What people love about 2-week England and France tours
- London to Barcelona
It was very good value for money considering the hotels we had. The buses were clean, however there was no internet or toilet on the buses. The mixed languages made it difficult, sometimes the guides didn’t have good English. It was very fast paced, when not on the bus. You get to see a lot on the excursions. It would have been a good idea to add a couple more days at the end to be able to enjoy Barcelona.
- London to Paris via the Channel Islands
We completed a Back Roads tour of London to Paris via The Channel Islands in July 2017 (this year). This was our second tour with Back Roads and it was excellent. The hotels were all very good, included meals also excellent and the things we did and saw were of real interest. Our tour leader/driver was a young lady named Kate, she was top class, well organised, informative and always interested in how everyone was going. Cannot speak highly enough of her or the tour.
