Backroads was built by travellers, for travellers. We specialise in small-group tours that take you deep into local culture — staying in family-run guesthouses, eating at street markets, and hiking trails that most tour buses never find.
Every itinerary is designed by our team of seasoned explorers who have lived in and travelled through each destination. We keep group sizes under 12 so every experience stays personal, flexible, and genuinely memorable.
view toursWe negotiate directly with local partners — no middlemen, no markups. Every tour is priced to give you the best possible experience for your budget.
Whether it's cycling through Yunnan rice terraces or trekking Kenya's Rift Valley, our routes are built for those who want to go further than the guidebook suggests.
Adventure doesn't mean roughing it. All our tours include hand-picked accommodation, reliable transport, and 24/7 guide support so you travel with complete peace of mind.
