Private Self Guided Bike Tours, Hiking Tours, and Private Guided Travel

Family Owned Travel Business
Adventure Travel is Us!

Hello and thank you for visiting!

As the husband-and-wife team/owners of Pure Adventures, we want to welcome you to ask any questions and explore all that we have to offer. We are a hands-on, service-oriented small business, and we value every one of our travelers. We work hard to provide unique experiences that to a large extent, put you in control of your vacation experience. We have carefully designed every tour with our in-destination, local partners to create a truly unique offering. There is nothing ‘mass produced’ or commonplace about our offers! We know self-guided bike tours, hiking tours, and private guided adventures!

We look forward to hosting you!

Sincerely,

Loren Siekman & Mar Naibi

Pure Adventures® is a US-based company located in Aspen, Colorado, with offices in Scottsdale, Arizona, and the Black Hills of South Dakota. We are a recognized leading tour operator focused on private self-guided and private guided biking, hiking, and multi-sport tours. We specialize in travel to Europe, Asia, South, Central, and North America. Our tours include hand-crafted travel for couples, families, and small groups while offering active, immersive, and meaningful experiences with their families and friends. Our travel experiences are customized around outdoor activities including cycling, hiking, water sports, trail running, mountain biking, and more.

About Loren: “I stumbled into travel after living in France for many years and finding that riding my bike in the countryside was pretty amazing; I didn’t want to leave! My novel idea of bike tours in France wasn’t original but I did find out that the ‘non-guidee’ way often used in Europe, was unknown in North America. I like to think that my brands including Pure Adventures popularized the term self-guided for bike tours, hiking tours, and other adventure travel. I even wrote comparisons for early internet publications to explain what it was! Today, this concept has become much more popular and has also become dominated by budget-oriented offers with “bare-bones” services. At Pure Adventures, we have stayed focused on private, independent, and customized travel, with a significantly greater service and support-oriented manner. We strive for higher quality offerings with more inclusions, more experiences, and more support. Pure Adventures now offers private guided experiences in an independent way that retains authenticity, adventure, and unique, local experiences. As we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, we will resume high quality, personalized adventures in a low volume, high service manner; Your Trip, Your Way.”

About Mariam (Mar): “When I was a little girl, we lived in England and traveled Europe extensively. I fell in love with the different cultures, scenery, food, and just the idea of going somewhere new. It’s safe to say that I caught the travel bug very early on! For the last 15+ years, I have worked exclusively in Travel & Tourism, based out of the small mountain town of Aspen, Colorado. Having our headquarters in Aspen, CO has enabled us to grow our product offerings here in the Roaring Fork Valley, and also, it allows us to provide the highest level of customer service to our base of local customers. I’m beyond excited to share these incredible trips with everyone here in the Valley! It’s really a natural fit for such outdoorsy and adventurous people. Additionally, I’m so in love with this area that it is a pure pleasure to share my home with folks coming in from out of town to adventure here!”

The Details About Us

In 2019, our parent company celebrated 25 years in the travel industry with nearly all of that time focused on bike tours, hiking tours, and outdoor adventures. We support local businesses in the USA, Canada, and abroad and in each destination, we service every booking we manage.  Pure Adventures® was founded by Loren Siekman, who also founded Discover France Adventures, Cycling Classics, and GotoParis, which began in 1994 as a travel agency. Service is at the core of our operation and all that we know makes traveling with us a great choice. In 2019, we moved our headquarters and all operations to Aspen, Colorado.
