Florence Explorer Trips

Roby was great in every aspect of the tour. He went above and beyond in every way. He was knowledgeable fun supportive and kind. What an asset he is to your organization. I have recommended this tour because of how much fun and special Roby made it. My husband Steve sent a review within the timeframe required so I’m hoping it was received. Roby deserves all the credit!!!! If there was a rating higher than 10 out of 10 we would definitely give it. Steve and Gayle (Gail) Maritsch

The Tuscan Treats tour was certainly one to remember . A big thank you to Sergio who went above and beyond at every opportunity . He united our group and made our travel experience so memorable

I really enjoyed the Tuscan Treats tour with a small group of 14 - Australians, New Zealanders and three from USA. Our tour leader Sergio was fantastic - looked after us all very well and brought fun and laughter to the group. He was also very organised and arranged extra group meals if we wanted. The boutique accommodation was very good, as was our minibus driver Romulus. The itinerary was excellent, although would have liked more time in some places. We enjoyed the interesting and fun activities included. I recommend Back Roads tours.

I loved the Tuscan Treats Tour and would highly recommend it. The tour was well paced with excellent inclusions - guided tours, dinners, wine tasting, cheese tasting and a cooking class - which was one of the highlights. The ferry ride along the coast to Cinque Terre in the driving rain did not detract from the splendor of the cliff side villages. Each hotel was unique with its own history - beds were comfortable and showers hot at the end of a busy day. Roby, our Tour Leader, was brilliant - providing just enough history but also updating us on local attractions, places to eat and maps! Romulus our driver, kept us safe on the roads. Would I travel with Back roads again? Absolutely!

Great tour! Sergio was the best tour guide ever! He cared for each individual, and his example inspired us to extend good will and support to everyone else on the tour: So we quickly formed a group that looked after everyone and made sure that everyone had a good time. Romulus was a very good driver.. Tuscany is a stunning landscape.

Back Roads Tuscan Treats was an amazing trip. We stayed in some beautiful towns such as Lucca & Pienza. Our guide Francesca was wonderful, very friendly and organised. Thank you Back Roads
