Stuck behind one of your buses, driving through the Lake District doing 30mph in a 60mph zone. There is a line of traffic behind us that makes Black Friday look like a quiet family day out.
Please try not to inconvenience other people when doing your tours. Its added 20 minutes to a 20 minute journey.
Just completed the Garden of England tour. It was well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. Our tour leader,Tony Knight was exceptional in his professionalism and interpersonal skills. He added that extra element that makes you look forward to every day.
Planning on a holiday to the UK next year and the prices are great looking forward to it
Always a warm welcome at Back Roads. It's like being part of a family.
D-DAY tour was excellent. Very good guide, interesting itinerary, timed just right. Hotel stay was pleasant. Highly recommended.
In July 2016, we did a 9-day tour with Back-Roads Touring Co, 'La Belle France'. We travelled in a new and well-maintained mini coach, maximum of 16 people, although there were only 14 of us, a good number. The tour included accommodation, some meals, and, of course, a guide.
The tour took us to Normandy, Brittany and The Loire Valley - areas that I hadn't travelled to before. And it was excellent. Our guide, Andy, was very knowledgeable and informative and he brought the history to life again in his colourful descriptions of the places we were visiting. He also, when the weather and time allowed, organised picnic lunches for us, which were most enjoyable and not on the itinerary.
This is the first time I have used this company and I would use them again, I cannot recommend them more highly.
Highlights of Britain tour in May 2019. Very enjoyable and will hopefully be back in the future for Eastern and Southern England tour. The tour is more leisurely than other tours which are more rushed.
I had the most amazing experience and met the greatest people and absolutely CANNOT complain I give all thumbs up
A great company to do an informative UK, Irish or European tour. Max 18 passengers, great small hotels, a personal service from the Tour leader and safe driver.
Good food and local Back road experiences travelling to places that the monster impersonal coaches can't get to.
Great people on the trip and they become great friends too.
Enjoy
We just finished A Scottish Journey with Back-Roads and had a blast! Our guide and driver were both exceptional. Everything went smoothly, the information presented and the stops were exactly what we were interested in. This was such an exceptional experience we are already planning our next tour with them. I highly recommend this company.
Some minor problems with new drivers but otherwise absolutely excellent. Been on 5 or 6 of their trips. Excellent choices ofhotels. Time to wander but guided. On one trip the driver actually steered the bus passed the house where I grew up and stopped(!) so I could take a photo.
