While feeling frozen is the worst and an ice cream freeze nearly as bad, we can all agree that a price freeze is the best freeze of all. Back-Roads Touring agree, offering your clients their 2026 UK and Europe adventures at 2025 prices! Brr-illiant! Plus, new Italy tour, and we’ve got the low-down on how you can get on their Northern Spain fam!
With currency fluctuations impacting Australian travel budgets, this is the news you – and your clients – needed! A one-of-a-kind opportunity to tell your clients that now is the time to lock in their 2026 vacation.
Not only do they get to start dreaming of their days spent lazing on Amalfi Coast beaches, discovering Scottish wildlife, and dining in French vineyards, but they also get to beat inflation and currency madness (is it up, is it down, who knows?).
Guaranteed best rate
Unlike that ear-worm Frozen song that spent a year on repeat in your brain, Back-Roads’ prize freeze promotion is only on for a short time.
Book your clients’ 2026 UK and Europe travel between now and 30 June 2025 to beat the annual price rise. And it’s guaranteed to be the best rate for 2026 tours.
