We've been to the UK a number of times over 35 years but hadn't seen much of the east side of England. We had a very good experience with Back Roads on another tour and decided to try it. We like to combine a tour and some time on our own on a trip like this. We went places and saw things we never would have seen on our own. It's always nice to have someone else take care of the details sometimes. We were pleased with the itinerary and the arrangements.
Our tour leader, Jessica, was wonderful. She was very accommodating to our needs. My wife doesn't move as fast as the group at times and Jessica made sure she didn't get left behind or left out. Our driver, Lee, was also very helpful.
We enjoyed the others on our trip. There were only 13 travelers so we had a little extra room on the coach. We were half Australians and half Americans which made for a great mix.
