IOM TT Review

We had a fantastic experience with Helen and Ian at the Isle of Man TT. We got to do a full lap of the circuit and Ian got us to some spots most can't! Would do it again. I would also recommend renting for a full day. It allowed us time to get to several spots on the curcuit.

This was icing on the cake to our trip…

This was icing on the cake to our trip to Isle of Man. Due to the rain we only were able watch two days of racing but the Motorcycle tour made up for it. Our guide was first class and took us around the island on the course and then to some back roads to watch the race. Highly recommend, we will do this again!

Perfect way to round out my trip

Helen and Ian are great. I found myself on the Isle of Man with no gear and no bike during TT week, and it was a breeze getting everything rented. We rode the course at a fun pace and even stopped half way for a Sunday roast. The whole group was friendly and the experience was amazing. perfect way to round out my trip. Totally recommend.

Check it off your bucket list

Toddy and team are the best. We booked a last minute tour of the TT track the night prior. It worked out so well that we were able ride the track right before it closed for the race. If possible, I'd highly recommend going on the tour bus that is guided by a current TT rider as the breaking points, bumps in the road and all the small things the riders have to pay attention to really hits home later on when you're on a bike at the same spots. Toddy took us to Hillberry corner to watch the race. He knew exactly where to park and where the best spots are to watch the race. Without their knowledge and experience, we would have never been able to watch the race at Hillberry. If you're into motorcycles, there is nothing better on the island for the price. I'd highly recommend you check Toddy and team at Lake District Motorcycle Tours!

Thank you for the fantastic review Michael!

We’re delighted you enjoyed the TT Lap Tour and that the bikes, equipment and organisation all lived up to expectations. The Mountain Road is always a highlight, especially when conditions allow you to experience those famous unrestricted sections for yourself.

It was a pleasure having you ride with us, and we’re thrilled to hear you’re already looking at joining us for a Lake District tour too. We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure soon!

Did the IOM TT experience

Did the IOM TT experience. Lovely people running the tour. Had my 18yr old son as pillion and enjoyed the TT course at our pace. Stopped at Ballaugh Bridge and Creg-Ny-Baa for a brew. Mountain was covered in mist at the time but the rest of the route was clear.

Thank you for the great review Jonathon.

So happy you and your son enjoyed experiencing the TT Course together. Riding the course at your own pace, taking in the scenery and stopping at iconic locations like Ballaugh Bridge and Creg-Ny-Baa is what it’s all about 🇮🇲

The mountain certainly likes to keep us guessing with the weather.. but just an excuse to come again!

Great Isle of man TT Lap Tour

I am incredibly impressed with this tour! We traveled all the way from Thailand, Ian and Helen and their team took such amazing care of us. Safety was their top priority, with dedicated marshals leading the pack and sweeping the rear the entire time. Ian also shared so many fascinating insights with us; from the deep history of the TT races to what it’s actually like to live on the island, he taught us so many things we never knew before.

It was a bit of a shame that the roads on the mountain section were closed during the second half of the lap due to the upcoming qualifying sessions. However, it wasn't an issue at all. The team quickly adapted, guided us through an alternative route to get back down safely, and even took us to a fantastic, hidden viewing spot to watch the bikes fly by. If we had come on our own, there's no way we could have found that amazing spot!

Thank you so much, Ian Helen and the team. We will definitely be back to ride with you again!

Isle of Man TT motorcycle tour

This was an Isle of Man tour during the TT race week. This entire team (family and their friends) was amazing. I had an unexpected delay in travel, and they stayed very late in the evening to get me registered for the next day. They had really nice motorcycles, late model bikes in great condition. My tour included the entire TT race course following the tour guide, and a couple of their family members. Absolutely amazing, and well worth the cost. Really one of the best parts of my trip to the TT. I will be back next year !! God bless , and wishing continued success.

See the full TT Course from a riders perspective

This was a very well run tour. I visited from San Diego, U.S. and was expecting colder weather and possible rain showers. What I got was Souther California weather 28 degrees C (82F) and I'm not complaining. I usually do not ride in full leathers as my home weather does not make it necessary but I had requested a full kit to make it comfortable in incliment weather, I was poached but felt safer for having worn them. The guides were knowledgeable and patient. Everyone was very helpful and the ride went on without a hitch. Helen and her team were great. Seeing the race course from a rider's perspective was a wonderful experience and gave me greater understanding of what these racers are going through. I had a new perspective for watching the races. This is a must do if you travel without your own bike. Thank You, Bill Ziegler

Thank you so much for the incredible review Bill!

We’re so happy you enjoyed your visit all the way from San Diego and that the Isle of Man decided to put on some California-style weather for you 😎

It’s fantastic to hear that the tour gave you a whole new perspective on the TT course and what the riders experience. That’s something many guests tell us afterwards, and we’re so pleased we could be part of that experience for you.

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words onto Helen and the rest of the team. They work hard to make sure every guest feels welcome, safe and looked after from start to finish.

Thank you for choosing to ride with us and for trusting us with your TT experience. We hope to see you again!
