Travellers can choose from seven new tours, including trips across California, through the North East, and into the Deep South. The announcement comes following overwhelming positive customer feedback from Back-Roads Touring’s expansion into Asia in 2018, and the increasing popularity of their UK and European tours. The new itineraries include Classic California Coast, A Taste of Northern California, Canyons of the Southwest, Heart of the Deep South, Historic America: Freedom and the Civil War, and Charming New England – which will be available to experience in the two distinct seasons of summer and fall. Each tour places focus on exploring the lesser-known side of each destination, inviting guests to see a destination through the eyes of the people who know it best: the locals who call it home. Showcasing mouth-watering cuisines, impressive historical sites and one-of-a-kind experiences that are usually exclusively reserved for locals, the new North America tours will kick off in major cities, before taking guests to experience sun-soaked wine-paired lunches in the Napa Valley, oyster shucking in Rhode Island, and Jeep tours of the sacred Monument Valley with a local Navajo guide.
