    Fab 10 day tour. Tour guide was organized, knowledgeable, and fun. Driver was very pleasant and a safe and cautious driver. Scenery amazing. Definitely took some back roads. Small group was so much fun!

    This was one of the best tours I've been on. I am a solo traveller and it is easy to feel left out with groups of couples but Emilie made sure I was part of the group when I wanted to be sociable, but was also happy for me to go off alone when I needed 'me time'. The small group was great (only 10) as was the mini-bus that allowed us to go into areas where a big bus could never go. Emilie was also flexible so there were unplanned stops for photos, and new places to see that weren't on the itinerary. All in all, this was a fabulous tour and I will be booking another Backroads tour again in the future.

    I had an amazing time. As a solo traveller I was a bit nervous about the tour, but the other tour guests were so welcoming and friendly. I made some wonderful friends. Terry Gibson our guide was fantastic. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Phillip, our driver was great. It was lovely when he joined our group for meals and certain activities.

    Asked on November 20th, 2024

    I would like to talk to someone about this tour. What would be the airfare?

      We unfortunately don't offer any airfares sorry so if you were needing help with this we would recommend visiting a local travel agent.

    Michelle

    Asked on October 9th, 2024

    We are already booked to go to Cornwall earlier in July but have some spare time before flying out of Heathrow and have found your tour of Wales interesting. Because we fly home from Heathrow late in the evening on 1 August we need to find out from you what time the Tour finishes in Cardiff. We think there could be a chance that we can still make it for a flight that day but need to check with you first before booking the Tour. Also, is there any discount for booking a second Tour?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten October 2024

      The Wonders of Wales tour will finish in Cardiff at roughly 2pm on the 1st of August. We have a multi tour discount which would be applicable which would take $165 NZD off per person from the second tour booked.

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      We are still in the planning stage. However, in the meantime we are now wondering where the Cornwall tour finishes in London as we will need to book a night accommodation that night. We are on the one from 15 to 22 July

    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten October 2024

      Almost all of our 2025 departures will be dropping off at the Wellington by Blue Orchid Hotel in London. We also offer post-accommodation here if you'd like us to put a quote together?

    Does that mean that I am not eligible for the Wales 7 day tour?

    Tour Details
    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten July 2024

      All our Back-Roads tours are designed principally for adults, age 18+. If you do not have any current health issues that require additional care, special facilities or pose a threat, it would be fine to book and travel with us!

    Laura

    Asked on January 31st, 2024

    Is there a single supplement charge for solo travellers?

    Single supplement
    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten January 2024

      We are able to offer single rooms on our trips, however this is due to availability. Single supplement charges do apply, these are dependent on the trip itself and the date you would like to travel on. For example, the 28th of June departure is $5,559.00 AUD for the single price where the twin share/double per person is $4,449.00 AUD.

  • V

    Victor

    Asked on November 11th, 2023

    Is there still room for 4 adults on the trip? Approximately what time does this trip end back in Cardiff on May 10, 2024? When would a deposit be required and how much? What is the cost per person in Canadian and US dollars?

    Payments
    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten November 2023

      Unfortunately, this date only has 2 single rooms and 1 twin room available. Two of you will need to be in a twin room (2 people 2 beds) and the other two will be in single rooms. All of our tours require a $200 per person deposit 7 days after holding a booking and full payment is due 60 days prior to departure.
