Grand Balkan Tour (Montenegro + Albania + Bosnia & Hercegovina + Croatia)

The Grand Balkan Tour is a 14-day journey with 10 full riding days, designed to explore the very best of Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia & Hercegovina, and Croatia. Starting and finishing in Tivat, the route connects coastal highways, high-mountain passes, UNESCO-listed towns, and lesser-known Balkan regions beyond the usual tourist routes.

The tour is intentionally limited to an ultra-compact group of 4–5 riders, allowing for a shared pace, real interaction, and a high level of personal attention throughout the journey. This format creates a more natural rhythm on the road and the flexibility to adapt each day without compromise.

Riding the latest Yamaha Tracer motorcycles and staying in hand-selected boutique hotels, this is our signature long-distance experience — created for riders seeking a deeper, more complete way to experience the Balkans, from Adriatic blue to alpine peaks.
