Rider Experiences & Independent MotoGreece Reviews

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.

Mark & I from New Zealand took a chance and contacted John at MotoGreece to enquire about him setting up the 19 day tour for us last year, and he couldn’t have been more helpful. We did this in June just gone on our own and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The roads he set on the TomTom were awesome, Mark enjoyed the Baros Pass as it was a constant flow left to right. The places he arrange for us to stay were a delight, the BMW was a dream to ride two up, the scenery exceptional. The roads were very different from NZ with lots of corners and challenges, we even found time to do the Touristy things. We had A and B routes , but would recommend the A for confident riders. We were given a booklet that covered day to day riding with advice and places to see, which we followed and enjoyed even when you returned on same road you had a different perspective. I found the booklet great to write my own day to day notes in so we could reflect on them when we got home to reminisce on such a great adventure that was so much fun and lots of photos stored away. Would I recommend it - hell yes, go for it you won’t regret it.

Excellent Self-Guided Motorbiking around Greece with Motogreece Outstanding experience with our self-guided 11-day tour across Athens and Pelion - riding two up. We were impressed with the quality of the motorbike; 2025-1300GS which ran extremely well for the entire 11-days and zero issues. The roads in Greece are in great physical shape and while we have traveled to 67 Countries (and counting), and most by motorbike; Greece offered the most curved roads and hairpin turns than any other country we’ve traveled in. I was honestly surprised but pleasantly pleased! Motogreece, AKA: John & John assembled a great 11-day itinerary with all topnotch hotels reserved for our self-guided tour. Detailed printed booklet and TomTom provide day by day instructions for road navigation, coffee stops, gas stations, highlights of things to do & see and restaurant recommendations. Motorbiking around Greece is a great way to see the Country, visit the many historical sites and experience the culture and history of historical Greece. We highly recommend MotoGreece if you’re planning a motorbike excursion. They offer tours from 2-16 day duration and will provide you with an outstanding experience for a very fair, reasonable, all inclusive price for the motorbike and lodging.

Unforgettable Trip in Greece Unforgettable Ride In Greece Our motorcycle trip through the Peloponnese and Northwest Greece was fantastic. Winding roads, charming villages and amazing landscapes made our trip unforgettable. We did the 16 day self guided tour. John planned our trip and bikes were in great shape with a fully loaded GPS with multiple route options and rest day rides. Great itinerary with all the historic sites marked with time to explore. Unique and conveniently located hotels were outstanding. We were impressed with John’s knowledge and the map books provided with stops and tips for each stop. Food recommendations were incredible (make sure to check them out). Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

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.

Great Adventure in The Peloponnese Just returned from our first self-guided tour with Motogreece in the Peloponnese. John and John at Motogreece exceeded our expectations - they were friendly, knowledgeable and very patient with all our questions at the pre- tour meeting!The BMW F800 supplied with a 3 box set was practically brand new, handled faultlessly and the ideal bike for the tour. The pre-set routes preset by John and John in the satsav are amazing with breathtaking views all the way. The lovely boutique hotels were in great locations and motorcycle friendly.We would highly recommend Motogreece - definitely First Class all the way.

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.

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.

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!!

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

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.

Awesome 15-day two-up mainland Greece tour Kimmy and I did a two-up 15 day self guided tour of everything west of Athens. An amazing trip that ranged from beaches to quaint villages to towering mountain passes. The route John suggested was phenomenal, with many secondary roads that let us really see the Greek countryside. There is history around every turn, the people are wonderful, and the food is fantastic and inexpensive. The hotels John booked for us were great. We rented an almost new BMW 1250 GS which worked great for the two of us and our luggage. Greece is the most consistently beautiful country either of us has ever traveled in! We are planning to do this again!

Fantabulous We had one of the best trips we have ever taken! My wife and I took the 19 day self tour and it was arranged perfectly. We were on a 750GS and it was a great size for the small roads and villages. The hotels we stayed at were a perfect match for us. The research that went into coming up with the routes and accommodations was obviously a monumental task and John and John did a great job.

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!

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.

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

We have travel the world , dealing with multiple Motorcycle rentals companies , Ireland, Equador, Spain , South Africa which was my favorite, New Zealand , UK , France , Germany , Austria, Switzerland and now after a 9 day ride I Greece surpass all my expectation and my number 1 favorite ride now , the mountains , the passes , ocean coast line , the hotel accommodations , curves , switchbacks are endless , beautiful country side , people were very welcoming , John you both have an amazing business, great bikes and one minor incident which was our fault and you treated us fairly making us wanting to return once again in the near future . Thank you again for this unforgettable journey Marc Fortier Northern Ontario Canada

Top marks We’ve just had an amazing trip organised by Motogreece. The bikes were fantastic — brand-new or low-mileage BMW GS 1300 Triple Blacks, all with top boxes and preloaded satnavs. Everything was ready to go, and the route John planned was absolutely brilliant.The boutique hotels were all lovely and in places we’d never have found ourselves. The roads and routes were spot on — great riding every day, just the right amount of distance, and we got to see all the sights we’d hoped to.We did a six-day tour of the Peloponnese and met John the evening before to sort the paperwork, which made the start super smooth. On day one we were straight on the bikes after a quick orientation for those new to the GS.Can’t recommend Motogreece and John highly enough — everything ran perfectly, the bikes were incredible (did I mention they were all Triple Blacks?), and no detail was spared. We’ll definitely be back!
