    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.

    Smashing 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.

    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten 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?

    Colleen

    Asked on September 18th, 2023

    Are 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.

      What 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 TouringOperatorWritten 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.
