Spain Tours in September 2026

I had a fantastic time in the Best of the Camino tour. Great walking, good food and wine and fantastic staff, our guide Jorge and driver Santiago. I learnt so much any the history of Spain and its architecture. The hotels were also great.

Our leader was Pablo Garcia. He was very knowledgeable, skilled and had lots of patience, excellent and timely information and always made sure our needs were met. Some of the accommodation was basic, but that was okay. Breakfasts were very varied and tasty with plenty of choices. We had a great group of cyclists and Pablo kept the team spirit going. The recommendations for meals were great and we had a lot of local food/ specialty options, which was great. The itinerary was good, riding through beautiful and vast landscapes with wild life such as flamingos and white horses, small medieval villages and beautiful canals, we would have expected and liked some more roads along the beautiful coast. There was a lot of riding through flat landscape with orchards and agriculture. The equipment was good, but some of the bikes had some gear and shifting issues. The support van driver Louis, made awesome picnic lunches with fresh local foods. All in all a great trip!

Walking the Camino was a great experience, whether getting to know the other people in the group along the way or spending time on your own. The scenery, food, places & people were all great. Ester the tour leader is as good as they come, going above and beyond. Her enthusiasm and passion for what she does was a huge part of what made this tour great.

Our Iberian tour was an enjoyable, easy and fantastic way to see highlights of Spain and Portugal in a limited time. Our tour leader Patrizia was the best - she is fun, organised and super helpful to ensure everyone had the best travel experience possible. The hotels we stayed in were a very high standard and included an old convent and castle. The itinerary ensured we saw the top highlights of each town visited but there was also sufficient spare time to do your own thing. I would definitely travel with Backroads in the future..

We had a really good group, our guide and driver were exceptional. Accommodations were outstanding, and ample time for wandering on our own. Collette is the only way we travel.

We had a wonderful time on the tour. Organised sections of the tour were great with enough self time to discover the joys of each town/city we stayed Patrizia our tour leader was amazing. Full of local knowledge and caring for everyone on the trip. I have food intolerances and Patrizia ensured that I was included in all tastings and meals. A shout out to our driver Augustine who not only was a brilliant drive navigating the narrow streets but shared his local knowledge with enthusiasm. Whether travelling with family and friends or a solo traveller I highly recommend this trip.
