Welcome to Touring Ride!

  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!

  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 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!

  One day drive in the mountains with Krister is best activity that you can find in Gran canaria. Route depends of skils and experience of the customer. It's hard to... read more imagine what kind of places there is to discover when you are at the poolside of the holiday resort. You have to go once and try.
Bikes are Harley Davisons so if you can not drive at home because ice and snow with your Harley there you can. And i carantee that you don't have the same feeling with rental car.

  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.

  If you have experience with motorcycles this tour is a no brainer. I booked this as a surprise for my husband and we both loved it! Spending the... read more day riding around the island with Krister was a wonderful treat. We were also able to meet Robert, Krister's son and business partner. These two individuals take great pride in their business. This is evident in the quality of the bikes as well as the jackets, gloves and helmets. I was so impressed and so happy that I booked the day with Krister. The island is amazing but you truly see all the beauty on a bike. I could have done this tour multiple days. If ever back on the island I would book this tour with Krister again in a heartbeat. Just to note, this was a stop on a cruise we were traveling on Krister picked us up at the port and dropped us back off. It was very convenient.

  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. 🙂
