Travel to the Top End Frank, VIC, Australia, Oct 2025
Travelling to the Northern Territory and particularly Kakadu National Park is something that I wanted to do for some time. I enjoyed the trip even though it was sizzling hot and humid. We were a group of 12 on the tour from different countries and we all got along very well. The Aboriginal art rock was very interesting. But I would have liked more interaction... read more with the First Nation people. And yes, I liked the city of Darwin too.
Incredible Crete Meredith and Richard, NSW, Australia, Sep 2025
We loved Crete and the experience this trip offered us. We’ve just spent 3 weeks travelling in Crete and incorporated this 7 day Intrepid tour as we wanted to see the more rural areas of Crete and didn’t want to drive. It was incredible and gave us an authentic and local look into Crete. We loved the home stay experience and the small seaside village... read more allowing us to trek one of the gorges. Our tour guide was very good and attentive to making our experience a true local experience.
This is our first Intrepid tour and definitely won’t be our last. We enjoyed Intrepid’s travel style, small groups (we only had 5 in our group) and their focus on sustainable responsible travel and supporting locals. This is our 4th tour booked through Global Journeys. The service is always excellent with prompt communication and response times. I highly recommend this tour.
The tours and activities were great! Really enjoyed our leader. Felt like he was very knowledgeable and he was very personable. One complaint-breakfasts were way too small. Nina from Global Journeys was extremely helpful. Especially since I made arrangements kind of last minute.
Wonderful Sicily Sue and Graham, NSW, Australia, Sep 2025
Lovely trip to Sicily with Back Roads Touring. The itinerary was perfect, a good amount of organised tours versus free time. We loved the organised tours, from olive farm stay to a day in Taormina. The small group was perfect, 13 of us, small enough to get ti know everyone is 10 days. Our tour director Davide and our coach driver, Giovanni were very... read more friendly and knowledgable. The hotels to my surprise were first class mingled with classic stays. The included lunches were fabulous, wine and food were first class and situated in lovely areas, only small coaches could get into. I would highly recommend Back Roads Touring and look forward to our next adventure.
