BERKELY, CA — Backroads has launched a new collection of trips for private groups in some of Europe’s top destinations. Called ‘Private Reserve,’ the collection of trips and dates is available for private bookings for a limited time, through Dec. 31, 2024.

These handpicked Biking , Walking & Hiking and Multi-Adventure trips offer departures for the company’s most popular European locations during the highly requested travel months of fall. Destinations include Portugal’s Algarve & Alentejo, Spanish Pyrenees to Costa Brava, German & Austrian Alps, Scottish Highlands, the Dolomites and Basque Country. “We know the effort it takes to corral your private group, choose a destination and settle on a workable date.

We also know what it feels like when everything finally comes together, only to fall apart when you discover that trip has been booked by someone else in the meantime,” said Backroads Founder, President and CEO, Tom Hale. “We created Private Reserve to give private groups first crack at those hard-to-get locations and dates – especially those coveted September departures – giving organizers a little more breathing room and less competition for preferred dates. And with our online private trips search tool, reserving that ideal date for your group is a snap,” he added.

Private Reserve trips for 2025 are available for booking now through Dec. 31, 2024. On Jan.

1, 2025, any unreserved dates will open to the general public. Itineraries include: Biking .
