BMW The Ultimate Riding Machine

BMW Tours

Since our first tour back in 1998, World of BMW has established an enviable re­putation for delivering premium bike tours to destinations all over the world. These range from short, 'Easy Riding' trips around Europe, to more exotic 'Adventures' in far flung locations, presenting you with a two-wheeled trip of a lifetime.

Our Tours are carefully crafted to suit riders of all abilities. Varying in duration, mileage and interests the 2010 programme will appeal to a wide range of participants. As in previous years, we have tailored, tweaked and improved our selection of Tours. As always, we endeavour to provide you with a memorable touring experience - whether discovering South Africa, Morocco, Central Europe or Scandinavia.

BMW Tour Director Richard Harvey has developed an extensive selection of motorcycle trips for 2010. For example, those seeking adventure may be interested in our September Tour of Eastern Europe, exploring the depths Montenegro and Bosnia. However, if you have a penchant for the finer things in life, our luxurious trip to Northern France, staying in some of the grandest 17th century chateaux in the region, while enjoying gourmet cuisine, might be the trip for you!

For 2010 we have grouped each of our tours in categories: Easy Riding, Luxury, Mountains and Lakes, Long Distance, Historical Interest and Adventure. Simple icons next to the title of every tour provides you with a clear indication of the areas of interest covered on each tour.

Why book with BMW tours?

All arrangements are taken care of, leaving you to enjoy the open roads and stunning scenery
• While we take care of organising the essential elements of the tour, including ferries, hotels and routes (providing GPS co-ordinates), there is plenty of freedom to go 'off piste', take different routes, and choose from a selection of dining options on many of the nights
• Over the course of 12 years we have refined our tours, venues, hotel choices, route options and destinations to ensure we offer the very best available
• We ensure there is mixture of tours that will appeal to all tastes – from the more lavish, to those on a budget; from those with adventurous aspirations, to those who prefer a more laid back approach
• All of our tours are accompanied by an experienced, helpful and friendly Tour Leader
