What should I check before booking a motorcycle tour?

Before booking any motorcycle tour, riders should check whether the tour matches their riding level, physical condition, travel expectations and risk tolerance. A motorcycle tour should feel exciting, but it should also feel realistic.

Important points to check before booking include:

• daily riding distance and expected riding time
• road type, especially whether the tour is on-road, off-road or mixed
• group size and riding style
• included services, such as accommodation, breakfast, guide service, ferries or planned activities
• whether a motorcycle is provided or whether you are expected to bring your own motorcycle
• motorcycle model, seat height, luggage setup and passenger suitability where relevant
• luggage concept, especially whether there is a support vehicle or whether luggage is carried on the motorcycle
• motorcycle insurance coverage, third-party liability and what is not covered
• motorcycle excess, security deposit and optional excess protection
• travel insurance, medical insurance, accident insurance and rescue or evacuation support
• payment terms, reservation fee, due dates and final payment deadline
• cancellation and change conditions
• start and end location, recommended airport and arrival logistics
• required documents, including passport, motorcycle licence and International Driving Permit where applicable

With MotoGS WorldTours, many of these points are clarified before the booking becomes binding. This is especially important for international riders, passengers and tours with motorcycle selection.

Our current guided motorcycle tours can be checked in the motorcycle tour calendar. Once you have found a suitable tour, the next step is the Book a Tour process, where we clarify the relevant details before payment is requested.

The better the expectations are aligned before the tour, the better the experience will be on the road. More details are explained under booking process.
