CFMOTO 800 MT-X

This was my first tour with Overlanders, and it exceeded all expectations. From dropping off the bike in Wexford to collecting it again at the end of the trip, everything was organised seamlessly. The daily riding was exceptional, with incredible roads and breathtaking scenery from start to finish. The accommodation and dining throughout the tour were of a consistently high standard, adding to the overall experience. Ciaran was a fantastic guide—professional, accommodating, safety-conscious, and great company throughout the trip. His local knowledge and attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Overlanders tours and would highly recommend the Grand Alps tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable motorcycling adventure.

This is an amazing service. Fly to popular destinations across Europe and beyond and collect your bike on arrival which has been transported by truck and will be collected and brought home when your trip is over. Saves a huge amount of time and money compared with doing the initial part of the journey yourself. Plus you arrive at the starting point of your holiday fresh as a daisy and ready for road. Genius idea and the folks at Overlanders couldn't be nicer. They're all enthusiastic and helpful and they know their customers. Pick up locations are very close to the airports, often within walking distance. Destinations are on the website and popular ones fill up quickly. We did drop off Bilbao and pick up Malaga earlier this month and there was a waiting list for slots on our departure date.

For years I have wanted to go away on a motorbike tour and see a different country on 2 wheels, but I have also thought of a million reasons why not to. I would think I am not an experienced enough rider and will make a show of myself, I dont know any of the routes, I wont know anyone going etc. But 2 weeks ago I went to Wales with Overlanders to do to the BMW Off Road Skills (ORS) course and it was one of the best weekends I have ever had. The tour was organised to perfection. I didnt have to think about any aspect of it apart from how I was going to get to the Ferry, where I would then just follow the lead of David and the other riders. Speaking of the Ferry, with less than 18 hours notice the Ferry was cancelled but the Overlanders team pulled it out of the bag to get everyone booked onto a different Ferry and keep the show on the road. David kept eveyone up to speed with the situation and the communication was top class. Within minutes of arriving in Wales I was also put at ease when David gave the safety briefing and discussed the plan to get to our accomodation. There were different route options based on peoples preferences. In the different routes there was an option to try the big route but then cut accross early if anyone felt uncomfortable - thankfully I didnt at all. Dinner was pre-planned each evening and transport was organised to get to and from the restaraunts that were outside of town. Again I just had to show up. And finally, the group of lads that went on the trip are what really made it. Such a nice frendly group and a huge mix of experience on a motorbike. Now I know what to expect, I cant wait for the next trip.
