Testimonials
Namibia was unlike anything we have ever experienced
The Namibian Splendors trip was fabulous. Jan and I both had a wonderful time. We can't say enough about our guides, the hotels, the food, the route, the off-bike/excursion days, or the quality of the overall experience. The hotels and food were exceptional, and were a real treat all by themselves. Namibia was unlike anything we have ever experienced - hauntingly beautiful, beyond anything we had imagined.
The best testament we can make is that we were only home 3 days before we signed up for another Ayres trip!
Alan and Jan's Adventures include:
Southern Cross (Africa)
Namibian Splendors (Africa)
Escape to Machu Picchu Adventure
Portugal, Spain and Morocco
Sedona, Arizona
I can't say enough good things about this experience!
This was my second Ayres Adventures tour, but definitely not my last. It will not be my last trip to Africa, either. The tour guides, John and Rob were as much a part of the group and the experience as everything and everyone else. The accommodations were first class and the food was incredible--they always pick the best of both. I think we were all surprised by South Africa and its peoples. The country is clean and the people are friendly. I can't say enough good things about this experience!
Beverly's Adventures include:
Iron Butt Escape to Ushuaia Adventure
African Panorama Adventure
Houston, Texas
A great time was had by all.
Our tour leader, Axel, was excellent. Not only did he check out the bikes each day and get us on the perfect roads but also he was the perfect leader and had an ability to gently convince 7 head strong, high energy clients to do the right thing all the time. A great time was had by all.
Cliff's Adventures include:
Viking Run
Houston, Texas
This was our third Ayres tour and it clearly is the best motorcycle tour that money can buy
This was our third Ayres tour (Call of the Wild) and it clearly is the best motorcycle tour that money can buy. Claus and Jason were the best guides, very organized and very much understand people. Our accommodations were top notch and all planned extremely well.
Don and Vicki's Adventures include:
Call of the Wild
Best of Brazil
Escape to Machu Picchu
Inverness, FL
I can’t imagine how the tour route or hotels could have been improved.
Every moment associated with the tour was enjoyable, from planning and preparation to my return home and sharing photos and stories with friends and family. I was very happy when I received the materials a month before the start of the tour; they really created a great impression.
I expected pretty vistas, but there is no way to prepare you for post card views around every corner. I can’t imagine how the tour route or hotels could have been improved.
I look forward to my next Ayres Adventure."

Our trip was beautifully planned.
Our first Ayres Adventure was everything we'd hoped and more. John is extraordinary at what he does. We really appreciated his sincere caring, competency and sense of fun. When asked where we were headed that day by a waitress at a coffee stop, a fellow rider said, "I'm not sure. It's like going on vacation with Dad. We just follow him and everything's taken care of, everything's wonderful."
Our trip was beautifully planned. Greg and I enjoyed the variety of accommodations, from a luxury waterfront hotel, to a country lodge, to a 100 yr. old farmstead, to a tented tree house, and especially the opportunity to visit the Zulu school and AIDS orphanage. We felt that we learned a lot about the country, rather than just passing through it. We're looking forward to future Ayres Adventures. South Africa definitely captured our hearts.
