This was an amazing experience. The riding is varied, the views and scenery is spectacular, the company was fantastic. Holger's planning of the tour was exceptional and we did not want for anything. I only spent maybe $30 of money on tat. There are no shops to buy souvenirs, it's purely for riding. The riding requires intense concentration at a couple of times but it was entirely a very pleasurable experience. The trip to the volcano requires a degree of fitness. We all chose the Versys 250 which was a very capable bike and I would recommend it for this trip.Thank you Holger and my two friends. Danke schõn!

Everything was precisely organized. Bikes were new and well equipped. The guide was a great person to ride with. The whole tour was a good composition of all kinds of roads with its deal of sharp turns, steep climbs, bumpy countryside and deep wet dirt. Basicly I had all I wanted to and some more. I even suspect that they can somehow arrange weather)
