I loved the trip. The tour leader could improve her English. I always understood what she was trying to say but she mispronounced several words and needs to learn the Past Tense in English.

I was on a 18-day trip to Japan, and Joshua made my trip to Japan absolutely remarkable! Joshua took us beyond the touristy spots and showed us all of Japan. It felt like I had an insiders perspective which made it all so much more enjoyable. These personal experiences made my trip truly memorable, and I owe it to the insightful suggestions of Josh, not only our guide but our friend.

The Iberian Inspiration was an amazing tour, and our tour guide Chiara was amazing and went above and beyond to make the tour fun, informative and easy. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend going on a Backroads Tour to anyone.
