I had a great time on the Core of Catalunya tour. The owner of Leod Escapes, Cat, was with us the whole way through, helping to facilitate and guide. He helped make sure we were informed of important details and that everyone was making it safely to the destinations. A big bonus of this tour was having Michael “HeyNow” Henao from Yamaha Champions Riding School on the tour. He’s not only a great guy, he brought the insights of a YCRS instructor to help us improve our riding while on the tour. We also had a wonderful local guide, David, with a deep and personal connection to Catalunya, riding, and racing. David brought us on the most amazing twisties I’ve ever ridden. He also shared stories of riding and racing that gave me an unforgettable appreciation for what this place represents in the world of motorcycles. The food was exceptional. We ate at some hidden gems throughout the region that would’ve been near impossible to find without someone familiar with the area. All of the hotel stays were also very exclusive. We stayed in beautiful locations only locals usually know about, far from tourist-heavy areas. This also allowed us to see amazing parts of Spain I didn’t even know existed. To top it off, we ended the tour with 3 days of riding on the Catalunya MotoGP circuit with Racing School Europe. That was incredible. Speechless. Overall, this was a life-changing tour, my riding has improved drastically, and I can’t wait to do the next one with Leod Escapes!

Our recent tour through Spain was my 2nd experience with Leod Escapes. The group dynamic was again exceptional, fostering a sense of camaraderie that made the journey more enjoyable. Our guide, David, was not only a skilled rider but also an effective communicator, ensuring the entire group's safety while keeping the pace up. We also had Michael from YCRS help build on the foundations learned at Champschool, which made me feel like an accomplished canyon rider by the time we ended the trip. The meticulously planned routes perfectly blended challenging twisty roads and spectacular landscapes--every mile was an adventure. Our time at Cataluyna, in particular, was a highlight, pushing my riding abilities to new limits and providing an unforgettable 3-day track experience. (Be prepared to buy an additional set of slicks!) The accommodations were comfortable and the food was delicious, offering a well-deserved rest after a day of riding. However, incorporating more free time in the late afternoons would allow riders to explore local towns and immerse themselves in the area at their own pace. If you're a motorcyclist seeking an unforgettable adventure, I highly recommend this tour. It's the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself, explore a beautiful country, and connect with like-minded individuals.

There are no words that could properly encompass this trip. To say it was a surreal, and absolutely indescribable experience would be an understatement. I knew it would be epic, the trip most dream of, but it completely exceeded every expectation. Could not POSSIBLY have imagined it better. Blown away. Thank you Leod Escapes, Cat and Nancy.
