Testimonials
Claus is an outstanding guide!
Claus is an outstanding guide with whom we have ridden in the past. He imparts a confidence that there is no issue he can’t handle. Also, he does a great job of moving the group along without seeming overbearing. He makes an effort to know the country and the culture.

Japan - Cherry Blossoms and Mt. Fuji Adventure

We had an amazing Adventure and are looking forward to more trips with Ayres!
This trip exceeded our expectations time and again. From the moment we arrived in Africa, everything was well-planned and easy. The accommodations were top notch and our tour guides, John and Jason, were the icing on the cake. They were fun, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. We had an amazing Adventure and are looking forward to more trips with Ayres.
Chris and Jann's Adventures include:
Call of the Wild Adventure
Triple S Harley-Davidson Southern Cross

We cannot think of a better way to see the world!
Travelling with Ayres Adventures was stellar. It was a great opportunity to tour another country with absolutely no worries. Each day we were briefed as to what the day ahead would look like and off we went. The guides, Chris and Axel, were knowledgeable, organized and a pleasure to be with. We made many stops to look at beautiful sites or to take a break. It gave us an opportunity to meet new friends and share the love of motorcycle touring. We cannot think of a better way to see the world and would definitely travel with Ayres again.
Wendel and Janet's Adventures include:
Top Down Adventure

Trip of a Lifetime
When we signed up for our Alaskan Splendors adventure, David and I thought we would have a good time, see some wonderful things, and meet interesting people. We never expected that a short trip to Alaska would prove to be the trip of a lifetime, led by guides who not only set the bar, but exceeded it, for professionalism, technical expertise, patience and pure fun!
John Jesson had us all laughing together from the first day, and working together as a team by the second. Traveling with him was a pleasure from start to finish, and you may be sure that we’ll look for him on future Ayres Adventures.
David and Ruth's Adventures include:
Alaskan Splendors
New Zealand Top Down Tour
Call of the Wild (Africa)
Stockton Springs, Maine
Can't wait to return!
Just returned from New Zealand and the Top Down Tour and can't wait to return. Chris and Janis could not have made a better set of guides.
David's Adventures include:
Top Down Adventure

I can highly recommend Ayres Adventures for any motorcycle adventure
The "Call of the Wild" tour offered tremendous value for the money. It gave access to high end lodges such as Sediba which one would normally not necessarily consider. The wildlife sightings were spectacular. Game drives were offered twice a day when at game reserves. The local guides were outstanding and offered a ton of information. The opportunity to visit Victoria Falls was great and a must when in that area. The tour guides Claus and Jason made the tour enjoyable. They are professionals and know their stuff. Especially to have Jason, a South African on the tour gave us so much good insight into the country's history, current affairs etc. Jason's knowledge of the wildlife was especially helpful. Special thanks to Jason for helping me in refreshing my Afrikaans. I felt in good hands with both Claus and Jason. The good chemistry among the tour participants also helped to make this trip an unreserved success. I can highly recommend Ayres Adventures for any motorcycle adventure. Their organization and attention to detail is second to none. I am looking forward to the next tour.
Dietrich's Adventures include:
Call of the Wild
Bariloche to Ushuaia
Kitchener, Canada
If you want to go to Machu Picchu or Ushuaia, Ayres is your man.

So I'm already planning my next Ayres tour!
The Ayres Adventures tour to Norway last June was the trip of a lifetime! The tour was well organized and very professional. The tour guides did an awesome job from start to finish. The actual route and our accommodations were stellar. It was too bad that it all ended...I'm sure I could have gone a few more months!
So I'm already planning my next Ayres tour!
Chris's Adventures include:
Legendary Norway
Empire of the Incas (Machu Picchu)

Overall, it was a wonderful experience!
