SMALL GROUP SIZES
Maximum 16 passengers per tour allows for more flexibility on tour.
AUTHENTIC LOCAL EXPERIENCES
We take you to places away from the standard tourist trails. Go beyond the tourist façade to learn more about local food, crafts, history and culture.
BACK ROADS, NOT FREEWAYS
Unlike large coaches, our mini-coaches can go anywhere a car can. Travel to the smallest town squares, along hedge-rimmed country lanes and access tiny, medieval villages full of stories and character.
CULINARY ENCOUNTERS
Many of our itineraries have an included lunch or dinner at one of the region's local restaurants. We call these 'Culinary Encounters'. You'll find some of our destinations' restaurants have been selected because they offer regional specialities. Others are chosen because they are popular with the locals or have a historical story.
NO EARLY MORNING STARTS
The good news is that our tours never leave our accommodation prior to 8.30am. In fact, many departures are after 9am. After all you are on holiday!
CHARMING LOCAL ACCOMMODATION
We use quality local accommodation that reflects the character of your destination (we never stay at large chain hotels).
I-SELECT' MENU OPTIONS
With Back-Roads tours it’s all about flexibility. With any ‘included’ evening meals, we guarantee you a choice of meals from the menu. We believe to make your holiday a memorable one, it’s important to sample some of the delicious, locally produced wines, beers or ciders as part of your overall appreciation of the destination.
