Popular Tours with Back-Roads Touring

"Superb trip, will thoroughly recommend the tour and will look forward to our next tour with your company. Giovanni was great. His nature and kindness was outstanding and he looked after us all, nothing was ever a bother - he could accommodate all requests. Thank you, thank you! I loved travelling the back roads and going to small villages. My favourite authentic local experiences were Chipping Campden - wonderful 2 nights stay and food at the Abbey Hotel - superb."

“I have travelled before on a typical large group tour. Travelling in a small group was much better. I especially liked the smaller number of 13 passengers. Having experienced the tour I appreciated staying in hotels with local décor and within the old areas of the cities we visited. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. My favourite local experience was the Flamenco Show in Seville."

"Everything was run at a leisurely pace, which allowed us to truly appreciate the scenery and the fact that we could stop along the way to take pictures when we wanted to. Yann added to the enjoyment with his humour, consideration and being there for any questions and translations. The highlight of my tour was The Chateaus, Monets' Garden - My favourite local experience was the picnic lunch, with local cheese and wines."

"After an exhausting few weeks of touring I appreciated the leisurely pace and authenticity of the Backroads tour. The driver + guide enhanced the tour- local knowledge, humour, caring and very well prepared. Excellent! Good team work. The charming accommodation and the different types of hotels gave a unique flavour to the tour- an authentic touch, often not gained when staying at larger hotels catering for the tourists. A wonderful tour, thank you!”

"I have just finished my first of three Back-Roads tours and it was absolutely awesome! I feel that because we were in a smaller bus, we were able to go to different places and in my opinion even better locations. On this tour I really got a feel for Scotland not just the usual spots and highways. There were so many wow moments...all of the Skye portion was incredible, especially the Quiraing, Old Man of Stor, Kilt Rock, the Kelpies ....They were all fabulous and our tour leader Tom was fantastic! Tom was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about Scotland. He shared his love of this country and left me loving it too! He was attentive to all of us and very respectful and kind. The group really came together with Tom as the nucleus. He also had a way of making us feel laid back and relaxed yet still keeping to a schedule. He had a great sense of humour. I am very glad to have found Back-Roads ...."
