* Can I participate in these tours with a non-EU driver’s license?

No! A valid driver's license from your home country is generally sufficient.

Is my non-EU driver's license valid in the EU?
Yes, usually.
Your national driver's license is accepted as long as it shows the appropriate category (A).

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP)?
Recommended, but not always mandatory and usually not required within the EU.
However, it is highly recommended for non-EU citizens, as police or border officials may not clearly recognize your license as a motorcycle license. You should NOT expect a police officer to be able or willing to identify categories "S" or, for example, "M" as motorcycle licenses.

The IDP serves as a translation of your national driver's license into several languages.

Where can I get an International Driving Permit?
From the driver's license or traffic authority in your home country and is usually available immediately or within a few days.
Validity: 1–3 years, depending on the country.

What happens if I drive without a valid driver's license?

• High fines.
• No insurance coverage in the event of an accident.
• Guaranteed criminal consequences.

Tip: Always carry your national driver's license and - if you are not an EU citizen - an International Driving Permit (IDP). This will save you trouble at checkpoints or border crossings.
