Overview
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
Riding regions do not follow borders. These are what decides how a trip feels – and which month it makes sense in.
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.
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.
Country pages
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.
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.
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.
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.
Country by country
One trip worth starting with from each of the busiest countries in Europe. Everything else is on the country page itself.

Timing
The season decides the route, not the other way round. Rough orientation for the continent – the exact windows are stated on each country and each tour.
Best season May–September
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.

Travel experiences
Real voices from travellers who have been on the road with us.
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.
