Highlights of Britain

Tour leader Justin and bus driver Stephen were excellent. Justin knew a lot about the route we travelled, loved the interaction with the tour group. I felt safe in the bus, great driving. The places we visited were good. The accommodation was mixed quality, The Mulberry Inn was fantastic. The one in Mickleton, The Three Ways Hotel was poor, bed uncomfy, room shabby, and tiny. The Churchill was average, tiny room next to front of complex where guests were drinking in courtyard making sleep difficult.

I would highly recommend this the guide, driver And destinations were first class our coach was able to get us places that no larger tour could get near and we definitely be travelling with this company again.

Great itinerary, excellent tour guide who managed the tour group well.

Very good guide and driver. Very informative and looked after us. Stopped at many places of interest. Best place was in Snowdonia

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour. The tour content was excellent, the accommodation also was excellent. The Tour leader and driver could not have been more helpful. I would highly recommend a Back Roads Tour to my family and friends.

As Dr Suess would say "Oh, the people you meet and the places you go" We enjoyed the whole experience of our Back Roads tour of Highights of Britain. Our guide Darren was extremely knowledgeable with the history and local knowledge. We loved the way we could go off wandering but he would always know where to find us. We would highly recommend this tour.

Would go on a Blue-Roads again & again & again!!! Guide full of historical & all round information. Excellent driver & saw a lot in a short time.

Fantastic tour, great tour guide with knowledge, personality and a sense of humour. Lovely places visited.

Great driver/guide and accommodation. Good excursions and tour information.

The tour was excellent, our tour guide Daz made the trip a special one, his knowledge and enthusiasm for the journey was amazing, he brought the whole group together as one. Vince the driver was great as well. We will definitely be returning one day, and recommending the company to our friends.

The tour was scenic and interesting. I would have preferred to tour with a mixed aged group which included younger adults. My group was mainly elderly folks 60+, retired, with limited mobility. Please don't use age as a primary placement factor.

It was the best experience l have had, Ben was full of knowledge & was an amazing guide, Dimitri interest on our entertainment, he was a fantastic driver. I felt sorry for him at the Churchill hotel, the backing camera was not working. Every place we went , will be beautiful memories. I have told everyone about my experience with Back Roads. Kind regards Arlene Mills

Best organised holiday ever. Well planned and excellent guide and driver. First time with Back roads but won’t be the last. Excellent choice of hotels along the way as well.

Great guide...Ben.

TED and Vince were amazing. There was a passenger who complained and who whinged the whole trip. Everything was done to help her, but it got to the point, we were thinking of leaving the tour. She would move from front seat, and as I do suffer from motion sickness this impacted me greatly. It was clesr fr po m her actshe did not, just wanted the best view. Because she would not move I was unable to sit with my husband. Not my idea of a great holiday. Ted and Vince tried everything to appease her. Nothing worked. She demanded and if not her way, sulked. She ruined a lot of the trip. Again Ted and Vince went above and beyond. ALANS hotel in Snowdinia is amazing. The Cotswold food terribly cold and no flavour. Storm meant the lake district was not able to go ahead, but safety first. Ted and Vince are asessts to the experience.

I enjoyed the trip and meeting some great people. I did find it a bit rushed.

Great tour. Wonderful safe driver. Tour guide not so great Accommodation average but staff always friendly and helpful

Great tour,well organised and executed with excellent accommodation for the remote locations and the back roads we travelled and the wonderful scenery we passed through

Our tour guide and bus driver worked as a team to make sure we had a cheerful and inclusive tour group. The small bus enabled us to fit down narrow country lanes and see towns and features we would not otherwise have seen, our tour guide made an effort to include a few ‘surprises’ on the way which created a sense of adventure and our highly skilled driver made it fun. Some of the accomodation was in ‘quirky’ little villages that again added an element of surprise and fun that I would never have managed on a self drive tour. We added a day in London before the tour and a day in Edinburgh after it ended and that was enough big city experience. The Villages were far more interesting

Did so weeks ago!Read my feedback submitted 26/7:25

Perfection from beginning to end. Charlie was a wonderful tour guide! He was extremely well organized, provided detailed information about each location, and even kept us entertained on the bus. Oh, and yes, he even provided fun treats along the way! We felt safe with our driver Dan, and he definitely added to a most pleasurable trip. All the stops along our journey were truly highlights of Britain.

Our tour leader Charlie was outstanding- at all times he was entertaining, informative and professional. Dan the driver was also very friendly and at all times he was a careful driver in all conditions- busy city roads or narrow country roads. The itinerary of the tour was great and we visited lots of different places with a vast array of experienced

Great small group experience with excellent host and driver

The tour was amazing. The accommodations and food were all excellent. The tour guide, Justin Walley, was the best as was his driver Dimytri. There were some problems initially with Tour Radar in setting up accommodations in London and in understanding that Blue Roads and Back Roads were the same company. A little explanation of this at the outset would have been a big help.

Excellent tour. Tour guide and driver were impeccable.

The tour was all we hoped for and more. Ed was the perfect host and an encyclopaedia on legs being able to link all the experiences within a historical framework. Made Google redundant. Simon our driver, navigated all the back roads and narrow village lanes in a manner that made us feel safe at all times - no mean feet. Accommodation along the was great with a mixture of history, comfort and modern amenities - each offered something different.

Had a great time Ben was very knowledgeable and Paul’s driving was great

What a wonderful experience. Tony was an amazing tour guide with a wealth of knowledge. Accommodation was great and places visited were off the beaten track. Always felt safe with driver Ash. Will be doing a Blue-Roads tour again very soon.

Very organised, friendly, the tour guide Ben extremely knowledgeable. The coach driver, Paul, professional & competent. Our accommodation, meals were good. All our tours were on time and informative. We had an enjoyable 10 days travelling in a clean, comfortable coach.

Interesting ,covered most areas we wanted to see.no stress good size group and learned heaps from our knowledgeable guide.
