Who We Are

We are a Romanian motorcycle tour operator based just outside Bucharest, and we have been organising guided tours since 2010. Everything we run starts from the same place: we are riders first. The routes on this site are roads we ride ourselves, in our own time, on our own bikes.

That sounds like something every operator says. The difference is measurable – we live here. The Carpathians are a two-hour ride from the office, not a destination we fly into once a season. When we tell you the Transfagarasan is worth waiting until July for, or that a particular pass is better in the afternoon light, that is not research. It is Tuesday.

What we actually do

We provide guided motorcycle tours at international standards, led by BMW Motorrad certified tour guides. Our home ground is Romania and Eastern Europe – Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Albania, Greece and Croatia – and we also run tours further afield, on the African continent in Morocco, South Africa and Namibia, in Western Europe across Spain and Portugal, and in South America in Colombia.

For riders who want to leave the tarmac behind, our off-road tours are led by BMW Motorrad certified off-road instructors. Same standards, harder terrain.

Small groups, on purpose

Every tour we run is capped at eight motorcycles. That number is not arbitrary. Below it, a group stays together through a mountain pass, everyone gets the guide’s attention when they need it, and dinner is one table rather than three. Above it, a tour becomes logistics.

It costs us margin to hold that line. We hold it anyway, because the alternative is a worse trip and we would rather run fewer, better tours than more mediocre ones.

CREDENTIALS, NOT CLAIMS

Certified by BMW Motorrad

Anyone can call themselves a guide. These are the qualifications that sit behind ours.

Certified Tour Guides

Our guides hold BMW Motorrad Certified Tourguide qualifications. That covers group management, route planning, rider safety and on-road decision making – the things that separate a guided tour from a group of people following a GPS.

Certified Off-Road Instructors

Our off-road tours ride with a BMW Motorrad Certified Instructor. On technical terrain that means a line can be demonstrated rather than described, and it means someone with formal training is making the call on what the group rides.

Official BMW Motorrad Partner

We are an official BMW Motorrad partner. Our rental fleet is maintained to BMW Motorrad standards, fully insured, and fitted for touring with side cases and a top case as standard.

How We Run a Tour

The guide rides with you

Not behind you in a car. The guide is on a motorcycle at the front, setting a pace the group is comfortable with and regrouping regularly so nobody is left out there alone.

The van carries the weight

A support van follows every tour with the luggage, the souvenirs and space for a passenger who wants a stage off the bike. You ride light and your bags are in the room before you are.

Something breaks, we fix it

24-hour technical support travels with every tour, across every border. A mechanical problem is an inconvenience for an hour, not the end of your holiday.

Hotels we would stay in

3- and 4-star hotels with secure parking, chosen because we have slept there. Dinners are in local restaurants rather than hotel dining rooms, because that is where the food is.

Borders are our problem

Our multi-country routes cross up to six borders. The bikes are insured for the whole route and the guide handles the crossings, so you spend the week riding rather than organising.

We tell you the truth

If a tour is above your level we say so before you book, not on day three. Nobody enjoys a week on terrain they are not ready for, and we would rather lose the booking than run that trip.

WHERE WE RIDE

Four continents, one standard

Romania and the Carpathians are home. Eastern Europe is our backyard – Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Albania, Greece and Croatia. Beyond that we run tours in Morocco, South Africa and Namibia, across Spain and Portugal, and in Colombia.

Different continents, same way of working: certified guides, small groups, roads chosen by people who ride them.
