What our customers say
"Having had a recommendation we joined Motorhome Tours for the Christmas 2023 Rally. Our first experience with them and found it to be run very professionally. It has been very friendly and so much fun. We have absolutely loved every minute with a great choice of activities and visits to Valencia and Morella. Thank you Giles & Linda for your expertise and care, ensuring we all had a lovely time. And a big thanks to the group, we couldn't have wished for a nicer bunch of people😍"Read more
"A very interesting tour passing through the beautiful countryside of Spain and Portugal. We visited some of the 'must see' towns on our travels, where the guides tours included in the trip made us aware of their rich history and interesting facts. <!--more-->Giles and Linda were really good hosts, helpful and easy to get on with and made us fell welcome immediately. For us, as we are in our mid 70's and none too fit, there was rather a lot of walking involved on this tour to get to various venues. But that was probably our fault for not checking before we booked!"Read more
"If you own a motorhome and enjoy some great company and plenty of laughs while exploring the world, you must sign up for one of Giles and Linda's tours. Spending a month with them in Spain over Christmas was one of the best decisions we have made during our 12 months on the road. The rally was well organised but, just as importantly, was great fun and enabled us to hang out with an amazing group of people. Thank you Giles and Linda."Read more
"We highly recommend Motorhome Tours. From the moment we booked our tour and throughout the tour Linda & Giles were there to give help and advice if we needed it. The tour was well planned and very enjoyable. We also recommend the Christmas rally at Bonterra Resort. We have booked another tour and the 2024 rally, Our experience with Motorhome Tours has been excellent, Linda & Giles are very sociable and enthusiastic tour hosts and take great care of their customers."Read more
"We are currently enjoying our second trip with Motorhome Tours, a sensational tour of Norway. This has been a once in a lifetime experience made so much better by the superb planning and organisation from Linda and Giles. Every detail from day one has been taken care of, leaving us to simply enjoy a fabulous journey around this stunning country. More importantly, we have made great friends and laughed a lot. If you want to discover new places in your motorhome, stress free and in the company of great people, I would thoroughly recommend Motorhome Tours."Read more
"From the moment we booked our tour of Norway the service we have received from Motorhome Tours has been nothing short of 5*. From the time we met up in Folkestone to get us cross channel via a pre tour booking facility we knew we were onto a winner! Giles and Linda have made everyone on the tour very welcome and their knowledge and planning has been second to none. Campsites in stunning locations, a great atmosphere and camaraderie among the whole group plus lots of organised walks and visits to places of interest along the way which you can take or leave according to your own interests. Without doubt, we will be choosing Motorhome Tours for future holidays.... why wouldn't we? Amazing attention to detail, an easy going fun atmosphere plus none of the hassle of pre booking sites and planning routes yourself! Thank you Motorhome Tours for the most memorable and fun tour."Read more
"The best decision we ever made booking this trip! Was a little apprehensive as we have never done anything like this before, but Linda and Giles made us all very welcome from the start at the welcome meeting with wine and beer and a Goody Bag. It’s been an amazing experience from the guided tours and restaurants pre-booked to the free time to explore,amazing scenery, quizzes and street parties. We have made some friends for life and have already booked for 2024."Read more
"Friendly, knowledgable and helpful couple. I like that when you arrive on site they (on most occasions) meet you at reception and show you to your pitch. After a long drive it is most welcome. On 2023 tour of Norway the venues and sites were eclectic, with most having fabulous scenery and location for exploring. Even for overnight stops between long distance the basic sites were clean and relaxing. Travel was made simple, they give you an itinerary the night before and directions for travel to your next site, with approximate timings. Group excursions are varied with no pressure to join in if you want to do your own thing. Overall a great itinerary which I don’t think I would have put together myself, and it’s been good meeting other like minded travellers along the way."Read more
