Itinerary / Route
Day 1 – 4
Arrive in Delft, Netherlands – This beautiful and picturesque city is our first stop on this tour of The Netherlands. Delft is famous for its distinctive blue pottery. The Royal Delft factory is the only one remaining of the 32 that were established in the 17th Century. Delft is also home to the 17th Century painter Johannes Vermeer, the Vermeer Centre shows reproductions of all his paintings and details his life and how he worked.
Lovely walks through the old city by the canals, churches and courtyards make for a relaxing time visiting Delft. The Renaissance Style City Hall built in 1620 stands tall and grand in the city and definitely worth a visit especially as part of it is now a pub!
The Delft Factory offer a tour and a separate Craft Workshop where you paint your own Delft Tile.
One of the best ways to see the city is to take a boat trip on the canal. The enthusiastic guides will tell you all about the history of this beautiful old city.
Included Welcome Drinks, Delft Craft Workshop (Paint your Delft Tile) Boat Trip and Group Meal
Day 4 – 7
Travel to Amsterdam (55 miles) stopping at the spectacular gardens at Keukenhof on the way. Keukenhof (30 miles) where we shall park our motorhomes and visit this stunning world famous flower park. Here we shall be rewarded with 79 acres and 7 million flowers which is a truly spectacular sight. Take time to sit and and absorb the beauty of these magnificent gardens. The gardens are dog friendly! We then travel to our campsite in Amsterdam (25 miles) here you will find many attractions to explore including The Van Gogh Museum, The Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House, Canal Cruises, Heineken Brewery, Red Light District and sampling the unusual cakes at the coffee shops!
The canal cruises offer the best viewing of the stunning buildings set along the waterways.
Included Keukenhof Gardens, Boat Trip, Brewery Tour, Anne Frank House Visit and Group Meal
Day 7 – 9
Travel to Gronigen (115 miles) which is an authentic, unspoilt and lively city in northern Netherlands away from the main tourist areas. A great area of beauty for cycling where much of the land has been reclaimed from the sea flooding with the use of barriers. The Grote Markt is home to the 500 year old Martinitoren (Martini Tower) which stands 97 metres high but was nearly destroyed by severe thunder and lightning. The climb to the top will reward you with amazing far reaching views.
Gronigen also has a Maritime Museum and The Gronigen Museum housing ceramics and contemporary and modern art.
Included Cycle Ride, Museum Visit and Group Meal.
Day 9 – 11
Travel to Gouda (145 miles) our last stop is the wonderful city of Gouda. The city is famous for its cheese but there is much more to this city than its namesake ‘cheese’. With a working windmill (De Roode Leeuw), a market square, beautiful historic buildings and stately houses and of course canals Gouda is a lovely city to explore.
There is, unsurprisingly, a cheese museum. The Goudse Waag museum was for hundreds of years used as a weighing station for cheese before evolving into what you see today. Cheese tasting and guided tours will be available.
Included Cheese Museum and Farewell Group Meal & Drinks
What our customers say
"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
"My first experience with motorhome tours Giles and Linda were excellent hosts. As a solo traveller I was a bit nervous but I was made to feel very welcome. Gained a lot of knowledge as I am new to the camping in a van life. I had a blast will be coming again."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
"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
"From the moment we booked our tour of Norway the service we have received from Motorhome Tours has been nothing short of 5*. From the time we met up in Folkestone to get us cross channel via a pre tour booking facility we knew we were onto a winner! Giles and Linda have made everyone on the tour very welcome and their knowledge and planning has been second to none. Campsites in stunning locations, a great atmosphere and camaraderie among the whole group plus lots of organised walks and visits to places of interest along the way which you can take or leave according to your own interests. Without doubt, we will be choosing Motorhome Tours for future holidays.... why wouldn't we? Amazing attention to detail, an easy going fun atmosphere plus none of the hassle of pre booking sites and planning routes yourself! Thank you Motorhome Tours for the most memorable and fun tour."Read more
"We would highly recommend joining Linda and Giles on a tour with their years of motorhome experience in Europe, a great fun couple full of energy for life…"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
