Art, an experienced motorcycle tourer,
explains that, “whenever we’d go on
tours abroad, we’d tell the operator to
put us on the backroads, hitting as many
villages as possible, experiencing the
local cuisine, and lodging.” Par Motorrad
shares the same philosophy with their
local routes. Art and Philippe’s tours
involve much more than you hopping on
a bike, and riding off into the sunset.
The tour packages of Par Motorrad
vary from a day trip that originates
in Manila to the historic province of
Bataan, or heading down to the coastal
towns of Batangas; to guided tours
that can take up to 20 riding days,
covering Luzon, Visayas, and
Mindanao, hitting the best sights
along the way. Another option is the
customized tour where your wish
list of places to go and things to do
are taken into consideration, and
the best possible itinerary planned
out. Regardless of your chosen
adventure, you’ll be in good hands,
as Par Motorrad boasts the most
experienced and best-qualified
guides in the country.
All staff are trained in first-aid,
and the company has a network of
assets that range from carefully selected
