Tour Overview
The Balkan region is a hidden treasure for travellers looking for a quintessential East European experience. A moderate Mediterranean climate, a long coastline and mountain ranges give it the best of everything: postcard cities with medieval charm, beaches with turquoise waters, natural wonders and thrilling roads in the mountains and along the Dalmatian Coast.
This 10-day round trip from Split covers three countries, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro, all once part of Yugoslavia. Ride to Plitvice Lakes and over the Velebit mountains to Zadar, take the ferry to Hvar island, follow the Makarska Riviera to Dubrovnik for a rest day, then cross into Montenegro for Kotor and Durmitor National Park before Mostar and the ride back to Split. That is 1,580 km over 7 riding days on 100% paved roads, on your choice of high-end touring motorcycles, with breakfasts and dinners included.

Rider Testimonials
Real, verified Google reviews from riders who have toured with MotoRover.
Just completed an unforgettable motorcycle tour through the Balkans with MotoRover — and it was fantastic! Everything was perfectly organized: great bikes, a well-planned route, stunning landscapes, and a super supportive team. Their passion and professionalism really stood out. Highly recommend MotoRover for anyone looking for a top-tier riding adventure!
Had an excellent bike ride through 3 Balkan countries with MotoRover and team during end April 2025. Loved the section of the route, the courtesies and flexibility extended by their team along with attention to details. This was my second bike trip with them and hope to have many more — I wholeheartedly recommend them to bike riders and nature enthusiasts. Good luck for many more.
Our group of MWDM riders from Mumbai enrolled for the Morocco tour designed by MotoRover. We asked them to make some minor changes to suit the riders and they happily complied. The complete riding experience was amazing, from the pickup at Casablanca to drop off back at Casablanca airport. The bikes were in the best condition along with support vehicle and staff, and the hotel arrangements were all 5* accommodation with great food. Overall my group and I were thoroughly satisfied with MotoRover. Big thanks to Mr. Kabir and Mr. Marc (along with Mr. Assaddin)!
I recently had the privilege of embarking on an epic motorcycle tour in Kyrgyzstan, expertly arranged by MotoRover. The trip was an adventure of a lifetime. The team's expertise and knowledge of the region made all the difference, allowing us to focus on what mattered most — the thrill of the ride and soaking in the breathtaking scenery. Kudos to Mr. Piyush, Mr. Kabir and the entire MotoRover team for crafting an unforgettable journey. I wholeheartedly recommend MotoRover for your next adventure!
The Scotland Motorcycle Tour was simply a dream. The entire tour was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The route selection was scenic and the places of stay were unique in terms of location and heritage value. Scotland has some of the most amazing vistas to offer, and there is no better way to soak it all up than on a motorcycle — a mix of rainy days, misty roads and bright sunshine. Overall, a brilliant job done by Piyush and his team. Looking forward to more such rides. Two thumbs up!
