Find Your Tour
Whether it's your first tour or your fiftieth, whether you're riding solo, as a couple, or just wondering if this is for you — it is. Here's everything you need to know.
New to Touring
Everyone was a first-timer once. The biggest barrier is usually in your head, not your skill level. Guided tours are specifically designed to support newer riders — you'll have experienced guides, like-minded riders, and a route that builds confidence every single day.
- →Guided tours include experienced support from day one
- →Routes are chosen for quality roads, not extreme challenge
- →Group tours mean you're never riding alone if you don't want to
- →Hire bikes are available — no need to transport your own
- →Most operators welcome riders at any level — just be honest
Solo Riders
Solo touring is one of motorcycling's great pleasures — go where you want, stop when you like, take that detour because you felt like it. Self-guided tours give you all the tools to tour solo without sacrificing safety or route quality.
- →Self-guided tours provide GPS routes, hotel bookings, and daily notes
- →You ride alone but have operator support available throughout
- →Guided tours welcome solo bookings — you'll meet others on the road
- →Single supplement options available on most guided tours
- →Tell the operator you're solo — experienced ones cater brilliantly
Touring as a Couple
Motorcycle touring as a couple is one of the most connecting experiences you can share. Whether you're both riders or one of you is a pillion, the road is best shared. A few things make the difference between a great couples tour and a testing one.
- →Discuss pace honestly before you go — mismatched expectations are the main problem
- →Build in rest days and off-bike activities, not just riding days
- →Self-guided tours offer the flexibility couples often need
- →Pillion passengers are welcome on all guided tours
- →Room sharing on guided tours is standard — check for twin availability if needed
Female Riders
The number of women riding and touring has grown dramatically in recent years — and the best operators have adapted brilliantly. Every tour on this site welcomes female riders. Some specifically cater to mixed groups and have female guides. You'll never be the only woman on the road.
- →All tours on this site are fully mixed and welcoming
- →Several operators have female guides and tour leaders
- →Bike options include lighter adventure bikes on many tours
- →The community aspect of guided tours means you'll find your people fast
- →Solo female travel is increasingly common — operators are experienced with it
