Many tourists do not really see the country they visit. Herded onto 50 seat coaches, hidden in city centre hotels, route marched around expensive tourist sights, visiting only with locals who have something to sell, seeing the country from the freeway - this, all too often, is the modern holiday experience.

The Back-Roads Touring Co. philosophy is to take you behind this tourist façade, away from the massed coach parties and introduce you to the 'real' country and its people, to treat you as an individual not just one of a group. Their aim is to give you the most memorable vacation you'll ever have and, in the process, really experience the rich and diverse cultures of the countries visited.

With the companionship and help of the multi-talented companion/guides, you'll live the history of the areas you visit, sample life in small villages and towns, have experiences not open to larger groups of travelers. And, perhaps most importantly, you'll visit with people as interested in meeting you as you are in meeting them. You will travel in specially designed Renault and Mercedes vehicles with a maximum of 16 seats.

Of course, this does mean you cannot expect to find life as it is back home and it calls for a small measure of adaptability on your part and a 'go with the flow' attitude. Back-Roads Touring Co. small group touring is now THE travel concept, environmentally aware and satisfying both visitor and visited. During their nineteen-year history, they have established a reputation for integrity and honesty that has earned unbiased press and industry praise and, better still, scores of loyal clients who have traveled with them time and time again.

If you feel that you share their philosophy, they invite you to join them on a tour down the back roads and promise that they'll never forget that this is your hard earned holiday. They will do their very best to ensure that it is the vacation of a lifetime.
