Five Stars, Five Stars!!!!
It was AMAZING! All the Stars!!
A great experience in all regards.
Leaders Cesar & Carlos-excellent in all areas Associate Ingrid- excellent in all areas As a team, they were attentive to everyone (individually and as a group), especially in regards to dietary restrictions, hiker ability and safety. Above all, they made every effort to ensure that everyone was included and enjoying the trip.
Fabulous hiking adventure
The best Team Leaders, great hiking with amazing scenery, excellent accommodation and great food.
Absolutely beautiful but rigorous
This is a great way to explore the Costa Brava and was a wonderful way to see the Pyrenees. But the Pyrenees hiking was quite rigorous, a number of rocky scrambles both up and down. If that is the type of hiking you like to do, you will find this tour both challenging and very, very worthwhile. And the views are fantastic!
Absolutely exceptional in every way!
I would rate this trip a 20/10 if I could. The hotels were the best I have ever stayed in, the food magnificent (I am a tapas convert!), and if the whole world were made of Backroads leaders, it would be a much better place.
The Best of Spain!
This trip was a fantastic way to see Spain! Backroads took us to the best part of the Costa Brava where we hiked along the stunning Mediterranean coast! Meals and hotels were fantastic! We then hiked on both the French side and Spanish side of the Pyrenees- 2 countries in 1 trip! Beautiful mountains and meadows with the sound of cowbells all around! Our guides Jenna and Pete were fantastic and took care of everything! They were so caring and knowledgeable- they felt like family at the end. Once again, Backroads exceeded my expectations for this trip! I am already planning my next Backroads tour- the absolute best way to travel!
Pyrenees/ Costa Brava
Caesar and Cody were professional, flexible and super engaging. I loved the experience!
Better than expected!
We were expecting a lot from Backroads as we have known many people who have traveled with you. And you exceeded our expectations!! We never had to think. Everything from laying out our poles in the morning, moving our luggage, providing snacks, to making suggestions as to where to eat when we were on our own for dinner was made easy. The hiking was the perfect challenge for us. The variation in scenery was amazing, from beautiful coastline to magnificent mountains. Best of all were the leaders! They were fun-loving, friendly, and always helpful. Can't wait to go on another trip!
Over the Top!
This trip vastly exceeded my expectations which were pretty high, The leaders, the terrain, the vistas, the accommodations and the food all made the entire experience one that I will never forget. I can't stop smiling whenever I think about how lucky I was to be able to have such a fantastic opportunity.
Great experience!
Trip was life changing. Great balance of fun and activities. Guides were very friendly and accommodating. Didn't want to leave but will definitely be back.
