"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.

"Very passionate about all things motorhome related and with years of experience behind them we have always respected and tapped into this to make the most of our motorhome."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
"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
"Just enjoyed a wonderful tour of Norway with Giles & Linda. They both worked tirelessly to ensure we all had the very best experience from our time in this great country. A good mixture of activities to be enjoyed if we so wished and always helpful if we needed a bit more info about certain places. Thank you both xx "Read more
"We would definitely recommend Motorhome tours for any escorted trips. Our hosts Giles and Linda are passionate about the service they provide and always go the extra mile to ensure your time away is as enjoyable as can be. We joined them on their recent Norway adventure where we had a fantastic 40 night experience. The routes were well planned together with quality campsites in great locations. Additional ideas for daily trips were provided via the Lyfshort app which they use so we were all connected and kept updated on activities or changes. We were free to do our own thing or join in with a group walks or drinks. We will definitely join Giles and Linda on another adventure soon and wish them well for their upcoming tours."Read more
