Fantastic trip to Italy!

Submitted May 2025

By Laura

From Zeeland, MI

This was my first trip with Backroads and my first time in Italy. The overall experience was incredible! The hikes, food, and additional activities were amazing. All three of the trip leaders made it an unforgettable journey. I would highly recommend Backroads to anyone who wants to make the most out of their vacation experience.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

From The Villages, FL

The leaders were exceptional, always looking for ways to ensure we had the very best experience possible. We had some challenges with train delays and cancellations, but they quickly found alternate travel for us so we didn't miss our hikes. I was not able to do many of the hikes, yet they always had alternate activities for me. I love the way the trips can accommodate all levels of activity.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
