Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have my own motorcycle?
Many tours incude the option of a rental motorcycle other require you do bring your own. Please read the description of each tour if a rental option is available. Rental motorcycle will be offered through a partner who has a range of well-maintained rental motorcycles, including models from BMW, KTM and Hondas. Rental motorcycles are subject to availability
What types of motorcycles are available for rent?
Some tours are offered with rental motorcycles as option through a partner. They provide a variety of motorcycles for rent, including BMW R1300 GS, KTM Super Adventure S and mid-size Honda motorcycles. You can choose the model that best fits your riding style and comfort.
What level of riding experience is needed?
I offer tours to all skill levels, from novice to advanced riders. However, not every tour is suited for every level of rider. Please check the specific tour description to ensure it matches your experience level.
What is the average group size?
Our group sizes typically range from 8 to 15 riders, ensuring a balanced mix of camaraderie and personalized attention. There is usually not more than 8 riders per tour guide.
Can non-riders/passangers join the tour?
Yes, non-riders are welcome! They can join the tour as a your passenger and participate in all off-bike activities, ensuring they enjoy the adventure just as much as the riders.
Are there age restrictions for participants?
Participants generally need to be at least 18 years old and hold a valid motorcycle license. Some tours may have additional age requirements.
What is included in the tour package?
Our tour packages typically include accommodation, route planning, guide services, and some meals. Specific inclusions can vary by tour, so check the details for each package. Rental bikes are offered as an option on some tours.
How do I book a tour?
You can book a tour directly through my website or by contacting me directly. I am here to help you every step of the way!
What is the cancellation policy?
The cancellation policy varies by tour. Please check the terms and conditions provided at the time of booking for specific details.
Can I customize my tour?
Yes, I provided self-guided tours that can be custom tailored to your preferences. There are limited options for customization on guided tours, as many have been planned months in advance. However, if you contact me early and would like to book different dates, or if you have a group of 6 riders or more, please don't hesitate to ask.
What is the best time of year to take a tour?
The best time to tour depends on the region, but generally, late spring to early fall (May to October) offers the best weather conditions for motorcycle travel in Europe.
Which rental bike should I choose?
For longer tours with significant daily distances (300+ km), the BMW R 1300 GS is recommended for its extra comfort, power, automatic suspension adjustment, and stability. The BMW F 800 GS is lighter and more nimble on tight switchbacks with a lower seat height - a great choice if you prefer a lighter bike. Both are excellent options; it depends on your riding style and comfort preference.
Can I share a room with another solo rider?
Yes! If there is another solo rider on the same tour, I am happy to match you up for a shared room. Please keep in mind that in the Alpine regions, twin beds are not always available, so you may end up sharing a double bed. Room sharing availability depends on the specific tour and its participants.
Is there a single room surcharge?
Most European hotels charge by the room rather than by occupancy, so there is typically a surcharge for single rooms. This surcharge is passed on directly to you with no markup from my side.
What is the deposit and payment schedule?
A deposit is due upon booking to confirm your spot. The remaining balance is due 60 days before the start of the tour. You will receive full payment instructions upon registration.
Can I buy just the GPX route without accommodation?
I don't sell standalone GPX packages. Instead, I offer custom self-guided tours that include accommodation (rider-friendly hotels, breakfast, parking notes), GPX tracks for each day (with short, standard, and long options where useful), and a Tour Book with points of interest and photo stops, practical notes, and logistics. This way you get a complete, ready-to-ride package rather than just a route file.
