Italy Explorer Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Explorer Italy tours
Carmen Je | Traveled in July
Our small group tour of Tuscany was fabulous we had a great mix of Australian and New Zealanders who all got along wonderfully. Helio, our guide was knowledgeable and had a relaxed way of organising the group and bringing them closer together. Friendships were made and continue beyond the tour. He put together a playlist for time in the coach that we all contributed too, great daily WhatsApp notifications of times and places to meet and suggestions for free time or where to go for independent meals etc. Some meals were provided, and these were good. All the hotels we stayed in were excellent, at several locations a local guide was used then some free time given. We got wine tasting, a pasta cooking class, cheese tasting and an olive oil tasting session as well as other special additions to the tour. A great way to travel stress free. We highly recommend Back Roads.

We had the most amazing tour. Chiara went above and beyond. Her organisation and preparation made the trip flawless. This is our second Backroads. Can’t recommend highly enough
Noel Bo | Traveled in July
Staying 5 nights in the one town Minori was great very relaxed & went to some out of the way places in small bus for different experiences
Anonymous | Traveled in July
This was the perfect way to see the southern Italy / Amalfi Coast, the 5 nights in Minori was a great location to return to each evening. Our visit to the Baroness and cooking class brought lots of laughs and great food to the table.

The Tuscan Treats Tour was just what we wanted- a small group which went to places we might not have found by ourselves, as well as the iconic sites. We learned so much more than if we had been in a large group or on our own, and Michele our guide was so helpful and informative.
