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!
My third trip with Byroads was to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan - and what a wonderful adventure it was! Led by Bronny, the itinerary was comprehensive and varied, amazing local guides, accommodation full of character and style and the pace just right. I’ll travel with Byroads again!
