- NMNaomi· August 20th, 2024Wow! What a tour! Richard (tour leader) and Abby (driver) are possibly the the two most awesome Scot’s in the world!

- Ttinamack6056gmailcom· June 8th, 2019Just got back from the A Scottish Journey, 8 day trip and had an awesome time. Our guide Tom Mciver was wonderful with many stories to tell and a great knowledge of the local areas. Our driver Darren ??? (can't remember his surname), kept us safe at all times on the roads and was a pleasure to have on our tour. Both Tom & Darren worked extremely well together as our tour guide and driver. Hotels where we stayed at were 5* and food was fabulous. The people on our tour were also a great bunch. Well done Back Roads for a great travelling package.Show moreTrip date: May 2019

Trip date: May 2019 - MJMary· September 23rd, 2018It was a wonderful trip. Our bus driver, Steve was excellent. Tom McGiver, our tour guide gave us a full background of the history of Scotland. We wound up in the tail end of Helene, so couldn't visit Iona because ferries weren't running but had a very nice experience shopping/sightseeing in ToberMorey. Really had a good time!Show moreTrip date: September 2018
