London to Paris via the Channel Islands

Have said 3 star only because there was alot of walking. Ok for :70 - 80 tourists but really hard going for older persons like 86! .
The tour was very interesting lovely accomodation. lots of very informative narrative Very helpful and considerate Tour guide Tony. I’d like to give 4 star if I was a bit younger still I’m so glad I was on they Tour saw and learnt alot

My second time touring with Backroads and this one didn’t disappoint, great guide and driver, Tony & Steve, interesting trip and surprising Chanel Islands. Will plan another trip next year.

Excellent tour, the Chanel Islands are beautiful with a lot of history. Both our guide and bus driver were very good. Our guide had a great knowledge and experience of this tour so as to maximise our experience.

Fabulous guide and driver. Thankfully we had 3 empty seats otherwise the bus would have been a bit claustrophobic. Great hotels and itinerary.

Very well sourced and organised tour.
Tony and Lee were terrific.
We had lots of fun.

Really enjoyed 3 nights at L'Horizon hotel in Jersey.

I liked the size of the group and the amount of time to explore on our own after getting an introductory tour and outline from our excellent guide.

I have heard about you for years and every aspect of the trip lived up to my hopes and expectations. Your personnel, Tony and Lee, were always very professional, supportive, and friendly. Your organization and planning were wonderful. I look forward to next time!

This tour was excellent from start to finish. The accommodation choices were great.
We visited every place on the itinerary and more.
The Channel Islands are delightful. And the places we visited in France should be on everyone’s bucket lists, they are so special.
The tour bus was very comfortable and could enter roads and areas the big coaches can’t.
The tour guide Tony Knight is the best we’ve ever had on any trip. He was fully prepared every day and his knowledge on every site was outstanding. He went above and beyond to personalise the tour for every person where he could. Our driver Lee was also excellent and we felt very safe with him behind the wheel.
Highly recommend this tour.

Great itinerary and guide, driver excellent and amazing amount of history to absorb
A real. Learning experience in amazing places, hearing about amazing people who suffered so much during occupation of channel islands

Hotel Duke of Richmond and L Horizon fantastic accommodation and service
Well thought out itinerary
Tony our guide ensured we had the best time

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.

This tour gives just a little bit of England, and a good time in the Channel Islands, but you get to France and all of a sudden it is finished! St Malo was an absolute Highlight, as was Mont St Michel and Dinan, we would have liked just one more day in the French countryside!

Great itinerary and good pacing. We especially enjoyed the stops where we were there for multiple nights.

Liked backroad nature of tour and small size of group

What do you mean my purchases?

See comments above.

A full review was completed at the end of the tour.

Great value for money & thoroughly enjoyable

Because we went to places I have always wanted to go, we were well looked after.

Loved the tour. Excellent driver and guide who had prepared lots of extras. Small group helped family atmosphere.

Great destinations that other tours do not cover. Again well organised and conducted.

Lucky with weather, think too long in St Malo and not enough in Dinan - also no time in Laval, which looks interesting

I seem to be doing this twice.
