All-Inclusive Motorbike Tours from €900 — What’s Actually Included in a Bansko Enduro Week
"All-inclusive" is one of the most abused phrases in adventure tourism. Some operators mean it literally; most mean some-of-it-inclusive and you’ll find out about the extras at the airport. This is a line-by-line account of what our €900–€1,800 package prices actually buy, written so there are no surprises.
Spoiler: the only thing we don’t include is your flight and your drinks bill. Everything else is in.
What €900 actually buys — the included list
Starting price on the Weekend Wheels Adventure is €900 per person. That figure includes, in full, no extras:
The bike, fuel, and consumables. 2026 GASGAS EC or Husqvarna TE in 250 or 300, matched to your weight and experience. Petrol for the riding days. Oil top-ups, chain lube, tyre swaps if conditions warrant. Bashplates, hand-guards, sealed batteries — you don’t see any of those line items because they’re assumed.
Full riding kit. Helmet, goggles, jacket, gloves, knee braces, boots. All sized and fitted on arrival. See the packing guide for what you don’t need to bring.
The hotel. 4-star Bansko hotel with SPA, pool, sauna, and a proper restaurant. Single or twin-share rooms depending on what you book. WiFi included (and actually fast). See the accommodation page for the detail.
All meals. Breakfast at the hotel every morning. Lunch at a local mountain restaurant on every riding day. Dinner back at the hotel restaurant every evening. The meal plan is based on actual hungry-enduro-rider portion sizes, not airline-food portions.
Return airport transfers. From Sofia or Plovdiv airports. No shared shuttle, no surprise fees, no “the driver only does daytime arrivals.” We pick you up when your flight lands and drop you back in time for your departure. See the flights guide for routing.
Expert local guides. Two guides on any tour with a 3+ rider skill gap so beginners aren’t held back and stronger riders aren’t under-served. Guides carry tools, recovery gear, first-aid, and the local knowledge that doesn’t appear in any guidebook.
Trail access fees and permits. Where required, included. You don’t pay land-use fees at the trailhead.
What “all-inclusive” should mean (and often doesn’t elsewhere)
A common pattern with cheaper-on-paper enduro holidays is that the headline price is the bike, hotel, and three meals — then everything else comes at point-of-sale. Common hidden extras you’ll see at other operators:
- Airport transfers (€80–€150 each way).
- Trail access permits (variable).
- Petrol surcharges on longer days.
None of those exist on our tours. The bike you get on day one is the newest in the fleet — there’s no "premium bike" upcharge.
What’s genuinely NOT included
Three things, and we’re explicit about each:
- Flights. You book your own. We can advise on routing — Sofia has direct service from most major European hubs. UK riders, see the London-Sofia flights guide. Realistic cost from most European hubs: €100–€200 return on Wizz Air or Ryanair.
- Drinks at the hotel. At the hotel, drinks are the only thing you pay for — everything else (room, SPA, breakfast, dinner) is included. Soft drinks, beer and wine are charged at hotel-bar rates; the wine list is fair for the region.
- Travel insurance. Your responsibility, must include off-road motorcycle activity. Most standard European travel policies exclude this and offer a bolt-on for a small premium.
That’s the full not-included list. There isn’t a hidden fourth item.
The hotel — what 5-star means in Bansko
The property we use is a genuine 5-star Bansko hotel — proper SPA with pool, sauna and steam room, full restaurant, daily housekeeping, 24-hour reception, fast WiFi. Bansko’s top hotels are competitively priced against equivalent properties in Western Europe, and this one sits at the top of the local market.
Most importantly: the SPA matters after a riding day. After 6 hours of standing on the pegs and one or two enthusiastic drops, the sauna and the pool turn into the most valuable part of the package.
The food — Bulgarian mountain cuisine context
Breakfast is buffet-style at the hotel — cooked dishes, fresh fruit, pastries, the works. Lunches on riding days are at local mountain restaurants — hearty plates of grilled meat, traditional Bulgarian salads (shopska is the national one), bread fresh from the kitchen. Portion sizes are calibrated for the post-riding appetite, which is to say generous.
Dinner is served at the hotel restaurant every evening — a proper sit-down dinner with regional wines available, calibrated for the post-riding appetite.
Dietary requirements — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free — are handled. Tell us at booking and the kitchen will accommodate. No drama.
Optional add-ons
Outside the standard package, a few extras are available on request and quoted separately:
- Shooting range afternoon — included on the Weeklong Retreat as the rest-day activity; available as an add-on otherwise.
- Go-karting session — same model.
- Private guide — 1:1 guiding for the full week, for guests who want a faster pace or specific skills work.
- Photography package — dedicated photographer on a riding day, edited gallery delivered the following week.
None of these are upsold at the venue. If you want them, ask before you arrive and they get arranged.
Why we price this way
The honest reason: we got tired of the surprise-fee pattern. Most of our repeat business comes from riders who’ve been on a holiday where the headline price didn’t match the airport-departure cost, and didn’t enjoy the experience.
The €900 starting price is set so that what you pay before you fly is what the holiday actually costs. The only variables left in your control are your flight, your drinks, and whether you grab a few extras like the photography package. Everything else is locked.
