Welcome to Touring Ride!

  We booked two tours with Rob & Krister - around the island and the mountains tour. This was definitely the highlight of our holiday. Fantastic scenery, Kris was great company,... read more made very welcome, very relaxed and nothing too much trouble, at the end of the second tour we felt we had made great friends for life. If you visit Gran Canaria - FIND THE TIME TO DO AT LEAST ONE TOUR!!!

  Great roads, bikes, food and company.
Must give 10+ points.
Thank you for the absolutely fantastic day.

  I booked this bike tour thinking that I would be riding in a group, but it turned out to be a private tour to the mountains. Krister was very helpful... read more and gave me advice how to get from Maspalomas to Las Palmas with a right bus. He collected me from the bus station.

The bike was in a perfect condition and clean. The biking gear were clean and in a good shape.

We headed towards the mountain in the northern part if the island. The roads were empty and mostly in a good shape. Those couple of bad places Krister gave me a pre-warning. The landscape is very beautiful and totally different from the southern part of the island. It was quite cool when the curvy road took as above the clouds that were above the ocean to the north from Gran Canaria. We stopped for coffee, lunch and many times just to look the great views. The day was quite long but worth the every minute of it.

I can fully recommend this to all fellow Harley bikers but why not for other bikers as well. 🙂

  I did a 50 day tour of Europe last winter and this was the absolute highlight of my trip. Gran Canaria is a biker's paradise and this tour was outstanding.... read more The tour is extremely professional and the motorcycles are in perfect condition. Krister is the best guide I have ever had and his love of the Canary Islands is quite obvious. I cannot recommend this tour strongly enough. If you have the opportunity to ride with Krister, do not miss it. It is a once in a lifetime experience. I really hope I will have the chance to return and do another trip with Krister.

  OK!
Where to start?
What a great outfit these guys have got.
If you are ever in G.C. then you really must look up Rob & Kris.
Take a tour... read more with then and you will not regret it.
Our BIG MISTAKE was not leaving ourselves enough time to do ANOTHER one while we were there.
They both make you feel really welcome, totally relaxed and this all adds to a perfect day out!

  El pasado sábado dia 11 de octubre fue uno de los días mas especiales de mi vida, Touring Ride me ayudo a conseguir hacer realidad el sueño de una persona... read more muy especial para mi, montar en una Harley, me puse en contacto con ellos y contrate una ruta por la zona centro Norte de Gran Canaria. Yo sabia que seria algo genial pero sin duda superaron con creces mis expectativas. Una ruta de medio día amena, apasionante por los rincones más bellos de mi tierra y sobretodo con el placer de contar con personas con un trato sin igual, krister y su hijo Robert nos trataron en todo momento como familia, nos hicieron sentir cómodos, seguros, su dominio de las H.D. Su experiencia, su trato cordial y amigable hicieron de ese día un día inolvidable y se forjó una amistad que sin duda perdurara en el tiempo.
Una experiencia cien por cien recomendada que sin duda repetiré. TODOS LOS DETALLES PENSADOS, una ruta adaptada al cliente y la confianza de estar en manos de profesionales. Solo me queda decir GRACIAS!!!! Aquí ya tienes dos amigos sergio y lorena

  We recently booked a motorcycle tour on Las Palmas Gran Canary Island with "Touring Ride". It was an awesome way to see the island, we went from the north... read more side of the island via freeway to the south side in order to avoid possible bad weather. We then returned via great back roads. The roads were not only good quality but fun to ride with a lot of curves and amazing scenery. I would highly recommend Touring Ride for anyone who wants to see Gran Canary Island, loves to motorcycles and wants to stay away from touristy traps. There is a video on You Tube, take a look, it will give you a good idea of the island and roads.

  I was wondering before the trip that how in earth a service like this can get just 5* feedback. I don't wonder anymore. We had awesome days with Krister. First... read more day we spent on the curvy roads, a lot of sightseeing places to stop and enjoy. Krister always told more info about the places as well when we had stopped our bikes. And the motorcycling itself, that was fun! We have had winter in Finland, no driving since early October....So it was NICE! And weather conditions in Gran Canaria were excellent.
Not to forget that we had lunch and 3 other stops for coffee or other soft drinks. Lunch was also very good in that restaurant. Fish soup, chicken cordon bleu and tiramisu.
Second day Krister was free so he joined to have lunch tapas with me in the city of Las Palmas. We had long discussions and a lot of fun. After all I can say that if you have a possibility to book the HD touring, DO IT. You will not regret it afterwards....

Thanks about your super hospitality and nice touring experience!
Cheers

  The information received from Robert via email before our trip was good and very informative, this helped us to book the right day trip at a very short notice. Their... read more garage, from where we started, was easy to find, and is within walking distance (about 30 minutes) from Las Canterras beach, should you want to walk. Kris and Robert (father and son) welcomed us at the garage, where they keep their bikes, nice Harleys, for the trips. Completing the formalities, and getting the correct kit was quick and easy. We set off at 10am for 7 hour trip through the north of Gran Canaria, which included coffee and lunch stops. Kris does know the island very well and had a lot of information to share with us, one of the best ways to learn about the island, is a bike ride with him. We rode through Arucas (has it own rum distillery), Firgas (mineral springs and mineral water you will see on the shop shelves), Moya, Artenera (one of the highest villages with great mountain views), Tejeda, and Teror (with a world renown church - Basilica de Teror and also bottled spring water).
The whole day was very relaxing with nice roads to ride on and good company. Kris and Robert can do trips with 1-6 bikes at a time, and can also do week long and custom made tours. We highly recommend these guys for a fun way to see the islands. Although professionalism and safety comes first with them, they for sure know how the make it great fun. Many thanks Kris and Robert!

  Two of travelled from Australia to Gran Canaria for business. Our client in Pas Palmas rides a Harley and suggested we hire hire a couple of bikes and go... read more for a ride. We ended up arranging a full day tour with Krister of Touring Ride. We covered around 170km of varying roads travelling from Las Palmas down the east coast on great highway roads, through tourist towns, partly up the west coast then across the top of the island up to almost 2,000 meters altitude. Our day lasted around 7 hours and Krister was a fantastic host and guide. He looked after us and fed us well.
The bikes were in pristine condition, the scenery and roads were fantastic and the weather was just perfect. The posters and photos in Krister's workshop/garage shows he is a long-term true Harley Davidson enthusiast.
If you can ride a big bike and would like a day to truly remember for all the right reasons don't hesitate to contact Krister and Robert and book a tour - you wont regret it.
