Testimonial Rhine in Flames August 2022

“”We’ve just arrived back from our second ‘Rhine in Flames’ tour with BN European tours. It was hot, and the Rhine was low, but the tour was yet again everything we could have hoped for. Great roads, hotels, fireworks, and fabulous touring companions. It never fails to amaze us how well the tours are run and were reminded of how great it is to have the van for our panniers. Once again, thank you Jen and John!!”

“Hi Jen and John, back home and feeling anti climax holiday blues! Have to say roads (a lot of which we had never been on), hotels and especially the company were fabulous. Rhine in flames was a night to remember, thank you both so much. Take care & hope to see you at the show. Best wishes”

“Just returned from the Rhine In Flames tour. Our first experience and we will definitely do another tour with Jen & John. What an absolutely amazing, fun couple. The tour was very well organised with some great roads, fabulous hotels and wonderful scenery. I was very nervous as I’ve not done much group riding or riding out of my area of the UK let alone abroad. Everyone on the tour were fabulous and extremely encouraging. I’ve gained more confidence in my riding and some wonderful friendships. We didn’t want it to end. We would 100% recommend this company.”

“Hi John & Jen, yet another enjoyable tour to add to our catalogue even though we’ve done it before. The roads overall were a good selection of different types and there will obviously be the necessary motorway sections that can’t be avoided. No complaints from us.

The first hotel in Belgium was probably our favourite as the rooms were great and the evening with a lovely meal was exceptionally enjoyable, one of those that you can’t falsely create, they just happen.

The Boppard hotel was also very good, a room with balcony a bonus and their schnitzel was excellent. Enjoyed the ride-out and destination, in hindsight I should have asked to give up the back marking for that day to perhaps allow me to ride at my own speed on a day without my faithful pillion!

The fireworks were very good & the room at the Monschau hotel again was very good…(I’m editing the bit about Ken’s underpants!!!) Once again, Sue and I had a very enjoyable tour with you and all the guests and we won’t hesitate to attempt to come on another even though you are sick and tired of seeing our faces year after year and putting up with the miserable old goat that I am!

Thanks for all the effort you both put in to these tours, keep on doing what you do because it works for Sue and I.”

We ALWAYS regroup before & after any stretch of motorway

“Kath and I love the Rhine in Flames tour so much we have done it twice! It’s one of our very favourite European tours. It has all the great elements of a BN Tour, breath-taking routes, quality hotels in select locations with food and entertainment. Our evening cruise along the Rhine including a three-course meal, culminating with a firework display in Koblenz is excellent.

Attention to detail is plain to see on any BN Tour with opportunities to relax and do your own thing. Whether you’re new to touring or an experienced rider in Europe you are in safe hands.

We have toured with BN Tours for 12 years and look forward to our next adventure.”

“Dear John and Jen, thank you for yet another wonderful week. The organisation, the roads, the views, the hotels, the food and even the weather were all fantastic as were a great bunch of fellow riders & pillions. You think of everything and go the extra mile to ensure that everyone has the best time ever. Even down to carrying water on the van so people can refill their water bottles. Nothing is too much trouble and that’s why you now have over 500 people on your leader board! So once again thank you so much for an amazing week and we hope to see you both for another tour soon. Best regards”

“We’d like to say a big thanks to all the lovely folk we met on tour for their company, we had a few good laughs along the way. John and Jen, we really enjoyed the tour and as always couldn’t fault the routes, hotels or food. Thanks for all your hard work. Hope to meet you all again on future tours.”
