Hi CJA, Thank you for contacting me. The price of the bike is the same. The guide service is 135 euros for the rider plus 50 euros for the passenger. That’s because it includes: fuel, ferry ticketsc drink and coffees and lunch fir both of you. The starting point in mandello del lario, 15 minutes train from varenna. Please contact me via e mail (it’s on my website) and tell me the day you would like to ride and which Moto Guzzi you would like to ride. Thank you so much. Mauro

Hi Grant, of course I suggest to visit Lake Como, which is where I do my tours. About the accommodations, I'd suggest to take a BnB in one of the villages at the lake. Yes you can join me in one of my tours. Please contact me directly for every detail. Kind regards. Mauro

Hi, the tour can start from Como or Mandello del Lario. It depends on the bike you choose. If you choose a Ducati, form Como. If you choose a Guzzi, from Mandello del Lario. Take a look at my website and choose the bike you prefer. As Ducati I provide the Scrambler and the Multistrada. As Guzzi, the V7, V9, Stelvio and California. You'll be able to be your husband's passenger, no problem. The beginning of October can be beautiful in Como. Good choice. Please, don't hesitate to contact me directly for any other questions. Thank you so much. Best regards. Mauro

Hi, actually my refund policy says this: There are no refunds if: - You cancel the tour after the limit of 3 weeks before the scheduled tour - a motorcycle is returned before the end of the hire period, or if a tour is curtailed or delated cause of the weather.  In all those cases you will lose the 50% as deposit. I don't know the Tripadvisor policy. Probably it contemplates the limit of 24 hours ahead.

Hi Fort, both of the day are good. Since you are at the Belvedere (Bellagio?) you can try both the Moto Guzzi (which are in Mandello del Lario) or the Ducati (which are in Como). At the moment, for those days you are the only riders, but some other people could join us in the future. The average day starts at 10:30 am and ends around 4:30 pm. The meeting points are in Como and Mandello del Lario (easy to get to). If you don't mind, we can keep in touch directly via e mail. Take a look at my website contacts. Thank you so much. Mauro

Hi Fort, you can definitely be his passenger. When would you like to do the tour? Thank you so much. Mauro

Hi Liz, about the Alps tour I'd suggest to consider the month when you would like to fo the tour and the experience level of the rider. The tour is not difficult and it's very enjoyable, but you need to be a quite good rider. About the month: June, July and August are the best ones. September can be ok, if the weather is good. I hope I've been exhautive. Kind regards Mauro

Hi Boyd Apologies for not seeing this query earlier. We emailed Mauro and he's most responsive and a very nice fellow too. I'd try emailing again. He also has an active Facebook page too that you could message. It's a fabulous day and an incredible experience. Cheers Michelle

Hi Jeric, I'm sorry but we have only bikes from 750cc and more. So you license is not enough. Thank you for contacting me. Kind regards Mauro
