What our customers say
"We have thoroughly enjoyed our first guided tour. The organisation, the info and itinerary have been excellent. Giles and Linda have been great ‘hosts’ and we hope to travel with them again in the future. The Norwegian tour has been a trip of a lifetime with no stress. Thank you"Read more
"Cannot fault the Xmas rally. Great organisation and communication from Giles and Linda. Lots to join in or not as the mood takes you. Very relaxing, great fun and made memories which will be treasured."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
"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
"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
"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
"First time on an escorted tour and wasn’t sure about it at first but from the moment we met Giles and Linda we were made very welcome and that set the theme trough out the tour the campsites I thought were carefully chosen, a mixture of large campsites to small campsites by a fjord, same as the activities there was never any pressure to go with the group you could pick and choose what you wanted to do. The group was a mixture of experienced Motorhomes to complete novices everybody helped each other if needed. Linda and Giles were the perfect host always there for you…...the question at the end of the tour is would we book another tour with Linda and Giles and the answer is yes definitely."Read more
"Well where do I start? From beginning to end (and still ongoing) we have had a marvellous time on this Norwegian Adventure with Giles and Linda and the amazing group of fellow travellers ❤️We’d always wanted to do this sort of journey but were not that confident booking ourselves. Linda and Giles’s meticulous planning and organising meant we could just enjoy the breathtaking scenery and join in the events without all the worry. They are a great couple who made everyone feel welcome, you could join in with as much or as little of the trips they planned . And as for our fellow travellers ? Well we’re finding it difficult to say goodbye ….some of us have joined forces on the journey home …today from 20 we are 6 ☹️ And many of us have booked again for another trip next year…think that says it all❤️ So thank you both for making the last 5 weeks such a blast 🤗 PS The girls say thankyou for all the treats and cuddles 🐶🐶❤️"Read more
