EUROPE’S CALLING
Europe, by any standards, is an international hit. Renowned for its diverse patchwork of history,
culture and staggering beauty, it’s a continent of architecture and artists, culture, quirks and cuisine.
Vineyards roll into villages and cutting-edge cities share their borders with century-old castles.
Wine varietals are locally owned and operated, we pride ourselves on creating holidays that
truly suit our clients’ needs. We will listen, offer tips and inspiring ideas and then work together
to create your perfect holiday. European cuisine has been unmatched since, well forever, and
the aesthetics are equally delicious. Shaped by masters such as Gaudi and Michelangelo, as well
as the Romans, the Greeks and their numerous gods, the artwork is indisputably impressive.
A continent of confidence, Europe is a crowd-pleaser and an undisputed head-turner.
TUSC ANY, ITALY
We’re an experienced team of world travellers,
passionate about immersing ourselves in the local
culture of every place we visit. And we’re just as
passionate about sharing this knowledge with you.

Picture a touring holiday that delves a bit deeper
One that doesn’t simply drop by top sights and major
cities, but invites you to see a destination through the
eyes of the people who know it best: the locals who call
it home. Where journeys are made for absorbing never to
be forgotten views, not darting from A to B. And each day
ends in a hand picked retreat brimming with local charm.
Back-Roads Touring have spent over 30 years creating
these kinds of small group tours. They know that the
best kind of adventure is one that introduces you
to local experiences and sights while providing you
with the time and space to explore independently.
