Provence and the French Riviera

This was a very well planned and thought out tour. Our guide (Connie) was engaging and helpful throughout the trip. She prepared in-depth information and graphics to describe each stop in detail. Free time at some stops allowed for individual exploration, before teaming up for group activities. The food and accommodation provided was above expectation. Also, the bus was comfortable and the driver very professional. Overall, it was a fantastic small group tour and I would highly recommend it.

This was a very well organized tour with a great guide that is clearly passionate about what she does.Thank you Connie .You were very well organized .You had laminated sheets and all sorts of things to show us.I am really grateful for this and you taught me such a lot.Thank you for the lovely picnic by the Pont du Gard and for giving us a terrific commentary wherever we were.

Charming towns, so much history and an informative guide made this tour very enjoyable. The group of 15 was just right - any more would have made the bus too cramped.

This was our sixth tour with Back roads. Our Driver and Tour Guide were excellent, they certainly did their best to provide innovative rest stops. However, we feel that the hotels selected were very much sub standard compared to previous tours. If we do any future trips, we will look very closely at this aspect. The bus provided, well, it was just as well that there were only eight passengers, seating space was far too small for Western adults. There were only two seating positions on this bus that had adequate space. The rest sat sideways. Parcel shelf was only good for an umbrella.

We recently were on this tour.We found what we saw and what we did was excellent.Our Tour guide Natalie gave us lots of information and helped us at all times at places to see and restaurants to eat at in our free time.Our driver Ervins was great always happy to stop for that unplanned photo stop.This was our 6th tour since 2017.We feel that some of the hotels although great locations were a bit below the normal standard of a 3 or 4 hotel.Breakfast at one was too repetitive and selection poor for a 4 day stop.Luckily our tour had 8 people so we could spread ourselves out on the bus.I am not so sure if 18 could have fitted as leg room was not far too tight and the parcel shelf did not really fit a lot.
