Everything was wonderful even before starting it: the material that we've got at home, the reception at athe airport, the hotels, the motorcycle, the restaurants, the places we went, the help we'got when we needed, the way you treated us. As we say in Brazil: YOU ARE 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ron,
We would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for allowing us to be part of the tour, and also the opportunity to experience a wonderful bike trip. I proudly wear my Stelvio Pass T-shirt.
The choice of hotels and restaurants were great, exceeding our expectations many times. Mauricio's and John's ability to make everyone comfortable and part of the team is amazing. I am looking at late 2008/early 2009 schedules to ride with you guys again.
Most importantly, we made good friends and we are proud to be associated with your company.
Thanks again for making our 10th wedding anniversary vacation a memorable one.

We were very blessed having them.
Everything was perfect including accommodations, restaurants, 'shopping" and the group of riders we were with. We shall never forget. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Hopefully we will do business with you again soon."

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! |

Before we left for New Zealand, we told ourselves it would be the trip of a lifetime...it was all that and ten times more. Every aspect of the entire experience far exceeded our wildest expectations.
The accommodations and the meals were fabulous, the rides amazing, and the people were the absolute best. It was without a doubt the most wonderful vacation we've ever had.
We will return to New Zealand some day, and we will ride with Ayres again--somewhere in the world. |

I don't normally treat myself to the finest things, but Ayres Adventures did treat us to the finest things, and they did it humbly, with knowing smiles on their faces. They knew the next site, the next route, or the next hotel, was going to knock our socks off. And, sure enough, it did!
I encourage anyone considering an overseas motorcycle trip to choose Ayres Adventures as your host. You won't be disappointed!" |

| "A wonderful Adventure! The scenery just continued to get better day by day, and although my favorite areas were Bolivia and Peru, all the places we passed through were just fantastic. Not a bad day among the entire 29! " |

"We just wanted to let you know what a great trip we had in Brazil....
The open menu each night for dinner really sets your company apart. I have been on motorcycle trips with other companies but your company has raised the standard for excellence. We look forward to our next trip with you." |
