Worldwide Motorcycle Expeditions & Tours
Your Adventure Our Expertise
Hello It’s been over 20 years since our first motorcycle trip to South America, which ignited the passion for travel and biking adventure! And it’s been 15 years since our Guinness World Record for the Fastest Circumnavigation of the World by Motorcycle. Since then we have spent the years creating a global programme of amazing tours and expeditions around the world and personally riding hundreds of thousands of miles across all continents. Very few can match our experience and expertise in organising and delivering your trip of a life time. We live it, breathe it – it’s in our DNA! This is what we do and we are (probably!) the best.
If you want a two week tour in Morocco, we can do that. Five months along the Pan American Highway, you need to look no further - we’ve done it 8 times. Ride out of the Ace Café and head east for 4 months to Tokyo, it’s here and we are the only worldwide company to offer it. So, when you want to do your dream ride, why leave it to chance? You need to be with a team that has a proven track record. One with direct, on the ground expertise, year in and year out, and an extensive global network to back it up. A team headed up by people who are hands-on, passionate about each destination and involved in each and every ride. GlobeBusters is that team! We strive to deliver the best experience of any tour and will leave you wanting more. Just remember: IT’S NOT A HOLIDAY, IT’S AN ADVENTURE…

ADVENTURE TOURS Our Adventure Tours bring you some of the best roads from our major Expeditions in manageable itineraries of 12 – 18 days. So if you cannot be away for months at a time, or just want a taste of adventure travel, these are the perfect solution to bring you an unbeatable GlobeBusters experience.
How does it work? • As most of our adventure tours are outside of Europe, it’s often not possible to use your own bike and so we organise motorcycle rental with our Approved Travel Partner (if you need it). • A GlobeBusters Tour Leader accompanies each Tour, with a local Support Vehicle and Driver that will carry luggage and act as sweeper vehicle. • Our average group size is 12 riders – great for camaraderie, but you’re not lost in a crowd.
30
• We use majority 4* hotels or good quality 3* character / family hotels, or if not available, the best in the area and we also have inclusive sightseeing or activities. • We give you the freedom to ride your own ride by providing GPS mapping, GPS routes and co-ordinates, and highlighted hard copy maps to self-navigate. Alternatively, you can decide to follow our Tour Leader.
