What Our Guests Say
Steve’s knowledge for the country, relaxed style and ability to choose great destinations, good hotels, restaurants and activities made the whole journey a pleasure.
I’ve done several trips now with Byroads including Jordan, Iran and twice to both Turkey and Morocco. All were fantastic trips that took me to the very heart of each country’s culture and people. I wouldn’t travel with anyone else. Thank you Steve!
Turkey is a kaleidoscope of colour and changing landscapes and the Byroads tour certainly highlighted the ancient civilizations and the magical charms of this wonderful country. Our trip ended with a dinner cruise on the Bosphorus. What a fitting end to an amazing trip.
