Escorted Motorhome Tours

[Guest Don Madge]

After chatting to Ray Monteith-Smith (MMM Travel Consultant for Morocco) in Malaga by Skype I did some research on escorted motorhome tours to Morocco. GB Privilege are running a 11 day tour of Morocco in May on behalf of the Motorcaravanners Club and charging almost £2500 for two people. This does include the channel crossing as well. Ray M-S runs a 17 day tour of Morocco for less than half of GB Privileges price. Ray is also the leader/guide for the GB Privilege tours. I've looked at the GB Privilege site and they claim to have run tours on behalf of MMM and Which Motorcaravan. I don't recall these tours at all. They are also running a 20 day tour to Greece from 26th March 2006 until the 14th April. at £1600 for two people it's better value than their Moroccan trip. On their itinerary they state they are using the Camper Deck option on the Venice to Patras sailing on the 30th March, Usually the camper deck option does not start until 1st April. I'm sure they would not have overlooked that, I can only assume they have come to some arrangement with the ferry company. Has anybody used GB Privileges or any other company's services in the past If so, what did you think of the tour By the way I'm not on commission from Ray. I just hate to see people ripped off. Don

hello don is this the same person who is running a tour to morocco in june/july this year with motorhome facts .. i think it was around £600 but could be mistaken. it was an add on to a rally for a fiesta in spain. it seemed really good value for money ..i think paul hadcliffe got the last place after putting a post on here. i agree that gb prices are high but perhaps newer m/homers to morocco might think it worth paying for peace of mind on a first trip? we are considering morocco for next winter but noted your post on the closure of a site and the huge no of vans there. has it become so popular because spain is expensive and wild camping is being curtailed ? kind regards berti
