21 – 26 August 2009

“Just to say many, many thanks for a fantastic holiday on the

World War 2 tour. Having never been abroad on the bike before

we could not have had a better couple to show us around.

The roads, hotels and food were perfect and the whole week was

very professionally done, you could tell you have spent many

hours researching the routes and all other aspects of the trip.

What did make the holiday extra special was not only your

Company but the people we met, everyone was fantastic and we

haven’t laughed so much on a holiday before. It was an

experience we will never forget and will definitely be back.

Once again many thanks to you both…from our point of view the

week was perfect as was the company and we would recommend

the trip to anyone…”

“Thanks again for a fantastic trip. It could not have been better in

any way. It was the best fun I’ve had in years”

Bike Normandy guests!

“Yet again a fantastic trip. Tour started with breakfast with

strangers and ended with dinner with friends.

Fabulous Food.

Luscious Locations.

Perfectly Planned.

Cracking Company.

The best 6 days we’ve had in ages. Can’t wait for the next one.

Great balance between time on and off the bike. Marker system

worked superbly. The circus was a bonus!” [you had to be there]

Jim & Alison Ross (BMW 1200RT)

“Thank you very much for a wonderful time on the WW2 Sights

Tour, it was superb and we haven’t stopped talking about it.

Not only have we learnt so much about the war, we have made

some lovely friends and I have learnt so much about my bike and

how to ride it, thanks to some very experienced riders.

The whole trip has been a great education and the places we visited

were of great interest. The accommodation and food were great and

the marker system was ideal in keeping the group together –

especially as I had never ridden a bike abroad before.

Your hospitality and organisation is second to none and if anyone

is thinking of booking a bike tour then we will have no hesitation

in recommending you (in fact we doubt if there could be anyone

better). If we have any criticism about the tour then it is

“WHY DID IT HAVE TO END?”

We look forward to being accosted at the NEC Bike Show again!

as we shall be booking another trip with yourselves…

With very kind regards”
