Harley-Davidson Launches Global Authorized Tours

Harley-Davidson has announced the launch of an all-new global Harley-Davidson Authorized Tours program that will offer riders an opportunity to experience riding adventures worldwide.

In partnership with 11 independent, multi-national tour operators, the Harley-Davidson Authorized Tours program will encompass more than 150 distinct tour experiences conducted across the world in 10 languages, with destinations in North America, Europe, Africa and Australia.

Participants can book tours as an individual or as a group, and can select from five different types of tours, including guided, semi-guided, and self-guided tours, with riding itineraries aimed at beginners or experienced riders. No matter what type of experience is chosen, lodging 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; lodging accommodation; and transfers to and from the airport, hotel and rental station.

“When you book a tour through the Harley-Davidson Authorized Tours program, you can trust it has been planned by the best in the business,” said Nigel Villiers, director of international customer experience, Harley-Davidson. “Harley-Davidson has taken great care in selecting only the highest-quality, most-experienced tour companies – with the very best reputations for excellence – to provide a truly genuine Harley-Davidson experience.”

The launch of Harley-Davidson Authorized Tours is supported by a new fully interactive website. 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.
