Long Way Home is a 2025 10-episode Apple Original series documenting the 63-day journey from the United Kingdom across Scandinavia and Eastern and Central Europe made by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman on refurbished vintage motorcycles. The series aired on Fridays on Apple TV+ beginning 09 May 2025. This is the fourth journey the two have made for television, beginning with Long Way Round (2004) which was followed by Long Way Down (2007) and Long Way Up (2020).
The riders started at Ewan McGregor's home in Perthshire, Scotland and returned to Charley Boorman's home in Suffolk, England. From the United Kingdom, they rode across Europe for a cumulative distance of about 10,000 miles (16,100 km). The trip included about 17 countries.
Their route included a trip across the English Channel to Denmark and then across the North Sea to Scandinavia.
Apple describes their motorcycles as "cranky old bikes." McGregor rode a 1974 Moto Guzzi Eldorado 850 police bike; Boorman rode a BMW R75/5 with a kickstarter. As with the Long Way Up, the support team drove all-electric Rivians.

The Guardian gave the series three out of five stars, calling the series a bit slow and with too many episodes, but that it was ultimately entrancing watching the co-stars, calling it perfectly pleasant. The series was also noted for the leads' easygoing charm and personal rapport. Pop culture website Decider also recommended the programme, noting the scenic shots and relationship between the two leads. Benji Wilson for The Daily Telegraph gave the programme two out of five stars, writing that âÂÂEwan and CharleyâÂÂs boysâ tour is certainly fun; mostly makes you want to get off your sofa and get out there, which is probably not what the programme makers wanted. But thereâÂÂs always a slight sense that weâÂÂre the ones being taken for a ride.â The programme was also nominated in 2025 as one of the best travel/adventure shows in the 7th Critics Choice Association Real TV category, losing to eventual winner Conan O'Brien Must Go.
