We were able to see as much of Scotland as possible in just 10 days. It was difficult to explore each location for any length of time due to time constraints.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour. The tour content was excellent, the accommodation also was excellent. The Tour leader and driver could not have been more helpful. I would highly recommend a Back Roads Tour to my family and friends.

The tour consisted of so many well chosen activities packed into a short time. I was very impressed by with how much we were able to experience. Our tour guide was very much a guide, but also part of our group. She interacted with the group. like a friend. (The restaurants served beautiful meals, but the noise within some of the rooms made conversation impossible.)
