What our customers say
"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
"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
"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 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
"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
"I wasn’t to sure about coming here solo but Giles and Linda put me at ease , I’ve enjoyed it so much I’ve booked for the following year to guarantee a place look forward to seeing Giles and Linda and all again"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.
