ABOUT US
Tom & Susan - St Bernards Pass

Formed in 2006, Global Motorcycle Tours is an independent UK-based motorcycle touring company. Having organised and led fully guided European group tours for 16 years, we now specialise exclusively in high-quality self-guided motorcycle holidays across Europe.


Our ongoing objective is to continuously enhance the quality of our tours, combining carefully planned routes, top-class hand-picked hotels, and exceptional customer service.


ABOUT THE TOURS

While most of our self-guided itineraries are suitable for both experienced continent-bound riders and those planning their first overseas adventure, we always encourage you to check that your chosen tour matches your riding experience. If you would like to discuss any aspect of a route or daily mileages, please do not hesitate to give us a call.


Our comprehensive tour packs provide everything you need for a stress-free holiday, including:


Detailed Route Maps & GPS Data: Clear daily routing with GPX files and key coordinates for easy navigation.


Comprehensive Tour Manual: Practical advice on preparing your motorcycle, packing guidelines, required documentation, and country-specific traffic regulations.


Destination & Hotel Information: Essential local highlights, hotel contact details, and ferry check-in guidance.


ACCOMMODATION & SERVICE

At Global Motorcycle Tours, we take great pride in the standard of accommodation we select. All our hotels are rated three or four stars with en-suite facilities and have been personally visited and approved by us. We evaluate every property against strict criteria: cleanliness, comfort, local cuisine, quality of facilities, and secure motorcycle parking. Please check our accommodation page or individual tour listings for specific hotel details.


Susan and I take immense pride in our company and are dedicated to ensuring you have a memorable touring experience. Please feel free to call us anytime for more information or simply to chat through your tour options.


ABOUT YOU


At Global Motorcycle Tours, we pride ourselves on catering to riders of all experience levels and abilities. Whether you are venturing onto the continent for the first time, have recently passed your test, or have been touring for many years, we do expect all participants to possess a solid level of riding competency and full control of their machine.


We deliberately choose not to grade our tours, as we believe arbitrary ratings can place unnecessary limits on what riders can achieve. However, some itineraries are naturally more challenging than others and include longer days in the saddle, so we always encourage you to select a route that aligns comfortably with your experience level.


Riders undertaking a self-guided tour remain fully responsible at all times for their own safety, the roadworthiness and control of their motorcycle, and the well-being of any pillion passenger travelling with them.


We strongly advise taking time to prepare thoroughly for your trip by reviewing the supplied maps, studying the daily routes, and reading all the documentation included in your tour pack. Given the wide variety of sat-nav units, routing algorithms, and mapping software on the market, all GPS files and route data provided by Global Motorcycle Tours should be used as an accurate guide rather than absolute gospel.
