Amazing trip to South Africa 🇿🇦 with our even more amazing tour guide Liezl. This trip has been the perfect mix of culture, excitement, laughter and new experiences! I loved and will never forget the safaris! There is an option in Hlane Royal National Park to do a Rhino walk and I would 100% recommend! You get out the jeep and walk up close, definitely do it!!! And our group leader sets a very high standard. Liezl is kind, extremely caring, funny, organised and will do anything for her guests!! You need batteries, Liezl literally ran to get them for me!! You not happy with something, Liezl will take care of it!! Liezl will make sure you have the best trip ever but she sets the bar high now for other guides! Thankyou Liezl for everything, keep being you and never change!! Would 100% recommend this trip! You will not regret it and will make memories for a lifetime!!

I have just got back from the most incredible 3 weeks in Thailand.
If you’re debating whether to go on a tour with this company, DO IT! I was quite scared about the idea of going alone at first but it is by far the best decision I have made. I immediately felt so safe and welcome by everyone as I was lucky to be in a group with amazing people who all got along so well.
The tour guide, S, was the best tour guide possible and I can’t think of anything he could do to be any better. He was always there to have a laugh and boost your energy (new battery!) but also made you feel so looked after and safe. I will forever be grateful to S for this amazing tour and the memories he’s given us and can’t wait to see him again.
The variety of activities suited everyone and there was enough free time to do extra stuff in smaller groups.
I couldn’t recommend the Thailand tour enough.
Great country, great tour, great people and a great tour guide ❤️

Just book it! I did the Thailand tour last year so had high expectations for Vietnam and it was incredible. Our tour guides Roy and Juan were top-class, 'knowledgeable, fun and caring'. We're now family for life.The transport, accommodation, food and activities were all of high standard and I loved the opportunities of free time in this action-packed tour of Vietnam. Looking forward to the Bali tour next. Thanks guys for a trip of a lifetime. Denis O'Malley, Ireland.

I loved every second of the experience with Backpacking Through Thailand, it was amazing from start to finish. I couldn't recommend it more to anyone, if anyone who wants to book has doubts just don't and get it booked. The tour guides S, Heart and Tony made the experience even more special I miss them so much and have only been home 2 weeks. I stayed places and done things I would never have been able to do if I went to Thailand on my own travelling. There was 35 people on my tour and it couldn't have been a better group to be with, met so many amazing people that I definitely will see again. I am also looking at booking another tour, Backpacking Through Vietnam because of how amazing this tour was but my favourite part definitely had to be the elephant sanctuary and the open zoo.

If anyone has any questions about the tour I would be happy to help because I will never be able to tell anyone how amazing the tour was �

Beste Möglichkeit Sri Lanka zu erkunden – tolles Land mit wundervollen Menschen. Unsere Reiseleiter Dam und Sam haben die Reise zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis gemacht. Sie haben für jeden Einzelnen ihr Bestes gegeben und uns eine tolle Zeit ermöglicht. Wir würden rundum umsorgt und mussten uns um nichts sorgen. Super Mix an Aktivitäten. Absolut empfehlenswerte Tour!

My experience on the 28 east coast OZ tour has been amazing, this tour has shown the best snippets of the east coast which has been great to experience in a group! Special mention to Erin and Jess who have been such supportive group leaders. They have put so much effort into this tour! Couldn’t be happier xx
