The trainers and the support team were very professional and I was amazed that they really thought of everything when they organised this trip. They were also really friendly and enthusiastic about their home country, which added a lot to the whole experience. Algarve is a beautiful region with lots of sceneric gravel roads and amazing food! We had the opportunity to enjoy the local food to the fullest (literally ;-), because we went to different typical restaurants two times a day and always had a yummy feast. We had a nice group and a great time - let it be in the coffee breaks, at mealtimes or while having our "boot beer" on the terrace in the sunset still wearing our riding gear.
I was the only woman of the group and far the youngest, without having much enduro experience. Thanks to the training in the enduro park on the first day and the instructions of the trainers, I could keep the pace of the group on the actual tours on the other days. This was the best holiday of my live and it was definitely worth the price. I want to do it again. :-)

Dear Lilla,
Thank you so much for dedicating some time to share your experience at the last Enduro Camp in Algarve. Your words are really rewarding to us and are especially important through this challenging times we're all livin'. Hope we can all meet back there, "safe and sound", very soon. As hosting and riding is what we love, and do best.
It was a pleasure to have you taking part in our last Enduro Camp, thank you for joining in! If you have the chance, you should join one of the Douro editions... Bet you'd love it there too. Many thanks. Kindest Regards, The MXP Team.

We were recently lucky enough to join MotoXplorers for their Ring Road Tour of Iceland. This was our second Motorcycle tour with MotoXplorers having joined their tour of Morocco in 2018, and were delighted to learn that 2 other couples from the Morocco trip were also participating in this tour. We have also hired a motorcycle from them for independent touring of Portugal and what a classy outfit they are. The motorcycles are all recent models and in tip top condition.
Their organisation and communication prior to the tour kept participants well informed with comprehensive emails, checklists and a tour App detailing day by day where we would be riding, what we would be seeing, likely weather conditions or hazards that may be encountered and details of our nightly accommodation. This was also followed up each morning by our wonderful tour guide Ricardo Azevedo with an overview of the day ahead. Our tour logistics manager, Corine Simão was always happy and responsive to answer any queries and helped to organise extra hotel accommodation for nights prior and post the tour. We were delighted when she joined Ricardo as our support driver and ‘troubleshooter’ if ever the need arose. Two more friendly and qualified guides would be hard to find.
Iceland, the land shaped by fire and ice is a truly incredible country, the extraordinary landscapes that we rode through will not be forgotten in a hurry. The tour offered us the experience of enjoying the geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon, which was a wonderful way to kick off the tour. We were also given options to join a boat tour on the Jokulsarlon Lagoon, floating among icebergs, Whale watching on an antique boat in Husavik and a trip to the Langjokull Glacier and tour inside the ice tunnel. We were very glad to have participated in all of these opportunities.
Each day saw us treated to delicious gourmet meals and unique accommodations throughout our trip. The team at MotoXplorers has put a lot of effort into finding comfortable lodgings and beautiful places to eat to meet participants expectations and exceeding them.
We would just like to thank Ricardo and Corine for making this such a memorable trip. They both went the extra mile to ensure that everyone on the tour felt included and looked after. The organisation both before and during the tour were faultless, always thinking ahead to make sure we all ended up together safely at the end of each day.
We would like to wish the MotoXplorers team all the very best with continued success. You guys are great at what you do and we would recommend you unconditionally to anyone wanting to join a tour or hire a bike from you, hopefully it will be us again in the future. We very much look forward to crossing paths with you again.
With our fondest best wishes

What a wonderful experience to ride through the beautiful country of Portugal with the superlative guidance of Carlos and Ricardo! We have been on motorcycle tours before with other companies but never had the 5 star treatment like this! From the prompt and helpful communications prior to arrival, and the professional leadership throughout the tour, their attention to detail and needs of the group is unsurpassed. The bikes were new and clearly well cared for. Our hotels were all 4 and 5 star unique accommodations. The food was amazing local fare and truly representative of that of Portugal. Our guides planned the must see stops at every destination city. It was a perfect combination of riding and seeing the sights. There were 8 bikes, 4 couples, 3 singles and our guide, Carlos. Just the right amount to keep track of. Everyone was of similar riding capabilities with similar interests of viewing the sights. I would call this the luxury tour for people to love to explore on a motorcycle! I would recommend MotoXplorers for your next bike tour…or your first bike tour! Fantastic experience and we will certainly book again with them.

From our pre-tour communications through to the welcome we received on our return from the tour, our MotoXplorers experience was a complete joy. The early communication flowing from Carlos & Rita, both professional & prompt, provided us with the detail and confidence to book our tour and we’re glad we did. The early availability of Corine’s trip plan app and its comprehensive content provided us with the opportunity to prepare for the tour and ask questions prior to arrival, which always received timely responses. When we collected the motorbike Carlos gave a briefing, which was very informative and to the point and then Ricardo, a bundle of energy, sent us on our way confident that the tour preparation had been thorough and our backs were covered if issues were to arise. None did. The bike was flawless, the routes varied and enjoyable, the suggested sights numerous and interesting, the special and distinctive accommodations were well located and the breakfasts never left us wanting. We didn’t have to waste energy thinking through the tour we simply enjoyed the ride and the scenery courtesy of MotoXplorer’s wealth of experience. Seamless tours don’t happen by chance, they require thorough planning and organisation and that’s what we experienced as will you when you put your trust in Motoxplorer’s great team.

We came to Lisbon from Berlin by plane and rented from Motoxplorer 14 bikes from the 09-14.03.2023, we had 3 850 Gs and the rest were 1250gs/Adv. we were very impressed by the very good shape the bikes were in.
The team were very flexible and professional. They did not have enough 1250 Gs for our group so some off us became an free upgrade to a 1250 Adv. We had on the first day a small accident with one off the bikes this was dealt with very quickly so that we could keep to our timetable.
We travelled over 1000km without any problems on the bikes.
This is definitely not the last time that we will be renting bikes from Motoxplorer

The most complete motorcycle example experience. Excellent off-road training academy for those having big heavy bikes, like the BMW; after the excellent training, BMW GS became a weightless motorbike. From zero experience to “completely” dominating the GS off-road in less than two days, all thanks to the fantastic instructors.

At the occasion where 4 adult(!) Norwegian men visited Portugal for a short week of cruising the beautiful country, MotoXplorers (MX), Carlos and his team were all very service minded and offered excellent support. From the very start of the communication until our return of the bikes.
We spent 5 days in the saddle, where MX contributed to route options, places to see and not least; some very good road recommendations which clearly was benefitial for our overall experience.
MX offered almost "virgin" bikes to us, all R1200GS and everything went smoothly from check-out to our return. Instructions, guiding and storage of our hard luggage was all well organized and we cannot fully express our satisfaction with the MX Team. Our strongest recommendations are hereby posted!
Thank you!!! We'll be back ;-)

MotoXplorers exceed my expectations in every category! The BMW motorcycle they supplied were low mileage machine that were superbly maintained. Garmin GPS units were supplied with all routes, points of interest and shaping points that guided us from hotel to hotel. Mentioning hotel, our lodging was simply superb. They were all 4- or 5-star hotels that were totally modern and we were all impressed. The routes were easy to follow, and the daily mileages weren't excessive. They provided suggestions for restaurants and, every now and again, would call to make sure everything was going to plan. I cannot think of a thing I would want to change. The staff at MotoXplorers was very efficient, friendly and bent over backwards to ensure our trip would be a memorable one. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

oh man, what a ride...i so enjoyed the Sun Escape Tour Carlos and his Team prepared.
The BMW R1250GS is an awesome bike, even for me - after not having ridden a bike for more than 15 years - just the perfect suite.
Carlos himself is a great host in any situation, be it before, during or after the Tour - could not have been better in any way!
Thx so much guys, that was a fantastic experience!!

Já lhe enviámos resposta por email há 10 dias mas só agora vimos sua pergunta aqui.
Nossas motos podem rodar toda a Europa mas têm de iniciar ou temrinar a locação em Lisboa por questões legais. O transporte de motos na Europa é algo dispendioso e apesar de ser possivel, vai sair muito caro enviar uma moto para Praga. Será bem mais em conta se encontrar uma empress local.
