Joining the Backpacking Through Thailand tour is one of the best decisions I've ever made. There aren't any words that come close to summarising my time during the tour, all I can say is I genuinely had THE time of my life. I can't express enough thanks to our three fantastic tour guides Heart, S & Tony for their hard work, dedication and passion they have for their career that truly allowed us to experience the incredible country that is Thailand and have the most fun while we were there. You three are such a credit to the company and three people that I am proud to call my friends. I'd also like to thank Simon and Dan as well for helping to organise the tour behind the scenes and catching some of the best photos I've ever seen! The tour allowed me to experience so many incredible things but the one thing I am most thankful for is allowing me to meet the incredible people that were on the tour with me. Allowing people the opportunity to travel together and make incredible friendships is priceless and I owe a massive thank you to BTT for that! No matter where you are in the world, for 33 people to come together and all appreciate this amazing experience is something very special and something I'll never forget.

Two happy women with leis and luggage arrive in Sri Lanka for a backpacking tour.Sri Lanka

The Backpacking Tour Sri Lanka has been the best experience ever! I arrived in Sri Lanka and from that moment on Dam and Sam took care of everything. I did not have to worry about a thing. They welcomed me with a smile at the airport and took me to the first accommodation in the very comfy van. They made sure that the whole group had a great time. The itinery was a perfect mixture of cultural experieneces, sporty activities (if you want to), relaxing time at the beach and so much more. Dam introduced us to Sri lankan food and explained so many things along the way. His knowledge is incredible. You can really tell that he is passionate about his job and there was not a single question he could not answer.
Our group was also very lucky to have Sam, our driver. He was always there to get our luggage and get us to the next place safley. Both,Sam and Dam were absolutely considerate and would even help with individual requests and if you had a problem they solved it! I absolutely loved my time here, especially the surfing lesson at the beach and the evenings we spent together. We came as strangers and leave as friends- all thanks to Dam and Sam!

Two tourists happily cycle through lush green vegetable fields and traditional houses in Vietnam.Vietnam

I've just completed the Vietnam trip & it was the best 23 days of my life. Huy is such an incredibly kind hearted, funny and knowledgeable guide and looked after us the whole trip. The accommodation was also out of this world - nice hotels, central locations etc. Definitely the most luxurious backpacking trip I've ever done & for a fraction of the cost too. Everything was so well organised from the transport between cities to the daily activities/optional extras. Backpacking tours have really thought of everything! Vietnam is such an amazing and beautiful country & the tour gave me an insight in to places/the culture in a way I could never have done solo. Book this trip, I promise you will not be disappointed!

Well my Backpacking Through Vietnam experience has just ended and the whole trip was just incredible. From the warm welcome and guidance we got from our amazing tour guide Jackie (Huy) to the the luxurious accommodation and fantastic trips provided throughout the beautiful country. The trip was just out of this world. So many different activities and day trips that would make you just fall in love with the beauty of Vietnam and make you experience true Vietnamese culture. I will never forget this trip and I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking to travel to Vietnam. BTV you are the best!
