Backroads

The Backroads App is filled with information to help guests prepare for each days activities.

Excellent snapshots and better than the daily paper sheets

Really good daily snapshots that are more pointed than the travel planner. Backroads gives you access a week before you trip which informs my final packing choices. On trip, it eliminates the thousands of questions my spouse and kids ask about the plan for the day.

Not the most sophisticated app but I think that’s intentional. You don’t need to be tech savvy to use it and I believe it works offline/when you have no cell service.

Also really helpful when planning the On Your Own (OYO) activities and meals.

Scotland Hiking

Excellent service, planning, execution, personal attentions from the attending Backroads Staff Camille, Alistair, and Lee

Great guides, horrible internet

Guides are great - 5 star. Trip is great. Internet is complete garbage - 1 star

Trouble accessing

The information on this app is fantastic ….if you can access it. It seemingly appears and disappears. Try to redownload the app and there is no way to type in your required code. Totally frustrating.
