Knowledgeable guide and great driver. All accomodation was great, everyone looked after us well. We had a few changes along the way but all added to the journey- definitely worth doing! 😁

Small group tours are the only way to go and going on the back roads away from commercialisation to see the real country is what Backroads gives you.
