It was a great experience!
My wife booked this tour for my son and I for my son's high school graduation present. My wife is our family's chief financial officer,and she wanted me to tell you that she believed it was a very good experience for the cost. That is huge coming from her! I have her permission to do more tours with your company!
Axel and Claus were very good to be with for the week. No complaints whatsoever. They could not have been more gracious. Thank you so much for everything your personnel did to accommodate us. There were no problems that we encountered, from signing up to checking out. It was a great experience.

The Southern Cross Tour was everything it claimed to be and much more
I just returned from South Africa and my first Ayres Adventure with a dozen customers. I've nothing but praise for the entire team. The Southern Cross Tour was everything it claimed to be and much more. From the bikes to the lodging to the dining it was all fabulous. Our two guides insured it was an incredible two weeks and represented what I feel is a fantastic value for the money. I will be selecting our next tour very soon!
Bob and Suzanne's Adventures include:

It was indeed an adventure, and the thrill of a lifetime for both of us.
I just wanted to thank you all for the fantastic vacation we just had. The hotels were excellent, the spas were luxurious, the food was wonderful and the scenery was spectacular.
This was our first group ride, but it won't be our last. It was indeed an adventure, and the thrill of a lifetime for both of us.
Thank you all so much!

We will definitely ride with Ayres again
My wife and I both rode with Ayres Adventures for the first time on their Prudhoe Bay/Alaska tour. We were both impressed with the organised structure of the tour; our tour guides were of an exceptionally high calibre.
We will definitely ride with Ayres again.
Robin and Pixie's Adventures include:
Prudhoe Bay Excursion
The professionalism of your organization is outstanding!
What a time we had in Africa, and the professionalism of your operation is outstanding. The routes, people, sights, hotels, food and animals all exceeded our expectations.
When you come back from any holiday there are usually a few things that stand out as being special. However regarding our tour it all blended into what can only be described as "Boys Own Stuff". It was truly the adventure we all dream about growing up as children. However to experience it later on in your life, is a dream come true.
We really want to participate in the South American Adventure next October!
Bill and Carolina's Adventures include:
Call of the Wild (Africa)
Namibian Splendors (Africa)
Bogota, Columbia
If you’ve never been to Africa, Ayres Heart of Africa tour is certainly a trip of a lifetime
If you’ve never been to Africa, Ayres Heart of Africa tour is certainly a trip of a lifetime. A word of caution: You will want to return to Africa again and again, once you’ve experienced the wonderful people, riding, wildlife and culture.
The highlight of the trip was spending time with the Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda. What a privilege to be a few feet from these magnificent animals. To be able to view, interact and take pictures of a gorilla family where the elder Silverback watches over his group is breathtaking. The young ones are very curious and may very well come right up to you for a closer look.
The safaris in the Serengeti region include the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorogoro Conservation Area. From the comfort of your private game vehicle, you’ll view and learn about the abundant wildlife.
The great riding in East Africa contains a smorgasbord of roads that carve through pristine mountain sweepers to rural villages where speed bumps are common to large cities where few road rules exist or enforced, and mix in some unpaved patches to keep things interesting and a lot of fun.
The people you’ll see and interact with are amazing, especially the children who are sweet and beautiful. The gorgeous, colorful clothes locals wear will amaze you. Beware, the motorcycles will attract a LOT of attention from the locals. We all felt like royalty, as huge crowds of locals stare, question you about the bike and snap pictures with their cell phones.
Our tour leaders were outstanding with their attention to details, their wealth of knowledge on the history of the areas and current events, and their willingness to go the extra mile. They worked tirelessly to make the tour an unforgettable experience.
Ayres Adventures will not disappoint with the premium accommodations, food and activities you’ll encounter. They simply are the best.
Paul and Lisa's Adventures include:
Call of the Wild
Prudhoe Bay Excursion
Best of Alaska/Canada
Heart of Africa
Trussville, AL
