This was by far our best vacation ever! Several of us left the trip amazed by our physical accomplishments and appreciative of the bonds of friendship that were formed along the way.- Hampton, NH
I cannot believe how well run this trip was. From the activities, transportation, meals . . . everything ran like clockwork. Our leaders were incredibly professional, competent, and fun to be around. I felt like I was at "summer camp for grown ups" all week - meeting new friends, exploring nature, eating/drinking to my belly's content!- Los Angeles, CA
Having been brainwashed by my partner, about how good Backroads is, my expectations were extremely high and as the trip grew nearer. I became increasingly concerned I would be disappointed. How wrong I was - the leaders' tireless efforts to attend to every need, infectious knowledge and enthusiasm for the region as well as clear empathy with the locals ensured Amalfi was not a trip, but rather an 'experience.' The leaders' acute attention to detail, efforts to organize things with locals - such as dinner with Michelangelo, the tour of the paper factory in Amalfi and hiking with Maurizzio were most enjoyable. The leaders clearly worked well as a team and I was amazed by their boundless energy, constant state of happiness and driving skills! I think they struck a good balance between walking/hiking, educational and leisure activities. I'm pleased to say that the trip not only met, but exceded my expectations and without needed to be prompted, I am already looking forward to my next Backroads adventure.- Chigwell, Essex
