Back-Roads Touring releases 2012 Summer brochure
BACK-Roads Touring has added seven new itineraries to its Summer 2012 UK & Europe brochure, including new battlefield tours and a wine-based journey through France’s Champagne region.
The 67-page brochure also features more meals in local restaurants, unique hotel stays and local experiences across its 28 small group itineraries.
The new 9-day In the Footsteps of the Third Reich travels through Austria and Germany visiting WWII sites such as Buchenwald concentration camp and cities including Vienna, Munich and Nuremberg from $2984* per person twin share.
The new 12 day Ireland – A Hundred Thousand Welcomes is the ultimate Ireland adventure and includes a stay in a castle hotel from $3496*, while the 9-day Vintage France Burgundy, Alsace & Champagne offers tasting in boutique wineries and gourmet French meals from $3048*.
The new 4-day Secrets of Southern England includes the Isle of Wight, Bath and a visit to the famous Highclere Castle, the set for hit period drama Downton Abbey, from $1281*.
Back-Roads is offering a 7.5% earlybird discount on all tours when booked and paid in full by 15 December 2011.
“Our 2012 brochure is our most exciting summer program yet with unique journeys ranging from three to 14 days,” Back-Roads Touring managing director Nathan James said.
“We also have more delicious meals in local restaurants, more unique hotel stays – including chateaux and villas – and more local experiences whilst on tour.
“We call these ‘Back-Road Experiences’ and can be things like seeing a thatcher at work in the Cotswolds, visiting medieval markets in Normandy and learning how peat is cut in Orkneys. These are authentic, unplanned moments in local communities which ensure no two tours are the same.”
Back-Roads has also added the 3-day The Delights of Devon & the English Riviera from $828*; 10-day Enchanting Southern Italy from $3658* and 12-day Anzac Day Dawn Ceremony Gallipoli & Turkey from $3140*.
Other brochure highlights include the 9-day Tuscan Treats & the Cinque Terre which includes two nights in a Tuscan villa, and 5-day Palaces and Chateaux of The Loire which features a stay in a magnificent chateau.
With no more than 16 people in a group, Back-Roads’ tours offers unique itineraries which travel at a leisurely pace along country lanes, use boutique accommodation and take travellers beyond the tourist façade. Tours include many meals and entrance fees.
