How large are the motorcycle tour groups?
MotoGS WorldTours keeps motorcycle tour groups deliberately small. In general, we ride with a maximum of 6 riders plus the guide. In rare cases, and only by prior agreement, we may accept 7 riders. We do not operate large motorcycle convoys.
Small groups are important because many of the roads we ride are not ideal for large groups. Narrow mountain roads, remote paved backroads, ferry connections, border crossings, tight villages, scenic stops and long riding days all require a group size that stays manageable, flexible and safe.
This is not about making the guide’s job easier. It is about the quality and safety of the tour. A smaller group communicates better, moves more smoothly, creates fewer delays and allows the guide to stay closer to the riders.
Passengers are welcome where the tour, motorcycle setup, luggage concept and rider experience allow it. A passenger is part of the group experience and must be planned realistically, especially on longer riding days, mountain routes and tours without a support vehicle.
MotoGS WorldTours is built for riders and passengers who prefer a personal small-group motorcycle tour instead of anonymous mass tourism on two wheels.
