Great walk, beautiful scenery, excellent accommodation, luggage transfers went without a hitch. Electronic map made it almost impossible to get lost. English weather!
The tour was excellent. Sonny was an incredible driver, prompt, friendly and kind. Our tour guide, Callum 'Blinky' Pyper, was full of historical and local knowledge, friendly, patient and kind. Both took very good care of us. We enjoyed all the excursions as they allowed for a bit more interaction with the local cultures.

I had a very well planned and arranged trip on the East Coast to Coast from Kirkby Stephen to Robin Hood's Bay. The accommodations arranged were comfortable, friendly, and well situated along the trail. The bag transport worked very well, as did the return transfer to Kirkby Stephen where my car was waiting. The advice on dining was right on and the maps, instructions, and attractions along the way were super. Well done!

An amazing walking holiday across stunning scenery in the Lakes District. Very well supported by the team, with delightful accommodation, good maps and luggage handling. Thank you!
Superb navigation app along with well-chosen route friendlly accomodation with a particular mention to Hillingford B&B in Ramsey. All cases transferred smoothly. We added extra days in Douglas and were grateful for the room upgrade at the Ellan Vannin hotel which was quite busy. The route itself was great but the oath in need of some signage maintenance

I took part in this tour as the agenda gave a chance to visit places on my bucket list such as Oxford. I was not disappointed. The tour guide and driver were very professional and as a first time solo traveller I felt comfortable in a small group. I met and made friends on this trip and will look to doing other tours with Back Roads in the future.

We loved this tour from start to finish. It is well organized, and exceeds expectations. We signed up to see distinctive gardens but were given an incredible lesson in British culture and history as well as botany and geography. Our guide Ben Sims was a fountain of knowledge on diverse subjects add keep the daily schedule running on time.
