BTT FAMILY! 💖 I have never been more grateful for an experience in my life. Building self-confidence and mingling with so many different people. Heart, S and K? Thank you for everything you did for us over the 3 weeks. You guys made it everything it could be and more. You worked so hard to keep us all happy and I don't think you could have done any more. I had a few bad days and each person continuously checked to see if I was okay. Thank you.. and K, our final night, you didn't have to join us but you showed that no matter what, you were always the biggest team player and you showed us a great time for the last time. Amazing experiences that you would definitely not do having booked it privately.. Khao Sol NP being one thing I definitely would never do if it hadn't been for this tour. Having 3 locals along the way adds so much to the culture. Being able to pick and choose also plays a huge part as sometimes you do want to just chill out. I've made some amazing friends and loved every minute! I would recommend this trip to anyone and I'd recommend the company just as much. I will definitely be back in another country and I will definitely be back to visit my favourite 3 Thai men! 😚 xxx

I've had the trip of a lifetime the past three weeks in Thailand! The tour was very well organized, with great accommodation and tastayy food😉. Along with an itinerary that exceeded my expectations, the trip wouldn't have been what it was without our tour guides Heart and S. Their energy and humor brought the group together- there was never a dull moment! I really appreciated all the incredible photos they took and how quickly they were shared with the group as well. Every day was a blast and I've made lifelong friends from all over the world. Many of us are already planning another trip with backpackingtours. I can't reccomend this company enough! Just go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks BTT❤

I did the Costa Rica tour. Mari was our tour guide and went above and beyond. Her knowledge was incredible and the extra effort and care she put in daily was truly amazing and appreciated. She knew everything about the destinations, cuisine and culture. Truly was the best guide and especially being Ceoliac I never once felt uneasy of eating something as Mari was always there to make sure things were gluten free options and made sure I never felt left out and there was always options. Literally cannot say enough amazing things regarding our guide as Mari really did become like a friend on this trip. If anyone gets Mari as a tour guide they are truly lucky as I believe I had such a good time due to her energy and personality that was added.

Did the 17 day travel in Japan with the best groupleader ever: Adam Pyzer. Give it a 5 out of 5. He was always very caring and very well prepared. We had the best time ever!

I did a 17-day tour in New Zealand and it was absolutely amazing! I loved it. Some days were full of activities and a busy program, but there was still enough free time to explore and enjoy everything at your own pace. Our group leader, Sellina, was helpful and supportive the whole time—always in a good mood, full of energy, and bringing positive vibes. I would highly recommend it, especially for solo female travelers.

Sri Lanka Tour - what an incredible country and a great way to see almost all of it! Dam & Sam really made the trip an incredible experience and helped teach us all so much about their beautiful world! Never without an answer to any question as much as I tried!! Couldn’t recommend them more! Miss the pair already feel like I’ve left family behind!
