Want to explore England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland? We’ve got you covered. Heading across the channel? Well as well as Western European destinations we also run self guided trips down through Morocco to the Sahara Desert, as far East as Romania and as far North as the Arctic Circle in Norway. Fancy something on the other side of the Atlantic? How about a roadtrip in the USA, an adventure in Alaska or riding all the way across Canada?

Our Self Guided trips follow the same proven routes and stay in the same hotels as our Guided tours, you receive a highly detailed tour pack with all the pre tour preparation and advice you could wish for and GPS routes with daily stops for coffee and lunch as well as sightseeing options pre programmed in. We book your hotels, arrange crossings, motorcycle rental if needed and much more so you can just relax and ride.
