14th June 2023Review ratingYes I would travel with Back Roads again and would definitely recommend them to others.. The tour guide Tony Knight was excellent. He was informative and paid attention to detail and any requests/questions asked. He made the whole experience enjoyable. The driver, Ricky was also excellent - driving safely and with a knowledge of the local roads. The pace of the tour was easy going - not too rushed as some of the bigger, longer tours are. All over a wonderful time..
