Florence Explorer Trips

Wonderful experience although we kn ew Tuscany well we saw things in a completely new light. Beatrice our guide was exceptional especially when a strike disrupted the plans of some of our group; she made sure that alternate arrangements were made. Cannot speak more highly of Beatrice and driver Romulus would recommend to anyone

Fantastic tour, came up to our expectations. Tour guide was excellent however more could have been done by company to back him up. For example not enough planned rest stops between stopovers. This is a job for the organizers, not the tour guide.

Tuscan treats was a tour beyond our expectations. Our tour leader Caterina was so knowledgeable, well planned, humorous and went out of her way on several occasions to make our time together memorable. We loved every minute.

Hi, Our group leader Catarina was excellent. Our Driver Romulus was a very careful driver. I would have appreciated an introductory E Mail from Catarina introducing herself a week before and that she is looking forward to meeting us. Trafalgar do this . Just confirms all is still on track for our Backyards Tour. On the last day there was no need to stop at Grassina as we were only 40 minutes from Florence. Grassina has nothing to offer and most shops were closed including cafes etc. People on the tour said they would have preferred to go straight to Florence and have lunch there and continue with their travels . Was a waste of time and just filling the day up unnessarily. Hope this is helpful. Otherwise all good. Kindest Regards Keiran Columb

A truly memorable trip.We saw and experienced so much of Tuscay ,it was amazing.Our tour guide, Caterina, was also quite amazing, so knowledgeable, professional, caring, and oh so funny.A really good blend. Back Roads is the best tour group we have ever used. A small group and yes,we travelled back roads that big coaches couldn't More than happy to recommend

My first Back Roads & will definitely look to others in the future. The selection of wonderful towns/villages demonstrated a wonderful picture of local history, culture and scenery. Luca, our guide, offered a wealth of knowledge and seamlessly adjusted our trip to optimise our experience. His care for the group and attention to ensuring the best in service at all levels was so appreciated. Food, wine and company, memorable. Thank you.
