About Global Adventure Guide - See The World On Two Wheels
The Global Adventure Guide team is comprised of an international team of experienced outdoor guides, cyclists and mountain biking enthusiasts and travel consultants. With years of knowledge in travel and developing quality tours in remote destinations our team has the many different skills required to ensure tours operate as planned down to the smallest details.
Your options
With exciting Global Adventure Guide destinations around the world we focus on delivering unique tours in locations that follow the same quality standard of service no matter where you are in the world. Many tours will be off the beaten tourist paths whilst some will be renowned locations that no global directory would be complete without.
Graded tour levels ensure that we have an experience for people of all ages and diverse backgrounds. From the uninitiated to the very experienced participant there is a Global Adventure Guide tour awaiting you in a variety of destinations - see full definitions below.
Global Adventure Guide tour group numbers are deliberately kept small to minimise the impact on the environment and maximise the individual experience. Fastidious planning leaves no side of the tour unattended to and experienced guides and management are on hand to ensure our tour runs like clockwork.
Whether you seek to hike amongst the world's highest peaks, cycle alongside a relaxing golden beach, or take a mountain bike ride through rugged mountainous terrain, we have the perfect adventure vacation for you to enjoy.
