From Lhasa up to Everest Base Camp at 5300m, with a new adventure motorcycle, five adventurous riders, and a guide. An extraordinary adventure through truly surreal and breathtaking scenery, with thin air. Everything was perfectly organized and went wonderfully; we experienced so much, had a great time, and always ate well and delicious food. There are so many stories to tell, and I wouldn't want to miss this tour for anything... Thank you so much, OVERCROSS, for the excellent organization and support; I'd love to do it again. Best regards, André

I am not an employee of Overcross but I feel like reacting to the recent negative comments regarding some situation in Angola. Knowing both the company and the Portugese mentality I guess what happened was that the Angolans tried to scam the company after the OC vehicle had an emergency. It is highly unlikely OC would not pay for towing or any other service.

The offroad trip to Tunisia was amazing. Wasn’t anything for relaxing, it’s more of an adventure trip of course. I have got some of the best moments and memories of my life, especially thanks to guides Ludwig and Arne. Really thank you guys!

Was für ein tolles Erlebnis. Ich habe zum ersten Mal eine Gruppenreise gebucht über Overcross, und muss sagen ich bin wirklich begeistert. Die Sahara Tour durch Tunesien im April 2024 war eine Traumreise für mich. Die komplette Organisation vom ersten Kontakt, bis zum letzten Bier auf der Fähre bei der Rückreise war 1A. Der äußerst nette und kompetente Guide Christian, hatte eindeutig den größten Teil zum Gelingen der Tour beigetragen. Seine herzliche Art fügte die Gruppe sofort zusammen, und man fühlte sich sehr wohl. Viele schöne Erinnerungen an die Zeit sind geblieben, und gerne werde ich wiederkommen. Danke an das Overcross Team...und Danke Christian...bleib wie du bist...Ronald
