“A big thumbs up to Chris and his team at GMT. We have done many tours in the past with others company's and have to say that this is Motorcycle touring at it’s best! Great Routes, superb hotels and scenery to die for. Couple that with a great group of guys, we laughed from day one to the end! Hopefully this was the first of many, Cheers Chris” “Very satisfied with the tour even better than to be expected the experience of riding these roads with a professional tour guide made me very at ease and made the trip so much better congratulations Chris For putting such a good tour together I thoroughly recommend guided motorbike tours to anyone would definitely be doing another one next year and will be bringing a couple other mates to join. If you have never done one of these tours before you haven’t lived book one up I promise you. you will not be disappointed.” “This was our first tour with Guided Motorbike Tours and I’m sure not the last. We met a fantastic group of people, we were all like minded and had many evenings sharing our past biking experiences over good food and beer. Everyone was considerate and helpful, we made some good friends. As for Chris our tour leader, what a brilliant host! Friendly, helpful and resolved any issues always in a very professional manner. Chris did a great job in taking care of the group in all aspects of the trip, from the accommodation and daily routes to the evening meals and drinks. The hotels were of a good standard, always 3-4 star and in excellent locations. With the additional support from Pippa back at GMT HQ we were all in safe hands. Chris had great knowledge of where we were heading each day, and ensured we had just the right amount of riding time and regular coffee breaks. The Romanian landscape was beautiful and we rode some amazing roads including a number of mountain passes. The pace was suitable for all levels of rider. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in a biking adventure. Excellent value to boot! So to conclude: the roads, the scenery, the hotels, and all the people we met were fantastic and we will defiantly be re-booking with Chris again for 2017. Thank you Chris and Pippa, see you in Italy.” Mark and Nicky, Isle of Wight.

UK TOURS
The UK is a great place isn’t it. We have some of the finest roads and landscapes for such a small area and riding our beloved machines doesn’t get much better than being a short ride away from a few days of fun and thrills WALES We have Wales, despite the weather issues everyone harps on about (don’t forget the sheep, the kamikaze sheep!) the area is full of fantastic roads, ideal to blow away the stresses and strains of work and modern day living. Wales has a bit of everything, sweeping, winding roads amidst a backdrop of beautiful hillsides. Let’s not forget that Wales is also an adventure playground for those who prefer to get pasted in mud riding their bike through the undergrowth. It’s a wonderful place and always seems to have a strange and overpowering desire to keep returning, despite the weather… and the sheep!
CUMBRIA & THE LAKE DISTRICT Cumbria and the Lake District is all too often overlooked by many riders, despite its natural beauty and gorgeous roads, combined with great riding temperatures during mid to low season and the fact it isn’t too far away, being centrally located, it is a great playground for us bikers looking to get a fix. With many passes and lakes, it is pleasing on the eye and indeed on the wrist!
SCOTLAND & THE HIGHLANDS Scotland, arhhh, Scotland, one of the most amazing locations in the British Isles. What isn’t there to like (Ok, the weather isn’t always great) but the fun you can have in Scottish Highlands on two wheels with a motor strapped to it and a flammable container between your legs is brilliant. Wonderful roads, scenery is incredible and they all seem rather chirpy and friendly up that neck of the woods!

VIETNAM Motorcycle Tours An incredible experience DESCRIPTION Vietnam has to be one of our best tours. We have been very fortunate to team up with our business partners in Hanoi to present two amazing tours (North and South). Having been back several times, this is probably our favourite tour! The tours include a fair bit of off tarmac routes, some can be challenging for the less experienced rider but are incredibly fun. The culture of this wonderful place is captivating to say the least. The locals are friendly, always smiling and happy to speak to you. The food is delicious and despite rumours there is nothing on the menu that is too dissimilar to our local Chinese take away. A bike will be provided as part of the cost (Honda XR150) and is more than capable of tackling the terrain and traffic of Vietnam as they tend to take things at a slower pace than us! You will see magnificent sights on this tour and be captivated by the amazing culture here. We run two tours, one is in the North West Mountains, the other is the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Both are absolutely breath taking and chosing between each one is a tough challenge for anyone!
