Client Comments

Client feedback letters, cards and emails - treasured items all - are frankly one of the best reasons why we do what we do!

Here below are a few examples of the unsolicited words of praise from tours over the last couple of seasons (published with the writers' permission.) Some of our clients are kind enough to also offer themselves as personal references, allowing us to give you their contact details should you wish to speak directly with them. Contact us for further info if you wish.

Some feedback is listed on the individual itineraries and some more here from a few of our recent guests:

“Thank you...the trip was wonderful...Mark Mahoney, our Back-Roads guide, was excellent. He immediately put us at ease and made sure to give us options throughout the tour...[my grandson] Zander told me on the steam train he wished we could travel more like that on vacations...as far as [my husband] Dave and I are concerned, we loved the ‘backroads’ concept and staying in different places, like the Tor Farm, was a real highlight. This was a vacation I don’t think Zander will ever forget and I know it’s in our great memory book! Thanks for everything”  *Van Carson, Harry Potter 9 day tour  [excerpt from a 3.5 page thank you letter!]

“Just wanted to follow up with you after the tour! We just got home on Sunday from our holiday, and the London portion of our trip was definitely one of the highlights!! I really, REALLY enjoyed our Clash/Joe tour of London. Damon was great, and really tried to help us see everything we wanted to see...he definitely tried to get us to all of our most important sites (and even threw in a few Jimi Hendrix and Beatles spots for good measure!) Thanks for all of your help in setting this up! I had a BLAST.”           *Heather Mendoza, Custom Clash/Joe Strummer’s London Tour

“David Wood sends his regards. He is far and away the best guide we have used. He’s a great gentleman with a marvelous sense of humor – which is what anyone traveling with me must have. All of our accommodations were excellent. We saw a lot of Wales and traveled on roads I doubt the large tour buses ever use. Our trip to Scotland [booked elsewhere] was almost anti-climatic after seeing so much beautiful scenery in Wales...”       *Lewis Ripps, Custom Wales Tour

“I booked directly with Kate, who was perfect”   *Ellen Stern, Cream Teas Tour

“Thanks for everything and especially for your really excellent individual service”  *Christine Scales, Ireland Tour

“We just wanted to thank you for the most fabulous vacation and honeymoon ever. My husband and I did not want to do the ‘lie on the beach’ type honeymoon. With our tour of Ireland and Scotland, we were able to explore our family heritage as well as have an adventure. A highlight was definately the haunted castle in Scotland! This trip has given us memories and photographs to treasure for a lifetime. PS – yes, the Guinness DOES taste better in Ireland!”    *Barb and Steve Mc Donnell, Ireland & Scotland Tours

“Just a quick note to say thanks for a great trip in France. After a fantastic time on a London day trip to Bath/Stonehenge and the Rock n Roll London tour last year, I was ready to take the plunge onto my first longer tour. I enjoyed having some structured time as well as freedom to explore at my leisure - a great balance. The Jazz cafes in Paris were a personal favorite. The guide was really fantastic. Thanks again!”    *Kathy Covone, France Tour

“I took the tour this past weekend and wanted to tell you...the guide from Philly (Kate) who I believe knows everything about rock & roll there is to know did a fantastic job. Absolutely the most knowledgable guide I have had in my many tours in London!!!”     *Pete Jensen, Rock & Roll London

“Kate was good to work with - very pleasant”     *Ann Leeds, North Country Tour

“…amazing to see settings of favorite novels come alive and also the places where the artists lived and worked! I gained some new perspectives for books that I already loved. It was also very interesting to see such the diversity of culture in a relatively small area. I had a wonderful time and hope to tour with your company again next year.”          *Jessica Sherman, Literary England & Italy Tours

“I just had to write to let you know (and all of the people associated with your office) that we had the most wonderful experiences of our lives thanks to the two trips we took with Back-Roads.”   *Arlys Krech, Ireland & Scotland tours

“I wanted to write and thank you for a wonderful tour in London on September 28th. I was really impressed with our tour guide (Kate.) This was the tour my husband and I were looking forward to the most as we are both music fanatics...I am very interested in taking more of your tours on our next visit. Thank you again for having such awesome tours.”               *Christine Hannon, Rock & Roll London
