Motorcycle Travel Worldwide – Motorcycle Tours & Vacation

VERY SIMPLE! We work with a parameter that clearly shows you what riding skills you should possess for the respective tour. Each tour has a scale of 1 to 3 'Chilies'. If you are unsure, you can contact us anytime. We are happy to help!

This varies depending on the destination and conditions. In general, many tour guides calculate about 250 kilometers per day. This prevents fatigue and disorientation while riding. The logistics regarding hotels, campsites, and group size are also taken into account.

We recommend tours in Europe that last between a week and 15 days. These tours are ideal because you can find out how long you can really last on the motorcycle – while benefiting from the European roads. Tours in the Western Alps, on Sardinia or Lanzarote are ideal for beginners as they perfectly combine vacation and riding adventure.

OVERCROSS provides you with a packing list and a tour folder. Typically, you receive all the necessary documents via email, and all other documents required for the tour will be requested directly by us after booking. Book your motorcycle holiday now with OVERCROSS travel operator from Germany.

Every tour is different – but regardless of the location, OVERCROSS always seeks the best we can acquire. And YES, we know the hotels and have often been there ourselves!

Many customers believe we only offer hardcore motorcycle tours. That couldn't be further from the truth! At OVERCROSS, we know that many riders are looking for a variety of travel options. We have plenty of classic motorcycle trips on offer that perfectly match your needs, especially if you are concerned that your riding skills may not be sufficient yet.

Before you plan a motorcycle trip, you should consider what suits you. Your skills as a rider, the type of motorcycle you have, and your desired destination are crucial. Consider whether you prefer a road tour, going off-road, or combining both. The duration of your trip and your choice of accommodation, whether a hotel or a tent, also play an important role. Additionally, consider your preferred riding style, the daily stages, and how you will get to the starting point.

You typically need a valid motorcycle license; in Germany, this means at least Class A2. For motorcycle trips outside of Europe, you should also get an international driving permit, as it is often required or recommended.

Rental prices typically include third-party liability insurance. If you want comprehensive or extended coverage, you should carefully check the terms and conditions or take out an additional policy.

YES, you should bring your own helmet, motorcycle jacket, gloves, boots, and protectors.

On guided tours, you usually have a support vehicle or a local partner who can assist you with technical issues. In the event of an accident, your first priority is to ensure the safety of everyone involved. After that, you should immediately inform your insurance company and the tour operator to clarify the next steps. Your guide can also be helpful.

Each region has its own unique appeal, from the Andean passes in South America to the desert tracks in Morocco. Some of the most popular destinations for motorcycle tours also include Southeast Asia, South Africa, and of course, Europe.

Not necessarily. For many tours, you can ride your own motorcycle. For other tours, there's an option to rent a bike. Overcross offers a fleet of motorcycles for rent, and if this is an option, it will be indicated on the specific tour page.

When planning a motorcycle tour, you can either rely on the expertise of a tour operator or use a good app. For tours in challenging countries, it's best to trust someone with a lot of experience. For shorter, less demanding routes, you can use the app of your choice to plan. When planning, you should consider the desired type of route (winding, rural), the total duration, and the number of stops. When in doubt, it's best to turn to an experienced tour guide for help.

On our motorcycle tours, meals are organized flexibly. Depending on the route, we either buy fresh products together at local markets and cook on the go, or we eat at typical local restaurants. On motorcycle expeditions in Africa or South America, we also ensure there are enough supplies so that provisions are always available.

Fuel stops are scheduled into the routes. In Europe, there is a dense network of gas stations. On long off-road stages, for example, in the Sahara, we recommend a full tank and an extra 20L canister, but we always carry extra fuel in reserve canisters so that no one gets stranded.

Overnight accommodations vary depending on the tour and can include hotels, lodges, guesthouses, or camps. On adventurous expeditions, we also sleep in tents, always in safe and vetted locations. Just pay attention to the tour description, there we make it clear which kind of accommodation you will get.

Yes, upon request, we provide the complete route as a GPX file for motorcycle tours. This allows you to follow your motorcycle trip on your navigation device or in your preferred app. For our most demanding expeditions we use Garmin InReach as well as a SAR Plan for extraordinary evacuation and rescue.

We offer both classic on-road motorcycle tours in Europe and adventurous off-road expeditions through the Sahara or the Andes. Each motorcycle trip is described with its difficulty level and route profile so that you can find the right tour for your riding level.

Luggage storage is clearly arranged for each tour. Your personal luggage will be transported in the support vehicle or support truck, while you ride with a lighter bike. For day trips, you'll have side cases or luggage rolls on your motorcycle. This keeps your travel luggage safely stowed, allowing you to focus completely on riding and the expedition.
