Discover the real Europe on a relaxing small-group or tailor-made tour

England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, Croatia, Spain, Portugal, Garden Tours, WWI & WWII Battlefield Tours, Tailor-Made Tours

Back-Roads Touring has over 25 years experience in small group and tailor-made tours of the UK and Europe. By limiting group sizes to a maximum of 16 passengers, Back-Roads Touring can provide a friendly, relaxed, and flexible form of travel.

Back-Roads Touring believes that the journey is as important as the destination; these holidays are more than just 'town hoping'. These tours will give you free time to enjoy even the smallest delights. It could be sitting in a Cornish café savouring a cream tea, shopping 'til you drop in Milan, or discovering the life works of Leonardo Da Vinci in an Italian museum.

Back-Roads Touring holidays are relaxing and stress free. Your knowledgeable driver guides are on hand to provide a personal service, as a source of information, day or night.

Included are World War I and World War II Battlefield Tours, which take you the Somme, Ypres Salient, Fromelles & Vimy Ridge, Gallipoli and Turkey. Pay your respects on ANZAC Day and remember the D-Day Battle for France. As with all Back-Roads tours, expert guides will accompany you to provide fascinating information and insights.

Back-Roads' purpose built mini-coaches can take you to places in Europe that large coaches are simply unable to reach. You can leave the typical tourist trails behind and visit tiny places like the cobbled town centre of an historic European village, or a narrow, country lane in the English Cotswolds. These hidden gems are all easily accessible with a Back-Roads tour, giving you a unique insight into local culture and heritage.
