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. 🙂

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!

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 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.

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!

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

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!
