La Belle France
Gully – Western Australia (2010)My wife and I experienced the La Belle France 2010. What a magnificent tour, made all the better by Guide/ Driver Andy, who had outstanding knowledge of the tour route and highlights on the way. It was the ability to travel through small villages and small roads which added to the feel of being amongst the ‘real’ people of France. We have experienced a ‘big coach’ tour in Europe. Never again now that we have experienced the Back-Roads Touring option. No early starts and late finishes and no travelling from point to point via major highways. As much comfort on board the mini-bus as on a coach. Highly recommend tours with Back-Roads Touring Company. I have done a ‘big bus’ tour in Europe – never again after experiencing this little gem!

Jackie Brunke, Seattle "As avid travellers, my husband and I have for 20 years subscribed to every one of the expensive 'slick' travel magazines. However, not until we were introduced to the wonderful, practical, informative ITN did we find our all-time perfect trip. We recently returned from the 13 day tour in France with Back-Roads Touring Co... We would be happy to talk with anyone wanting more details of our experience."
