Practical Considerations
While the tour comes highly recommended, there are some points to keep in mind. The roads can be rough and winding, requiring a certain level of comfort on a motorcycle, especially on steep or narrow sections. Weather conditions can also influence the experience—rain or fog might obscure views or make roads slippery.
The tour’s duration of about 10-12 hours per day means you’ll be on the move for quite a bit, so packing light, comfortable clothes, and some warm layers for cooler evenings is advisable. Group size is small, which enhances intimacy but also requires good weather to proceed, as cancellations due to poor conditions are possible with a full refund.
