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 have an incredible team who work for us full and part-time in the US, Canada, and Mexico. 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, and 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: “My journey into travel began during my time living in France, where I fell in love with cycling through the countryside. Inspired by this experience, I explored the idea of bike tours, introducing the self-guided concept – already common in Europe – to North America. While self-guided travel has grown, much of it now focuses on budget options. At Pure Adventures, we remain committed to private, independent, and customized travel with a strong emphasis on quality, service, and support. We’ve even expanded to include private guided experiences that retain authenticity and local charm. After weathering the challenges of the pandemic, we’re proud to continue creating high-quality, personalized adventures with our mantra: Your Trip, Your Way.“
About Mariam (Mar): “Growing up in England (by way of Minnesota), I had the incredible opportunity to travel extensively across Europe. From a young age, I was captivated by the diversity of cultures, breathtaking scenery, and vibrant cuisines – and fell in love with the sheer magic of exploring new places. The travel bug bit me early, and it has been a lifelong passion ever since! For over 20 years, I’ve dedicated my career to the world of Travel & Tourism, working from the picturesque mountain town of Aspen, Colorado. There’s nothing I enjoy more than crafting unique adventures and sharing the joy of travel with others.”

A Message from Pure Adventures: Supporting Each Other Through Challenging Times
In 2024, our parent company proudly celebrated 30 years in the travel industry, with most of that time dedicated to bike tours, hiking tours, and outdoor adventures. We are deeply committed to supporting local businesses not only in the USA, but also in Canada, Mexico, and every country where we operate our tours. By partnering with local businesses in each destination, we ensure that our tours directly benefit the communities we explore, while delivering personalized service for 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.
