The GB Privilege concept of a company to specialise in motorhome tours for the more discerning owner was conceived in 1994. The two company directors are Bob Thornton and Andrew Kingsmill. Bob has had over 25 years experience in the motorhome industry selling components to manufacturers throughout Europe, while Andrew has had over 25 years experience in traditional tourism. We decided to combine our expertise by offering high quality tours to European and British motorhome owners. The success of this venture can be seen from the press quotes which follow:

"a once in a lifetime touring experience"
Motor Caravan Magazine
"impossible to describe the beauty of our location"
MMM
"Normandy cider, Calvados and red wine flowed freely"
Motor Caravan Magazine
"and boy they do deliver"
Motor Caravan Magazine
"some of the finest culinary delights north of the border"
MMM
"the most exclusive tour of Scotland motorcaravanners can possibly buy"

Despite the changes that are taking place within GB Privilege, we have maintained our basic, original idea that one of the joys of owning a motorhome is the ability to simply 'get up and go'. To drift at your own pace to areas you have not visited before. Often, however, it is easy to miss at least one place of interest because you simply didn't know it was there.

There are other occasions when we miss having some company - the friendly camaraderie that exists between motorhomers, the 'quick drinks' that seem to last all evening and the shared barbecues that can be the start of lifelong friendships.

When we formed GB Privilege we decided, therefore, that although our tours would be well organised, we would allow lots of time for each individual to 'be themselves'. You have the option of travelling alone if you wish, or with a particular friend, but our tour director is always available if you would rather travel with a group on any particular day. We try to include some local attractions in each itinerary and on free days our tour director can usually tell you of some other interesting places to visit.

Most of our existing customers comment on the quality of the food on our tours. Many of our meals are in the 'deluxe' category and should not be confused with standard 'Steak House' fare. When we talk of 'a dinner' we usually mean 4 courses, preceded by an aperitif and including good quality wine (not just one glass!). Whenever possible we include local specialities. Occasionally we even go beyond that level to fabulous banquets in exquisite settings.

These functions are normally the preserve of diplomats, captains of industry and even royalty. Most ladies enjoy the opportunity to put on their make-up and a nice dress for a very special evening out. This level of top quality function enables them to do that, while also clearly defining our tours as being for those who enjoy the motorhome lifestyle - but with a touch of luxury.

Although many of our tours include such magnificent events, we do not lose sight of the basic necessities of motorhome life. We use the best campsites which are available in each area we visit, we include electric hook-ups whenever possible, we provide detailed route instructions (laminated, to ensure they survive the whole tour), we tell everybody what they will need in the way of electrical adaptors and we even include a travelling, qualified, service engineer on some tours.

On top of all this, our tour director is always available to ensure the smooth running of the tour and to lead you to your next location, if you wish. Many people go on several of our tours each year and we will continue to reward them by offering a 5% discount on all tours after the first that they book. The discount will always be applied to the most expensive of the tours, but it cannot be applied retrospectively. So if a tour has been completed we cannot offer a discount against it.

We like to think we offer the best of both worlds; organised tours with some fabulous events, but including a large element of freedom to do as you please. One of our customers coined the phrase
'Organised not Regimented' when referring to our tours - we think this sums them up very well.

We also organise tours on behalf of selected companies and organisations in the motorhome industry. Some of
these are available to club members only, but others are available to everybody.
