Many of the hotels we use have comprehensive leisure facilities and all selected hotels have been carefully vetted to ensure they serve a good range of food to suit different palates because we usually book for dinner, bed and breakfast.

You can resat assured that we also ensure there is suitable parking for your bike.

Carefully Selected Routes

We guide you along carefully researched, well-planned and well-designed routes to ensure you have a safe and fun ride. We offer a broad range of tours, some visiting different hotels each night and covering large geographical areas while others operate from a fixed base.

Fixed base options prove especially popular for those with non-biking partners because daily journeys explore an area in greater detail and return to the same hotel each night enabling your partner to enjoy the hotels leisure facilities and local sights while you are riding and of course there is no baggage to haul as we return to the same base each night.

Flexible and Bespoke Offers

Touring Europe by motorcycle can be flexible and bespoke. Our day trips are also popular as gifts for birthdays etc., and with cruise ship passengers who have limited time to explore ashore. Most riders come for our set tours lasting 4-16 nights and spend most of those days riding.

We have organised many bespoke packages including one that that lasted 5 weeks and visited 10 countries. Our 9 day, 8 night touring holiday with 7 day riding is the most popular. We have several different options available to you and can also customise the trip according to your requirements.

At our base in Scotland we own a fleet of motorbikes used exclusively on our Scottish tours, elsewhere we rent late model well-maintained motorcycles from select business partners, so, if you are planning touring Scotland, other parts of the UK of further afield though Europe by bike through McTours you don’t have to bring your own or try to find a rental agent in your destination country or region.

Some of these tours focus on parts of the nation’s history, one concentrating on locations in Scotland used in the filming of the Outlander TV series, and all traversing great twisty roads. During recent years two in particular have been the most requested.

Ardelve looking east towards Loch Duich - Scottish motorbike tour
The first of these tours begins in the Clyde estuary and makes its way to the west coast via the Isle of Bute and later Mull before turning north to the Isle of Skye and the highlands. You will be guided along narrow single track roads as we cross the Scottish west coast, visiting some islands and venturing into the Highlands. Learn more about the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

Motorcycle Tours Italy

In September 2025 we return to Tuscany. We first added Italy to our itinerary in 2011 and have toured there every year since. Many of our past clients have favoured the north of the country around the Italian Lakes and Alps, Dolomites and Tyrol regions together with Tuscany though we have also toured the south, Sicily and Sardinia.

The Cinque Terra viewed from the sea

This motorcycle tour through Tuscany begins in Florence, with further stays at Lucca and Portovenere from where we shall explore the region visiting Pisa, Florence, Siena, Cinque Terre, Chianti country and more. Each day we ride some of the most technically challenging twisty roads in Tuscany and surrounding regions of Italy.

Motorcycle Tours Spain

We return to Northern Spain and Portugal in May 2025. Spain was added in 2015 and Portugal he following year. Both were after taking a few years researching to verify the regions and areas we wanted to offer. We quickly discovered how great the Spanish roads are focusing on Andalucia, the Pyrenees and the Spanish Portuguese border region.

Visiting many national parks including Picos de Europa, Redes, Las Ubiñas-La Mesa, Somiedo and passing through Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia, Castilla and Leon in Northwestern Spain and onwards into Northern Portugal, riders will find the roads twisty and at times quite technical but always scenic.

Motorcycle Tours England

Northumberland, Yorkshire and the Lake District have always been popular areas for us because these offer a change from Glasgow and are easily reached. With a growing number of our UK based clients looking for a staycation we added The Cotswolds, Devon and Cornwall and have updated two of our former tours that embrace our favoured routes in the North of England.

Bamburgh Castle Northumberland England - motorcbike tour Northumberland and Scottish Borders
Starting near Edinburgh the route heads south to Northumberland where we spend three days touring before returning to Edinburgh to end the tour. On this tour you will visit Castles, a Heritage Village and ride some great backroads around Northumberland, Cumbria and the Scottish Borders.

Northumberland Motorcycle Tour

Limestone cottages with red pan tile roof along the side of a Brookside at Hovingham - motorcbike tour Yorkshire and Lake District
The second is a two centre 8 day, 7 night tour with 6 days riding that begins in the Yorkshire Moors and Dales then visits the Lake District and uses some of the best roads in the areas as we twist our way around the area, so much so, that the likes of Bing and Google maps simply cannot compute all the waypoints!.

There is quite a contrast in houses as we move from east to west coast. In Yorkshire limestone prevails giving the traditional houses a yellowish hue complimented by red pantiles roofs whilst over in Cumbria Slate is the favoured building material which give blue, grey and greenish colours to the traditional properties. The landscape of both also differs greatly as those who join this tour will soon appreciate.
