“I had the time of my life riding through such a magnificent and breathtaking Norwegian landscape! I met some truly awesome riders who are considered friends and will not be forgotten. With Oliver’s expert guidance and knowledge of the surroundings, all I had to do was enjoy the ride—absolutely the best experience from start to finish. Awesome job, Oliver!”

— ★★★★★ Mike Gomez, USA

“I joined Oliver for tours in Norway and the West Alps—both were truly exciting experiences! Every day was perfectly planned, with options to match our energy and skill. As a less experienced rider, I always felt supported—Oliver kept the group together and offered helpful tips through the Cardo intercom. I’m 150% sure anyone joining his tours will be absolutely thrilled.”
