First, let me say thank you!!! This was our honeymoon and we decided that just this once we'd really splurge and let someone else do the planning - figuring that we probably won't allow ourselves this kind of luxury again until we hit another major milestone. But the trip was so incredible that we just might be addicted to Backroads and totally unable to travel on our own ever again! Since this was our first time using an "active travel company," we did a lot of research to find the right trip - so we know that there's a ton of competition out therebut based on our experience in the Dolomites, I can't imagine any company doing a better job.- West Chester, PA

This trip was well designed to offer options that seemed to suit everyone. It had absolutely fabulous scenery, and was one of the more challenging trips we've been on.- Bingham Farms, MI

This was a wonderful trip - it offered the right amount of activity combined with cultural enrichment.- Bethesda, MD

Felt like we really got a flavor of the Dolomites! Did all the longest hike options and really loved it.- Reno, NV

A wonderful experience. It was engaging and thoroughly restful at the same time. This is a trip I would seriously consider taking again. San Francisco, CA

Awe inspiring, fun and informative. This was our first Backroads trip . It far exceeded our expectations, in every way. The food was over the top in quality and quantity. The scenery and hiking were diverse and extraordinary. The inns were intimate and excellent. But it was the guides who made the trip so very special. They appeared to handle all the logistics effortlessly and we so appreciated having everything handled. They both provided leadership, but it never quite appeared so. They were tons of fun, inspiring, well informed and good teachers, and just so generally interesting as human beings I would have loved to have been almost anywhere with them. I effuse enough. It was a perfect trip.- Carmel, CA

A wonderful experience, engaging and thoroughly restful at the same time. This is a trip I would seriously consider taking again. The quality of your leaders is fundamental to the quality of the Backroads experience. Please continue to retain, recruit and develop your leaders at the highest possible level. They are your distinguishing competitive advantage...and they ensure a very positive experience.- San Francisco, CA
