Other Testimonials

This was a tremendous experience. The leaders were outstanding, the van/bike support excellent, the destinations and accomodations terrific. I felt safe knowing that someone had my back. Also, it was a great blend of fitness and leisure, while also fulfilling my need for learning about new cultures. Overall, this will go down as one of my most memorable vacation experiences. Thank you!

Of our 14 trips with Backroads, this trip has some of the most beautiful and idyllic cycling we have experienced. Riding through the lush orchards and terraced vineyards at their peak was pure bliss.

I had an absolutely amazing experience! It was certainly one of my favorite weeks of my entire life and I cannot wait to travel with Backroads again. Thank you, thank you, you wonderful people!!! This was an easy one. As novice cyclists, my wife and I have only mountain bikes at home. To be on a road bike was like floating! And to be on one that was specifically suited to our heights and preferences - truly awesome!!!

My husband and I had a fantastic time. We had been looking forward to the trip for over a year. We had heard wonderful things about the trip, but the trip FAR EXCEEDED our expectations. The hotels, food, biking, trip leaders, bikes, local activities were ALL amazing and fantastic. We've only been back for a few days but we can't stop talking about it!! We are definitely hooked on Backroads! And trying to see when we can do another trip!!

I really can't say enough positive things about the trip and the two leaders. Simply put, it was one of the best experiences of my life. I don't know one person who can claim to have experienced a new culture on such a wide and intimate scale. Add the great people on the trip, the food, my birthday gift and the 800 some odd pictures I took...well, I'm already looking at my next adventure with Backroads. Outstanding!
