Harley-Davidson Authorized Tours
Harley-Davidson Press Release - Dec 8, 2011

Iconic routes include gliding through the Mohave Desert at breaking dawn, avoiding the heat of the sun, ending the day riding the Rim of the World. Whether riders want to take in the awe-inspiring views of New Zealand’s islands or the stunning scenery of South Africa’s Table Mountain there is something for everyone. If you appreciate the finer things in life and want to experience grand hotels and exceptional food then the tours delving through the breathtaking highland backdrops of Scotland and the picturesque Douro Valley in Portugal are made for you.

Planned by bikers, for bikers, Harley-Davidson Authorized Tours seek out scenic routes and the kind of traffic-free roads, interesting twisties and thundering straights that we know you’ll enjoy. And every night you’ll end up at the kind of accommodation you deserve after a day on the road, with good food and a comfortable bed.

In partnership with 11 independent, multi-national Tour Operators, the Harley-Davidson Authorized Tours program encompasses 157 distinct tour experiences conducted across the world in 10 languages.

Participants can book tours as an individual or as a group, and can select from five different types, available on every continent except Antarctica. Guided, semi-guided, and self-guided tours are available; with riding itineraries aimed at beginners or experienced riders. No matter what type of experience you choose, your hotel stays and a rental motorcycle (where applicable) are included. Self-guided tours include maps, accommodation and a detailed itinerary. Guided and semi-guided tours include a tour guide; a support vehicle to carry your belongings; accommodation; and transfers to and from the airport, hotel, and rental station. 

Experience the adventure of the open road in capable hands. Run by highly qualified and highly experienced specialist tour operators the Harley-Davidson Authorized Tours Program focuses on a set of minimum requirements. This gives you peace of mind knowing that all tours have to meet an extensive list of requirements including all routes ridden and hotels checked ahead of each tour; no hidden costs to the customer; emergency plans in place to cater for incidents and extreme bad weather conditions.

The launch of Harley-Davidson® Authorized Tours is supported by a new fully interactive website that makes it easy to select the date, language, format, region and tour type as well as book or reserve a place on a tour from the comfort of your own home. The website provides detailed maps of each route as well as a full daily itinerary to bring the experiences to life for anyone looking for inspiration.
