- Janet· October 24th, 2019Loved everything about this tour from the places we visited, the accommodation, meals and the transportation. Vincenzo, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job and our driver Giuseppe did a great job keeping us safe on the roads. This was my husband's first group tour and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The pace of the tour was good and there was plenty of time to do our own thing. We would definitely recommend Backroads Touring to everyone.Show more

Asked on July 17th, 2025Just wanting to confirm that this is rated an Easy tour - doesn't require extended period of walking. We are in our mid 70's and mobile enough but my husband can't stand for too long or walk without an occasional sit down.
Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written July 2025Many of the historic town centres we visit are mostly pedestrian-only like Syracuse inviting us to freely explore their hidden corners. For that reason, sometimes we'll need to walk 20 minutes or so to and from our minicoach's parking spot. Combined with our guided walking tours, which typically last for around two hours or more, we'd say that's the perfect excuse for an extra gelato at the end of the day!
