"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
"First time away at Christmas and this Tour is perfect. Activities for all, if you want them, or just enjoy your holiday. Met a great bunch of people, had lots of laughs, great food and too much to drink - happy days👍 We’ll definitely be back some where, some day. A perfect escape"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
"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
"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
