Food & Wine Tours

The cruise itself was nice, although I wouldn’t repeat that same itinerary. I much preferred my previous trip from Budapest to Germany. The excursion’s that Amawaterways offered in those ports were by far better. The excursions on the Bucharest to Budapest were for the most part unimpressive and required a lot of land travel getting to them. I believe read more that was pretty much the same impression I got from the other guest onboard. I appreciate the work of our advisor, Gesa, and Global Journeys' great communication throughout the whole process. I will utilize them again in the future for my travel plans.

This was my 1st Backroads tour. This is a regional tour visiting some lovely scenic towns. Lecce was my favourite: biggest town we visited with wonderful limestone Baroque architecture. We stayed in a lovely palazzo here. Very energetic, fun, tour leader. A full group of 18. Bus was very cramped and not comfortable. Thank goodness we weren't travelling read more long distances. My gluten free diet request was well catered for at all hotels and included dinners. The last 2 hotels we stayed in were quite basic. I am usually a solo traveller. On this tour I travelled with a Canadian friend. We prefer a busier, more active style of travelling. I felt this tour was more suited to couples rather than solo travellers.This was the 2nd of 3 tours over 6 weeks that I arranged with the friendly and professional assistance of Georgie and Hannah.

Not just for foodies but anyone looking to enjoy the Balkans with a few likeminded people. On this trip we enjoyed scenery, landmarks and food with local families. Seeing how the products are produced and then enjoying them within a home cooked meal was a highlight of the tour. Alec was a fully engaged, friendly and knowledgeable guide.

I had a wonderful time in the Loire Valley - lots of beautiful fairytale castles, walking, beautiful French food, wine - what’s not to like.
My only concern coming from Australia was that transfers were not automatically available from Tours - the major town in the Loire. Otherwise a wonderful trip.
