Are MotoGS WorldTours on-road or off-road motorcycle tours?
MotoGS WorldTours is an on-road motorcycle tour operator. Our tours are designed for paved public roads, scenic mountain passes, coastal roads, rural roads, narrow backroads and demanding but legal road conditions.
We are not an off-road, enduro or hard adventure training provider. That does not mean our tours are limited to boring main roads. Many of our best routes use smaller paved roads, remote sections, twisty mountain roads and less-travelled connections that create a real adventure feeling without turning the tour into an off-road event.
Riders should be comfortable with curves, narrow roads, changing road quality, mountain sections and longer riding days where the route requires it. In rare cases, a riding day can be longer than usual because of logistics, ferries, border crossings, weather windows or connections between regions. This does not mean every day is extremely long, but riders should be prepared for active touring.
A MotoGS WorldTours tour is not only about riding kilometres. Depending on the tour, the programme may include ferries, overnight ferries, cultural stops, local experiences, rafting, scenic boat journeys or other special activities.
The focus remains clear: paved-road motorcycle touring, scenery, riding flow, shared experiences and safe group progress on public roads. More details are explained under riding experience requirements.
