"Artem started his professional career as an Automotive Industry auditor. He has had over 8 years of experience in a car rental company, working in different positions such as fleet specialist, CSR, team leader and country manager. From a very young age, Artem has shown real enthusiasm for motorcycles and most of the activities related to two-wheel riding: off-road, speed tracks and, naturally, traveling as well. Today, this relationship with motorcycles is as strong as ever, and keeps growing. Artem describes his current position as a Country Manager for Portugal as an ideal way to stay involved with his passions: "Hertz Ride is a company I identify myself with, a perfect match for my interests: motorcycles, adventures, and exploring new roads and places everywhere. I'm a proud member of a highly skilled and professional team, and we work as hard as possible to make a difference in this continuously growing and competitive market"."

"Born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal, Bruno have been travelling on a motorcycle since he was 16 years old, when he went for the first time to a motorcycle rally at Cabo da Roca, the most western point of continental Europe. Bruno has made several trips and attended different international motorcycle meetings. Like a true bike lover, he has had different motorcycle models throughout his life as a rider, from the iconic Vespa to the exceptional BMW 1250 GS. His first bike is unforgettable, though: the classic Portuguese brand, Casal Boss, which his father and him together rebuilt. At Hertz Ride, Bruno has found the ideal environment to develop his work and skills around some of his greatest passions: BMW motorcycles and helping people experience the joy of exploring the roads on two wheels."

"With a passionate motorcyclist father and a mini cross bike waiting for him in the garage at the tender age of 7, Carlo could not remain indifferent to the charm of motorcycles. His enthusiasm and curiosity took care of the rest. Over the years, Carlo wanted to try everything related to bikes, as a professional racer or simply as a pure passionate rider. He was involved in motocross, trial, circuit races, rally raids, and hard enduro, and he still practices the latter as an amateur. He has always owned touring bikes with which he has traveled around Italy and throughout, always in the company of good friends, Europe. He grew up professionally in the car rental industry, assuming various commercial and operational roles in Hertz Rent-a-Car until he joined Hertz Ride a few years ago. Carlo is now able to combine his passion for the motorcycle world with his well-developed professional skills, and he couldn't be happier about it."

"Born in Santiago de Compostela, soon moved to Barcelona, where I was raised. Although I’ve studied to be a lawyer, I’ve been always in touch with motorcycles, working on sales, accessories, and also workshops.

"Julio has always been in love with motorcycles and everything related to them. At Hertz Ride, he found the perfect job, as he gets to work with the bikes, travel, meet people from around the world and share his passions. After years of enjoying racetracks, enduro, trial, jet-ski, and motorcycle tours, Julio is now able to provide his clients with great motorcycles, allowing them to experience the best roads and destinations. When he is guiding a tour and showing beautiful roads to groups of fellow riders, nothing makes Julio happier than seeing their smiling faces as they share stories at the end of the day around a table with good food. He says he likes to think of himself as a "Swiss Army Knife" kind of guy who can solve any problems that may arise on the road. At the start of each tour, he feels he's meeting new clients. At the end of it, he is saying goodbye to new friends!"

Lifetime Tour: After spending over 20 years traveling in Spain, Europe, and Africa on motorcycles, it would be difficult to choose a favorite tour. If I had to choose, I'd say that any of my many trips in Africa could be a good pick.

Moto preferita: My veteran Africa Twin 750 will remain my heart favorite, but the one I have had the most experiences with in competitions has been is the KTM 450 Rally Factory previously owned by Toby Price (2018).

"Everyone in the bike world knows Luis as "Garcy", and in racing circles, he is called "Garcy the African" because of his knowledge of the desert. His whole life has revolved around motorcycles, more specifically enduro competitions, motocross and road tracks. He is currently competing in rallies in Spain and abroad. His first trip to Morocco was in 1996. Since then, Luis has been dedicated to organizing and guiding motorcycle trips in that charming and mysterious country. He has been there countless times, considering all the tours as a guide, the off-road races, plus scouting and training trips. It would be fair to say Morocco already feels like a home away from home to him! In his free time, Luis is always thinking of different routes, new places, and unique destinations. As he says, "it feels like my head always has a map on, and I'm constantly visualizing new adventures while I'm looking at it". Thanks to his extensive experience guiding tours, Luis can now confidently help clients and friends organize their motorcycle travel experiences, and this makes him increasingly proud of his work."

"Rafael loves riding a motorcycle, regardless of the destination. For him, enjoying the journey is what truly matters. We could say he is a dreamer and an adventurer, always looking for new challenges every time he sets off to explore near and far away routes. Born in Spain, he came to France on a motorcycle a few years ago looking for a dream, and he found it when he joined the Hertz Ride family. He can now share his travel experiences with people looking for new destinations and challenges. In his own words, “I'm fortunate to have been able to travel throughout Spain, Morocco, Mauritania, Western Sahara, Senegal, and a large part of Europe on a motorcycle. It is always a real pleasure to meet with motorcycle enthusiasts and share with them all my stories and experiences from the road."
