''... We have been extremely fortunate to hit the jack-pot, as far as motor-bike tours go.''
 ... we had completed our magical mystery tour safely, made new friends along the way, and had an absolute blast! We cannot sing the praises of Clutch Moto Tours, and especially Rozle Verhovc highly enough.''

where we are

Our base for exploring South Eastern Europe is Split, a beautiful ancient city on the Croatian Coast.             

Considering the fantastic geographical location, mild Mediterranean climate and the natural beauty around the Split, it is not surprising fact that the first inhabitant of Split was the Roman emperor Diocletian. In the year 293 he built, in this famous oasis, his palace for retirement, which is today under the protection of UNESCO. Turbulent century after Diocletian’s empire, established the city around the imperial palace, leaving many traces in everyday life of this city that grew and accrued into the largest regional center of today.

Split is set in the middle of the region where we run most of our tours, giving us easy options for tours on the mainland, the islands or a combination of both. The first and the last day, our customers have the option to enjoy in sightseeing of this beautiful city or to rest in the hotel by the beach with the breath taking sea view. We believe that perfect place to start and finish your riding vacations is hotel located by the sea with private beach and splendid views around the neighbor islands.
