- APAlec· June 28th, 2019The tour was sensational only 10 on the tour from USA New Zealand and Australia. We all bonded really well. Our driver Juanma was delightful and an extremely competent driver. Elaine went out of her way to explain the history culture and added little known facts about each area visited. The accommodation was five star all the way.There was also enough time to do our own exploring and relaxing as the pace of the tour was just right. We can't speak more highly of the tour and would recommend it to everyone wanting an informative and relaxong holiday.Show moreTrip date: June 2019
- LLynnJones· January 17th, 2019I had booked, paid, confirmed Iberian Inspiration seven months out from the March 2019 tour date. I'd made my other travel arrangements (Many $$$$ from New Zealand) around the dates of the tour. Backroads suddenly cancelled the tour 8 weeks before the trip date. This left me with non-refundable flights & pre- and post tour accommodation, but no much anticipated 12 day tour. Because of the specific dates rebooking with another company was tricky & as it was more last minute, I am left considerably out of pocket. Would not book a shoulder season Backroads tour again!Show moreTrip date: November 2018

Asked on December 31st, 2024Please could you advise what facilities are available on the bus? Also how much space for seating? How long will be the longest amount of time sitting on the bus? This is for the Madrid to Lisbon tour in October 2025.
- Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written January 2025
We usually use Mercedes Sprinter Mini Coaches with 19 seats (excluding the driver). The lay-out of the seating is usually rows of 2 seats and 1 seat with 4 seats at the rear. Air-conditioned, with large windows for enjoying the views. There is a jump seat next to the driver. Overhead storage for small carry-on backpack or handbag. No wifi on board. No assigned seats, passengers are encouraged to swap around! Small fridge onboard for medication. On a full tour day, we are generally on the road from 9am to 5pm with the coach stopping multiple times throughout the day. Stints of driving are usually no longer than 1.5 hours but may be longer if it's a big travel day. Generally, driving time will not add up to more than three or four hours per day.
