adventures include:
Portugal and Spain
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
The tour was much more than I expected
I left for the African Panorama anticipating a great time. I'd say the tour was much more than I expected.
John and Rob did a super job of organization. They were obviously in control at all times, which gave all of us riders a sense of security. They're also a couple of great guys who made everyone feel comfortable in strange surroundings.
The over-night stops were excellent, and the food was outstanding.
I think all of us agreed the trip to Kruger NP was the high-light of the trip.
This ride was truly an "adventure".
Mike's Adventures include:
African Panorama Adventure
Getting a photo at the Arctic Circle sign and completing the Haul Road all the way to Deadhorse has been on my wish-list for some time
A hearty thank-you to you, and to your team, for all your efforts during the inaugural Prudhoe Bay Excursion. It was the most challenging ride I have ever been on.
Getting a photo at the Arctic Circle sign and completing the Haul Road all the way to Deadhorse has been on my wish-list for some time. Thanks to your professional and customer focused organization I was able to complete that goal.
I hope to see you, John, and Nuno on another one of your tours. Next time on a different continent. Best wishes to you as you travel the world.
Jack's Adventures include:
Prudhoe Bay Excursion
Littleton, Colorado
This is my third tour with different tour operators and yours is the best so far!
Hi Ron,
Just a short note to say thanks for a great tour this month of Alaska and the Yukon. I would especially like to thank your tour guides Ed and Juergen who conducted themselves in a highly professional manner where nothing was a problem which greatly contributed to the tour.
The food and accommodations were excellent. I especially liked the gravel roads from Chicken to Dawson City and parts of the Dalton highway.
Thanks,
Mike

Thank you again for another wonderful tour!
Thank you again for another wonderful tour! We always wanted to go to the North Cape, with all the planning you did for us, you made this trip a great experience. You found nice twisties with spectacular views, stunning landscapes and outrageous bridges from one island to another, which made our hearts beat faster.
Our tour leaders had a lot of inside information on special routes, which were not crowded at all. GREAT RIDING!

It's the BEST TRIP we've done so far!
The hotels were excellent overall, the meals were great and had plenty of variation, and the wine! Well, say no more.
It's the BEST TRIP we've done so far. We look forward to traveling with your company again soon.

The photos can't express exactly what I carry in my memory
The "Best of Alaska and Canada Adventure" was one of the most beautiful tours that we have ever done. The photos can't express exactly what I carry in my memory.
Thank you very much for everything. See you on the Africa tour, or perhaps on another USA tour.

Escape to Ushuaia

Best of Alaska and Canada
Call of the Wild Adventure (Africa)
Belo Horizonte, Brazil
It was my first group motorcycle tour, but it will not be my last
It was an exciting, quick paced ride with an entertaining group. The leaders were always available offering encouragement, riding tips or just reliving the day over dinner.
And then of course there are the bragging rights of riding the world with Mike Kneebone and Ron Ayres.
It was my first group motorcycle tour but will not be my last!
Beverly's Adventures include:
IBA (Iron Butt Association) Ushuaia Tour
Africa Panorama Tour
Houston, Texas
The trip of a lifetime
My bucket list motorcycle tour to the European Alps with Ayres Adventures was indeed the trip of a lifetime. Great riding, great food, great hotel and great fun.

Once you travel with Ayres Adventures there is no going back!
First class all the way! Awesome roads and amazing lodging. Staff brings the group together and makes everyone feel welcome and at ease. Gives us plenty of time on the bikes and off the bikes to enjoy our new friends. Does a great job dealing with the unexpected and last minute changes which are bound to happen with any event. Why go with any other group - once you travel with Ayres Adventures there is no going back - they are top notch. This is my 4th trip and saving my money for the next one.
John and Heidi's Adventures include:
New Zealand Top Down Adventure
Ushuaia and Antarctica
Africa Call of the Wild
Iron Butt Viking Run
