I have just finished the 28 day Aus East Coast Tour and had the best time. Our tour leader Hannah was great and super helpful throughout the whole trip. Would highly recommend!

This was the most amazing experience of my life, only heightened by the enthusiasm of the two greatest tour guides S and K. Endless amounts of fun, never ending partying, spotless accommodation, I seen parts of Thailand that you would never even think of traveling If you didn’t go with BTT, overall the value for money is outstanding. I travelled with one person and left with 26 new family members, who made memories that’ll last forever. If your on two minds about booking with BTT don’t think just do it. You won’t regret it. ��

Stacia has been the BEST group leader we could have ever wished for!! She has made it so much fun and she has been very helpful with all of the information about our daily plans and also helped us with anything we needed at any point during our tour and went over and beyond to help even after the tour ended to organise my onward travel. The organisation from start to finish has been perfect and all of the different places we stayed have been beautiful. My top 3 activites were Surfing, The Family Visit and Snorkelling but every single day and every activity we have done has been so much fun it is difficult to pick the best!! It has been a trip of a lifetime!! 💖

The 17 day tour of Japan was a trip of a lifetime with many thanks to our group leader Lachie! He effortlessly brought us around Japan allowing us to switch off our brains and fully enjoy the experience. He used his history knowledge to give us greater insight into the places we visited (Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka, etc). And lastly, he ensured that everyone felt included and was tapped into how the group felt as a whole which is a vital skill for this profession. I couldn't recommend this trip more ☺️

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!

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!
