Very interesting, and informative tour. Beautiful scenery and historic places.
Excellent hotels, great experience all round.
So much was included in the trip eg Winchester, Corfe Castle, St Malo, Mount Saint Michel, Dinan, surprise visit to Chateau de La Motte-Husson, Chateau Maintenon and Chartres Cathedral etc Visiting Guernsey, Sark and Jersey. Highlights: the little chapel, La Hogue Bie, the war tunnels, the Guernsey tapestries,, Fougeres castle, st Matthew Lalique church, Elizabeth castle, Mont Orgueil. Absolutely fantastic
Good itinerary and smooth travel arrangements especially when we were taking ferries to the Channel Islands and to France
Visiting the Channel Islands was a highlight especially Sark.
Excellent tour guide, excellent driver, comprehensive itinerary.
Zeer goed geregels, Tourhub reisbureau zeer hulpzaam en zeer vriendelijk
I have already answered this
An excellent Blue Roads experience except for the issues related to the ferries, which I know is beyond the company's control, and the final day on Jersey spent driving around the island when there is the Samares Manor & garden, the Hamptonne Country Life Museum, le Moulin de Quetivel, the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
The Tour concept is very appealing but although in many areas was enjoyable, educational and enhanced by wonderful weather, fell well short of expectations. More details to follow
The tour was excellent, well organised, interesting content, great group of travellers. It was a shame that there was a timing problem with the ferry from Poole to Guernsey, not Back Roads fault, but it did create a bit of stress for the group. We loved what we did and saw, and felt that the Tour Leader and Driver did some extra things for us that were fantastic.
Excellent itinerary full of interesting and beautiful places to see and explore. Allowed for enough free time along with introduction tours where needed. A few hiccups with ferry crossing boats and times not being really convenient or accurate but I believe this was beyond the Tour Guides control though he did unfortunately cop some flack for it from some tour members.
Just for reference, Condor operates the ferries between the islands and if the fast ferry out of Pool is unavailable then the alternative out of Portsmouth is more a working ferry not a cruise ship so facilities can be a little more basic and the crossing does take 7 hours. Bearing that in mind, it was still very comfortable and part of the adventure!
Apart from that the chosen hotels were all wonderful, all breakfasts were provided along with some dinners.
Would definitely recommend Back Roads Touring to anyone.
Many interesting experiences, especially Sark.
I really enjoyed this tour although there was a lot of free time which may have been because the islands are small. Excellent Guide and driver
Small group travel had great benefits in places seen, roads travelled, experiences, plenty of own time to personal things and generally good accomodation.
Not sure what you mean by purchase
interesting places to visit, good information supplied by the guide, back roads.
Great itinerary and good pacing. We especially enjoyed the stops where we were there for multiple nights.
A small group appealed for this trip via ferry to the Channel Islands.
