Simonweir Reviews 

I have used a number of Simons European tour packs over the years and have always found them to be excellent. They include everything that you need from comprehensive gpx routes, tankbag notes and descriptions of all routes on a day to day basis. The routes include recommended hotels, fuel stops, coffee/lunch stops and scenic routes particularly mountain roads whenever possible. Main roads are only used when there is no other option or transitioning longer routes. You have to see one of Simons tour packs to see and realise how much work goes into producing the tours. The gpx and written notes all include the days route mileage and overall riding time. I think the only thing missing from the packs is weather forecasts and wouldn’t we all love to be in control of the weather.
If you are thinking of ordering a tour pack from Simon Weir I can only go ahead and do it, you will not be disappointed.
One of the most important things of these routes is that the daily mileages are set out so that you do not need to ride like a lunatic to reach the destination giving time to enjoy the roads and scenery.
Our latest tour was a week in Southern Ireland touring the Wild Atlantic Way in July/August this year.

Simply outstanding tours and incredible routes!

Simon’s tours are simply superb! I’ve just returned from his five-day Southern Spain tour and, despite knowing the Costa del Sol incredibly well, he took me on some amazing roads and to places I’d never discovered before.

I’ve now completed three of Simon’s tours and countless day trips, and every single one has been fantastic. His knowledge of the roads and ability to put together exceptional routes are second to none.

If you’re considering, I genuinely cannot recommend Simon highly enough. He’s absolutely immense!!

Fantastic service from this company. I have downloaded and completed many trips from Simon Weir, and every single trip has been outstanding. Door to door route planning, fuel stops, lunch stops etc. Everything has been thought about. I recommend Simons routes to everyone that asks me about my trips / tours.
You wont go wrong with Simon

Simon was excellent in providing gpx files and detailed maps and written day notes for our recent trip to the Dolomites . It made our trip so much easier. Definitely will be obtaining more from Simon in the future 👍

Great roads to ride that you would probably otherwise miss. Maps were simple to load into GPS and ran faultlessly. Excellent backup from Simon himself. Thoroughly recommended whether it’s your first overseas tour, or you’re a seasoned rider.

A great service with routes, daily notes and suggestions for stops, fuel and coffee with each day starting and ending with our booked accommodation.
As we decided to take an alternative route at each end of the tour Simon provided us with good information and advice for the local areas.
I highly recommend the service and routes provided.

Simon Weir services is exceptional ! He has planned numerous trips to Europe and the Nordic countries for myself and a friend.
Nothing is to much trouble and he will tailor the route for you so you get the very best experience on the roads be in the mountains or in picturesque lowlands of Europe.
One of our best trips was to Corsica and Sardinia following a great run through France.
Simon plans most routes with the minimum of use of Motorways or fee paying roads in Europe that makes the trip more exciting and cuts cost especially on fuel.
So if you would like to take a run into Europe but are unsure contact Simon you will not be disappointed .

We have been on two bespoke tours by Simon Weir and have really enjoyed both of them as rider and pillion. First tour was the French alps in 2023. Second tour was Portugal, Picos mountains and northern Spain this year 2026. Simon's tours are an excellent way to take the time out of all the planning of a long holiday. Daily planned routes with suggested stops using the gpx files, pdf document and highlighted maps. On stunning roads that sometimes you would not even think of taking. We highly recommend his services and will be using them again.

What can I say that hasn’t been said! He is the best!!

I've used Simon's books for many years to plan tours and they are excellent.
However, I wanted to plan a long tour for 3-4 weeks in France and Spain with my wife and asked Simon to help with this more complicated trip.
After giving him rough dates and an idea of the areas we were interested in, Simon came up with a rough plan that we could tweak. He then supplied us with the final schedule with digital tour notes, gpx files and paper tour notes in the post. The attention to detail is fantastic.
We had an epic trip over 3,500 miles taking in superb roads and views throughout the Pyrenees and Alps with great places to stay. He even sent us an emergency detour route whilst we were away due to an unexpected pass closure.
Simon's knowledge and level of service cannot be questioned and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him when planning a tour.

As a group we have done 5 tours with Simon, all of them have been well organised with great routes, Simon has become a friend now, purely because of the tours recommendations, tips, and what to see on the tours.back up support before and during trips .

Have used Simon many times to arrange our bike tours and it’s been great from
Start to finish! first class service! Totally recommend!

Simon has been planning our Europe bike tours for years. Every year his routes just get better and better. His knowledge and attention to detail is incredible. Don’t waste your time trying to plan your motorcycle trips, just leave it to the pro you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again Simon for all the great memories you’ve helped us create. Cheers Karl

had a trip to Corsica with simon and its was beautifully planned with amazing roads, fuel and coffee stops already booked for another tour next year

If you are looking for support on a day ride, full holiday route and want the most comprehensive package, Simon is your man!

We entrusted Simon putting x2 bespoke touring packages together for a group of us earlier this year. One for the Pyranees and one for navigating from Spain to Austria. We were very specific about our needs and desires. Communication was fantastic, professional and right on point.

When I say comprehensive, I mean it. Electronic documents were proffesionally done, backed up with paper maps, and if I'm honest, more than we expected for the price.

We had the most wonderfull tour and it took a lot of the 'am I missing the best bits' guess work out of worries we may have had.

We will use Simon again and would recommend his services 100% to anyone considering a tour in unfamilar territories, or to seek out the hidden gems you may other wise just whizz past.

Fantastic!

Simon provided routes for a recent trip to the French Alps. The scenery was magnificent and the roads an absolute delight to ride on. Overall a fantastic trip which surpassed my expectations. I thoroughly recommend using Simon, his knowledge and package provided is exceptional.

Used Simon twice to plot individual routes through France. Excellent routes included all stops, paper map and obviously GPX files. Bought Simon’s European touring book and used it this year for a trip across the Pyrenees.
Would highly recommended Simon’s route planning and books. UK book is on my Christmas list.

I've used Simons vast expertise and knowledge for two separate tours (a bespoke tour dealing with the Picos, the Pyrenees and Western France and the second tour was Simons Croatian Tour).
I can strongly recommend the complete tour packs, including the maps, tour notes and tank bag notes. The level of accuracy and detail that Simon puts into these packs is so worth the money for peace of mind and a totally stress-free travelling adventure. It's not only getting access to the best routes out there but it is the hidden gems, the local knowledge, and the practicalities of fuel, food and accomodation. Definately money very well spent and I'll be doing it again.

The leader of the pack!

Simon is a great tour leader, finding the best roads, great places to stop for refreshments and food, and quality hotels with safe parking. It doesn’t seem to matter where you go with Simon he always has local knowledge!

Keep up the good work…. Look forward to following you on a tour soon 🙂.

My friend and I have used three of Simon's routes now for Europe trips, and they've all been superb. The most recent, Secret France was a particular surprise and we rode on some fantastic roads in some excellent areas. Simon's routes take all the hassle out of organising a big European trip and his hotel recommendations are always spot on from a location and bike security perspective.

We will be doing another Weir route next year without a doubt.
