- James· July 9th, 2016A lot of places were visited in a short amount of time. I think the tours could be more customer friendly by beginning the tours in the afternoon or evening and ending the tours in the morning. I know they would cost more, but it would be well worth it. Beginning at 8:30 am and ending at 4:30 pm doesn't cut it. A real inconvenience to have to book a night before and after.Show more
- Kerrie· August 25th, 2025Guide was friendly, always helpful and knowledgeable. Small number was conducive to getting to know each other and convenience in going to places. Locations were interesting, the country around Yorkshire and the Peaks was outstanding.Show more
- Gino· May 15th, 2025Smashing tour to see the historic features of Scotland. Excellent opportunity to explore without the pressure of timetables and too many people. Just a small group of 12 and Ed was the best guide. Great knowledge of history and took us to amazing places. Isle of Skye and Isle of Mull the highlights. Well priced.Show more

Asked on February 5th, 2023Are you no longer offering the Essence of Austria tours at all OR are you just fully booked for 2023? If fully booked, how do we reserve for 2024 as I saw no ability to book 2024 on your web site.
Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written February 2023We are running the tour for this year when are you looking to go and I can give you the closest dates. Is this just for yourself?
