- Jennifer· October 24th, 2024I 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.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 November 20th, 2024I'm looking for a seven day tour from London beginning on may 8, 2025. Two seniors, guided tour, multiple towns or cities.
- Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written November 2024
I would recommend the following tours we have departing from London: Corners of Cornwall for 8 days, Heart of England for 6 days, Kent: the Garden of England for 7 days. Would any of these tours interest you?

Asked on September 18th, 2023Are the Kent: Garden of England tours available for August-September 2024. Your web site says no. If they are available, HOW do I book them? I am in the US. I need to book a British Air flight soon so I need to know dates.
- Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written September 2023
We do have some dates in August and September 2024 - Sat 17 Aug Fri 23 Aug, Sat 7 Sep Fri 13 Sep (Guarantee Departure), Sat 21 Sep Fri 27 Sep. If you would like to advise us which dates suit you best and what room type you are looking for we can save a quote for you.

Traveler•Written September 2023What does "Guarantee Departure" mean? Why is it only next to 1 of 3 tours? I have to buy nonrefundable overseas plane tickets based on these dates.
- Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written September 2023
Our Guaranteed Departures are guaranteed to do ahead on the dates advertised. The trips that are non-guaranteed are because we have not hit the minimum number of passengers for the trip to go ahead on the dates provided. This means there is a chance if we don't have enough passengers, the tour can be cancelled.
