Backpacking group crossing red Huc Bridge at Hoan Kiem LakeVietnam

Highly recommended.

Just finished the Vietnam tour. This is my second tour with Backpacking tours and both tours have been excellent.
The tours are well organised and a good way to see a country without having to worry about anything. Even on free days the guides can recommend activities and get involved themselves.
Thanks to Roy for being an excellent tour guide on the Vietnam tour and thanks to Heart, S and K for the Thailand tour.

Well what can I say I have the Thailand blues only been back 3days from the March tour but this trip was the best with the best tour guides K ,Tony and Heart they were amazing and made trip more adventurous there wasn't a dull moment with them. BTT tour was very organised from day to day trips and accommodation as well as the transport. I would recommend this to anyone who is travelling on their own and it will inspire me to go on other tours with the company. I also made some life long friends thanks for thus BBT

I had the most wonderful experience exploring Thailand with our guides, Heart and K. They went above and beyond the call of duty for us all with their kindness, knowledge and caring personalities. It was also great to meet great likeminded people and friends for life. I will be highly recommending using this company to any of my friends and family in the future. I also hope to join another tour in the future. Thank you Heart and K for making summer 2018 one to remember for a lifetime. ❤️❤️

My experience in Zanzibar was quite unique. I discovered a paradise-like island with white sand beatches and blue water. But what I remember the most was the people of Zanzibar: the nicest persons I have never met. They are so friendly and adorable, always smiling, singing a nice song with "Hakuna Matata" or dancing, in brief enjoying life. You will be part of the local life very easily with them.

I definitly recommend this experience !

My highlight from the volunteer experience was swimming at the beach with all the kids. The biggest impact my volunteering trip had on me was seeing how grateful and happy all the kids and people in Fiji are all the time even though they don’t have much makes me realise how much we take for granted. My advice is just do it it’s a lifetime experience you’ll never forgot and you’ll want to do it again .

Did the Vietnam: Northern Adventures tour and highly recommend. The itinerary was full from start to finish with a great mix of activities. The hotels were comfortable and everything was planned out well, which made the trip so much easier than if we tried to plan it on our own. Our tour guide Sandy was fantastic and went above and beyond, constantly showing us the best Vietnam had to offer. The highlight was when Sandy took us to Paradise Cave, which wasn't originally even scheduled to be on the itinerary. Overall, the quality of the guide, the variety of activities, and the comfortable accommodations made doing this tour an easy decision over trying to plan a two week Vietnam trip on our own. Just make sure to ask for Sandy as your guide!
