    I love small group tours, where you don't have to drive or organise yourself, and you get to meet great new people. Back-Roads Touring does this really well. Knowledgeable tour leader, great driver and we enjoyed the beautiful Tuscan area! I really felt like I had a holiday and experienced some of the most beautiful parts of Tuscany.

    We were very worried about this tour as we are generally not “the touring types” Our concerns were unfounded. Our tour guide, Liz, was incredible. Her professionalism never wavered and her concern for all of our comfort and needs was incredibly reassuring. Time spent on the bus was kept to a minimum and all accomodations were adequate taking into account the tiny villages we stayed in. As mentioned above, we were worried that 7 nights would be too long but we both didn’t want the tour to end. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has been undecided on whether or not to do it

    The itinerary was excellent. The tour guide, Flavia, did an exceptional job. Flavia’s local knowledge enhanced the experience and gave us options to visit additional places in our own time during the tour. Driver Fabio did a great job, always happy, polite, safe and on time.
