About ADVPaths
What is ADVPaths?
ADVPaths is a licensed adventure motorcycle tour operator based in Seville, Spain. Founded in 2023, we specialise in guided and custom private motorcycle tours across six destinations: Morocco, Japan, Spain, Turkey, Vietnam, and South Africa. Every tour is designed and led by local expert guides who know every pass, hidden road, and viewpoint in their country.
Where is ADVPaths based?
Our headquarters are in Seville, Spain. Our destination managers are based in-country — Morocco, Japan, Turkey, Vietnam, and South Africa — which is what makes our local knowledge genuinely unmatched.
How long has ADVPaths been operating?
ADVPaths Global SLU was founded in 2023. In that time we have guided riders across six countries on three continents, earning five-star reviews on every tour we’ve run.
Booking & Tours
Do I need to own a motorcycle to join an ADVPaths tour?
No. We arrange high-quality rental motorcycles for every destination — from BMW GS adventure bikes in Morocco to Honda NC750X and Yamaha Tracer 9 GT in Japan, and Ducati Desert X in Turkey. You are also welcome to ship your own bike if it’s practical for the destination.
What skill level do I need?
Our tours cater to a range of skill levels, from confident beginners to experienced riders. We’ll recommend routes and bikes that match your abilities. You do need a valid motorcycle licence and, for international tours, an International Driving Permit (IDP).
How many riders are in each group?
We keep our groups deliberately small — typically between 6 and 10 riders. This means more personalised attention from guides, easier logistics in remote areas, and a much better riding experience than you get with large commercial tour groups.
Can I book a private tour just for my group?
Yes. Private custom tours are one of our specialities. You choose the destination, we build the itinerary around your riding style, schedule, and interests. Contact us to start planning.
What is included in the tour price?
All ADVPaths tours include: motorcycle rental, all accommodation (4–5 star hotels, luxury riads or safari lodges), welcome and farewell dinners, daily breakfasts, airport transfers on arrival and departure day, a local expert guide on a motorcycle, support vehicle for luggage and assistance, and all route planning and logistics. International flights are not included.
What is not included?
International flights, personal travel insurance, lunches during riding days, optional activities or excursions, and personal expenses.
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes — comprehensive travel insurance including medical evacuation is mandatory for all ADVPaths tours. We strongly recommend a policy that specifically covers motorcycle riding abroad.
Destinations & Routes
Which destinations does ADVPaths offer?
We currently offer guided motorcycle tours in six destinations: Morocco (12 days, from €4,850), Japan (12 days, from €8,650), Spain (from €5,000), Turkey (14 days, from €5,780), Vietnam (from €3,800), and South Africa (from €7,000).
Which tour is best for a first-time motorcycle tourist?
Vietnam and Morocco are our most popular choices for first-time motorcycle tourists. Vietnam offers incredible variety in a compact country with manageable daily distances. Morocco combines desert, mountains, and Atlantic coastline — visually dramatic but well-paced. Spain is also an excellent first choice if you prefer to stay closer to home with familiar road standards.
Which destination has the best roads for sport-touring riders?
Japan is consistently rated our best destination for sport-touring riders. The Japanese Alps offer technical, perfectly surfaced mountain roads with almost no traffic. Turkey’s Taurus Mountains and coastal twisties are also exceptional. Spain’s Andalusian mountain passes are world-class.
What Makes ADVPaths Different
How is ADVPaths different from large motorcycle tour companies?
Three things set us apart. First, genuinely local guides: our destination managers live and ride in the countries they guide. Second, small group sizes (6–10 riders) mean a fundamentally better experience than the 15–20 rider groups common with larger operators. Third, our customisation: we build private tours around your preferences, not the other way around.
Are ADVPaths tours luxury or budget?
Our tours are premium. We use 4 and 5-star hotels, luxury riads in Morocco, and safari lodges in South Africa. The experience is designed to be exceptional both on and off the bike.
Does ADVPaths have reviews I can read?
Yes. You can read verified Google reviews on our reviews page and on our homepage. We’ve maintained a five-star average across all tours run since 2023.
