  • R

    Ryan

    Asked on February 1st, 2026

    What are the hotels we will be staying in please and do they have private bathrooms and working aircon? With our leisure time, is there enough time to do a tour of some historic venues in these towns or the surrounding areas?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten February 2026

      All rooms on the tour have ensuites in the hotel rooms. All the hotels have air-conditioning too. In your leisure time you can absolutely go do some exploring or some tours of historical sites if the timing lines up. Our excellent tour leaders would be able to assist with that.

    Linda

    Asked on January 28th, 2026

    I'd love this tour except I'd love to visit the Dolomites instead of Venice.. you can't change up any part I guess?

    Tour Details
    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten January 2026

      Unfortunately, no, we wouldn't be able to change the itinerary to have an alternative stay. This tour does include a stop in Belluno but doesn't have any stays in the Dolomites.

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      We are looking to travel the beginning of August 2026. We would like your recommendation on amount of rooms needed. I don't know how big they are, how many people fit, etc.

    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten July 2025

      Our tours are for passengers 18 and over. As the age demographic for our tours is 55-70 years old, so we are unable to accept any passengers under the age of 18
