Testimonial
It was a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ ride, with fabulous scenery, mountains and sea, twisties and sweepers; a meticulously researched and tightly choreographed journey through the back roads and byways of the Balkans. Alan T., USA
We just wanted to thank you for the fantastic motorcycle holiday we recently completed with you on the Eastern European Tour. Words really can’t describe what an experience that was, from the fantastic riding, spectacular scenery and food, to the great company you offered the both of us. Thank you so much for a truly memorable holiday. Jill and Rog, Australia
