Tours with a difference!

Our Story

At OC&RR Motorcycle Tours, we started our business with a passion for exploring new places and sharing those experiences with others. We believe that touring is not just about seeing new sights and roads, but about creating lasting memories. With over three decades of expertise in organising guided tours, our USP (unique selling point) is ensuring that every excursion is more memorable than the last. We meticulously plan the routes, secure accommodations, and personally lead each ride, allowing you to simply enjoy.

Our tours cover a diverse range of breathtaking landscapes, from the winding mountainous roads of the Alps to the serene coastal highways of Monaco. In Europe, we have ridden all the roads favoured by motorcyclists, from the Alps’ exhilarating curves to the picturesque routes of the Amalfi Coast. Each route is chosen to offer the perfect mix of challenging rides and stunning scenery. One of our most memorable experiences was riding through the Grimsel Pass in Switzerland, where the breathtaking alpine views and thrilling switchbacks left an indelible mark on our riders.

Our accommodations are handpicked for their comfort and character, often reflecting the local charm and hospitality. Safety is our top priority; we have equipped ourselves with the necessary gear and first aid kits and conduct thorough briefings before each tour. Every trip is conducted as safely as possible, taking no unnecessary risks.

Handling different skill levels among riders is part of our expertise we believe! We have a wide range of skills between us and have ridden with friends and colleagues of various abilities. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced rider, we ensure you feel comfortable and engaged. We’ve had laughs along the way, even in the face of disaster—like the time we had a fork seal failure, a story that’s now part of our tour tales.

We can offer special packages, including weekend getaways and custom tours tailored to your preferences, ensuring every rider feels part of the adventure.

At OC&RR Motorcycle Tours, we don’t just lead rides; we create stories, foster friendships, and build a community of passionate riders who love to explore and experience the world from the seat of a motorcycle. Join us on our next adventure and discover why our tours are more than just a ride—they are a journey of a lifetime.
