After landing in Budapest, the capitol city of Hungary, transfer to the hotel. Depends on your arrival and time available, you can discover this beautiful city. We recommend you that if possible arrive a few days prior to the trip, we can offer you programs. In the evening, when all the group members arrived, we all gather for an excellent dinner to get to know each other and the tour guide gives a short briefing about the tour.
After a nice breakfast in the hotel, we mount our motorbikes and start the tour. First day we have quite a long road to get into the Balkans as fast as possible. That is why we ride on highway in the morning, but after the lunch in a real roadside Balkan-charm restaurant, we deep into the beautiful countryside deeper and deeper. By the evening we arrive to Sarajevo, the capitol city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the east meets west. We have our dinner in the enthralling old town, in a real local cuisine.
