Heart of England Reviews

This small group tour was enjoyable from the start to the end. The historic Cotswold's villages and the surrounding countryside were stunning. We had regular stops and time to see the individual villages, learn of their history and the movies made in those villages. The two nights in Bath enabled us to enjoy the ingenuity of the Romans dating back 2,000 ...read more years as well as learn about the events of the regency era. I highly recommend this 5 day tour.

The tour guide was the most knowledgeable guide we have ever experienced from the pre-Roman kings to history of modern England. The tour met all our expectations. Not to forget the coach driver who negotiated the narrow country roads with ease especially when confronted by trucks coming from the opposite direction.

Have travelled with Backroads (UK) twice before with excellent tours all round. This tour was also very good, but the tour guide was not quite so prepared as with previous tours, this detracted somewhat from the overall experience. Great group of fellow travellers.

Fabulous back roads tour as the guide was very informative and obliging (Nick). Had a bunch of Aussies with us so we were very much at home as we knew the 'lingo' so to speak. Would recommend the trip and have done so to who ever we have spoken to. One negative was that the bus was rather uncomfortable for 16 people although it was a 16 seater. Seats ...read more were very small even for an average person. Hotels were excellent choices and staff were nothing but helpful.
