Had such an amazing time on my 17 day Japan tour. Our group leader Liam was awesome!

Just came back from the January tour and I can say hand on heart, it’s the best money that I’ve ever spent. Everything is so well organised, and there is never a dull moment! Our tour guides S and K couldn’t have done enough for us all and you don’t want to leave when the 3 weeks is finished! Would recommend to anybody to do this tour, whether you’re an experienced independent traveler or just starting to explore the world. You make friendships and memories that will last a lifetime!

After nearly 3 weeks in Thailand, all I can say is what an experience. The incredible tour guide S and drivers Kit and Ben make this trip one of the most comfortable, enjoyable experiences that I will never forget . 100% would recommend to anyone wanting to start their travelling journey!

Vietnam was absolutely mad in the best way possible. One minute you’re dodging scooters in Hanoi, next you’re chilling on a boat in Ha Long Bay, then crawling through caves in Phong Nha. Huy was such a legend, sorted everything and made sure we didn’t miss a thing. The group was unreal too, felt like we’d known each other for ages. Can’t believe how fast it went, proper gutted it’s over. Would 100% do another trip with Backpacking Tours! 🇻🇳🙌

The organization of the trip was super good. The trip has been very active - we have seen and experienced a lot. Nevertheless, we could pull back and do our own thing if we wanted to. I would like to give special praise to our group leader Mike Mazurkiewicz. He was very well organized, always very nice and polite and also very interesting as a personality. I can definitely recommend this trip!
