Frequently Asked Questions
how many stars are the hotels on this trip? what category are?
We use hotels that have an average star rating of 3-4, but tend to be unique to the region.
What is the solo traveler rate? Will they be matched with another traveler or have their own room?
For the tour, passengers booked under a single passenger rate would be assigned their own double bed private room.
What difference would there be in booking one rather than the other?
Back-Roads and Blue-Roads are actually the same company, we just go by Blue-Roads in North America due to there being another company called Backroad.
