Reviews from guests who toured through West Africa during April.
Anonymous | Traveled in April
Needs to be stressed that there is about 5 miles of walking per day. Many, many stairs also. Now we know what moderate means? Most everyone of middle age or older commented on the amount of stairs and walking required.
Christopher | Traveled in April
This was a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. The walks were pitched just right for my level of fitness. The guide, Juano, was helpful and knowledgeable. I love going to the Picos and this trip is the best way to see them.

This was the most incredible two weeks walking through Northern Vietnam. The trip offered the perfect balance of time in vibrant Hanoi and Sapa, while also taking us deep into the remote communities and villages of Ha Giang and the far north. Every day brought stunning scenery—endless rice terraces, dramatic mountains, and beautiful landscapes!

It was a whirlwind, but we got to see more of Japan than any other folks I've talked with who have been on other tours. There is so much more to Japan than Tokyo! Our tour guide was phenomenal. The logistics were handled expertly.
Susan J. | Traveled in April
Wonderful tour and great choices of places to see and experience. It is so nice to have a tour manager who cares and tries to accommodate everyone , while being so excited and positive about having us experience the culture and sites! We could never have planned a better tour or seen the many places in the limited time as this itinerary provided.
Carina Ro | Traveled in April
An exceptional small group tour experience. We had just 12 people in our group and it was easy going and relaxing, not having to plan anything or worry about driving with a lot of different experiences included, driving scenic country rods, carefully chosen boutique hotels in great locations and a balance of organised and down (your own) time. All facilitated by our excellent and knowledgeable tour guide, Andreas, who gave us a great overview of life in Europe, not just Spain and Portugal. My second Backroads tour. Highly recommended for people like us who don’t like tours 🙃😁!
