You tell us Where.
You tell us When.
We will tell you How.
We are a small family run motorcycle tour business, we arrange tailored trips for motorcyclists who want to travel at a sensible pace (at or near the speed limit, if it is safe to do so.)
If you are looking for a thrash across Europe please look elsewhere.
“Why should I travel with ECM tours when I have access to the internet and I have a Sat Nav?”
A good question, and yes you could organise it yourself, but by booking through us you are getting the support of seasoned European travellers with many thousands on kilometres under our belts. We have been to our chosen destinations many times and have explored the area extensively. You will be travelling as part of a group and so will share the camaraderie of like-minded people who are there for the same reason you are… to enjoy the freedom and exhilaration that only a motorcycle can give.
You won’t have to worry about booking your channel crossing or your hotels, you just need to turn up at the agreed time and place, meet up with us and your fellow travellers and ride !!!!!
We will supply Sat Nav co-ordinates for all the hotels and .gpx route files if required. Your tour leader is also an emergency services trained First Aider, so if the unthinkable happens, there will be someone on hand to administer immediate emergency care until the cavalry arrive.
Also, he is a trained motorcycle mechanic with over 40 year of experience so minor ussues can be sorted before they become major ones.
BUT WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE IN THE MOTORCYCLE TOURS BUSINESS?
Have you and your friends sat around and talked about ‘The Trip’? That European journey that you all want to do, but just haven’t got round to it or feel it would be too tricky or complicated to arrange. Then let us do the hard work for you, we will arrange your channel crossing, hotels and any excursions that you may want to include; a visit to a race circuit, football stadium, whatever takes your fancy. It can be a long weekend or a two-week grand tour.
Or maybe you want to try one of the regular trips first before ‘The Big One’

You are required to take out your own European motorcycle recovery policy.
ECM Tours accept no responsibility for transporting you, your bike or your pillion to any alternative destination in case of breakdown or accident. Furthermore, in case of your motorcycle breaking down, the cost of any repair or service will be solely the responsibility of the rider.
