YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS

Steve Mortimer – owner of Byroads, or his sister Bronny Nicholas will be the tour facilitator on your tour.  Both are experienced and well-travelled. They share a love of the world and its people and most importantly, a strong desire to ensure Byroads is your best-ever travel adventure! In addition to your host, each trip has the services of a highly experienced local guide who knows their country inside out.

SMALL GROUPS

Our groups are limited to just 16 guests.  That’s large enough to provide some diversity but small enough to feel you are on holiday with a group of friends.  Importantly, by strictly limiting numbers we have access to small boutique hotels, many of which only have 10-15 rooms.

ACCOMMODATION

At Byroads we carefully select properties that reflect the character of the regions we travel through. Fabulous Moroccan riads, old Maharaja palaces in India, felt ‘gers’ in Mongolia, plus quaint pensions and traditional houses are just some of the places we stay in. Our guests love our accommodation.

GREAT ITINERARIES

An important feature of any Byroad’s tour is the balance of sightseeing and free time. We try to avoid long days leaving you  time to explore on your own and to ‘smell the roses’.  Our itineraries include the highlights plus we have added some  surprise visits and activities that add greatly to your holiday.

TRANSPORTATION

There is nothing worse than being uncomfortable on your holiday. It’s one of the biggest complaints with many tour operators.  At Byroads we chose our vehicles carefully to ensure that there’s plenty of room to travel in comfort and we don’t overload our vehicles. Your comfort and safety is our priority.

DELICIOUS FOOD

Part of the fun of travel with Byroads is sampling the local cuisine. Our breakfasts are included each day at our hotels whilst for most other meals our guides are on-hand to recommend the best local restaurants and explain the local delicacies of each of the regions we travel to.
