The Canary Islands 20th January to 30th March 2020

Located 100km off the West African coast the

Canaries are already known by many for their

warm winter climate but are usually overlooked for

their culture and heritage interests; on this tour

you can enjoy both.

Along with all the major sights and plenty of time

for relaxation you will be escorted to places seldom

reached by others whilst enjoying the very best

European winter weather.

With an eternal spring expect blue skies and

daytime temperatures of low 20’s, evening of 15,

considerably warmer than Southern Spain.

Whilst being Spanish the islands retain a strong

individual identity with many islanders considering

themselves Canarian and only secondly Spanish.

Maintaining a duty free status, the islands are

exceptionally good value for shopping and eating

out, and with fuel well below European prices you

won’t be spending much on Diesel.

Get away from the after Christmas cold, take

yourself and your motorhome away for 70 nights

of warmth and exploration.

A mix of campsite, camper stops and private parking

is used throughout the tour requiring the use of your

motorhomes facilities on occasions. The trip will

take you to some wonderful places requiring a

confident driving approach at times and will be best

enjoyed by those with a sense of adventure & open

mind to camping.

Delightful Denmark 6th to 25th June 2020

Danish Delight—The Land of Intriguing Experiences

Jutting into the North and Baltic seas, Denmark is a beautiful land of over 400 islands with great destinations and where you are never more that 50km away from the sea. Thanks to the Danes fondness for green open areas nature will envelop you as you travel through this wonderful land. Our tour starts on the Jutland peninsula where we visit Ribe, Denmarks Oldest Town and Aarhus, its cultural centre; both of which will bring alive the Danes legendary sense for design and architecture.

The islands of Zealand and Funen are now linked to Jutland by bridges, including the 18km stretch of the Storebælt Bridges; opened in 1998 having taken 10 years to build they consist of 2 bridges and a tunnel, these are crossed as we move towards Denmark's capital.

In Copenhagen we have excursions arranged for a tour of the city and to Roskilde city for a visit to the wonderful Viking museum and a walk alongside the Baltic Sea Fjord.

We finish our tour with an amazing evening entertainment at the world famous Tivoli Gardens.

Travelling in Scandinavia at this time of year is very special, enjoying the long days that being this far north provides, with darkness not arrriving until very late in the evening.

Add all this together with some Danish pastries and you begin to understand why Denmark is an intriguing holiday destination. ‘This was our 24th tour with GB Motorhome Tours and as always, we found ourselves going to places we would never have found on our own. Our leaders Liz and Dave took good care of us all.’ Geoff and Margaret Cotton – Delightful Denmark - June 2018 ‘An excellent introduction to a new country for us with a good variety of excursions to places of interest. Liz and Dave are very attentive leaders who work hard to enhance the holiday.’ Hilary and Andrew Wilson – Delightful Denmark - June 2018

Italy Down to the Heel The South 19th June—9th July 2020


We take it leisurely & discover Italy’s South

Puglia, the southern Italy region forming the heel of Italy’s “Boot”, is known for its whitewashed hill towns, centuries old farmlands and hundres of miles of Medi-terranean coastline. Lecce known as the ‘Florence of the South’ has the baroque architecture and Alberobello is where the grey-roofed conical trulli houses are clustered together.

Cuisine plays an important role throughout Apulia and we will take the opportunity to taste the locally produced products including the olive oils, pastas, cheeses and the local wines.

Whilst in the region we visit Matera, a rocky outcrop in the vicinity of Basilicata. It included the Sassi area, a complex of cave dwellings carved into the mountain-side. Evacuated in 1952 due to poor living conditions, the Sassi now houses museums, restaurants and shops. Nearby rock churches include St. Lucia alle Malve with its 13th century frescoes.

This tour commences in Pompeii and will take you all the way to the ‘Heel’. To enjoy a leisurely trip to Pompeii our ‘Italy—Down to the Heel—The North’ tour starts on Lake Maggiore and runs down to Rome to link up with the start of this tour. Campsites throughout the south of Italy are variable so this southern tour will be best enjoyed by those with an open mind to camping

Rhine in Flames 26th June to 6th July 2020

Fireworks, Flames and Romantic Flair

Enjoy a picturesque summer getaway along the River Rhine. The highlight of this tour will be an evening cruise with supper to see the magnificent Rhine in Flames, which is the collective name given to a series of spectacular firework displays that take place each year on the River Rhine. Before that we start the tour in the charming town of Valkenburg in the Netherlands, where our campsite is next to the countries only hilltop castle, and sits above the caves and galleries created by the town’s long history of quarrying. Our drive from Holland Into Germany, takes us first to Bernkastel-Kues, nestled on the banks of the Mosel River. Here we have a vintage bus tour of the historic centre and visit a winery where we taste some of the famous wines the town is renowned for. Then we move to Rüdesheim am Rhine, an attractive town laying in the rivers gorge and renowned for its wonderful views. The narrow cobbled lanes of the Old Town, lined with wine taverns and gardens are certainly not to be missed. We have included a visit to the fascinating museum of mechanical musical instruments, and you will also see the Germania Monument and get a bird’s eye view of the vineyards that cling to the sides of the Gorge as we return to the river by cable car.

It is from Rüdesheim that we board the river cruiser where dinner will be served whilst enjoying a leisurely cruise along the river. Then we join a flotilla of illuminated riverboats to take in the spectacle of the fireworks, pyrotechnics and experience the riverbanks and landmarks as they change into a magical red glow – an unforgettable experience.

Croatian Highlights 26th August to 21st September 2020

Explore the Adriatic stunning coastline

A country of stunning natural beauty and possibly Europe’s finest coastline! Rugged limestone mountains, crystal clear water and over a thousand islands await you on this tour.

Croatia shows very few signs of its turbulent history and has found a place on the boundary between Central Europe and the Mediterranean.

We will be hugging the wonderful coastline for most of the tour and visiting many of the natural beauties that make the country so appealing. September is an ideal month to visit, when the sea is warm to swim in, the beaches are peaceful and the temperatures not too hot.

English is widely spoken and there is a very comfortable feeling whilst travelling throughout the country. We will visit many of the Croatian highlights, including Dubrovnik, Split, Trogir, Porec and Plitvice National Park.

During our tour, we will also visit Kotor & Budva in Montenegro and Mostar & Blagaj in Bosnia Herzegovina.

Sicily 15th September to 16th October 2020

Mediterranean warmth and 25 centuries of mixed rule

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and much bigger than most people realise. The Mafia and Inspector Montalbano spring to mind, whilst you’re unlikely to spot either of these, a visit to Sicily is rewarded with stunning architecture and traditions from 2,500 years of mixed Spanish, Roman, Greek, African and Italian occupation. If you’re expecting something much the same as Italy you’ll be disappointed, if you’re looking for surprises Sicily will deliver.

Our tour covers the whole island and throughout you’re never far from the sea. We stay in the islands two major cities, capital Palermo and second city Catania; see the geographical phenomenon of Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano; the nature of San Vito lo Capo peninsular, the ancient monuments at the Valley of Temples and Salinunte, the wonderful architecture in Syracuse and Cefalù, the UNESCO towns of Noto and Taormina, and the amazing mosaics of Villa Romana.

Add to this rich local cuisine, great wines, an opportunity to travel in your own motorhome

with like minded people and this tour has all the content of a great holiday.

Sue & Derek Davies Sicily—2018

‘Fantastic Tour of Sicily visiting many interesting

sites and sampling plenty of Sicilian food and

wine. Tour Directors looked after us very well,

always on hand to help if needed.’

Kath & Roy Tipping – Sicily 2018

‘This tour was a real eye-opener to travellers who

thought they knew Italy. Very different culture

from the mainland with really good local food and

wine. Many superb historical sites. Tour

Directors were excellent leaders with a very good

knowledge of the island. A thoroughly good tour

from begining to end’

Visit Christmas Markets in Bruges, Valkenburg & Aachen

There can’t be many settings more beautiful at Christmas time than Bruges, with its cobbled streets, historic buildings and horse drawn carriages plodding by. Beautiful medieval squares lit with colourful lights, pleasant shopping in the magically deco-rated streets, skating on the ice rink on the Grote Markt, or just enjoy the atmosphere in many of the restaurants and cafes with good food and hot chocolate – and this is just the start of your tour. Our next stop will be Valkenburg where we will visit one of the largest and oldest un-derground Christmas markets in Europe. You will be surprised by the lovely settings and decors, which are in full harmony with the numerous stands offering Christmas gifts and luxuries. During our stay, we will also see the Christmas Parade that takes place in the town at this time of year
