We had a fabulous trip to the Carolinas. Due to Covid, we decided to take a USA trip. What a great choice! This trip can rival any tip in Europe! Our guides Haven and Jeffrey were outstanding! Tons of fun! Highly recommend this trip!

I thoroughly enjoyed my first Backroads experience bicycling in the Carolinas with 9 other family members and 12 new friends. The service was impeccable. We enjoyed very challenging bike routes and wonderful hotels and meals. The staff was very competent and friendly; they seemed to anticipate our every need. It was a fantastic experience.

What an awesome way to spend our honeymoon. We will definitely use Backroads for our anniversary experiences as well. Our leaders, Haven and Garrett were phenomenal. Great personalities, planners and people. They thought of everything and more. The riding was challenging and beautiful. The hotels were wonderful. Meals were spectacular. Every detail was planned and I didn't have to do any of it! That's so appreciated.

Gorgeous riding, fabulous food.

Spectacular route planning. The Biltmore Estate and the Hotel Domestique were wonderful bases, so different, but each magnificent, and absolutely stunning riding routes. We appreciated the alternative routes available, so we could ride as much as we felt like each day.
