It has, without doubt, been an incredibly challenging, immensely stressful, and difficult period for all of us. Many countries are still implementing costly and complicated entry or exit procedures and potentially harsh inconveniences, made worse for group travellers. With these measures still in place, the added cost and inconvenience to travel abroad for our customers as a group has become unreasonable and unaffordable for most. In some cases, the additional costs could reach as much as 200% more than the cost of a holiday as a group tour. Guided Motorbike Tours have followed the guidelines ..read more

I hope you are all as well as can be, it’s been an arduous year to say the least for us all and I am sure many of you are keen to get on your bikes and begin exploring once again.  We want to take this opportunity to provide some form of update on future tours with GMT but first of all can we once again say a huge thank you to all those who have been immensely supportive and understanding of this situation, which, has been completely taken out of our control. With the exception of one or two, all our customers have been so understanding and cooperative. It has been a very humbling to expe ..read more

What an incredible year it has been for all of us but one thing is certain, we are desperate to get out and explore on our motorcycles! It has been an incredibly difficult year for many, there’s no doubt about it. However, there may be some hope on the horizon of travelling and exploring and once again getting out on our machines, I am sure you will agree, it will be a momentous moment. Reading between the lines, it would indicate that the lockdown restrictions will begin to be lifted sooner rather than later. obviously certain measures need to be put in place to safeguard everyone before we f ..read more

During the lockdown I entertained myself by writing a book about my travels to Tunisia in Africa, it gave me an opportunity to break away from the propaganda and all the gloom that was going on, I am still writing it and hope to have it finished by the end of this year The book includes the mention of a good friend of mine who was one of my first customers on the European camping tour we ran back in 2015. Tom (pictured above looking somewhat nervous because the police and army turned up) is an energetic rider, like me, and spends most of his spring or autumn riding around deserts on KTM’s. We ..read more

Great Britain is often underrated as a place to go exploring. many of us dismiss the opportunity to explore our homeland in favour of heading off to far away lands that promise snow peak mountains and fancy food, but there’s so much more to Great Britain than some may realise Admittedly, we’d all like to be whizzing around the Alps, or across the Sahara Desert right now in search of adventure but due to government measures in place, that’s a little difficult at the moment, unless of course you have plenty of spare holiday, or enjoy a retired lifestyle and can quarantine for two weeks on your r ..read more

Hello fellow riding companions   It’s been an odd year so far I think we can all agree. With travel arrangements being disrupted it has caused an inconvenience for many wanting to get away from it all. However, despite the challenges we’ve faced, the future looks bright for 2021 Motorcycle Tours.   We have been taking plenty of bookings for 2021 motorcycle tours, so much so that we are introducing new dates in the coming months for tours in 2021 to cope with the demand. Here at GMT HQ we have been working on new exciting routes as well as improving the existing ones our customers lov ..read more

Hello everyone! What an interesting few months we’ve had, I hope you’re all OK and coping with the changes. There’s been some “interesting” things going on, quite frankly, it seems the world and society as we know it, is changing and we will no doubt all have to adapt in some way. Guided Motorbike Tours Ltd is still very much wriggling and kicking and ready to run tours, despite the situation that has affected so many. Our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected by this terrible situation. Having been monitoring the FCO website, we have learnt just now that France have announced that t ..read more

France did it and now Germany are doing it. Take note that Germany have now joined France in making it illegal to use the speed camera function on your devices. This includes smart phones/tablets, GPS devices, speed camera detectors and of course sat navs. The new measures now make it an offence to use devices that detect speed cameras and you could see yourself facing a huge fine or serious punishment. The simplest solution would be to turn this function off on your sat nav or phone when entering Germany and reactivate it once you’ve left. Unless of course you’re heading into France in which ..read more

As you will have heard by now, Boris Johnson announced on Sunday that as of Wednesday, new measures have been put in place to ease the lockdown restrictions. One bit of good news that followed this, was confirmation from the MCN that bikers can once again ride for pleasure, on condition riders maintain the rules in relation to social distancing, don’t ride in groups and avoid tourist hot spots. For many of us this is a huge and welcomed relief to say the least, as I am sure we all need to blast away the cobwebs after many weeks of cleaning our bikes! We do advise you check with your local auth ..read more
