Hi Ron,

My first tour was the Rendezvous in Rio Tour in Brazil in 2004.  I enjoyed it so much that there was no doubt who I was going to sign up with in 2006.  The only question was where.  The Grand Tour in New Zealand won me over.  Being a 'Veteran Ayres Adventurer' I believe I'm qualified to say that the tours are handled professionally, responsibly, and, most importantly, enjoyably.  Each trip was amazing and has a special place in my heart.  
 
I've gone on two different trips, two years apart, on two continents and they were both topnotch.  The accommodations, to be completely honest, even made me a little uncomfortable at times... not in a bad way, but in a great way.  Personally speaking, I don't normally treat myself to the finest things.  Ayres Adventures does, they do it humbly, but with knowing smiles on their faces.  They know the next site, or the next route, or the next hotel, is going to knock your socks off.  And, sure enough, it happens.
 
All facets of the trip are taken into consideration and made easy for you, especially the underappreciated, preparation  aspect.  Unless you've done some consecutive day distance riding previously, you're really not too sure how to plan.  Ayres already has it all figured out for you... what you must have, what you shouldn't bother with, airfare, insurance, inoculations.  They take the guesswork and much of the stress out of the equation and that allows you to be more relaxed as your start date approaches.  
 
I encourage anyone considering an overseas motorcycle trip to choose Ayres Adventures as your host.  You won't be disappointed.  Take it from me, it's nice to be spoon-fed once in awhile.
 
So, where to next?
