Description
Winter in Europe is the season there, enjoy the summer on the other side of the equator, while the cold season stays back home. Cape Town, the Garden Route, the Winelands, Route 62, animal safaris, and the Cape of Good Hope are the highlights here. We ride this guided tour with one of our connoisseurs as a travel companion and on the bikes of one of the most iconic motorcycle brands of all times - "Harley-Davidson®".
We have prepared a well-planned tour for you, which includes a good number of kilometers of motorcycling every day, but also includes some sightseeing on the outskirts. The motorcycles for our guided tours mostly come from the program of Harley-Davidson® authorized rentals™. This means we have an excellent selection of the latest models with few miles, all of which are well prepared for you. Another advantage is that the whole tour is accompanied by a van. Here, the necessary luggage is stored during the tour and, depending on space availability, accompanying persons can also ride in the van - for you, this means pure motorcycling!
