An expert Royal Enfield mechanic and an English-speaking tour leader will accompany you on your motorcycle tour in Europe. As well as ensuring your safety, they will be on hand to give you tips and their unique view on the destinations. You can therefore relish in a classic riding experience on a neo-retro motorcycle with complete peace of mind. Our team of passionate bikers has chosen the best routes for you to explore Europe from another perspective. You’ll visit places where no one else goes and enjoy truly unforgettable experiences.

Royal Enfield is very much part of Vintage Rides’s DNA. It was a Royal Enfield Bullet 500 that carried our founder, Alexandre Zurcher, on his first crossing of India. After completing this astounding mechanical feat and personal quest, he decided to share his ambitions with other passionate bikers. Royal Enfields aren’t just super cool, they’re also perfect for a motorcycle tour. Thanks to their size, they are fun to ride and can reach the most remote of places. With the power to turn heads, the Royal Enfield is an icebreaker, making it easier to spark up conversation with locals. We really didn’t have to think twice about choosing our favourite bikes for our guided motorcycle tours in Europe. These classic motorcycles have already accompanied thousands of riders on their travels across the world, so now it’s time for us to get them out on European soil.

 

Turkey. Two guided tours: Anatolian Treasures (7 days, 930 km) through the Taurus Mountains and along the Aegean coast, and Cappadocia: Journey through Earth and Sky (9 days), among rock formations, cave villages and rock-hewn monasteries.

Greece. The Road of the Gods (7 days, 634 miles) crosses the Peloponnese, from ancient archaeological sites to coastal villages.

Albania. The Secret Roads of a Different Europe (7 days, 652 miles) starts in Thessaloniki and rides through northern Greece and Albania: mountain passes, green valleys and lakes, far from mass tourism.

Sardinia. Adventure between Sea & Mountains (7 days, 466 miles) mixes winding mountain roads, off-road tracks and coastal panoramas.

France and Wales. Off-road training courses on a Royal Enfield Himalayan, with instructors: three days in France or in Wales, ideal before a first adventure tour.

The European continent is lucky to have a mild climate with four well-defined seasons. To make the most of pleasant temperatures, we recommend organizing your motorcycle tour in Europe between May and September. However, expect cooler temperatures the further north you head. Summer is therefore the best season to visit many European countries without it being too cold. In addition to its varied landscapes, the Old Continent gives you the chance to experience different types of climate too. In fact, you can enjoy an oceanic climate along the western coasts, a continental climate inland, a mild Mediterranean climate in the south, and even an Arctic climate in the far north. The numerous mountain chains, such as the Alps or the Ural mountains, offer an alpine climate, which is cooler than on the coast in the summer.

Given its history and location, Europe is the cradle of several cultures. In fact, there’s a stark contrast between landscapes but also between locals in the north, south, east and west. This diversity will make your motorbike trip in Europe unique and you’re bound to find joy in the heart of one of the many countries on this continent. The mountainous areas in this part of the world are thrilling for seasoned bikers on the quest for adventure and adrenaline or those who enjoy a leisurely ride. With the Mediterranean made up of the Italian and Balkan peninsulas, Eastern European countries, including Bulgaria and Hungary or even Scandinavia with Norway and Finland, there’s something for every biker.
