MSL Picos tour 2019
MSL Picos tour 2019 - everything was very well arranged right from the start, which is refreshing. I’ve been touring for 37 years and previous companies I’ve used have varied greatly. The hotel was great, and I thought the food was great as well. Rick’s organisational skills were first class. This was not a guided tour, which suited myself and my friends. One unexpected bonus was standing outside the hotel in the evening with 70+ fellow bikers chatting about bikes. We are hoping to come back in 2020. We arranged our own tour 2 years ago and MSL’s tour was nearly half the cost of organising it ourselves. Rick was brilliant from start to finish and couldn’t do enough. Five stars. Well done.
Picos trip
Picos trip. First thing was the Brittany Ferry route, terrible!! Over 70 bike's on this trip!! Nice hotel but the food was rubbish, we all decided to eat out. The breakfast was rubbish. The so called tour leader was a waste of time.
I was with my friends and they all agreed never to book with MSL tours.

Great company, organisation and value on both of these trips in 2019. Looking forward to touring with MSL Tours in 2020!

Was a Great experience for me could only have been bettered if departure port remained as Portsmouth but fully understand & accept the move Plymouth was Brittany Ferry‘s decision and was beyond the Control of MSL
Picos tour October 2019
Recently went on the Picos tour, note I did not use MSL routes while there.
Clear information, properly organised. Rick approachable and helpful.
Tour was good value at a good hotel. I thought the food though was not very good, generally poor quality ingredients.
Tour was organised during the Colombres rally, and we went on the day of the hill climb. Rick's information on this was incomplete and not very accurate.
I would use MSL again.

They deal with all the stressful bits so you can enjoy riding.
All the arrangements were great. There were clear communications at every stage. Rick was at the ferry terminal on beforehand to ensure a smooth transition. He responded to my query very quickly. I highly recommend MSL. They deal with all the difficult things so you can enjoy riding. It is a no brainer really. I must say, the prices are very competitive as well.
Picos mountains
Very good holiday well organized lot of time spent doing this by rick recommend msl for motorcycle holidays
Picos Tour 8 2019
Excellent trip - from the moment booked to saying farewell Rick kept us updated on all things. Plenty of routes provided if needed also.
Hotel, food and comradery between other riders on tour was excellent.
Such good value, and the roads...….. superb.
Thank you Rick for an excellent trip to discover the Picos. Can't wait to go again.
Well organised ferries and hotel.
Perfect Picos Motorcycling Break
1st time Rider with MSL, But not the last.
Relaxed Format with Base Hotel avoids those boring M/Way trudges across Europe.
Rick obviously has connections On High to provide the Best Weather I have ever had in the Picos, so with connections like that, roll on 2020 Tours👍
Good Quality hotel, well positioned in Coastal Town a better option than either Potes or Cangas as a Picos base.
Coordinating with Colombres Rally an obvious timing choice.
Not sure how would manage a 90 strong Tour group on the conventional format?!
Big Hotel base in Tyrol or Dolomites perhaps?
Excellent great rides good value for…brilliant

Excellent trip nice hotel would definitely go again
Great tour well organised superb location But
Fantastic well organised tour, roads in this region second to none that I’ve ridden. Tour coincided with the Colombres Rally - Moto Club Indianos . Roads in this area are outstanding with very little traffic. Hotel was superb and well situated. The only downside for us was that Brittany Ferries changed the port from Portsmouth (1 hours ride) to Plymouth (5 hours ride) resulted in 6 of us making the decision leave a day early to ride back to Calais Rick has done a great job. I will definitely do this trio again but only once Brittany Ferries have got their act together and start running out of Portsmouth again
great tour thanks .
A great package, location one of the best
I'd find it difficult to find constructive criticism as it was great value for money and the location for motorcycles is one of the best.... The hotel food, wine was not the best but efficient and convenient/fast for the size of the group. Overall really happy with this trip. Organisation and communication really good. I'd go again.
