If you’re reading this and didn’t come on the tour

then you missed a treat!

“Dear John & Jen, hope you are both well, just a short email to say a very

big thank you. It is very difficult to express my gratitude to you both for

a fantastic few days. The whole trip was superb, from our first meeting

at the ferry to our departure (which came too soon). Before booking

with you I read through the testimonials from previous tours and

I can now confirm what your previous customers say FANTASTIC.

It was our first time with Bike Normandy but it certainly will not be

our last. The whole trip (Rouen Armada) was so professionally organised

and coupled with your fantastic hospitality was a joy from start

to finish. I feel it also worth mentioning the rest of the people

on the tour who were a delight to ride with, it so much

reminded me of the old saying 'There are no strangers, just friends

you are yet to meet' they truly were a great bunch...

Many thanks and look forward to seeing you both on our next visit.”

“Rochdale”  AKA Tom & Peter  AKA Mel Gibson  

“Thank you ever so much again for a really superb break –

a really balanced experience - superbly planned, excellently executed

and fantastic value for money - please put my name down for the next Armada in

2013 - however, I look forward to seeing you again many times before then.”
