- JGJennifer· October 24th, 2024I 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.Show more
Trip date: September 2024 - JSJanice· December 19th, 2023This tour was excellent. Derek was a very entertaining tour guide & our driver had a great sense of humour. I highly recommend travelling with Tour Rad.Trip date: December 2023
Kim· June 4th, 2023What a great tour of beautiful locations in southern England! We made several "extra" stops that we did not expect, and each one was better than the last. Our guide, Nic, displays almost encyclopedic knowledge of the history of each place we passed, he also knew so much about the plants and animals common to the area. What a bonus! Our driver, Craig, was unflappable and engaging. The whole trip was such a treat!Show moreTrip date: May 2023- KSKathy· August 24th, 2019We really enjoyed the tour. The pace was excellent. We loved the sites we saw and locations we visited. We were very lucky with the weather, so that was great too. The two things I would mention for improvement are: At the Roman Baths, there were six or seven of us who would have preferred to take more time there. Instead, we were rushed through the last part of it as the rest of the group (10 people) were waiting. The other is that Tony sometimes share information with only the people who were within earshot, when others would have benefited from hearing it as well.Show moreTrip date: August 2019

- MAMargaret· June 10th, 2017The Heart of England I see a previous review and I whole heartedly agree. The best part of our trip. Felt rested and did not get tired like I did when we were sightseeing in London. Helen Pointer was absolutely amazing. She was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very hands on. She made our trip. Backroads is lucky to have her. What a amazing driver she is too. This was our first time doing this kind of trip as we usually go on our own and weren't sure if we would like a group trip. We were thrilled. The members of our trip were great, mostly Austrailians, we are Canadian and one more single Canadian. What a group. Will think back very fondly on this trip. Enjoyed everywhere we went, the food was good and liked our accommodations. Would recommend this trip and would do a Back-Roads tour again.Show moreTrip date: May 2017
- FFelicia· September 28th, 2016My husband and i took the 5 day "Heart of England" tour with Helen Pointer as our guide. I can't say enough good things about Helen. Her love for what she does shines through in everything she does. She was articulate, generous with information, great at making us a cohesive group, enthusiastic, the list goes on and on. What an asset to the company. The only bad thing that Helen did was completely spoil us for our other tours on this particular trip, because compared to Helen no one quite measured up. The boutique hotels we stayed at were charming and Helen knew just how much time we needed in each stop. It was always just the right amount of time. I wish that Backroads Touring would add their name to Trip Advisor because I had wanted to leave a glowing review there but wasn't able to. I knew nothing about Backroads Touring before we took this trip but they were the only tour company that were offering 3 days in Bath (though really it's only about 1-1/2 days in Bath since we arrive in the afternoon on day 1, spend the whole day in Bath on day 2, and then leave on the morning of the 3rd day). I like that with Backroads you don't have to worry about a darn thing. All of the entrance fees to the attractions are included in the price, along with a Welcome dinner and a Farewell dinner. Although my husband and I are not the most social of people I liked that the Welcome dinner gave us all a chance to form acquaintances and learn each other's name in a social atmosphere. Can't say enough good things about Backroads except that we'll definitely be using them again for our next trip overseas.Show moreTrip date: August 2016
