“Hi J,J,R & H, Excellent tour, lots of new people that I hope to see on other tours. I did five days before meeting you in Dublin, then an extra day on Cobh (Cathedral) then a late lunch in Dungarvan. For me – a great tour and I was lucky with the weather. Rich & Heidi are very similar to J&J in a lot of ways – good luck to you all – thanks”

“Hi,
Thanks again for the organisation of the tour and allowing me to be a back marker. In 13 years my biking journey has really changed for the better having joined BN tours. From the person who was encouraged to do more training to now bringing together bikers after a missed marker is really a rewarding experience.
Regarding the latest tour. What a great collection of people we all got on so well. The scenery in Ireland is spectacular and we were so lucky with the weather. The WhatsApp group worked really well as everyone knows what information they need, as like me I can often forget.
The hotels and the last meal were super,
Stuart and I gave helpful feedback as we went along. It is not an easy job taking up the reins of another company but you did a great job for your first solo trip. We have already planned our next trips, yes trips we hope to have with you in the future.
Happy biking
Lynne”

“Our first tour with BN European Tours was fantastic! The booking was easy, the pre‑tour info was spot‑on, and we quickly bonded with our hosts and fellow riders on the ferry.
The 3 and 4 star hotels were comfortable and perfectly placed after long days on the bike.
Each day started around 9 a.m. and ran into the afternoon, with plenty of breaks and great scenic stops. The second‑man drop‑off system worked brilliantly, letting everyone ride at their own pace while still feeling part of the group.Overall, an amazing experience with great company — we’re already excited for the next adventure”
“What a lovely week we had with Heidi & Rich our tour hosts. Our week was very well organised, fantastic hotels, beautiful countryside and wonderful company. For Steve & I it was our first motorbike group tour and we absolutely loved it. This tour is not just for people who ride their own bikes but is also good for pillions as well. Absolutely brilliant, we couldn’t have asked for more. Looking forward to next year when we shall be booking with BN European Tours again!”

“Hi John, Jen, Rich & Heidi,
We loved this tour! It was an introduction to touring for us and we really enjoyed the whole experience. The balance of city and fabulous big roads and scenery was great and a slower day mid week worked really well for us. The hotel quality was great and the two group meals worked well while also allowing for a little time to explore each place we stayed in. The back marker system worked really well too in keeping us together. We enjoyed everyone’s company! I think I came back a better rider and we would definitely travel with you again, thank you for a really great trip!
PS. the Testimonial is brilliant!”

“Having read the other testimonials from the others I can whole heartedly agree with them all. So rather than repeat what’s already been said, I’d like to thank each and every one of the once total strangers I had the pleasure in making their acquaintance. The whole gang were easy to get along with, good fun and I felt we created a natural camaraderie throughout the tour. Cheers guys.
Finally, I like to thank our illustrious leaders Heidi & Rich . HAIL! and also Lynne for looking after the stragglers. Good luck to H & R for the future and hope to meet all my new found friends again soon.”

Kelvin and Jill – in the car
“Just to say thank you for allowing Jill and I to use a car instead of a bike.
I think we ‘did okay’ supporting the team and everyone was fully understanding about why we were not riding.
I’m sure you expect the next comment… Rich and Heidi were brilliant with us. At no stage were we made to feel anything other than part of the team.”
