Two happy women relaxing in the emerald pools of Erawan Waterfalls in Thailand.Thailand

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 ❤️

After having an amazing time with BTT, I wasn’t sure if BTV could be anywhere near as good. But I am SO glad I booked on. We had an incredible 23 days, with an amazing group, the perfect mix of activities and our brilliant tour guides - Roy & Juan. I’d strongly recommend you come on this life-changing, fun and adventurous tour. Thank you BTV!

The most unforgettable 3 weeks! I would highly recommend BTT to anyone who is looking to explore Thailand, meet new people and have tons of fun. Our tour guides, S and Heart, were more than I could ever ask for. They're extremely knowledgable, energetic, organised and caring. The tour is jam packed with amazing things to see and do everyday and opportunities that I would of missed out on if I did it alone! Thank you for the memories BTT ��

Backpacking Tours nailed it with our Sri Lanka visit! Dam and Sam were fantastic, making sure every aspect of the tour was lush. Great vibes and incredible sights, all seamless and stress-free. They’re the best in the biz!

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!!
