| 'There
is not such thing as bad publicity' - or so they say!
It appears that there are many
hundreds of lines written about Back-Roads Touring Co. Ltd every
year in media across the globe, from Argentina (believe it or
not!) to Zimbabwe (again, believe it or not!).
In this section we re-print a
few of the more unusual or interesting, or give you the reference
details so that you can find the specific copy yourself if you
should so wish.
If you come across a reference to Back-Roads Touring Co. Ltd
in a publication that you're reading (or hear about us on radio
or TV), we'd love you to let us know so we can add this to our
'clippings file'.

"Late last year I
booked a four-day tour of France with Back-Roads Touring Co. ... but when I arrived in
London I was surprised to learn from the principle of the company that I was the only
passenger on my tour... I was amazed when he said that 'of course' the firm would
honour the booking and continue with the tour. It was a fascinating experience as my
driver/guide tailored the tour to suit my personal interests. I'd recommend this
company to anyone." Zena Shearwood, Willoughby. |

"Back-Roads Touring
Co. has already proved to be a winner with our readers, according to the letters I
receive, so I was keen to go on one of their tours of the capital to find out why... I
have to admit that Back-Roads certainly lived up to my great expectations." |

International Travel News, December 1998 |
"On this trip,
Back-Roads brought us together with others who had widely inquiring minds, were tolerant
and socially mature and had a sense of humour. Also, with such a small group we did
not have to stand in line for much of anything. There is a value to that which is
hard to quantify." Jack Acker, Vero Beach, Florida |

intimate way to see London...With Back-Roads Touring Co. you can almost forget you are on
a tour, and convince yourself you're with a small group of friends. And the places
you go are where you'd have gone yourself had you known your way around." |
