Sri Lanka was a total blast, thanks to Backpacking Tours and our fab guides, Dam and Sam! Superb attention to detail and heaps of local knowledge. Safe, fun, and totally engaging. You'd be daft not to book with them!

The Vietnam Tour with Backpacking Tours was absolutely phenomenal, thanks to our wonderful guide, Huy. Over 23 days, we experienced the raw beauty and complex history of Vietnam. Huy's efforts and his fun, kind-hearted nature enriched our travels and activities, making every moment memorable. With diverse landscapes and modes of travel, this tour offers excellent value and a comprehensive Vietnamese experience.

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!

I recently completed the 17 day New Zealand tour. My group leader was Niamh, she was incredible. Everything was organised and sorted, we always had the most amazing experiences. By far the best tour I have done, everyday was filled with activities and Niamh made every moment memorable

I had zero travel experience before deciding to volunteer in Madagascar, and even with that I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. There was never a time where I felt unsafe or scared. On weekends, we had the opportunity to see and do so many amazing things. My projects were worthwhile and meaningful to the community. Also, I met some amazing people that I can now consider lifelong friends. This experience was worth everything and more.
