Friday, August 23, 2024 Backroads, the leading provider of active travel experiences, has unveiled its latest offering, the Private Reserve collection. This exclusive series of trips allows private groups to secure bookings for over 60 coveted travel dates across some of Europe’s most popular destinations. Available for a limited time until December 31, 2024, these handpicked Biking, Walking & Hiking, and Multi-Adventure trips provide early access to prime European locations during the highly sought-after fall travel season.

Exclusive Adventures for Private Groups The Private Reserve collection caters specifically to private groups, offering them the first opportunity to book popular European trips before these dates are made available to the general public. With travel demand—particularly in September—reaching unprecedented levels, Backroads has reserved a block of departures exclusively for private bookings. This initiative acknowledges the complexities involved in coordinating group travel and provides a solution by offering more options and additional time for organizing a memorable adventure.



Backroads has a long-standing history of arranging trips for private groups, and this new offering is designed to enhance the experience for both large and small parties. Although Backroads has over 6,000 travel dates available, the demand for private trips is growing rapidly, and these exclusive dates are expected to fill quickly. Private Reserve trips for 2025 are open for booking now through December 31, 2024.

Any unreserved dates will become available to the general public starting January 1, 2025.
