Italy Explorer Trips

We were incredibly lucky to have Sergio as our guide. We saw a lot, experienced a lot, learnt a lot AND laughed a lot. It covered the areas we wanted to see without clashing with big bus tours. Small group tours allow for flexibility, and ease of movement. Luckily most people are on the same 'wavelength' on tour. We have done 3 tours with Back Roads

Driver and Guide were very pleasant and knowledgeable always professional and places visited were beautiful and friendly and excellent communication and translation provided Most hotels stayed at including our previous tour Vistas Italy and Switzerland did not provide basic coffee and tea making facilities in the rooms.

We have recently completed this tour and loved it. Luca was fabulous guide. Emilio a safe and thoughtful driver. Our accomodation was generally excellent, stops for lunch at winery, almond farm and buffalo farm were highlights. This was definitely a ‘ back roads ‘ experience and we are grateful to our guide and team behind him for making our holiday memorable. Will definitely be booking Back Toads again.

I highly recommend this tour. Every stop was memorable, the accommodation was very good and I travelled with an amazing bunch of people. We were very lucky to have had Michele as our tour leader. He was very knowledgeable about the area and generously shared his knowledge with us. He was very professional and organised but so friendly at the same time. Being a solo traveller, I felt very comfortable with this group and was very confident with Michele showing us around stunning Tuscany.

The Splenders Of Sicily was an excellent tour. We loved the fact that it was a Back Roads type of tour. There is so much to see in Sicily and this tour covered so much. We liked the small size of the tour group and the day to day pace. Our tour guide Lorianna was excellent. She went above and beyond to ensure that we saw so much. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the history and geography of Sicily was outstanding. We liked the innovative way Lori used the Whatsapp application to keep the group involved by sharing pictures and stories.

Enjoyed the tour very much. Travel in the vehicle was not too much, sites we saw were very interesting, great guides at the sites we visited. Hotels were nice, had an excellent guide and driver. The size of the tour was only 6 people, which was awesome. Sicily is a beautiful country and this was a great way to see and learn about it.
