My wife and I just completed the Idaho BDR two up with Backcountry Expeditions. We have been fortunate to take many guided trips over the last several years as well as doing many all on our own and these guys rank right up there with the best of them. Their equipment is top-notch as was really everything about the entire trip. I’ve already booked another trip with them and we’re discussing the next two up trip with my wife. If you are considering a BDR or any other custom trip and don’t have time to plan all the logistics then these guys are the way to go. Neil and Julia make sure you can really relax and enjoy the experience.

I got my first motorcycle (BMW 310 GS) earlier this year and am fairly new to riding ON & OFF Road. My boyfriend, Adam, who already has several years of experience booked a 4 day guided trip with Backcountry Expeditions for us to explore the Ouray/Silverton, CO area. Neil Taylor did such a wonderful job putting together a schedule & planning rides that would more than accommodate both of our varied skill levels. It was a trip of a lifetime and the best way to ring in my 41st birthday! Already looking forward to future trips with Backcountry Expeditions.

I've done several rides with BCE and have had a blast every time. As a matter of fact I'm planning my next trip with them right now. Neil the owner and the guide is a former military guy, and an all-around cool dude who really takes the time to get to know his clients and tries to create a memorable experience for them. I started with the lessons package, then I did the AZ BDR, then CO BDR which was epic, and now I'm planning on doing CA and Idaho. Do yourself a favor and do at least one trip with this outfit, you won't regret it and more than likely you'll get hooked (like I did)!!

I recently returned from a great backcountry trip in CO with Neil Taylor, of Backcountry Expeditions. Apart from the fact that CO offers some of the most amazing riding backdrops, Neil and his team planned the perfect mix of riding on the many known trails and scouting all-new riding opportunities. I have done a lot of riding over the years and have never experienced a more professionally run operation than BCE. Neil is extremely attentive to the needs of his clients and adjusts the itinerary on a daily basis in order to meet those needs.

Having done BDR adventure rides in the past, it's my opinion that there is no such thing as a bad off-road adventure. But riding with the Backcountry Expeditions team takes the experience to a new level. Their level of preparedness is top-notch, making the rider's safety the top priority. The team ensures that the level of challenge was commensurate with our level of skill, all the while keeping it interesting and weaving in plenty of photo ops. Neil and team leave nothing up to chance. The entire experience ran like a finely tuned machine. I look forward to our next ride with Backcountry Expeditions. Keep up the great work!

I've went with Backcountry Expeditions on a Colorado BDR adventure. It was most definitely an experience of a lifetime. Colorado is simply stunning. Can't say enough about the level of professionalism of Neil and entire Backcountry Expeditions team. They are very attentive to customer's needs. I really like the small group format Backcountry Expeditions follows and amount of individual attention Neil is able to provide during the trip. I am certain that if I've went with a larger group, my CO adventure experience would not have been as great. Can't wait to go on another trip with them soon! Most definitely will be a customer for life.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! From the moment I was collected from my hotel to the moment I was returned back to the airport for my flight home, the whole Backcountry Expeditions experience was just flawless, and the riding was even better than that!!! I travelled all the way from Scotland for the trip so my expectations were high, but in the end they were exceeded in every way. I have already booked my next trip with them for summer 2019 and think that says it all.

Neil and his team are true professionals, they planned and coordinated our entire trip to fit what we were looking for and that was to stay in Vegas and ride through Death Valley. We went as a group of 7 fathers and sons and could not have asked for a better experience. If you are looking to adventure ride, Backcountry Expeditions is the only way to go.

And it's both true and insufficient to say that Backcountry Expeditions is a very unique and special operation that delivered an amazing adventure motorcycle experience. It starts with Neil Taylor whose attention to detail is second to none, beginning with all the pre-ride consultation where answered every question patiently (and I had my share) - and more important - he asked me key questions to make sure I was fully prepared for the experience in order to get maximum enjoyment. The bottom line is that Backcountry Expeditions is worth every penny, and I would travel with them again in a heartbeat.

Whether you are new to adventure riding (which is what I am) or an experienced rider; this is a great experience. Pre-ride services were more than expected. From the initial call to get my riding experience and what I was looking for, to providing updates and advice prior to the ride. First rate instruction from bike orientation to riding techniques and safe practice and training prior to hitting the trails. I never felt pressured to ride outside of my abilities, but felt encouraged to push my limits to get better, knowing that Neil had my back. I will definitely do this again if my schedule permits it.

- Brian Buechner

Excellent experience - the team is very professional and courteous from the initial inquiry on web site and pre-ride consultation to once in a lifetime experience ride on the BDR route in Utah through post-ride follow-up. Neil finds fun and exciting routes while keeping safety number one priority - all while he shares helpful hints and advice from his vast riding experience. Bikes, gear, supplies, humor, etc. were in impeccable condition. I am already working on organizing the next ride.

We were looking for a company that could build a product to meet our specific needs and found an excellent provider in Neil and the Backcountry Expeditions team. The training and experience they provided met all of our objectives. Team building and leadership mentoring were delivered in a very professional manner that was valuable for the management team while being enjoyable for each participant.

- Colin Campbell

Absolutely outstanding from initial contact via email (the response was almost immediate) to delivering what can only be described as a trip of a lifetime completing the Colorado BDR. Neil's understanding and knowledge of off road expedition motorcycle riding is second to none. He provided all the equipment and an intimate knowledge of the route.... If Expedition riding is on your list of things to do, Backcountry Expedition is the only company doing it right. 5 stars is not enough!!

Being new to adventure riding I reached out to the Backcountry Expeditions team for support and mentoring on the Mid-Atlantic BDR<span style="font-weight: 400;">®</span>. Neil provided great advice on packing and gear selection before the ride and was fantastic at leading our week-long expedition and developing my riding skills and confidence along the way. I’m already signed up for another adventure...out West this time!

- Dash Stevens

We approached Backcountry Expeditions for advice on vehicle procurement and logistic considerations, as well as practical off-road training in representative environments. The information, advice, and training we received was excellent and delivered by instructors who clearly had real-world operational experience. With the peace of mind, our contractors can go about their business fully prepared, I highly recommend Backcountry Expeditions for your corporate training needs.
