    · October 24th, 2019
    Loved 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.

    Hi Janet, thank you for your kind words about Vincenzo and Giuseppe - you had a winning Tour Leader/Driver combination there. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the pace of the tour - it gives you time to explore cities, towns, and villages for yourself... Show more
