South American / Patagonia tour recommendation
 
I'm in the early stages of planning a trip/tour through Patagonia in 2014, and I wanted to know if any of you have experience with any of the main tour operators. In particular, I'm looking at MotoDiscovery and AdMo tours as having the itinerary, and features that I'm looking for. Any comments, thoughts or suggestions?
Also, the length of the tour, in miles, and days can vary widely among tour operators from about 10 - 20 days. This is my first motorcycle tour, and I could use some feedback on these questions.
thanks

South America/Patagonia Tour Recommendation
 
Try MotoAventura, based in Osorno Chile, run by Roberto Baum and his wife Sonia. I did 4 trips with them from 2005-2008 and thoroughly enjoyed them. Plenty of info on their website.

I may be wrong, but I think Admotours act as an agent for MotoAventura.

Hope this helps

They seem like a reputable tour operator - thx
 
Guy,
thanks for the suggestion. The website seems to have a number of issues with the detailed content, and some of the pictures and pop-ups don't work properly. That said, from what I was able to get from the site, they seem like a good company to talk to.
thx again

National geographic award
 
Compass expeditions won one of the 50 tours to do in a lifetime awards for the Patagonia explorer tour. Tours run during the Southern Hemisphere summer only ie a few months either side of Xmas, If you would like a copy of the tour highlights DVD I can post one out to you for free.

Hello and thank you Jack. I've been working with and talking to Shaun from Compass, and he's been very helpful with all of the questions I've asked. He has also provided me with the DVD that you mention. The DVD does not seem to do justice to your tours, but nonetheless, I got the gist of it.
I was using this forum as a way of getting information from others, who may have used one of the South American tour operators, so while your response is appreciated, I'm looking for other, independent points of view.
Right now, we've selected Compass as the tour operator for our tour in 2014, and I'm putting together our team, but always looking for more input from the folks at HU.

Hi cjmusante, I'd have a look into Exmo Tours as well. They operate globally but Patagonia and South America seems to be the place they run most of their Tours:
