CLEAR GUIDELINES
Everything you need to know before riding with us in Portugal. We keep bureaucracy completely hassle-free.
Valid EU motorcycle licenses (A / A2) or valid motorcycle licenses issued by your home country covering the bike engine size are fully recognized for tourist stays in Portugal.
On the day of your tour, you only need to bring your valid original driver’s license (physical or official digital format from your country). No passport or additional paperwork is required at check-in.
All our guided tours include comprehensive motorcycle insurance, fuel, tolls, and sanitized helmets. Minimum age for self-piloting is 21 years old. For Co-Rider (passenger) experiences, there is no minimum age requirement and no driver’s license needed .
Don’t hold a motorcycle license, or simply prefer to take in the city without navigating foreign traffic? Ride in a comfortable passenger seat behind one of our professional pilots: the Ribeira and its bridges, the Douro river road and the Atlantic coast, at your pace.
