Does this tour require attendees to drive the motorbikes? Would we need to have an international motor license? Or is there someone driving the motorbikes for us?

To engage this tour, you'd better ride motorcycles on your own to experience the feeling of freedom as well as explore beautiful sites with your own eyes. And that would be good if you have International Driver's Permits to be legal riders here, however, in the worst cases, you have not licenses, it is still ok for you to ride motorcycles as long as you must ride perfectly. And even if you don't want to ride bikes on your own, we can still arrange drivers to carry you on the back, however, this way would make the cost a bit higher.
