Hi All,

Looking to organise a Birthday Tour for the missus next year and was wondering if anyone on the Forum had used this company in the past?

Had a look and at first glance looks good until you see the prices and what they actually do.
This might just be ones I looked at for instance the NC500 trip starting in Inverness over 6 days is £1600 for 2 people.
By the looks of it the company books the hotels and tells you what roads to use and then you are left to it, they don't take you on a tour.

Thanks for the input Nictrix. Yes, I agree it does seem a bit steep. will have to do some homework and see if it can be done any cheaper by trawling the internet. However, this way does take a lot of the leg work out of the research. But was wondering if anyone had booked with them and whether the experience was a positive one. :thumbsup:
 
Considering I did the NC500 from door to door in Sussex for around £700, of which £400 was fuel that is expensive.

Ok was only 4 nights but we stayed in some nice hotels.

Think the cost saving would be worth the legwork.
 
I went with them to the BMW Festival in Munich in 2016. They were very good, and flexible as I couldn't do the full trip. The hotel chosen was excellent, and the people who had done the full trip were very happy.
As others say, you can do it cheaper if you plan and book everything yourself. If you don't have the time or confidence to do it yourself then you should expect to pay a premium for someone to do it for you, plus ensure everything is ABTA covered.
