The Backpacking through Thailand tour was everything you could ever imagine about visiting Thailand. Everything on the tour was always well planned and laid out for us to optimize our sightseeing opportunities. Our tour guides Heart, Tony, and K, not to mention were fantastic, energetic, fun people. If you want an experience of a lifetime I would highly recommend going through this touring company as you will not be disappointed!
Thank you BTT <3

The best part about joining the Fiji program was being in the community with the locals and playing sport with people my age was beyond amazing. My advice is just do it. A once in a life time opportunity and you will regret it if you don’t.

This tour was the best, so much fun and so well organised. The tour guides Heart, Tony and K were amazing, so caring and the best craic 🤣 They never failed, always had us laughing. They are an absolute credit to the tour always making us feel safe and ok. The tour itself is amazing, so much to it things I never thought I would have done.

Whether young or older this is a fabulous programme. If you want to mix with a lovely community, work alongside amazing people and experience the wonder of helping beautiful creatures then this is for you. Tough, rewarding and a forever memory. Just be prepared to get stuck in, work as a team and soak up every moment. I had the pleasure of working alongside fellow volunteers who I remain in contact with. We all share the desire to return to the island to meet again. Be prepared to meet people who will make you a better person :)

I have just finished the 17 day NZ Adventure tour and had the most amazing experience! I met some amazing people on the tour that have become true friends, I am so sad that this tour has come to an end it was the best experience. Selena was our tour guide and she was absolutely incredible, bringing the energy from start to finish and making sure we had the best time, ensuring everyone was always included and coming up with some super fun creative evening activities, she was all round an absolutely amazing group leader and I would recommend her tours to everyone.

So worth the cost, the organisation is all done for you but in a way that activities are optional and you have free time too so you don’t feel pressured into anything but everything that is planned is so fun! Finished Colombia with Carolina and got to know so much more about the country than if we’d done it solo!
