    The tour was sensational only 10 on the tour from USA New Zealand and Australia. We all bonded really well. Our driver Juanma was delightful and an extremely competent driver. Elaine went out of her way to explain the history culture and added little known facts about each area visited. The accommodation was five star all the way.There was also enough time to do our own exploring and relaxing as the pace of the tour was just right. We can't speak more highly of the tour and would recommend it to everyone wanting an informative and relaxong holiday.

    This was my first tour with Back-Roads and it was positive overall.. It is beautiful countryside and the pace was good on average (though at times too slow and others too rushed.) Our guide kept telling us he was not allowed to act as a local guide and would send us off with a map. I would have preferred to have a local guide more often. Sometimes our guide could have used the time on the bus better to tell us about the next stop so that we knew what we were seeing. One day we had a local guide for an hour or so in the morning, and another local guide for an hour or so in the afternoon, and the rest of the day was free time with no explanation about the village we were in.

    Both the driver, Joao, and our guide, Justin, were excellent. Meals and hotels were good and the stops were all excellent. We did not receive the tiles we made in Lisbon as promised.
