What our customers say
"We can’t think of better people to tour in a motorhome with. Your experience and knowledge serve you and all future clients well, a great fun couple to be around!"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
"Thank you Linda and Giles, touring with you has been great fun, we learnt so much and its obvious how passionate you are about your guests having a great time."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
"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
"Our first time in a motorhome abroad. Motorhome tours made it so easy! Giles and Linda who run Motorhome tours are very organised, provided a great welcome and ensured our trip down to Spain went smoothly. The itinerary was excellent and the sites superb, making for a wonderful experience. It's been so good that we have booked for the next year's Christmas rally and the Tour of Italy. We can't recommend them enough!"Read more
"Had some anxieties about travelling abroad in our motorhome. However after reading the information about the rally and speaking with Giles, I signed up and have been very pleased with our experience. The days have flown past and having Giles and Linda organising events has made the rally more than we could have expected. Any concerns we’ve had have been resolved quickly by help from both Giles and Linda. I have no hesitation in recommending Motorhome Tours. Paula"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
