About Us
Welcome to RideWithUs Motorcycle Tours. The company was formed by Petar and Slavica and has been in business for seven years. Our objective is set to run high quality organised motorcycle holidays around Western and Eastern Europe. With our Eastern European backgrounds and extensive knowledge of Western Europe, especially the Alpine regions, we are able to organise a wide range of bike tours that offer something for everyone regardless of their touring experience.
Meet your guides
Petar’s professional background in Sports Science and Slavica’s in Accounting has helped them to transfer their skills in organising and management into a successful business. Having travelled extensively they use their experience to organise the tours for their clients as they would have it organised for themselves. Their ability to speak several eastern European languages and in-depth knowledge of local customs and culture gives an extra reassurance for those who choose to tour Eastern Europe. For them motorcycling is not just about riding, it is also about meeting people, creating friendships, enjoying a sense of discovery and adventure, and above all it is a Lifestyle. In Petar’s and Slavica’s experience it is the people that make each tour special.
Accomodation
On RideWithUs tours we only use three and four star accommodation that include all breakfasts and most evening meals. All hotels have secure bike parking and most of them are fitted with basic bike repair and drying facilities. Most hotels also include a swimming pool, spa, wellness and relaxation areas that are always pleasant to have on hand after a long ride.
Channel Crossing
RideWithUs predominantly uses the Channel Tunnel to cross the Channel. This eliminates any potential complaints of sea sickness, makes boarding and disembarkation much quicker and the crossing is not affected by adverse weather conditions. Another important factor is that, on the return leg of our tours, if we arrive back to the check in area at Calais before our scheduled departure time, there is always a realistic possibility of boarding the first available train. With it's own motorway junction (11a M20), access to the Passenger Terminal couldn't be simpler. Prior to boarding the shuttles, you will pass through both UK and French frontier controls which means on arrival in France, you simply drive off the shuttle onto the European motorway network.
Group Sizes & Guiding
In order to provide better quality tours we limit the number of bikes to twelve per guide. This allows us to guide each tour day-by-day, turn-by-turn and in the evenings provides us a with much more relaxing and enjoyable social atmosphere. Guiding is optional and those who prefer it can make their own way to the destinations.
The Fun Stuff
Although, we are in the motorcycle touring business, our holidays are not only focused on riding. We use our bikes as a mode of transportation, but once we arrive at our destination, depending on what might be available in the area, we try to arrange various different activities. These may include visits to local tourist attractions such as champagne houses, castles, caves, historic places and monuments, national parks, or we might even go fishing, mountain biking, walking or join a boat trip.
