We highly recommend this tour as a well-organised and well-paced way to experience the key regions of Britain, its history and culture. The small group and coach size allowed us to travel roads less taken, enjoying the small villages, countryside, cathedrals, castles and beautiful scenery. Our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, Daz and skilled driver Vince worked as a team ensuring we all had a happy, memorable trip. There was plenty of time to take photos and go exploring at stops. Accommodation was varied and comfortable and included meals were satisfying. We would definitely travel again with Blue-Roads.
Interesting stops but a bit too much on WW I.
Tour of Quarry too long & too much standing. No place for a break.
Enjoyed Normandy & Minen Gate very much.
Our tour director was awesome! He listened to us & adjusted as he could to accommodate everyone.
Loved the very small group size!
Take a one-of-a-kind trip to the ancient Roman city of Bath, enjoy a private pint-pouring masterclass at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and experience the majesty of Holyroodhouse Palace in Edinburgh. This 22-day tour of Britain and Ireland is brought to life by Local Experts, with an arsenal of immersive experiences. Visit Orkney Islands for a glimpse of Britain’s furthest northern reaches and the 1000-year-old Kirkwall Town. Visit Ireland’s medieval city of Kilkenny and it's castle. Cross England’s Salisbury Plains to prehistoric Stonehenge where a tour unlocks some of the secrets held by these 5000-year-old megaliths, while the Viking city of York charms all with its maze of narrow streets and close quarter homes.
Very professionally run, well planned, but flexible enough to allow for slight tweaks to cater for individual interests. Love the small group and ‘back roads’ concept. We were able to visit some very small, but delightful places.
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.
Well organized, relaxed tour with interesting venues and a variety of accommodation in this part of England.
We both enjoyed the tour and found the tour leader and the driver very caring, friendly and experienced with a comprehensive knowledge of the places visited as well as the smaller country roads travelled.
