Simonweir Reviews 

I’ve used Simon Weir’s services on multiple occasions for tour planning, and I genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough.

Simon has planned fantastic tours for me to the Picos de Europa and Portugal, as well as Wales, and is currently putting together a bespoke trip to Corsica.

His attention to detail is second to none, and the time, care and thought he puts into every aspect of the planning really sets him apart. Nothing ever seems too much trouble, and he is always incredibly responsive, helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right.

What really stands out is his ability to take your ideas and turn them into a thoughtfully planned, personalised experience. His knowledge, professionalism and genuine enthusiasm shine through in everything he does.

Having trusted Simon with several trips now, I wouldn't go anywhere else for my tour planning. An exceptional service from start to finish, and someone I would wholeheartedly recommend!

Fantastic and detailed routes, would fully recommend. Worth every penny!

Excellent guide. Excellent routes planned and adjusted when needed. Great people to ride with and scenery was amazing. Great accommodation for our evenings.

No one will provide better routes than Simon ,used him countless times and never fails to impress me with his knowledge.

Simon is a great person to tour with. His knowledge of exceptional roads is encyclopaedic. He also has a superb sense of humour and is really easy going. Recommended.

If you want to discover some cracking roads, enjoy spectacular scenery and have a thoroughly good time on two wheels, Simon Weir is your man!

Simon has an incredible knowledge of the roads, an obvious passion for motorcycling and a knack for finding those fantastic routes that you’d probably never stumble across yourself.

What makes Simon stand out is that he’s not just a knowledgeable guide, he’s a genuinely great bloke to spend time with. Friendly, approachable, good company and always happy to share his experience, with a healthy dose of humour thrown in for good measure.

Everything is well thought out without feeling regimented, leaving you free to enjoy what motorcycling is all about – great roads, great company and a sense of adventure.

You get the impression Simon enjoys showing people these roads just as much as he enjoys riding them himself.

A top bloke, a first-class guide and someone I wouldn’t hesitate to ride with again. Thoroughly recommended!

I've done a couple of tours with Simon running point and it's not an understatement to say he's the Oracle of roads and places.

If you want to know youre going to be riding the best roads, it's money well spent to join one of the chickenstrips tours, use his pre-planned website routes, or reach out to him to take advantage of his bespoke route planning service.

Highly recommended!

Fantastic road trips. 30 years of knowledge and experience goes into all these routes. Highly recommended.

Simon Weir is one of those rare people who does absolutely everything to an exceptionally high standard.

His knowledge of UK and European roads is nothing short of encyclopaedic, but what really sets him apart is his ability to turn that knowledge into brilliantly planned motorcycle routes and tours. He doesn’t just find good roads; he understands what makes a truly memorable ride, combining fantastic riding, stunning scenery and thoughtful planning to deliver experiences that are hard to beat.

That same attention to detail extends to everything else he offers. His motorcycle apparel is clearly designed by someone who actually rides, understands what bikers want and refuses to compromise on quality. It’s practical, well thought out and excellent.

What shines through in everything Simon does is his genuine passion for motorcycling, his extraordinary depth of knowledge and his determination to get things right.

Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable European motorcycle tour, an expertly crafted route or quality biking apparel, I can’t recommend Simon highly enough. A genuine expert who consistently delivers excellence.

Five stars, without hesitation.

Encyclopedic knowledge and recall of hundreds of routes throughout the Uk, Europe and other parts of the Globe. Having used his routes and tour planning guides the info he provides and suggestions of where to find refreshments and lodgings are SUPERB !!! I cannot recommend him highly enough….. your No.1 “Go To” if you want the best from your bike and car trips - a 5⭐️ throughly nice bloke too.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Simon is a genuinely nice guy who is extremely professional. His knowledge is next level and unmatched in this field.

Simon is the complete Guru when it comes to planning / leading UK and European tours. The books / on line maps are easy to navigateand if you are lucky enough to be part of his led tours your in for a riding treat, excellent paced for miles of smiles, would highly recommend.

Epic Tours, highly recommended!

Simon is a true encyclopaedia when it comes to the best riding roads

I own all of Simon Weir’s books, and I’ve bought several tour packs from his website. They’re excellent value for money. I’d say Simon does 90% of the planning for you. Each day’s scenic route is worked out, right down to where to stop for a coffee, where to fill up and a suggested hotel for the night. All I have to do is book the hotels, and I’m ready to ride.

I’ve also toured through France and Spain with Simon himself, and what stays with me is his choice of roads. Some stretches are a joy to take slowly so you can enjoy the view. Others have the sort of bends that make you glad you came on a motorcycle. So, if you fancy a spirited ride or you’re there for the scenery, Simon knows where to take you.

I’d recommend his tour packs to anyone planning a motorcycle trip, and I’d happily ride with him again. Five stars from me.

Just completed my first road trip curated by Simon. I had 4 weeks and 4000 miles in Spain and Portugal driving on some spectacularly scenic and twisty roads in my Porsche.
From start to finish very professional and everything you need from printed directions and gpx complete with hotels, fuel, lunch and coffee stops.
Can't wait for next year!

Simon created a set of bespoke routes for me in 2025 and again in 2026. Excellent attention to detail and really easy to deal with regarding my specific wishes for some of the days.

A great service, it saves so much time and gets you on the good roads. My friends and I have used Simon's maps for the last 3 years.

Simon has fantastic knowledge and the routes we did were great, lots of advice where to stop for local views and recommendations for accommodation.
Simon responded quickly to any of my questions
100% top guy 👍

Simon created a 21 day tour for us from the UK to Romania and back. We was worried we would spend hours on Autobahns and miss all the good bits because we was unaware of them. Simon came up trumps with a superb compilation of routes that not only included every coffee stop and fuel stop but took us to the door of our hotel each day. 4500 mile trip and it was if he had ridden every mile to plan our trip! Highly recommend and will definitely use again!
