Welcome to Touring Ride!

  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.

  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 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

Yo sabia que seria algo genial pero sin duda superaron con creces mis expectativas.

  We rode with Robert around the beaches & mountain, what a fantastic day! A perfect way to have a taste of the island for newcomers. Riding along the coastline up... read more the cliffs and through small mountain villages is absolutely relaxing.

Robert is a really friendly and attentive guy, we had interesting chats, and learned about the people, cuisine and culture of the island(s).

The bike was spotless, perfectly maintained and perfect for the island roads.

Definitely, we will repeat the experience next time we're around!

  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 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.

  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.
