Sipping Champagne - Epernay

There is a saying on the 3 most famous French wines: Bourgogne makes you think of silly things, Bordeaux makes you talk about them, and Champagne makes you do them. So we had to come and explore the Champagne area in a Quazy Rides tour! We're exploring the Parc naturel régional de la Montagne de Reims, the Marne valley, the vineyards and champagne villages in the so called Golden Triangle of Champagne during the day and getting to know everything about the "devine nectar" after 2 beautiful rides at night. Including some tasting of course!

Battle of the Bulge - La Roche en Ardenne

Right in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes ánd the exact area where the Bulge of the Battle of the Bulge was situated we have 2 amazing rides. The Belgian Ardennes are a very nice area to enjoy riding your bike. And that all in combination with interesting sites where, if you want, you can get to know everything on the Battle of the Bulge, take impressive pictures with one of the many WWII memorials that you will come across but also nice stops for drinks and food! And with the lovely city of La Roche-en-Ardenne in typical and beautiful Ardennes landscape we are sure you will have a great time here during your own motorcycle roadtrip.

Medieval Morvan - Avallon

Medieval Morvan - Avallon

WOW WOW WOW! Wow is actually the only word we can think of when we think of the 3 rides that we have in the Morvan It really felt like we found a hidden gem! The Morvan, also called the green lungs of the Bourgogne, is a natural park with mountains, hills, forests, lakes and rivers.......and a lot of very nice twisting roads to discover it all with a beautiful motorcycle tour. And with good stops for drinks, food and a bit of sigthseeing if you want in very enjoyable medieval towns - one even more pretty than the other - we had an AMAZING time with our Medieval Morvan tour. And pssssst. let me tell you a little secret. Ride 3 was our absolute favourite!

Chocolate & Beer - Bruges

Chocolate & Beer - Bruges

The Flanders area of Belgium is mainly flat, but that doesn’t mean you can not do a nice motorcycle tour in this area. We ourselves were pleasantly surprised by the nice riding we have done with this rides. And this being the Chocolate and Beer tour we have added some stops “in theme”. We are sure you are going to love Bruges and its surroundings!

Market Garden - Eindhoven

Market Garden - Eindhoven

With this Market Garden tour you will be exploring the area where operation Market Garden was conceived and launched. The rides of the Market Garden tour are filled with interesting memorials and museums, but of course, also nice riding through the “Kempen” and "Peel en Maas” areas. And in Eindhoven or its surrounding villages you will definitely experience the “Southern Dutch” hospitality, making this a motorcycle roadtrip to remember.

Dutch Mountains - Valkenburg

Dutch Mountains - Valkenburg

Officially the province of Limburg of the Netherlands does not have any mountains, but it sure has hills. Therefor it is called Het Heuvelland: the hilly country! So a good area for some nice motorcycle riding on plenty of winding roads. Valkenburg is a very popular destination for tourists and therefor has all the facilities you would want to make this a perfect place to stay during the Dutch Mountains tour.

Monet's Trail - Rouen

Monet's Trail - Rouen

When we think of Normandy, we immediately think of the D-Day landing beaches and the Operation Overlord that took place there. But Normandy has WAY MORE to offer than just WWII memorials. In this tour we are exploring the more inland part of beautiful Normandy and we have taken the French impressionist painter Claude Monet as our inspiration.
