Backroads launches Private Reserves trips through Europe

Backroads has released a new collection of trips called Private Reserve, available exclusively for private bookings for a limited time, through Dec. 31.

These hand-picked biking, walking and hiking and multi-adventure trips offer departures for the company’s most sought-after European locations during the highly requested travel months in the fall. Destinations include Portugal’s Algarve & Alentejo, Spanish Pyrenees to Costa Brava, German & Austrian Alps, Scottish Highlands, the Dolomites and Basque Country.

About Private Reserve trips

Backroads Private Reserve caters to the unique needs of private groups, giving them first access to some of the company’s most popular European trips before opening the dates to the public.

With competition for travel dates—especially in September—at an all-time high, Backroads decided to offer a block of departures solely for private bookings. The company has been running trips for private groups for over four decades and recognizes the logistics involved in coordinating and booking a trip for multiple people with different schedules.

Private Reserve gives private groups more options for active travel and more time to get members onboard, and offers a remarkable experience for groups, including smaller parties. While Backroads has more than 6,000 dates available for booking, more people than ever are choosing to go private and these new dates are expected to fill fast.

Now available to book

Private Reserve trips for 2025 are available for booking now through December 31, 2024; on January 1, 2025, any unreserved dates will open to the general public.
