Welcome to Touring Ride!

  Nosotros hicimos la ruta en verano, mi chica me dió la sorpresa. Krister desde el principio ha tenido un trato inmejorable.
Días después de la ruta le mandé un email... read more para agradecerle ese día tan especial que fue para nosotros.
Es como si sales de ruta con un amigo, al poco de estar con él parece que le conoces desde hace tiempo, un gran motero.
No se puede decir nada malo de él ni de sus motos perfectas y limpias.
Volveremos a vernos en nuestra próxima visita o en alguna ruta de las que organiza en la península.

  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!!!

  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. 🙂

  Mi novia y yo contratamos el tour de un día por el norte de la isla. Krister y su hijo Robert nos recibe fin en su garaje donde pudimos aparcar... read more el coche de alquilar. Tanto la moto como los cascos y chaquetas se encuentran en muy buen estado lo que contribuyó a que la excursión fuera genial.

Krister nos llevó por unas carreteras fantásticas y pudimos parar en sitios con muchas cosas interesantes que ver. La verdad es que poder conocer los rincones de gran canaria sobre una Harley Davidson ha sido una experiencia única.

Muchas gracias por un día fantástico e inolvidable, sin duda cuando volvamos a gran canaria repetiremos con Touring Ride otro fantástico tour!

  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

  I was on the Gran Canaria Island for work , not sure if I would have any days off . I managed to get a day off and looked into... read more a Motorcycle tour , Harley Davidson of course . This was an experience I'll remember til the day I die even though I've been riding for 35 + years in the USA and even Hawaii . Krister took us thru some of the mountains and beaches I've ever seen . Krister is also an amazing man to talk with and generally hang around . The towns we stopped at and drove thru were fantastic . Lunch was also a real experience . But the riding was truly a unique experience . The Harley's my co workers/friends rode were in the best shape with low miles . All I can say is MAKE THE TIME to go on one of Krister's tours .... you will never forget it !
Thanks Krister . Bill O'Brien,Jr , Baltimore ,Maryland , USA

  We had booked a one-day trip including tourguide - but it was even more: Kris took us from Las Palmas through the North to the Northwest of Gran Canaria -... read more then we left the coastline behind us and we went up on tiny & curvy but well paved mountain raods to the inner areas of the island. Short stopps for picture taking, a coffee and a lunch break were included. Kris is a perfect rider to visit off the beaten path roads, get great impressions of the island and have a safe Feeling all day long. The bike was in perfect shape as both - father & son (Kris and Robert) run a family business with great passion and 'the big-twin-heart'. Thank you for the ride on Gran Canaria!

  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!

  Really enjoyed the ride - had an epic tour with Krister and Robert of the North of the Island (unfortunately I did not have more time to enjoy more days... read more touring with these guys).

The bikes were immaculate and well maintained, they quickly arranged a great tour to meet my short timescales, they were very welcoming and friendly, epically knowledgeable about the Island and very safe to ride with.

Gran Canaria is an epic place to enjoy a Harley Motorcycle Tour, the climate was superb and there is no better way to tour such a place than the freedom of a motorcycle.

Highly recommended!

  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.
