    Kinga, our tour guide, was fantastic. She did lots of extra work making sure we were all really well looked after and enjoyed ourselves.

    Most of the tour was on the main highways why are you called Back Roads. Also on the last day drop off location is a huge joke. The girl at the Hotel Downtown Sophie said that if we were not staying at the hotel it was not really her job to phone taxis for everyone and she was correct. It was rude of Back Roads to expect a hotel to phone for taxis when everyone was staying somewhere different. If we were informed from the beginning where the drop off point would be, I’m sure most people would had stayed at the hotel. But we had no idea where drop off point was until a couple of weeks beforehand.

    This was our eighth Back-Roads trip and it did not disappoint. Our guide Kinga was wonderful. Entertaining, informative, fun and helpful.
