Overview

Motorcycle tours Europe at a glance

Europe packs more riding into a short distance than any other continent: tight switchbacks over the Western Alps, Croatia's Adriatic coast, lonely gravel roads through the Dinaric mountains and Norway's fjord roads. Whether a paved pass tour on an adventure bike or a multi-day off-road trip in the Balkans – at Motourismo you'll find guided trips with local guides as well as self-guided tours for anyone who prefers their own pace. This page carries only what can actually be booked: fixed departures, vetted operators, stated inclusions. Guided motorcycle tours Europe ride in small groups with a local guide and a support vehicle; self-guided versions hand you the same route with a roadbook and accommodation already booked, but leave the pace and the breaks to you. Whether a trip covers one country or links several is decided by the routes above – or country by country.

What a trip costs, which riding level it asks for and what is included is stated on every tour, before you book.

Riding regions

The riding regions of Europe

Riding regions do not follow borders. These are what decides how a trip feels – and which month it makes sense in.

  • The Alps

    The Alps

    The densest corridor of mountain passes in the world: from the Valais through the Dolomites to the Julian Alps, hundreds of kilometres of switchbacks sit in a very small space. Four countries in a single riding day is normal; the stages stay short, the altitude gain does not.

    Surface
    Tarmac, high passes, short gravel detours
    Demands
    Beginner to advanced
    Season
    June to September, passes open from late May
  • The Balkans

    The Balkans

    Between the Adriatic and the edge of the Carpathians lies Europe's last large riding region with almost no traffic: coast roads in Croatia and Montenegro, empty mountain tracks in the Albanian highlands and the gravel routes of Bosnia. You cross borders several times a day here – passport and green card in the tank bag.

    Surface
    Tarmac and gravel, uneven surface quality
    Demands
    Advanced
    Season
    May to October, hot midsummer on the coast
  • The Pyrenees

    The Pyrenees

    Over 430 kilometres as the crow flies the range separates France and Spain – and connects them across a good two dozen passes. The northern side is green and tight, the southern side dry and wide, with Andorra as a fuel stop in between. Far less traffic than the Alps at almost the same corner density.

    Surface
    Tarmac, long switchback climbs
    Demands
    Beginner to advanced
    Season
    May to October
  • The Carpathians

    The Carpathians

    The arc from Poland and Slovakia down to Romania carries two of the continent's most photographed mountain roads, the Transfăgărășan and the Transalpina. In between: forested ranges, shepherd villages, barely any tourism and riding days on which you see more horse carts than coaches.

    Surface
    Tarmac, occasional gravel stages
    Demands
    Beginner to advanced
    Season
    June to September
  • Scandinavia & Iceland

    Scandinavia & Iceland

    The north rides differently: fjord roads and ferries in Norway, endless forest tracks in Sweden, gravel and hourly weather changes in Iceland. In midsummer the days barely end, the distances are large and fuel stations rare – planning counts for more here than cornering technique.

    Surface
    Tarmac, gravel, ferry crossings
    Demands
    Advanced
    Season
    June to August
  • The Baltics

    The Baltics

    Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia can be ridden as one loop inside a week: flat, very well surfaced roads, pine forest, Baltic beaches and old towns that sit close together. A calm region for long stages without pass stress – and the classic way into a trip heading further north-east.

    Surface
    Tarmac, occasional sand tracks
    Demands
    Beginner
    Season
    May to September

All departures in the tour calendar

Europe rides almost year-round – the region is what matters. The high Alpine passes only clear of snow from June and stay open until September. The south – Iberian Peninsula, Adriatic and Greece – invites riding from early spring into autumn and is often very hot at the height of summer. Scandinavia and Iceland have a short, intense window in high summer with long, bright days.

June–September

Alps & Pyrenees

passes clear of snow, stable mountain weather

March–May & September–November

Iberian Peninsula

pleasantly warm, very hot at peak summer

May–October

Balkans & Adriatic

warm coasts, dry gravel tracks in the mountains

June–August

Scandinavia & Iceland

long days, open mountain roads

  • „Eine sehr gut gemachte Website, die das Angebot vollständig abdeckt und der man anmerkt, dass die Angebote persönlich recherchiert sind. Eine eigene Suche kann man sich ersparen. Die eigentliche Stärke des Teams ist jedoch die wirklich individuelle und kompetente Beratung, gute Erreichbarkeit und prompte Rückmeldung. Viel Erfolg in der Zukunft! 6 von 5 Sternen"
    Haju Bav vor 7 Jahren
  • „Große Auswahl an Touren von versch. Anbietern. Es lässt sich einfach nach dem gewünschten Zeitraum oder dem Ziel suchen. Anfrage/Buchung unkompliziert und schnell. Bei Rückfragen oder Umbuchungen ist Johanna die gute Seele am Telefon. Sehr zu empfehlen!"
    Ralf Feldmeyer vor 4 Jahren
  • „Ich hatte verschiedene Anbieter von geführten Motorradtouren in den USA kontaktiert aber erst Johanna von Motourismo konnte mir helfen, meinen Sonderwunsch zu realisieren. Schnell, kompetent und super freundlich. Deshalb besten Dank an Johanna und Motourismo 👍💪😊, Michael"
    Michael Ziegler vor 4 Jahren
  • „Bin letztlich sehr zufrieden mit dem Service. Zunächst hatte ich kurzfristig eine Reise über dieses Portal gebucht, die dann allerdings nicht bestätigt werden konnte. Eine Auswahl von Ersatzangeboten führte dann zu einer prima Motorradtour, auf die ich ohne MOTOURISMO wohl nicht gestoßen wäre. Danke an Daria für die Freundlichkeit und ihre Mühe im Hintergrund, und für den Black Friday Gutschein!"
    Dr. Andreas Lischke vor 5 Jahren
  • „Ich kann die überwiegend positiven Bewertungen dieses Unternehmens in keinster Weise bestätigen. In aller Kürze: Am 25.05. stellte ich eine Buchungsanfrage zu einer Motorradreise und verschickte noch am gleichen Tag, zur Komplettierung der Unterlagen, Kopien meines Passes sowie des Führerscheins.Wer jetzt eine Feedback-Mail, Eingangsbestätigung etc erwarten würde - in meinen Fall passierte konkret NICHTS. Am 29.05. verschickte ich eine Erinnerungs-Mail mit der Bitte, mir über den Eingang der Unterlagen eine Rückinfo zu geben. Es passierte erneut NICHTS. Sowohl am 30.05 und am 31.05. versuchte ich mehrfach das Unternehmen telefonisch zu erreichen. Mein einziger Kontakt bestand permanent in einer Bandansage des AB - alle Mitarbeiter im Gespräch :-))- . Selbstverständlich habe ich auf dem AB meine Rufnummer mit Bitte um Rückruf hinterlassen. Es passierte, mittlerweile in gewohnter Weise, NICHTS! Fazit: Dem Unternehmen, welches mE den Anspruch hat, im Dienstleistungssektor tätig sein zu wollen, fehlen hierfür elementare Kompetenzen wie Kommunikations- und Diemstleistungsbereitschaft! Ich würde meine Erfahrungen auch als komplettes Organisationsversagen der Firma bewerten. Wer sich also im Vorfeld der Planung der schönsten Tages des Jahres nicht unnötig ärgern will, dem seien dringend andere Alternativen, die man im Netz findet, angeraten! Nachtrag zur Antwort vom Inhaber: Ihr könnt davon ausgehen, das ich die Technik beherrsche und mich vor! negativen Bewertung, die ich ungern schreibe, umfassend vergewissere. Die Antwort vom Inhaber ist daher nicht richtig - ich wurde weder angerufen, noch bekam ich eine E-Mail. Das man vorher seinen Spam-Filter und die Anrufliste checkt, sind Basics, die zumindest mir Niemand erklären muss. Es bleibt dabei- Euer Dienstleistungsverhalten ist grottenschlecht und nicht zu toppen. Daran ändern auch Eure lauwarmen Beschwichtigungen hier nichts."

Booking

Questions about booking

Six to nine months is realistic for the sought-after departures: groups are small and popular dates fill early. Short notice often still works – we check availability directly with the operator and tell you in the enquiry what is still bookable.

The cheapest bookable trip in Europe starts at 620 €. Above that, duration, region and inclusions decide – a one-week standard tour sits well below a multi-week trip on a rental machine. The price and what it covers is on every tour page before you book.

Usually accommodation, guide, support vehicle and the inclusions the operator lists. Travel to Europe is normally not part of it on long-haul trips, and neither is fuel, the rental machine or insurance unless explicitly named. The full list is on every tour.

You pick your departure on the tour page and send the booking; we pass it to the operator, who confirms it – only then does the travel contract come into being. Deposit and balance follow the operator's terms and go directly to them, not to Motourismo.

Within Europe often yes; for long-haul destinations a rental machine on site is usually cheaper and far simpler. If you still want to ride your own machine in Europe, we arrange the transport. Every tour description states whether own bike, rental or both is intended.

If a guided trip does not reach its minimum group size by the stated deadline, the operator can cancel. You get payments back or move to another departure – deadlines and the cancellation scale are in the pre-contractual information before you book.
