About This Tour
The Great Balkan Odyssey is a full-scale, bucket-list motorcycle adventure covering 3,500 miles across 10 countries. You'll ride from Folkestone through the Ardennes, Black Forest and Dolomites before diving into the heart of the Balkans — including Bosnia's waterfalls, Mostar, the Bay of Kotor, the wild Theth Valley, Lake Ohrid, and Albania's UNESCO city of Berat. From there, you ferry back into Italy and stitch together a second chapter through the Abruzzo mountains, Tuscany, Lucca, and the high Alps of Courmayeur beneath Mont Blanc, finishing through Dijon and Reims before returning to the UK. This is the ultimate European overland motorcycle tour — huge scenery, huge variety, and a route you'll remember forever.

Flexibility is Part of the Adventure!
At Wild Road Motorcycle Tours, we're all about keeping things fresh, fun, and unforgettable. That's why we occasionally tweak our stops and ride days—not just for seasonal ferry schedules, but because we're always on the hunt for awesome local activities, hidden gems, or even festivals to make your tour truly unique.
We'll lock in and confirm the final itinerary a few months before your tour, giving you plenty of time to plan and get stoked. Every change we make is designed to keep our tours as exciting and one-of-a-kind as the riders who join us!
