A fantastic way to tour maximum number is 15 people so you get a personal experience. Simon and Bruce make it a fantastic trip were ever you go I’m lucky enough to of been on quite a few trips & I’ve enjoyed everyone

We have had Simon plan 4 trips for us now.last year I asked for a bespoke trip and he delivered he even said it was a tricky ask but he came through with what we wanted 10/10

Simon helped me plan a tour this year based on my dates, and rough idea of where I wanted to go, and it was fantastic!
Despite Simon’s hectic touring schedule, the comms were brilliant throughout, and I received an amazing tour pack, with paper maps marked up with the routes, and tankbag notes for each day. The route itself was truly superb, and I could never have planned this myself and hit all the great roads that Simon planned for me.
I am already starting to think about the next tour, and I will definitely be using Simon’s routes again; the only question is whether it is one of the “off the peg” tours, or another customised one to suit my requirements. Highly recommended for anyone planning a bike trip!

I had the pleasure of being introduced to Simon during a shared Chicken strips motorcycle tour, and what a fantastic experience it was!
Simon's knowledge of the roads, surrounding areas, and, more importantly, his ability to find those hidden gems and roads less travelled is second to none.
The routes were not only spectacular but also offered just the right level of challenge to test your riding skills and capabilities, while still allowing you to enjoy every mile and the scenery along the way.
It's clear that Simon has a genuine passion for motorcycling and an incredible understanding of what makes a great ride.
Sometimes the simplest words carry the most meaning, so I'll finish with just two: Thank you, Simon!

An absolute pleasure, and I look forward to riding with you again.

I’ve used Simon’s routes for a few years now, I tend to do some of my own
Routes but at least once a year will use Simon as he provides reliable, enjoyable routes that I know are going to be good. Would definitely recommend.

Simon puts satnav to shame. Awesome routes

First time using Simon’s expertise. From the beginning of my contact with Simon explaining what I needed to the full package being put together and signed off, I was impressed. Sat nav routes sent electronically, uploaded to my Garmin gps was easy. Tour notes, daily tank bag notes sent electronically. We travelled from Bilbao to south coast of Spain and back, over 2.5 weeks on a Goldwing. Excellent communication from Simon, did what he said he would do on time, with huge attention to detail. I supplied a list of my accomodation, Simon created a daily route from hotel to hotel, using interesting roads and seeing as much as the area as possible still remembering we were on holiday, not trying to set mileage records each day, relaxed touring. Daily printed tank bag notes that were superb, bullet point navigation, to work along side the Garmin gps, hints and tips included, even which gas stations to use to fill up, we had no fuel anxiety at all ! Daily suggestions for coffee & food stops along each daily route. Lots of overall tour info relating to the country and areas, and reminders as to what we had to organise before leaving. Physical paper Michelin maps all marked up with each days route as a back up. To sum up, excellent work from Simon, the stress was removed, we had a great time. Simon will be doing the same for our next trip, a no brainer in my opinion, excellent value for money, well done !

I had the pleasure recently of completing a motorcycling tour of the French Alps with two good friends. This included routes to and from Cherbourg. Simon did the routes for us, which were easily transferred to our satnavs.

The routes worked perfectly, with suggested coffee stops, fuel stops and a selection of roads that were perfect for motorcycling.

Simon’s knowledge of mountain passes (Cols), gorges, scenic views, mountain “balcony” roads and so much more was simply amazing. We could not have made up even a fraction of the routes with months of prep that Simon was able to do, and at a very reasonable cost.

We have already commissioned him to sort out routes for a Spain/Portugal trip next year.

We completed Simon's Vosges & Jura Tour last September and really enjoyed the whole trip. The tour was very well planned with marked up Michelin maps, GPX route files and notes for each day with recommended refreshment establishments, fuel stops and hotels. The tour was 9 days but we extended it to 15 days by adding addition days to explore areas of particular interest. The GPX files were loaded onto our SatNav devices and worked flawlessly. I can thoroughly recommend this tour and will look at other tours in the future.

Bespoke 10 day trip from Bilbao to Calais for 2 bikes in May’26.
All routes downloaded to satnav ok and real maps supplied which we didn’t need or use. The accompanying notes for each day’s ride were excellent and the timings spot on. Hotel recommendations were good too. A couple of times the coffee/lunch venues were closed but we managed to find alternatives. All in all a great trip.

I did the Luxembourg trip a few months ago, and found everything was really well presented, with the .gpx routes for my satnav, a ‘marked up’ Michelin map, and great recommendations for hotels. I can’t wait to do my next one!

A gentleman and a scholar, and a thoroughly decent sort of chap! 👍

I have used Simon’s knowledge of biking roads here and abroad for years, all I can say is he takes the hassles and frustrations out of planning a road trip 👍

I own all of Simon’s tour guide books, have purchased single GPX routes from his website and a european tour package. Have also been on several tours with Chickenstrips, with Simon leading the way. All contact with Simon and the routes used have been top class and I recommend him to anyone looking for tour routes if you want the guarantee of a good ride out.

The main thing was exactly what we wanted the route spot on which was the big hitters alps / passes tour all hotels very good The only small thing was finding lunch stops and not all was open overall excellent will definitely use Simon’s routes again

Simon Weir leaves no stone unturned everything is covered, turn by turn instructions on notes maps and gpx files including coffee stops lunch breaks abd fuel.Ived used Simon for four tours and each tour has been fabulous and so easy.

Simon has provided me with two big trips covering 2 weeks each so far and I have also had a couple of single or 2 day rides. The big trips were riding to Dubrovnik and back and then this year a trip around Norway.
I have to say the routes he selected for me were fantastic. I said how long each day I wanted to ride and he came up with the goods. Every day held something pretty amazing and his notes are detailed and gave great recommendations on where to stop off for a lunch or coffee and pastries etc. he sends out a pack with gps files, daily ride notes covering navigation and stops and sightseeing plus a full fold out map with the route coloured in. Having said all that it’s easy to take a detoured you want to.
This years trip through Norway was spectacular seeing Mother Nature on steroids.
Always happy to recommend Simon to anyone looking for a great riding experience.

I've used Simon's website for the odd UK route and they are always well planned and interesting.
Building on that I decided to purchase one of his Swiss Alps tours and wow, what an experience. I feel like I packed so much stuff into every day and memories for a lifetime.
