Originally published in Mountain Bike Action
There’s nothing like riding a trail in a beautiful place where you’ve never ridden before, enjoying the sights from every corner and hilltop. Plus, you get to share the experience with your traveling companions and your new riding buddies that you just met.
If you do something like this on your own without having a local guide to show you the best trails and ideal places to spend your nights, you could be in for a hard time. However, if you’ve got a mountain bike tour company to guide you, they’ll handle all those things. Many tour companies also have rental bikes to save you the hassle and risks of taking your own bike along on your travels.
WESTERN SPIRIT BIKE TRIPS
The MBA staff has traveled to many countries and has found that it’s always best to have somebody who can take you to the best trails in a new place. Here are 10 tour companies who can make your travels a lot more fun with memories that will last a lifetime.
If you would like to get away for a few days to sample some of the best mountain biking areas in the USA, Western Spirit Adventures has you covered. They offer bike trips ranging from three to six days, with most trips lasting four or five days. You’ll ride during the day and enjoy dinner by the campfire where everyone can talk and share stories with each other. Western Spirit has over 50 trips on its 2025 calendar, including Moab, Utah; “Telluride to Durango” in Colorado; the North Rim of the Grand Canyon; the Black Hills of South Dakota; and plenty more.

He or she will be in contact before your tour to customize the day for you: assess your skill and fitness level, decide on a start time that works for you, and generally just get you prepared for a great day of riding with us.”

Haku Expeditions is based in Peru, and the company offers bike trips in Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador, and also in Moab (Utah), Guatemala, Bhutan, and Nepal. Haku Expeditions was founded by two Americans, Bill Koch and his wife, Nicole.

Then they started putting on mountain bike tours, too. Legendary riders Brett Tippie, Geoff Gulevich, Kurt Sorge and Micayla Gatto have all gone to Peru to join them on their tours. On the Haku website they say, “Brett Tippie said that his Haku mountain bike trip was the best tour he’s ever been on.”.

WANDERING WHEELS

They also have both trail and downhill bikes that their clients can rent. The company’s headquarters are in Revelstoke, British Columbia, which is famous for the riding in that area.
