We spent 89 days traveling through Europe with Fritz, our VW Westfalia. It was an amazing way to travel and we were able to see places we never would have gotten to by train or backpacking. We drove about 10,000km through Luxembourg, France, Italy, Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro, Croatia, Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany. We did have a couple of minor issues with the campervan (in a 1989 VW that's to be expected - a flat tyre, and a hose had to be replaced) but Rolf was always really helpful and responsive and reimbursed us for anything we spent on the repairs we needed to keep going. We were really impressed and pleased with the level of service we received, and the cover that was included for insurance and roadside assistance. It was a really easy stress-free way to travel and the camper was obviously well maintained and regularly serviced. By the end of our trip we were sad to say good-bye to Fritz, our faithful camper, and would highly recommend Rolf and Tour Europe to anyone who loves to travel and likes the freedom to explore without being limited to major cities and train lines.

Wow. 87 days, 19 countries, and 7000 miles in Karl, our camper van. What a way to travel. We could not have been more pleased with the service provided by Rolf and Britta. For anyone who wants to see the main and back roads of Europe from as far south as Dubrovnik, Croatia, to as far north as Tallinn, Estonia, and as far east as Amsterdam, we would suggest a VW camper van for the adventure of your life time. From our perspective, which is that of a senior citizen, 68 years old, and his co-captain of 54 years old, we could not have had a better time. There is a bond between VW campers as every time we passed another VW they would wave or give us the peace sign or a thumbs up! Should any one have any questions regarding the adventure we had you can view our blog at http://potoventures.blogspot.com. A great big thanks to Rolf and Britta for their great customer service. They said what they were going to do ahead of time, answered all our questions before we arrived, handled a couple issues during the trip to our great satisfaction, and at the end of the trip helped arrange a camp ground location in Koblenz.

The pics show us picnicing in a vinyard, enjoying the countryside as we made our way through Germany and France. The van was very reliable, starting immediately for us each and every time. There was no issue with that! We used the GPS, atlas and campground book every day, appreciating these resources! And we enjoyed keeping our luggage and other items close at hand, without having to lug them out to a hotel every night. Campgrounds and their washrooms were always well kept and clean, so we enjoyed the camping experience with our camper. We also enjoyed having the fridge and stove to keep our food and prepare light meals at lunch or dinner, instead of eating out all the time. Thanks again, Rolf, for all your support!

Hello Rolf We had a great trip we travelled around 3600km in 19
days and the camper that Sebastian supplied was excellent. He also
helped out with the train time tables that we required to get to Bruhl
which was extremely helpful. We will be in touch next time we head
to Europe.
Many Thanks

"I rented a VW Westfalia from Rolf for 8 weeks and it was just
a fantastic way to travel. If you enjoy driving, which I really do,
it's a great way to see the country as you drive through it. I covered
about 5000km over 8 weeks, going through Germany, Czech, Austria,
Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Poland and Holland. The camper
was always absolutely solid mechanically and we never had any problems
with it. It wasn't the quickest vehicle on any of the road but we
were in no rush and always got to where we wanted. The camper was
a perfect size for a couple. It had room for 4 but for 2 people it
was just right. It was set up really well and had obviously been well
looked after by Rolf and I would thoroughly recommend it as an excellent
way to travel through Europe. Especially if you are coming from Britain
renting saves you having to transport a camper to the mainland and
back and there's no need to worry about organising insurance or break
down assistance, both of which Rolf provides. Rolf was always really
helpful too and paid us back the full security deposit immediately
upon our arrival back in Germany. There were definitely no catches
to getting the full deposit back which was good as that was my only
real worry. Well, safe travels if you decide to drive round Europe
in a campervan. It's a fantastic way to see it!"

"My girlfriend and i are from south africa, so buying a camper
to tour europe was near impossible without all the help from tour-europe.
we got a great VW van in good condition that gave us no problems for
14000km, from germany-morrocco-england. and the welcome package was
very worthwhile. i recommend these guys, it is truly the best way
to travel :)"
