Rider Experiences & Independent MotoGreece Reviews

I’ve rented bikes all over the world, and this 10-day self-guided central & northern Greece tour was exceptional. The folks at MotoGreece provide excellent bikes, navigation, accommodations and suggestions.

Outstanding trip My wife and I experienced the 10 day self guided tour of Central/Northwest Greece. Everything went like clockwork. John arranged for our airport pickup and we arrived at his shop with our riding gear. Our bike was there prepped and ready to go. After loaded the side cases and completing a little paperwork, John gave us a very comprehensive briefing, provided a GPS with routes and alternates, a guide book with much useful and detailed information, and printed map pages for each day. With that we were on our way. Ten fabulous days. The routes were clearly put together by someone who loves “motorcycle roads” and the lodging was outstanding. The guide book provided a great deal of useful information suggesting when and where to fuel up and where to eat and local sites to visit. Every suggestion we followed was a winner. We’ve taken self-guided, guided, rent and ride and this was one of the best. I highly recommend and have recommended to my NorCal BMW Club members. I’m curious about some of the other areas and suspect we’ll use MotoGreece again. Incidentally, I’ve never felt compelled to rate a tour company before as a few promised more than they delivered. MotoGreece actually exceeded our expectations.

Highly recommended Highly professional outfit! I’ve rented bikes in multiple countries, and MotoGreece was one of the best. Helpful staff and quality bikes. Highly recommended and would definitely use them again. All the positive reviews online helped me choose and they were spot-on.

We are quite experienced motorcycle travelers having rented and ridden in multiple countries. Our most recent trip was Greece with Moto Greece Communication: excellent before and during the trip Planning: the best we have had. Very nice and thorough customized day by day guide book for our trip with multiple options. Multiple sites and dining recommendations. Pre-programmed GPS with multiple options Motorcycles: New or almost new. Clean. Well prepared. Owners were very happy to spend extra time with us getting any desired personal electronics mounted with access to charging. They rent adventure touring bikes because the roads in some of the remote areas lack maintenance and can be a little rough. The extra suspension travel was much appreciated. Lodging: all carefully chosen and wonderful for our tastes The scenery was epic. Very few cars once out of Athens. The owners were also happy to serve as concierges re: time in Athens. Overall One of our best trips. Would we book with them again? Absolutely. Suggestion: Consider charging a little more and putting toll passes on the bikes. The tolls were not that common but are difficult on a motorcycle when paying cash especially when no attendant was present in the booths. It would have been nice just to roll through with a pass

I cant thank John and the MotoGreece team enough for the recent trip I have just experienced. A mate and I came from Australia and did the 11 day tour of northern Greece, and having completed many motorbike tours all over the world, including both self guided and group tours, this has been probably the best experience I have had on a bike. Everything about the package that motogreece put together was fantastic, well thought out and planned to perfection. The routes were far better than I could ever have imagined, with miles and miles of twisting, windy roads through amazing and varied landscapes, with very little other traffic through most of it, and what one would only describe as a culture of road ‘recommendations’ instead of road rules. I was provided with a Triple Black GS1250 and my mate on a GS800, both were in imaculate condition and extremely well maintained. They never missed a beat, as is to be expected of these bikes and were a perfect match to the roads we encountered. Each day of riding was a surprise package, with hints and suggestions of local sight seeing, taverns and stop overs recommended in the road book provided. These tips, combined with the outstanding accomodation package made for an unforgettable and easy experience. I was extremely impressed by the quality and location of the hotels, a number of which were multi night stays with loop rides returning to the same location each night, which meant for easier and more enjoyable riding without the luggage and panniers, but also allowed you to settle in to a neighbourhood for a couple of days and get to experience the local area better. I will be back to explore more of the country to the South and could not recommend the service and quality provided by the motogreece team more highly. Thanks for an amazing and unforgettable experience John.

In October we rode the MotoGreece Northern route, two up, through the mountains on their GS1300 Triple Blacks. The bike were brilliantly specced and prepared with good luggage. The route provided (with their Tom Toms and paper notes) gave us the opportunity to see both popular and remote parts of Greece, the highlight being the 1905m Barros Pass. The accommodation provided was excellent and we ate in all the recommended restaurants. An excellent tour for riders and pillions. Well done to both the Johns at MotoGreece. Thanks, Nick and Claire

Look no further to rent your adventure bike in Greece. Absolutely top bikes, top service, and top kindness. John and John are super friendly, committed to their business, and passionate about what they do. I rented an f800gs for a weekend road trip, the bike was basically brand new, in mint condition. Everything was easy, seamless, I couldn't have hoped for a better experience. Definitely my go to place for rentals!

Motorcycle riding bucket list; Greece Our experience of doing the Self-guided 16-day Peloponnese & Central-Northwest tour with friends, in May 2024 booked through MotoGreece, was beyond expectations. From our first email contact to our debriefing at the end of the 16 days, communications and service were excellent. It is clear that the partners John and John, who manage the company, are passionate about motorcycles and making sure their customers have the best riding experiences. The bikes, two BMW 1250 GS's and a BMW F 750 GS were in great shape. The pre-loaded routes took us to places we would never have found by ourselves; seaside towns, mountain routes, ancient sites. Almost every day, the scenery was breathtaking. Accommodations were first class. We appreciated that we stayed in most places for two nights giving the option and alternative routes to explore the area or take a day off and relax. The booklet with maps, mileage breakdown and a lot of other extremely useful information including recommendations for restaurants and interesting places to visit, was a bonus. Greece is definitely a place to add to a motorcycle riding bucket list. In my opinion (I ride pillion) this is the way to explore Greece. And I would highly recommend booking through MotoGreece in Athens.

Motorcycle tour of Peloponnese I have been motorcycle touring for many years, and this trip was by far the best organised. We arrived to pick up the bikes (brand new BMW 1300 tourers), and the whole trip had been planned to the finest detail. The TomTom satnav devices had been preloaded with routes and accommodation, and the roads chosen were great biking roads, off the beaten track, and allowed us to appreciate the full beauty of the country. Points of interest were detailed, hotels were well chosen and boutique in style, and distances were just right to balance the experience between riding and relaxing. Cannot recommend John and his team highly enough!

Excellent route, excellent bike, Excellent accomodations, excellent hosts, excellent weather. This was our 7th self-guided trip to different parts of the world and is the best so far. Rob Tomchick - Tobermory, Ontario, Canada.

Fabulous self guided tour We did a self guided 10 days trip with Motogreece and it was a remarkable wonderful journey. We experienced the real life of Greece in small villages deep in the mountains. John did an excellent job mapped out an excellent motorcycle route for 10 fabulous days. My husband and I could not stop talking about how great this trip was. We are considering returning to Greece and ride other part of Greece that John put together. Highly recommend this company without any reservations.

An absolutely excellent experience from start to finish! I would 110% recommend Moto Greece Tours. As quite experienced tourers we appreciated the attention to detail and the time that John put in to making our holiday a success. The pre- brief was relevant, helpful, humorous and just the right amount of info. Also the written info we got could then be read day by day, so we didn’t have to retain everything. The routes were fabulous- and gave us a good biking experience, scenic, some twisties and demanding sections, but it gave us a view of the Peloponnese that would never have discovered on our own. The attention to detail in the routes for possible good spots for lunch spots and local attractions was great. It was both a riders and pillions tour - our group of 9 were all super happy with our trip!! THANK YOU!!

8 Day Self-Guided Tour of the Peloponnese We did the 8-day self-guided Peloponnese tour at the beginning of October. Our bike of choice was the Honda NC750X. The bike was in excellent condition and was the perfect choice for 2-up riding. We have taken a dozen or so motorcycle trips throughout the world, and this trip ranks near the very top. The pre-programmed GPS and paper guidebook were very well organized. Just load up a map for the day, and off you go. The amount of riding time each day was perfect. We could sleep in a little bit some days and still arrive at the next destination with some time available for some exploration. The hotel choices were all excellent. Scenery in this area of Greece is amazing. We will definitely be back again for another trip with Moto Greece.

First class motorcycle rental and tour company in the heart of Athens, Greece Motogreece is a first class motorcycle rental operation and is certainly the one I would recommend for a rental or tour when visiting Greece. As an owner of a motorcycle dealership in the US and having rented motorcycles all over the world I can honestly say we had one of our best rental experiences with Motogreece, from the first email response on the owners were very helpful throughout the entire duration of our trip. Highly knowledgeable and with an excellent selection of newer bikes that are in great condition and thoroughly maintained. This is a relatively small operation compared to some mega rental franchises we have dealt with before which allows for a much more personal experience tailored to suit your needs. We rented at a very short notice and John was able to accommodate us with bikes we were very happy with in just a few days. These guys truly are enthusiast and go out of their way to help whenever possible. I would not look any further if you are looking to pick up a rental motorbike in the Athens area. They are also conveniently located downtown about 30 min from the airport and relatively close to the Acropolis area.

My wife and I completed a personalized 22 day self guided motorcycle tour of Greece made possible by MotoGreece. I normally don't do a lot of reviews but felt I had to review this trip with MotoGreece. From the first time I contacted John at MotoGreece back in February we've experienced nothing but courtesy and expertise in listening to our requirements, assessing our needs and formulating a trip that fit our schedule. We had been invited to a 3 day wedding in a seaside town in the Peloponnese region that John was able to incorporate into their 19 day self guided tour of Greece. We were blown away by the tour John had put together. John had arranged transportation from the airport, the keys and instructions to a like-new 1250 Triple Black GS and detailed itinerary. The day by day travel itinerary book was easy to follow and made the days ride foolproof and included points of interest, great riding break locations at scenic villages, wonderful beaches and often, route options. The GPS routes led us through spectacular scenic gorges and mountain passes on challenging paved roads right to the lovely hotels where the front desk staff were expecting us. At the end of each days ride there were suggestions provided in the itinerary for authentic local restaurants. In addition to showing us the major archaeological and geological sites MotoGreece showed us parts of Greece that we would never have discovered on our own and that I'm sure even some native Greeks have never experienced. This was our first tour arranged by someone other than myself but I cannot imagine that any other Moto Tour company would be capable of providing a better more comprehensive tour of Greece. Thank you guys for what I feel was an unparalleled motorcycle experience. Gerry & Mary Lou

This was the best trip so far for my motorcycle adventures. My brother and I did the 8 day self guided tour of the Peloponnese. Every detail of the trip was fantastic. Roads, views, hotels, cultural sites and hotels were perfect. If Greece was not on your list for a motorcycle trip it should be and I highly recommend MotoGreece to plan your trip. Thanks for providing a great vacation, I hope to see you again and tour more of your beautiful country.

Great company. Great bike. Great ride. Motogreece is John and John. These two owners made the experience excellent from beginning to end.Advance preparation - In the lead up to the trip, they were prompt in their replies, flexible in offering routes, made lodging suggestions that best fit our needs, and were overall efficient in all aspects of the reservation.Their shop and bikes - Upon arrival, it was obvious they run a tight ship and maintain their bikes to the highest standard. Our 2025 R1300GS was prepped and ready to go.The logistics - The route planning was excellent. They provided a Tom Tom, with all routes, lodging, fuel, etc clearly marked. And, for the directionally challenged, they included a number of waypoints along each designated route. In addition, they provided a packet that explained each day’s route, the mileage, time, fuel and food options, route difficulty, etc.The roads - Once you clear Athens and the requisite traffic, the roads empty out and are a joy. Many of the suggested routes had zero traffic. We rode on everything from smooth pavement, to “better pay attention” pavement, to one 10 mile section of challenging gravel and switchbacks. All roads were all great in their own way.The lodging - We requested upgraded lodging where available, and they did not disappoint. Every place fit our needs quite well, with nice accommodations and a good restaurant.The turn in - We dropped the bike off at the scheduled time, and the check-in was a snap. They even arranged a friend to take us to our airport hotel due to a taxi driver strike that had started the previous day.Conclusion - If you are intending to come to Greece for a motorcycle holiday, you could do no better than Motogreece. John and John will take great care of you.
