McTours isn't just a motorcycle tour; it's an opportunity to intimately engage with the intricate tapestry of European beauty. If you're a discerning motorcyclist seeking a meticulously organised package holiday that traverses some of the finest roads on the continent, then McTours is your gateway to the ultimate motorcycle adventure. Come ride with us and experience Europe in a way that only the seasoned rider can truly appreciate.

Adventurous Guided Motorcycle Routes

Embark on an exhilarating two-wheeled odyssey across the stunning landscapes of Europe, as we invite you to join us for an unforgettable guided motorbike expedition. Our commitment is to transform your journey into an epic adventure, seamlessly blending convenience and excitement. Picture yourself conquering the open roads, winding through captivating routes that are tailor-made for motorcycling enthusiasts like you. Revel in the thrill of cruising at a leisurely pace, savouring every twist and turn as you forge unforgettable memories. When the day's ride is done, unwind in comfort and style at our carefully selected, top-notch hotels. Here's a sneak peek at the treasures awaiting you on our trips:

Quality Hotels

We select from top quality hotels that also offer good value for money available along each route. Most are 4 star rated and our standard proposition places each rider in their own en-suite room, so, you can rest in comfort and luxury after a long day of riding without being kept awake with someone else's snoring!

Many of the hotels we use have comprehensive leisure facilities and all selected hotels have been carefully vetted to ensure they serve a good range of food to suit different palates because we usually book for dinner, bed and breakfast.

You can resat assured that we also ensure there is suitable parking for your bike.

Carefully Selected Routes

We guide you along carefully researched, well-planned and well-designed routes to ensure you have a safe and fun ride. We offer a broad range of tours, some visiting different hotels each night and covering large geographical areas while others operate from a fixed base.

Fixed base options prove especially popular for those with non-biking partners because daily journeys explore an area in greater detail and return to the same hotel each night enabling your partner to enjoy the hotels leisure facilities and local sights while you are riding and of course there is no baggage to haul as we return to the same base each night.

Flexible and Bespoke Offers

Touring Europe by motorcycle can be flexible and bespoke. Our day trips are also popular as gifts for birthdays etc., and with cruise ship passengers who have limited time to explore ashore. Most riders come for our set tours lasting 4-16 nights and spend most of those days riding.

We have organised many bespoke packages including one that that lasted 5 weeks and visited 10 countries. Our 9 day, 8 night touring holiday with 7 day riding is the most popular. We have several different options available to you and can also customise the trip according to your requirements.

Motorcycle Rental

At our base in Scotland we own a fleet of motorbikes used exclusively on our Scottish tours, elsewhere we rent late model well-maintained motorcycles from select business partners, so, if you are planning touring Scotland, other parts of the UK of further afield though Europe by bike through McTours you don’t have to bring your own or try to find a rental agent in your destination country or region. In most locations we operate in Europe we can supply BMW, CFMOTO, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, Yamaha and other brands on request. We can offer adventure, touring, sport and cruiser styles thus, there is a bike to suit every rider. Naturally, if you want to bring your own bike that’s just fine with us!

Motorcycle Tours of Europe

There are many different and beautiful European destinations to explore such as the Spanish Portuguese Douro, or the Alps bordering Farnce, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Austria that we regularly tour. For those looking within the British Isles we have great Scottish, English, Welsh and Irish vacations each offering a unique adventure. We like to provide our clients with the benefit of choice in some of the most popular destinations with the best European biker roads within specific regions and cities or through entire countries. We also offer more specific packages and bespoke offerings such as for those wanting Harley-Davidson Tours UK or elsewhere in Europe or BMW Motorrad Adventures. Here are some of the most popular locations we visit:

Motorcycle Tours Scotland

We have always offered a broad range of Scottish Tours some focusing on parts of the nation’s history, one concentrating on locations in Scotland used in the filming of the Outlander TV series, and all traversing great twisty roads. During recent years two, in particular, generate regular interest.

Scotish Islands and Highlands

Visitors will discover great roads that will delight most riders. The scenery is beautiful from its rolling hills to dramatic mountains and over thirty thousand lochs and numerous islands, so, it is little surprise to find that Scotland is so often voted a top destination including being voted by Rough Guide readers as the most beautiful country in the World.

Motorcycle Rental Scotland

Motorcycle Tours Italy

We first added Italy to our itinerary in 2011 and have toured there every year since. Many of our past clients have favoured the north of the country around the Italian Lakes and Alps, Dolomites and Tyrol regions together with Tuscany though we have also toured the south, Sicily and Sardinia.

Starting in Naples we have offered a grand 16 day tour (including day of arrival and day of departure) that went to outstanding locations as we cross Campania to Puglia then sail over to Albania and onwards through Macedonia and Greece before returning to Italy.

Italy Albania Macedonia & Greece

Motorcycle Tours Spain

Spain was added in 2015 after a few years researching to verify the regions areas we wanted to offer. We quickly discovered how great the Spanish roads are focusing on Andalucia, the Pyrenees and the Spanish Portuguese border region.

Pyrenean Mountains Spain and France

Motorbiking Europe

Motorcycle Tours England

Northumberland, Yorkshire and the Lake District have always been popular areas for us because these offer a change from Glasgow and are easily reached. With a growing number of our UK based clients looking for a staycation we added The Cotswolds, Devon and Cornwall and have updated two of our former tours that embrace our favoured routes in the North of England.

Northumberland Motorcycle Tour

There is quite a contrast in houses as we move from east to west coast. In Yorkshire limestone prevails giving the traditional houses a yellowish hue complimented by red pantiles roofs whilst over in Cumbria Slate is the favoured building material which give blue, grey and greenish colours to the traditional properties. The landscape of both also differs greatly as those who join this tour will soon appreciate. Guided Motorcycle Tour Yorkshire

Face is an absolute legend for making sure that everyone is happy with every aspect of the tour and is the perfect host to share a few beers with over a meal. His tolerance of my initial inexperience was a very significant factor in my returning each year along with my gaining confidence.

Ian Leedham

I have been riding for 40 year and I chose Freedom Motorcycle Tours based on the reviews that I read. I think the bit I liked the most was the hotels. Freedom to me is professionalism and excellence.

Why he chooses Freedom, They’re a great company, cover all aspects of customer requirements. Excellent hosts and basically a great laugh. Couldn’t imagine doing these type of tours with another company. We are one big family, friends all over the UK. Great roads, great people, great company and a massive laugh. Lets you forget about general life and concentrate on biking.

Stuart Ross

Hello all of you beautiful dolls. Thanks for a great weeks holiday and plenty of laughs. Sorry about the singing, I can't help myself lol. A special thanks to Face and of course Dee for our great trip. Last but not list I'm now at home safe and sound. Two ring's as my mum would say. Hope to see you all again somewhere over rainbow. There's a song there somewhere I think. I will learn the words for next year. Cheers Kevin. 😁 😁 😁

Kevin Hurrell

I have just completed the 2023 Black forest tour B with https://freedommotorcycletours.com/ In short, don’t know these guys, never met them before the tour and therefore totally unbiased. Never done a tour before, never ridden in a group larger than 3 and never taken a bike to Europe. Start to finish, excellent!! Would not hesitate to recommend or use them again. Very good hosts and they worked very hard to give me a truly fab holiday. Thank you very much Dee and Face (Company owners and host on this tour) you made me feel very welcome and at home. Great company, fab group and amazing holiday. Big hugs and would be a pleasure to come on tour with you again. If you are in any doubt about which company to go on tour with in Europe. These guys are straight talking, no BS and excellent.

Keith Jolly

For us when we book a tour company we really are putting our trust in the hands of that company and the people that run it. And since our first trip in 2016 through to our last trip at the end of the 2019 season, Face, Dee and Freedom have made sure our tours away are the best they can be.

Matt and Shirley Ilott

We are now in our third year of touring with Freedom Motorcycle Tours and we honestly can not fault them. The pace is right, no one is pushed beyond their limits, the routes are great and the people they attract make it more worthwhile. Within hours everyone knows each other and friendships develop from an early stage to remain even outside of touring. Cant recommend Face and Dee enough and loads more touring to come!!

Gary and Kelly Cooper

"I've ridden through and around France for many years, but this was my first time in the Vercors Massif region as a base for daily rideouts and I'm so glad I booked it. A day and a half of riding got us into the foothills of the Alps and as soon as we reached the Vercors the big grin appeared and never left. This area of France has it all, a great mix of roads to test all abilities, fantastic mountain gorge views and safe viewing points for the all important photos. I enjoyed some of my best riding days on this trip and Freedom Motorcycle Tours certainly picked some of the best roads to ride on and made it an exciting & thoroughly enjoyable experience."

Charlie Spicer

The name says it all, I have done a few trips with FMT all been ace, trust me you have the BIGGEST smile ever an as always Dee an Face will literally move mountains to help you.

Keith Ramsden

I chose Freedom after doing some research online and checking out a few reviews and thought the package looked like the right type of holiday for me - and I was right! The riding was superb through beautiful scenery and the accommodation was excellent. Key factor which (for me) made it a success was the fact that it was well organised but with a laid back relaxed feel. Drop off marker system worked well and lets everyone ride at their own pace. Best recommendation is a re-booking - I have booked the Italian Lakes 2020.

Andrew Rowley

The Ardennes tour (2023) was my first European riding experience, having only passed my bike test 2 years ago (perfect storm of pandemic and mid-life crisis!). As a relatively new rider, I had some reservations about my ability, but I needn’t have worried - the Freedom Motorcycle Tour experience is incredibly welcoming and set up from the start to accommodate all levels of experience. I spent a fantastic few days with a great group of people, had a load of laughs, the riding was amazing, and the hotel was superb (great weather too!). Face and Dee are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and they make sure you have a great trip - I honestly can’t recommend it enough. Many of our group had been on previous tours with FMT, which says a lot, and I’ll definitely be going on another one; can’t wait!

Michael Taylor

Well what can I say that others haven't, first time on tour with a group from start to finish all instructions very clear and check in at EuroTunnel very easy, marker system explained well before hand and on the train and works very well. Then on to the best part the roads , views and people met on the tour was exceptional and I can't thank Face , the Freedom team and the rest of the group enough, for making it such a great experience they really know there stuff to get the most out of the tour with memorable for life. See you next year guys for another great tour.

Stephen Gregory

I have met and ridden with some of the nicest people that you could ever meet and trust whilst riding your bike. Any tour will only be as good as the people who run them, and Freedom Motorcycles Tours are truly awesome and amazing people.

Keith Walters

Freedom were very friendly and more accommodating. Just the dynamics of it was excellent. You just get out and ride. Dont need to worry about routes, bookings etc. You can actually enjoy riding stress free. Just outstanding and friendly.

Suresh Kopathalli

The Black Forest tour was my first organised motorcycle tour I had taken part in , the whole experience from start to finish was simply fantastic and memorable, Face and Dee are passionate about motorcycle touring and are the perfect tour hosts and guides, friendly, approachable and ready to share advice and knowledge at anytime during the tour , I was made most welcomed and was able to ride at my own pace without any pressure whatsoever, this is without doubt a 5 star recommendation from me and will definitely be touring with FMT again in the future , big thank you to Face and Dee for a wonderful experience 

Paul Johnson

Ticked all the Boxes. Back from another great tour with Freedom Motorcycles, through the sweeping and winding roads of France, to the Millau Viaduct. Led by Michael (AKA Face) and supported by Dee back in the office or, as sometimes happens, from the rear of the group, FMT Tours are well organised and never fail to disappoint - I’ve been on a few and have more booked. Face always seems to find roads to challenge riders of all abilities with a suitable balance of great riding, scenery, fuel, lunch and coffee stops. Hotels are always to a good standard and in locations close to suitable eateries allowing the group banter to continue well into the evening. I will be back again soon

David McConnachie

With FMT you get exactly that FREEDOM! Freedom to enjoy yourself not having to worry about routes, destinations, hotels etc. Its all well planned in a professional but relaxed manner so you can just enjoy the ride and chill out at night and enjoy your holiday. Once you have been on tour with FMT you just come back for more.

Glenn Regan

I chose Freedom because of the reviews, plus a personal recommendation. My favourite aspect was mixing with a bunch of like minded riders, and knowing you are going to be shown some great roads. This is a great way to tour Europe if you prefer to have it all arranged for you.

Anthony Ford

“My recent Vosges Mountains tour with FMT was not only my first group trip, but after many years of UK based riding also my first venture to mainland Europe by bike. Everything was really well organised, with clear communications and guidance from Face & Dee. The experience exceeded all my expectations and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip! I will definitely go with FMT again, and it’s a 5-star review from me!”

Unforgettable european motorcycle trip options.

Whether you call them vacations or holidays, motorcycles or motorbikes, RIDE Adventures would love to see you cruising on two wheels as you explore the breathtaking Alps or the spectacular Balkans. Motorcycling in Europe creates lasting memories and full cameras--we know, we've been there.

From the incredible historical opportunity that is exploring Europe, to the outstanding cuisines, scenery, and riding, if you're on this page, you probably know: There's no better way to explore than by motorcycle. Make it easy on yourself by having the rental bike you want waiting for you along with the host of services shown as "Included" in each of the trip packages below (click the Inclusions tab once looking at a tour.)

Missed Adventures offer that customer service, whilst providing professionally organized and well run motorcycle-touring holidays .

“It’s not often that what is promised, is delivered and indeed exceeded.” Rob from London, Northern and Central Spain Tour

Why choose a guided motorcycle tour in Europe with Missed Adventures

Our motorcycle tours do not involve excessively high mileage days and in no way are they a race against the clock or each other – no one gets left behind. Excessively high mileage days on a motorcycle are not in our opinion, an enjoyable or relaxing holiday – I have done plenty of this as a solo rider throughout the UK and in Europe in the past and it gets to the point where it is no longer a pleasure!

Our guided motorcycle tours are designed to be manageable by everyone . It should be enjoyable and relaxing for all – including any pillion passengers. We want you experience the benefits that an exclusive motorcycle-touring holiday has to offer.

We stay in beautiful hotels during our tours, offering quality rooms and excellent facilities. These hotels are city, town or village based – depending on the tour being run and they provide either covered and secure, or secure parking for your motorcycle at each overnight location.

We also have the benefit of going off the beaten track and staying in beautiful secluded locations. Our personal research for quality hotel accommodation, in the right areas on our routes, will give you the customer the upmost confidence that your accommodation is somewhere you would want to return to.

Ride the Alps with Rob Beach, the World's most experienced motorcycle tour guide. Turn Your Dreams Into Memories!

The crew at Beach's have been riding BMW motorcycles for half a century . Here are the bikes available on tour with us.

The Beach's don't "take you on tour". They present you with a magical playground for your amusement.

When two wheels is two-few, Beach's have an answer. Most of our great riding adventures may be driven.

Beach's Motorcycle Adventures, Ltd.

We turn dreams into memories.

Owned and operated by Rob & Gretchen Beach, Beach's Motorcycle Adventures is a specialized boutique agency that— since 1972 —has been creating and conducting remarkable motorcycle riding and driving adventures in countries throughout the world.

Rob & Gretchen personally guide most of Beach's tours, pursuing their passion for travel and motorcycling on a day-to-day basis.

In 2018 Rob Beach completed his 200th tour.

Why travel with the beachs, fully supported—guide optional —tours.

Each and every Beach tour features a guide on a motorcycle, and a support driver in the luggage van. On most European tours the guide duty falls to Rob & Gretchen Beach, the masters of Alpine motorcycle touring.

Ride with the guide daily, if you like. The pro is there at your service! And if you don't, the Beachs—more than any tour company out there—have worked hard to gather and present you with information, routes, points of interest, and other details so you may head off on your own, riding the route of your choice on your own schedule. Enjoy the ride your way .

The folk at Beach's don't dictate, but encourage . They don't lead, but advise .

Riding BMWs since 1969

Amazing motorcycles, brilliant tours. They go hand in hand.

For all these years the Beachs have been riding BMW motorcycles. With all of the new, remarkably varied, and interesting models in today's BMW lineup, that has proven to be a wise decision.

Our guides love the itineraries

... and we know you will too! Everyone at Beach's Motorcycle Adventures has a passion for traveling in Europe because it really is the best place to ride motorcycles. Sport-bike riders love the curves and challenges, touring riders revel in the scenery and enjoy the amenities. Everyone is awestruck by the mountains!

The routes and itineraries presented by the Beachs are through the best riding areas in the world. The Alps are their speciality—for 49 years Beach's Motorcycle Adventures has been associated with Alpine Adventures.

The World's oldest motorcycle tour company

... and a family-owned and operated business to boot! Rob is second-generation. Bob & Elizabeth Beach conducted the Beach's first tour of Europe in 1972.

Since that time they have operated from the same location. You are generally touring with the CEO.

Rob Beach first traveled the Alps as a passenger with his father in 1973, rode his first complete European tour in 1977, conducted his first Alpine Adventure in 1978, and created his first tour—the British Bat — in 1986.

Knowledge comes from study, expertise from experience. Other companies may train their guides, but it takes decades to develop the expertise found on every Beach tour.

50+ years of Alpine experience

It takes time to find "Rob Roads..." and time-and-time again Rob and crew are on the road making sure that it is as good as it was the last time.

Join them for the " Ride of a lifetime ."

BMW Motorrad certified guides

Beach's tours feature graduates of the BMW Motorrad International Tourguide Academy.

Wide choice of BMW models

Most models of the BMW motorcycle line are available for your European tour. A ride with Beach's Motorcycle Adventures is a great way to take an extended test ride of a new BMW.

What our Clients Say!

I have ridden with the Beachs for over 20 years and every experience has been superb. Great people, routes, motorcycle, food and accommodations. What else can one say? I would love to ride with them every year. If you love riding a motorcycle then you love motorcycle people. With the Beach family you get it all. A lifetime experience.

It was the best trip of our lives! We loved every single day and night on our Classic Alpine Adventure. We never laughed so hard. It was surreal thinking we were really in Europe and had adrenaline dripping out of our ears at the gorgeous scenery and those twisty switchbacks that were a blast! Thank you Rob and Gretchen for the memories!

Rob and Gretchen work their tails off, so that all we have to do every day is suit up and enjoy the terrific scenery and cultures. Rob and Gretchen are resourceful and possess a good sense of humor too. I recommend them every chance I get — the experience is wonderful. I’ve been twice and hope to go again in 2019. (He did!)

We had an amazing tour with Rob, Gretchen and Henri! They are extremely dedicated to making your trip the best it can be! They are great story tellers and such fun to be with!

Another Fantastic Ride - Alpine Adventure West The trip was an absolute BLAST! The routes ran through some absolutely stunning and beautiful scenery, with well-picked hotels awaiting each evening. All in all, a very well done package by Rob and Gretchen, who worked thru any need or request with skill and professionalism.

RideWithUs guided motorcycle tours 2024 and 2025

Guided Motorcycle Tours in Europe and UK

We plan our guided motorcycle tours as holidays to regions we know well.  We carefully select the best places to stay and show you the most rewarding places to visit. We also know the best way to get from A to B (without missing out on C).

We have extensive knowledge of Europe, especially the Alpine, Central and Eastern European regions. We fluently speak English, Hungarian, Serbian and Croatian. And we also have a basic grasp of German, Slovenian and some Italian on a good day!

Since we guide our tours, we keep our groups small.

We guide the tours, respecting the speed limits of the host countries. Therefore, our guided motorcycle tours will not meet your expectations if you are after a knee-down type of holiday.

The social aspect of our guided motorcycle tours is essential to us, so we try and include most of the evening meals when we all eat together. Having said that, we provide a detailed route pack with daily itineraries, GPX files and hotel details, so you have the option to make your way to the hotels and re-join the group for an evening meal.

Even thou we guide our tours, we do expect everyone to be able to find their way to the hotel if they get separated from the group. So it is in your interest to know how to use your navigation kit.

Our European guided motorcycle tours start and finish in Folkestone. However, if you prefer a different crossing, just let us know.

Since we organise our guided motorcycle tours as holidays, the daily mileages very really if ever, go over 300 miles. Regular stops at 70 – 80 miles are incorporated, and they can be anything from petrol, a quick dash to the toilet or longer coffee and lunch breaks.

RideWithUs guided motorcycle tours are holidays that bring together like-minded people. Our business is to put the tours together using our insider knowledge of the regions. We do not advise or judge anybody as to what to ride and how to ride, but we do expect everybody to be able to handle their bikes and ride the roads we include in our tours. Our comprehensive tour pack is sent to you six weeks before the tour starts and provides all the information for you to get prepared.

We look forward to RidingWithYou on our guided motorcycle tours!

Routes & tourist attractions

So many of the unique insights and special memories from RideWithUs motorcycle tours and holidays come from the tourist attractions we visit and the people we meet. With this in mind, we pay special attention to providing the right balance between riding the best roads and allowing enough time to explore and experience each region. This includes visits to the main tourist attractions, national parks, museums, monuments, local farms and vineyards or even boat and train day trips. 

Please visit our  Facebook page for up-to-date information regarding RideWithUs motorcycle tours and holidays.

Channel Crossing

We predominantly use the Eurotunnel to cross the Channel for our guided motorcycle tours and holidays. This eliminates any potential complaints of seasickness, makes boarding and disembarkation much quicker, and the crossing is not affected by adverse weather conditions. Another important factor is flexibility. On the return leg of our motorcycle tours and holidays, if we arrive back to the check-in area at Calais before our scheduled departure time, there is always a realistic possibility of boarding the first available train. With its own motorway junction (11a M20), access to the Passenger Terminal couldn’t be simpler. Prior to boarding the shuttles, you will pass through both UK and French frontier controls, which means on arrival in France, you simply drive off the shuttle onto the European motorway network. 

As we specialise in organising motorcycle tours and holidays for smaller groups (12 bikes max.) and individuals, we have more choice in selecting the types of accommodation we use. We usually opt for family-run hotels where the owners extend a genuine welcome to motorcyclists. They are often situated in rural out-of-town locations, offer excellent customer service, and provide a homely ambience. However, pending on tour, we also use good quality elegant town hotels that are conveniently located near the city centres and tourist attractions. Our chosen hotels are mainly four-star with secure motorcycle parking. 

Authentic experience is a big part of any holiday, and guided motorcycle tours and holidays are no exception. Each region we visit on our tours offers its own unique selection of historical, cultural and social aspects. And often, the best way to experience all of these aspects together is through the local cuisine. Wherever we stay on our motorcycle tours and holidays, we make it our priority to include the local guest houses, restaurants, taverns and eateries that serve traditional home-made specialities. 

It is not essential, but we recommend it. If you have never toured before, it’s a good way to find out if you like it or not. 

Usually twelve. No more than fifteen. 

The most we would ride in one day is about up to 300 miles. However, we like to stick to about 250 miles, or less when possible. It also depends on what kind of roads we ride. If it is a motorway then we cover a longer distance. If we ride the A and B roads then it is usually a shorter mileage.

It is entirely your choice who you decide to book with. Please spare some time to read our itineraries and how we run our tours. If we tick the boxes then there is your answer and we will welcome you.  

It all depends. Each trip tends to be different. The group usually breaks down into smaller units. As long as everyone arrives safely at a destination we are fine with whatever riding arrangements are agreed.  

You do not have to have a  SatNav  but we would recommend it. It makes life much easier when you are on the road. Nowadays most people have  SatNavs . Without one you will not be able to take full advantage of our GPX routes.  

As we run our tours only in the  UK  and mainland  Europe  we do not offer support vehicles. With comprehensive roadside recovery there is no need for a support vehicle. These guys are much better qualified and equipped to deal with any breakdowns. So we let the professionals do their job.   

If it is a shorter tour where comfort and luggage are not an issue then any bike over 400cc will do.  For a trip that is longer than 4-5 days, and you have a pillion as well, then a larger capacity machine would be more advantageous.  

Not sure about the average age but the range tends to be between 35 and 60+. But age is not important, everyone is welcome.  

It is not just that we welcome female riders but we also try to encourage them to join our tours.  

Yes. Anything can be organised. If you have special requirements regarding departure ports please get in touch.  

Yes. There are pillion riders joining our tours. In average perhaps more than half of the bikes on a tour are with pillion riders.  

On guided tours the dates are fixed. On self guided tours it all depends on your exact requirements.  

Good quality 3 and 4 star.  

Because of the safety of the group and also we cannot afford to risk our riding licences we follow the speed limits of a host country.  

Secure parking is one of the main criteria regarding our accommodation selection.  

All breakfasts are included as well as most of the evening meals. On days off we usually suggest to people to make their own eating arrangements. This gives you an opportunity to explore. However, we always end up eating together!

Most of our destinations we visit ourselves at some point during our private touring or skiing holidays. Some of them came about from various races we do such as ultra marathons, triathlons,  duathlons  and  Iron   Man.  We also get lots of ideas and requests from our clients, other riders and write-ups from touring magazines.  

No, we do not ride every day especially during the longer tours. We try to include as many days off as possible. We try to give you enough free time to explore and enjoy the destinations.  

The free days are included for you to do whatever you wish. You might decide to rest, wander around, or visit some local tourist attractions. However, we always have a suggested riding option available if anyone fancies a ride. For more information please refer to the trip itineraries.   

This all depends on the type and the seriousness of illness or injury. Your travel insurance should cover your hospital treatment and bike insurance should cover the cost of shipping your bike back to the  UK . If it is a relatively short illness or non-serious injury we ( RideWithUs ) will do our best to assist you in re-joining the rest of the tour as soon as possible.  

Fortunately, so far we have never cancelled a tour. Not all the tours got booked to their full capacity but we have always fulfilled our commitment to our clients. We hope and do our best to keep it that way.   

Each tour page has a  Book Now  button. Fill in the booking form and we’ll take it from there.   

This really depends on how long before the departure date you cancel (please refer to our terms and conditions page). 

We accept all above.

The UK has a huge amount to offer, but if you fancy venturing further afield then here are ten motorcycle trips in Europe that might be of interest. Obviously, the list isn’t exhaustive, but should offer some idea as to great directions and destinations to consider. The main thing to remember is that, while it can be nerve wracking, riding in Europe is little different to the UK – once you get the hang of being on the other side of the road and not being able to speak the lingo. Take your time, and don’t give yourself unreasonable time frames or distances to cover. Above all though… enjoy the ride!

1. The Iceland Ring Road

Where does it start?  Reykjavik

Where does it end?  Reykjavik 

How long is it?  828 miles

Why’s it great?  

The ring road of Iceland is by no means the best route on the island, but it does serve as a great jump off point for exploring the more interesting corners of the island.

What do I need to know? 

Getting to Iceland is the tricky part. You can either take the two-day ferry from the top of Denmark (about a 1000 mile run from the UK) or ship your bike with Eimskip  out of Immingham and fly in to meet it. Both options cost roughly the same at around £1000 by the time you’ve paid for either the flights if you’re shipping in, or the travelling costs through Europe if you’re taking the ferry. Not cheap, granted, but then bike rental is on the expensive side, with costs of around 250 Euros per day, which might make sense if you’re there for less than seven days. 

Anything else? 

Be prepared for poor weather even in summer; it can be a bleak place. Prices are high, especially for restaurant meals, alcohol and hotels, but if you’re camping and stove cooking it shouldn’t cost you any more than travelling to mainland Europe. The roads are surprisingly well surfaced, with the unpaved F roads heading into more remote, challenging places that are perfect for trail bike riders. But even a Harley could make a good fist of touring Iceland. For more information read the full BikeSocial report here .

2. Trans European Trail

Where does it start ? Wherever you like

Where does it end?  Wherever you finish

How long is it?  21,000 miles

Why is it great?  

A hugely ambitious project – initiated by Brit John Ross – to map a largely unpaved route from the top to the bottom of Europe, and from the East to the West. The route map is free to download and should keep people entertained for years.

As well as through the UK, the TET passes through 27 other countries, including the Scandinavian countries - Norway, Sweden and Denmark, the southern Mediterranean nations of Spain, Greece and Italy, the Eastern European countries of Poland, Romania and Serbia, as well as France, Germany and Belgium. The route spends as much time away from tarmac as possible, though there are linking paved sections taking you from one trail to another. The Scandinavian countries seem to have miles of easy forestry trails, with Portugal and Spain also offering plenty of variety. 

Bike choice is a big factor and while plenty of the TET is accessible to large capacity adventure machines, a lot comes down to skill level and tyre choice. A lighter trail bike might make life easier, and even look at the possibility of renting a machine out there, enabling you to maximise your holiday time on the trails, rather than ploughing through Europe to get there.

The Facebook group  is a great place for picking up advice for local riders.  

To download the maps and to find out more visit www.transeurotrail.org

3. The Transfăgărășan Highway

Where does it start?  Bascov

Where does it end?  Sibiu

How long is it?  56 miles

Why is it great?

An obvious suggestion ever since Top Gear featured it a few years back, the road definitely carries some romance and gives good reason to push east out of western Europe.

What do I need to know?

The road is 56 miles in length and crosses the southern section of the Carpathian Mountains. It’s located approximately 130 miles west of the Romanian capital Bucharest, and almost 1500 miles east of Dover, meaning that it’s going to need a couple of weeks to get out there and back. The advice, if you do go, is to get there early as traffic can be dense.

Check the road is open before heading out. Generally, it’s closed from mid-October to early June due to snow, so the window is short. In a way the road would arguably best serve as a marker for a wider trip, with good excuse for finding an interesting route for getting down there and back. A route down through the Balkan countries of Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia is increasingly popular with bikers, while a route back through the Alps would give you the best of both worlds.

But so much depends on how much time you have. If you’re racing to get down there and racing to get back, then maybe consider an interesting road a little closer to home. Good information can be found here .

4. The Wild Atlantic Way

Where does it start?  Kinsale, County Cork

Where does it end?  Londonderry

How long is it?  1553 miles

Why is it great? 

Officially the longest coastal route in the world, and with inexpensive ferries from the Welsh ports of either Fishguard or Holyhead, the Wild Atlantic Way is a dream destination for those with limited time or looking for adventure a little closer to home.  

It’s not so much a point-to-point route, more a theme of travel along the coastline of Ireland, covering a total distance of 1553 miles and passing through nine counties and three provinces. The tourist board designates six regions of the route; Northern Headlands, Surf Coast, Bay Coast, Cliff Coast, Southern Peninsulas and Haven Coast, with the Southern Peninsula likely to be increasingly popular as it’s just off shore that Great Skellig – the island featured in the latest Star Wars movies, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi – can be found, with boats from the mainland able to take you there.

Anything else?

Prepare for rain and be realistic about distances. Those narrow country lanes take a lot longer to navigate than a regular A-road, so 150 miles a day might be the top end of what’s manageable. To plan a route or to find out more head to the official site at www.wildatlanticway.com

5. The Three Passes of Switzerland 

Where does it start?  Andermatt 

Where does end?  Andermatt

How long is it?  80 miles

An easy to navigate route that takes in three amazing Alpine passes with the full route do-able in a day.  

The three passes of Susten, Furka and Grimsel are in the Alpine region of Switzerland, crossing the Bernese Alps at an elevation above 2000 metres. The passes are generally closed between October and May due to show.

The Grimsel is a personal favourite due to the multiple well-surfaced switchbacks on the way up, heading clockwise, with emerald blue lakes on the way down. The Furka Pass is higher, at a peak of 2429 metres, and arguably tighter and not as well surfaced, but still an excellent riding road, as is Susten. 

The small Alpine town of Andermatt is a good place to base yourself, with all the facilities and some great riding east of there if you wish to venture further into Switzerland. Be wary of Switzerland’s strict speed limits and try not to get carried away; fines are harsh. Also be wary of busy weekend traffic, and as with all foreign riding, try to keep within your own limits and enjoy the scenery. If you have the time then the Nufenen Pass, just to the south of the loop, is also worth riding.

Time wise, if you push straight through France it is easily possible to do this loop and be back home again in a week. 

6. Verdon Gorge

Where does it start?  Moustiers-Sainte-Marie

Where does it end?  Moustiers-Sainte-Marie

The Verdon Gorge is a magnificent site in itself – Europe’s Grand Canyon – and the roads around it match it for excitement. The coastal resorts of Nice and Monaco aren’t far away either. 

The Verdon Gorge is down in the south of France, just to the north of Nice and Monaco. It’s 25 kilometres in length and 700 metres deep, and was formed by the Verdon River. Much like most canyons, it creeps up on you; one minute the land is flat, the next minute you’re at the rim of a huge canyon. The road around it is what you’re going for, with endless twisting sections and parts where it traces right across the top of the rim, a steel barrier the only thing stopping you from a long drop to the bottom.

Great riding, great scenery, great weather. And if you want to explore the gorge further then venture along D23, an interior road (broken tarmac in the main) that drops south from the town of La Palud-sur-Verdon on the north side of the rim. Camping is a good option for accommodation in this region, with campsites plentiful.

As with any popular tourist place, traffic can be an issue in peak season, but at least unlike the Alpine passes listed above, you can ride the Verdon Gorge most of the year, so aim for the shoulder season of spring or autumn and you’ll be fine. Riding clockwise is recommended for the novice rider as you’re not as exposed to the drops, and if you don’t fancy riding all the way down to the South of France, consider using www.bikeshuttle.co.uk , who can freight your bike down to Toulouse while your fly. It still leaves a 300 mile ride to the Gorge, but that might be a better option than riding from your home in the UK, especially if time is a factor.

7. The Normandy Beaches

Where does it start?  Rouen

Where does it end?   Mont Saint-Michael

How long is it?  340 miles

Good riding as well as the historical element makes for an easily accessible overseas road trip.   

This coastline of France has long held significance in the minds of British visitors. It’s also easy to access and doesn’t feel that far from home, so for the novice overseas explorer it’s not going to be as intimidating as heading out to the Alps for example.

The route starts in the Normandy capital of Rouen, where you’ll find lots of history dating back to medieval times, before heading towards the Normandy Beaches, and passing through Caen where you’ll find a selection of war museums at the old castle. Then you have the beaches; Omaha Beach with cliffs riddled with German bunkers, Juno Beach where the Canadians came ashore, Utah Beach led by the US 4th infantry, Gold Beach at Arromanches – where the British 50th Infantry Division landed – and Sword Beach on the left flank, where the 6th Airborne Division landed.

The war graves of the Bayeux War Cemetery, Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, Ranville, Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery and the La Cambe German War Cemetery can also all be visited in this area.

The route finally concludes with the stunning medieval monastery at Mont Saint-Michael. The Brittany ferries website – a great option for getting over there – has a superb guide to the region at www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/d-day-guide

Anything Else?

The cheapest way of getting there is via the Dover-Calais route, but for more convenience consider sailing from Portsmouth to either Le Havre, Caen or Cherbourg, which can also be reached via a ferry from Poole. Take one of these options and you could make a good tour of it even in the time frame of a long weekend. For more information on Normandy visit the tourist board website .

8. The Garmisch Run

Where does it start?  Calais, France

Where does it end?  Garmisch, Germany 

How long is it?  715 miles

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a town in southern Bavaria that every year plays host to the biggest BMW gathering in the world (it’s also open to riders of any bike) – it’s well worth heading down to. This is a scenic way of getting there.  

For 2018 the event is from 6 th to 8 th July, with this route taking three days to get down there at a leisurely pace, with time to enjoy some stop-offs on the way. You can do the ride back via motorways in a day if needs be, but it’s best if you have time to make an interesting round-trip of it.

From Calais take the A26/E7 all the way down to junction 9 near Bonavis. From there follow the 644 to Le Catelet, then the D28 to the D960 all the way to Vernis.

From there, the D966 to Montcornet, D946 to Vouziers, D982 to Sainte-Menehould, then A4 and finally D904 and D3 down to Port-a-Mousson for the first night’s stop. You’ll find a good choice of hotels here.

On the second day, head across country on the D913 and D955 to the N4, aiming for Baden-Baden. South from here begins the famous B500 through the Black Forest, aiming for somewhere around the town of Schluchsee, 105 miles to the south of Baden-Baden. Be mindful that the B500 can be busy with tourist traffic and police.

The final day (and to be honest you could shorten this run down to two days if you got cracking) is east along the German/Austrian border, aiming for Friedrichshafen on the shores of Lake Constance. The 308 east from there takes you to the 199 and briefly into Austria, before returning to Germany on the 187 where you’ll soon arrive in Garmisch.

You can find route maps here:

Day One: https://www.motogoloco.com/map/?route=9955 Day Two: https://www.motogoloco.com/map/?route=9956 Day Three: https://www.motogoloco.com/map?route=9957

Book early if you want accommodation in the town during the event as it gets busy with tens of thousands of bikers over the weekend. It is something of a spectacle, even for those not interested in the BMW brand. The food and drink are good, and there’s free camping in the meadows beneath the ski mountains. The event itself is also free to attend – a great excuse for a road trip. 

9. The Alpine Loop, including Stelvio

Where does it start?  Garmisch 

Where does it end?  Garmisch 

How long is it?  200 miles

If you’ve made it down to Garmisch, this is a fine route for exploring some of the best mountain roads through the Alps .

Heading clockwise, this route takes you on two good passes of Stelvio and the excellent Timmelsjoch that connects the Ötztal valley in the Austrian state of Tyrol to the Passeier Valley in the Italian province of South Tyrol.

On the Italian side, the road to reach the summit is called SS44bis, and on the Austrian side, there’s a toll road, called Timmelsjoch Hochalpenstrasse. From Garmisch take the E533 down to the A12, then 186 south to the ski resort of Sölden (or Soelden) and the start of the Timmelsjoch. Sölden is an upmarket resort with some camping options.

The Ötztal Glacier Road up from Sölden to the glacier (and back) is also a must-ride, with a nominal toll charge mid-way up. From there south along the Timmelsjoch, with a single journey by motorcycle costing 14 Euros, but well worth it, with 38 kilometres of twisting Alpine road that’s well-surfaced and well-sighted. From there take the SS44 leading to Merano, west on the SS38 with a left turn leading to the famous Stelvio Pass.

The Stelvio is maybe a touch over-rated, but it’s still worth riding. It’s quite busy and narrow in places, but worth it for the experience. The town of Bormio at the bottom has good facilities, while onto Livingo has you pointing north, back towards Garmisch, with the SS41 east to the SS40 running north, before figuring your way back to Garmisch, or simply heading back from the foot of the Stelvio heading west to where you could link up with the Furka-Susten-Grimsel Pass listed earlier. 

While it takes effort to get through France to the Alps, it is worth it, though try not to rush it and look for ways of avoiding the monotony of the motorways where possible.

10. The Road to the Fjords 

Where does it start?  Bergen  

Where does it end?  Kristiansand 

How long is it?  273 miles

This is a road trip in itself – up along the coast of Norway – but the best bit is that upon reaching Bergen, a world of opportunity opens up for exploring the famous Norwegian fjords.

This route begins in the port town of Kristiansand, which can be reached by catching a ferry from Hirtshals at the top of Denmark. This is a two-hour ferry, operated by either Color Line  or Fjord Line ,  with multiple sailings throughout the day and costs around £90 return.

There’s no easy way of reaching the top of Denmark to begin with – not since DFDS stopped its route from the UK to Denmark back in 2014. Harwich to the Hook of Holland is about the best you’ll get, with a 650mile slog to Hirtshals from there.

Once in Norway, the route is easy to follow along the E39, winding along the coast, passing through tunnels and with short ferry crossings between the longer stretches. Once you’ve reached Bergen the options are endless for exploring the Fjords, all of which are no more than a day’s ride away, including Hardangerfjord and Aurlandsfjorden. Or park the bike and take a boat ride.  

Norway is a surprisingly easy country to explore, with good road conditions, plentiful camping and lodging facilities and a well-established tourist network. Some push onto Nordkapp at the very top, but without doing that extra huge distance, there’s plenty to be seen in South and Central Norway, with it easy to bolt on a side tour through Sweden. If you’re into your trail riding, consider combining it with parts of the TET listed above.

Do I need travel insurance?

Just like any holiday, a trip on a motorcycle – be it in the UK, Europe or beyond – can be ruined by delays, lost documents, illness and more. There are plenty of travel insurance options, but you need to make sure you get a policy that includes riding motorcycles, and if it does, that it's for bikes of the engine size you'll be riding (many only cover up to 250cc). At its most basic, you should look for insurance that provides cover for the following: 

• Medical expenses
• Loss or theft of personal possessions
• Lost or delayed luggage
• Loss of your passport and other documents
• Travel delays and disruptions
• Having to cut your holiday short

In addition though, if you’re taking a motorcycle (or you're renting one while you’re away) be sure that your insurer will cover you for any medical expenses, should you have an accident. You must also think about where you’re riding – some policies won’t cover you if you’re trail or enduro riding, or if you’re on a race track. Remember – this isn’t about your bike being covered, it’s about your medical expenses, should the worst happen.

If you're only going away once, a single-trip policy will likely be all you need, but also consider an annual policy, which could extend to cover your family holidays too (a good insurer should also be able to offer cover for your whole family). 

BikeSocial’s parent company, Bennetts, has a motorcycle-specific travel insurance policy – find out if it suits your needs by  clicking here .
