The Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth
National Geographic Adventure magazine recognizes Backroads as #1
BERKELEY, CA (January 29, 2009)—Backroads has been ranked as the top adventure travel company in the Biking category in the prestigious 2009 National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “The Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth” survey. “Backroads was evaluated in five key categories - quality of service, spirit of adventure, education, sustainability and client satisfaction - and we're proud to have received our highest total score ever” says Tom Hale, Backroads President and Founder.
As National Geographic Adventure magazine puts it: “When planning the adventure trip of a lifetime, one of the most important decisions you'll make is which travel company to go with. National Geographic Adventure's second annual rating of the top 55 adventure tour operators helps ensure that your next trip will be one to write home about.” We wholeheartedly agree and are proud to rank as the number one choice for travelers.
Making it to number one is gratifying and puts us in very distinguished company. At the same time, it simply reaffirms what we've been hearing all along from the most important judges: our own travelers. When Backroads guests tell us we have the best leaders in active/adventure travel, it inspires us to work harder than ever, meeting and exceeding their expectations. And that holds true across the board, as we pursue the most interesting destinations, the finest lodgings and cuisine, the deepest local connections and the highest standards of personal service.
