I recommend this magical experience. I made new friends from all over the world. I felt very satisfied with the work done, I experienced a different month that made me reflect on many things about the life. The friendships were fantastic You have to be able to adapt to a different lifestyle, but there are many people ready to support you. There will be moments of fatigue and stress, but this experience will change your life. If you are ready, I highly recommend this experience.I felt very satisfied with the work done, I experienced a different month that made me reflect on many things. The friendships were fantastic.

The backpacking trip to Bali exceeded our expectations. This was mine and Liam’s first time travelling but the tour guides helped us settle in. All the activities were organised perfectly, the transport to and from each destination was always on time and helped massively with all of the luggage we had. We visited 3 islands on the tour with all boat trips to and from each island included and no problems. We both had an amazing time and met some fantastic people.

The tour guides are extremely helpful and friendly and they are the reason our experience was special. Supry, Ima and Putu made us feel welcome in Bali right from the very start and our only regret is that we cannot stay for longer!

I would strongly recommend anyone to travel with backpacking tours to Bali and other destinations available with the company.

Nina and Liam.

What an epic journey the Vietnam tour was! Managed by Backpacking Tours and led by the legendary guide, Huy, this trip was a blast from start to finish. Huy not only knew his stuff but also knew how to keep the energy up. We covered all the major sights, tried some exotic food, and even had time for a few lazy beach days. Cheers to Huy and the team for this flawless trip!

What an incredible 6 weeks! Being in Thailand for 3 weeks, I have seen and done things I never though I would do. Memories for life.
Our tour guide S and driver Kit have been amazing, making the trip even more special.
Following the Thailand tour, we continued on to the Vietnam tour for a further 3 weeks. Again an incredible experience! Huy (Jackie), our tour guide has been so knowledgeable and an absolute star 🌟
I would 100% recommend backpacking tours Thailand and Vietnam, everything is organised for you from the minute you step off the plane. Activities, accommodation and transport all sorted, no hassle.
Phenomenonal trip, that I will never forget ❤️🇹🇭🇻🇳

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!
