Our experience was wonderful. Our tour guide Leslie was excellent and very knowledgable and attentive to everyone. Our driver Paul was great. Scotland was a magical experience for us. Thanks to your team for this wonderful tour. Most sincerely, Scott Lammie

Great tour and well paced. Saw and experienced sights we would not have seen if I was driving around in a hire car. Tour leader Giovanni Braida was excellent along with his driver Ryan. Touring in a Small group is also so much better that a bus with 40 off people. This is our second 'Backroads' tour and would not hesitate doing more.
Helen B. | Traveled in May
An excellent tour of some of the most famous and scenic areas of Scotland. An amazing team of the Tour Director and Driver kept us safe and informed of all the major attractions while touring. Loved every moment.

Paul our tour guide and Angela our driver were amazing, very friendly knowledgeable and accommodating Being in a smaller bus means being able to visit lots of villages in the country side and also a max of 18 passengers makes it very comfortable Would highly recommend Back Roads
Susan H. | Traveled in May
Good itinerary as it covers a broad area of Scotland. Starting point hotel was not central to Edinburgh - would have been preferable to be near the Royal mile .
Jewelynn M. | Traveled in May
It was very well planned and covered so much. We were thrilled that we were able to see the highlands as well as the cities and small villages. I would have liked a little more down time like we had on our Italian Trafalgar trip, but then perhaps we wouldn’t have been able to see everything that we were supposed to see and cover so much territory.
