Back-Roads Touring, have spent over 25 years crafting small group holidays that delve a little bit deeper. Tours that don’t simply drop by top sights and major cities but invite 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 cherry-picked boutique retreat loaded with local charm.
Back-Roads Touring created these small group tours so that they know that the best kind of adventure is one that introduces you to immersive experiences and sights that last a lifetime – then gives you the time and space to explore. The original small group touring company, Back-Roads Touring offers a selection of small group tours in the UK, Europe, Asia and North America.

The award winning tour leaders are committed to delivering the ‘Back-Roads Difference’: whether that be dining with the group, offering the flexibility to change the itinerary, giving personal recommendations for lunch or bringing each destination vividly to life with their insight and knowledge. The tour leaders are dedicated to delivering a truly authentic, personalised experience.
The private tailor made service offers bespoke tours around Europe and the UK. Perfect for groups of friends or families, Tailor-Made Tours can design and deliver a tour to your individual requirements, from start to finish. Whether you have a specific itinerary in mind or just a few ideas about where you want to go to, Travel Club Elite alongside Back Roads Tours will work to plan your customer’s holiday of a lifetime. Whilst some customers want to base their tailor made experience on a standard tour, with a few additions or alterations, others wish to do something completely different.
