Seven of us explore Europe

Seven of us recently went on a self-guided tour organised by Global Motorcycle tours, this included France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands - A number of passes and totalled something around 2500miles of some of the best roads in Europe, the distances were as expected and achievable - the hotels were well organised, and with the exception of one hotel all were friendly, especially the Italian and Austrian hotels where service was impeccable and they were so nice, helpful and friendly. Just not having any concerns at all about Tom's excellent choices of either roads or anything come to that, it was a wise choice to invest our holiday in Global and although we had an excellent team leader and tail end Charlie that made life even easier for us the choice will never be more convenient to let Tom organise your biking trip.

Hello Chris
Thank you for your review of your recent tour. It was quite a big tour with lots of different riding experiences and of course hotels. We work very hard to make sure all our hotels give the very best service but you only need one bad receptionist to bring the whole thing down. I do know that the hotel in question is in France and actually feel that most of the French service industry would benefit from a few lessons in basic manners.

After saying that I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the rest of the tour and look forward to hearing from you again in the future.
All the best. Tom & Susan

Motorcycle Tours that deliver

Tom and Sue have great experience and knowledge of their Tours as they have completed them theirselves. They combine magical biking routes with fantastic Hotels at great prices. Couldn't believe the standard of the Hotels, one we stayed at had its own gym, in the room, including a spa bath.
Already booked for another tour in 2023.

Hello Ian
Thank you for the review. We do try and find the best hotels we can but I don't think I have ever had a gym all to myself. All the best and hope you enjoy the tour in 2023.

Northern Spain and Portugal

This year was another trip with Tom and Susan from Globalmotorcycle tours. Because of the trepidation with covid and all the necessary paperwork which was needed, they made it so easy with all the help we had.
The trip to Northern Spain and Portugal I have done a number of times with them and self guided. This was the best I can remember,The fantastic stopovers,really good riders, but most of all, a great eclectic mix of people, this will be a trip I will remember for a long time.
You could not be in better hands if you want a trip abroad, give global a ring, you won’t regret it. Hope to see you soon Tom and Susan, all the best.

Hello Eddie
Thanks for the review. I have to say it was great getting back on tour again and with such a great group of people. It was so good to see everyone again and to be enjoying the Spanish roads with an excellent group of riders. All the best and let's hope we can do it all again as soon as possible. Tom & Susan

Great tours to challenge and have fun.

We have been on several tours with Tom and Susan and have always had a great time. Our favourite was the Northern Spain and Portugal which we have done twice. Always spot on with great hotels and any problems, they deal with them efficiently. Can't wait for next year when we hope we can join them again for another adventure.

We have been with Global a few times…

We have been with Global a few times now - having been with other companies in the past so are able to compare their tours and prices objectively. Their MO suits us down to the ground - they provide sufficient information for you to be independent if you wish to be but you are also very welcome to ride with the rest of the group - no pressure either way. The hotels are always to a great standard - as is the food on "eat together" nights. There is a good balance between such nights and eating out in locations where this is possible - as we do like to breakaway from time to time. The price of the tours is very competitive and Tom always finds good routes to follow. Another good thing is that he is not always racing to get to the next hotel as quickly as possible- as have experienced with others. It is a motorbike holiday afterall! A great tour company and hopefully we can continue to go with them for several years yet. Steve and Sandra

Hello Steve & Sandra and thank you very much for the excellent review. You mention getting the balance right. This is very important for all aspects of the tour and something we work extremely hard to achieve on the tours. Hotels, routes, coffee stops, overall speed, meals etc are all part of the 'daily balance' so it very nice to hear you mention this in such a positive way. We are both look forward to seeing you on tour again very soon.
All the best. Tom & Susan

Amazing self-guided tour of Central Spain and Portugal

Just enjoyed an amazing self-guided tour of Central Spain & Portugal. All the instructions, gps co-ordinates, hard copies of the routes, ride-out suggestions for free days, hotels, etc provided and booked were excellent. The hotel rooms were excellent and the staff at the hotels extremely helpful and friendly. The routes were spectacular and we would never have found them if we had arranged this ourselves. We couldn't have had better weather or better biking roads which were mostly traffic free.
Our thanks go to Tom and Sue for all their hard work in organising this tour for us, nothing was too much trouble and being newbies to satnavs there were a number of questions which Tom easily sorted for us, all we had to do was pack our passports and go.
After many years of holidaying in Gites this was our first touring holiday as such and we were a little bit anxious at first having someone else arrange everything for us but we can honestly say there was absolutely nothing to worry about and we would not hesitate to book one again and would definitely use the services of Global Motorcycle Tour. Excellent service and highly recommended.

Hello Janet
Thank you very much for your review. After many years of hard work building up our network of hotels and routes receiving reviews like this make it all worth while. Spain and Portugal are wonderful places to ride your bike and it sounds like you also had the weather to fully appreciate it. We are glad to hear how much you enjoyed the tour and that we will hear from you again in the future.
All the best.

Slovenia, Northern Croatia and Italian Dolomites Self Guided Tour

I am writing this on my wife's Trustpilot account!

With 5 friends I have just completed a very enjoyable 17 day self guided tour to Slovenia, Northern Croatia and the Italian Dolomites.

The hotels were all of a high/very high standard with friendly staff in excellent locations. Due to Tom and Susan's vast knowledge of the areas they tour, suggested routes given in GPS and hard copy format included many amazing roads that would have probably have been missed if we had planned the trip ourselves.

All at a very competitive price

I have used Global Motorcycles on many occasions since I 'discovered' them in 2014 for both escorted and self guided tours and have never been disappointed.

Morocco Tour

Recently back from a guided tour of Morocco and as with all the other tours, guided and self guided, I have been on with Global, the level of customer service can only be described as excellent, the tour guides are just superb in their approach and for me they give a very personal service with traditional values. The quality of the hotels are just stunning ranging from a minimum of three star ratings but in the main, four and five star, proof that just because you ride a motorcycle you are not compromised on accommodation.
After many tours with them I can honestly say that I have no wish to make any change from the way I look and book tours and that I see both Tom & Susan as genuine friends and already looking forward to our next adventure together.
