Explore the mysterious medieval town of Volterra
Unlock the secrets of Tuscan cuisine with a cooking class set amongst the romantic Chianti region
Indulge in a delectable cheese and wine tasting at a local shop in Pienza
Picture a place where each sun-dappled street leads to a new and surprising discovery. Where golden-lit towns burst with medieval treasures, and sheer, rugged coasts send shivers down your spine. A soft breeze whispers through a neat row of olive trees, and a gently simmering ragù fills the air at every turn. This is more than a tour of Tuscany; it’s an invitation to experience Italy with all your senses.
Back Roads Tuscan Treats was an amazing trip. We stayed in some beautiful towns such as Lucca & Pienza. Our guide Francesca was wonderful, very friendly and organised. Thank you Back Roads
This tour matched my own work up on all there was to see in Tuscany with a few special visits to local family owned enterprises. There were many “back roads” driven and the tour leader kept the tour energised and informed - thanks Francesca :). The use of local guides to provide specialised knowledge was carefully balanced with free time to goof off Italian style and absorb the culture.
Helio the tour guide was amazing guide, friendly, caring and lots of knowledge and went above and beyond for all of us. Lots of fun had especially cooking class..
A well organised and enjoyable tour.
I really enjoyed everything about this trip. Our bus drivers, our guide Silvia. Hotels were really good. Experiences were great. Would like to have more lunches included.
Fabulous tour with wonderful leader Silvia. Great company of fellow tourists. Saw great things and tasted delicious food. Participated in a cooking class This is my third Back Roads tour. Such a great company
Wonderful experience although we kn ew Tuscany well we saw things in a completely new light. Beatrice our guide was exceptional especially when a strike disrupted the plans of some of our group; she made sure that alternate arrangements were made. Cannot speak more highly of Beatrice and driver Romulus would recommend to anyone
Excellent tour; wonderful , brilliant tour guide. Very understanding and accomodating of slow tourers with some movement issues. Driver also excellent and helpful.
Fantastic tour, came up to our expectations. Tour guide was excellent however more could have been done by company to back him up. For example not enough planned rest stops between stopovers. This is a job for the organizers, not the tour guide.
Tuscan treats was a tour beyond our expectations. Our tour leader Caterina was so knowledgeable, well planned, humorous and went out of her way on several occasions to make our time together memorable. We loved every minute.
Excellent tour Sylvia and Romulus went above and beyond and made this an amazing experience for my family we loved them so much and would recommend them.
Hi, Our group leader Catarina was excellent. Our Driver Romulus was a very careful driver. I would have appreciated an introductory E Mail from Catarina introducing herself a week before and that she is looking forward to meeting us. Trafalgar do this . Just confirms all is still on track for our Backyards Tour. On the last day there was no need to stop at Grassina as we were only 40 minutes from Florence. Grassina has nothing to offer and most shops were closed including cafes etc. People on the tour said they would have preferred to go straight to Florence and have lunch there and continue with their travels . Was a waste of time and just filling the day up unnessarily. Hope this is helpful. Otherwise all good. Kindest Regards Keiran Columb
Tour leader Caterina was excellent Fully delivered on my expectations of back roads exloring in detail Tuscany
A truly memorable trip.We saw and experienced so much of Tuscay ,it was amazing.Our tour guide, Caterina, was also quite amazing, so knowledgeable, professional, caring, and oh so funny.A really good blend. Back Roads is the best tour group we have ever used. A small group and yes,we travelled back roads that big coaches couldn't More than happy to recommend
