    Guide 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.

  • R

    Ross

    Asked on May 2nd, 2025

    What kind of rooms do you offer for families?

    Accommodation
    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten May 2025

      Unfortunately the tour operator has advised us that this tour is only available for passengers over 18 so they would be unable to accept any children on this tour.

  • M

    Martin

    Asked on February 28th, 2024

    Would like to take a tour back to London. The Enchanting Eastern England or something similar would be of interest. Prefer small group. Noticed that there was an age range to 80. My wife would be 82 and me 85 at the time of the tour. We are in good health and are mobile. Do you have anything starting on that date or within a day or two?

    Tour Details
    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten February 2024

      We do have an Enchanting Eastern England tour that runs from the 26th of May until the 4th of June 2024. Would this interest you at all? You do fall into our rough age demographics as well so that is great!

  • J

    Jon

    Asked on February 23rd, 2024

    Interested in the Edinburgh to London tour but wondering if your travel coaches have toilets - please advise.

    Transport
    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten February 2024

      As we travel in mini coaches we don't have a toilet on board. Your driver and trip leader will ensure there are frequent stops for passengers to use the toilet.
