About Back-Roads Touring
Picture a touring holiday that delves a bit deeper.
One that doesn’t simply drop by top sights and major cities, but invites you to see a destination through the eyes of the people who know it best: the locals who call it home. Where journeys are made for absorbing never-to-be-forgotten views, not darting from A to B. And each day ends in a hand-picked retreat brimming with local charm.
At Back-Roads Touring, we’ve spent over 30 years creating these kinds of small group tours. We know that the best kind of adventure is one that introduces you to local experiences and sights while providing you with the time and space to explore independently.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The sited we saw were incredible and Daz was amazing at adapting for the day's conditions and any little add on we could achieve. We had an awesome group of people, a top tour guide and the BEST time. I would recommend this tour to everybody. A great way to see the UK.
Our small group tour of Tuscany was fabulous we had a great mix of Australian and New Zealanders who all got along wonderfully. Helio, our guide was knowledgeable and had a relaxed way of organising the group and bringing them closer together. Friendships were made and continue beyond the tour. He put together a playlist for time in the coach that we all contributed too, great daily WhatsApp notifications of times and places to meet and suggestions for free time or where to go for independent meals etc. Some meals were provided, and these were good. All the hotels we stayed in were excellent, at several locations a local guide was used then some free time given. We got wine tasting, a pasta cooking class, cheese tasting and an olive oil tasting session as well as other special additions to the tour. A great way to travel stress free. We highly recommend Back Roads.
Went very well and catered to all our needs. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Staying 5 nights in the one town Minori was great very relaxed & went to some out of the way places in small bus for different experiences
This was the perfect way to see the southern Italy / Amalfi Coast, the 5 nights in Minori was a great location to return to each evening. Our visit to the Baroness and cooking class brought lots of laughs and great food to the table.
Amazing Tour leader Great bunch of participants Driver was nice eye candy :-)
The Tuscan Treats Tour was just what we wanted- a small group which went to places we might not have found by ourselves, as well as the iconic sites. We learned so much more than if we had been in a large group or on our own, and Michele our guide was so helpful and informative.
We had the most amazing tour. Chiara went above and beyond. Her organisation and preparation made the trip flawless. This is our second Backroads. Can’t recommend highly enough
We absolutely loved the tour with Back-roads, our guide Patrizia and driver Ilidio were fabulous, very accommodating and knowledgeable. We visited beautiful towns and learned about the history and culture of Portugal. The hotels were great and dinning amazing, with a good balance of organised and free time. We had a wonderful group of people on our tour and Patrizia brought us all together as a team. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Back-Roads, and will use them again in the future.
