Magellan is quite simply the best motorcycle touring company I have traveled with (& I've been with a few!). Absolutely superb customer service and the guides are just great - extremely helpful, and nothing is too much trouble for them. You are very well looked after throughout the whole trip!
Two more guided trips booked for 2021, with more to follow in the future!
The level of planning they put into their tours is amazing. Fantastic roads, superb hotels, all focused around having the best possible time on your bike. I've only had the fortune to meet one of their guides, but if he is anything to go by, they are a passionate, dedicated, encouraging, humorous group of human beings who love their jobs.
