    Travel Support
    • Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written July 2025

      While our tours don't require a high fitness level, we do ask that our passengers are able to walk sporadically across an 8-hour day and climb up and down stairs for the most part unassisted. A lot of the cities and towns that you will visit have cobblestone streets and uneven surfaces as well, so this is something to be mindful of.

  • D

    Dan

    Asked on June 13th, 2024

    Are Blue Roads Touring and Back-Roads Tours really the same company? The itineraries for the Jewels of Southwest France tours in each one look alike.

    Tour Details
    • Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written June 2024

      Yes, we are the same company however for legal reasons we must trade as Blue-Roads Touring in North America. The itineraries will be the exact same.
