Honestly I can't put in to words how amazing the tour was. I've wanted to go to Thailand for years and the itinery put together by the company was perfect. Surpassed my expectations. S and K were amazing tour guides, kind, funny and caring. I felt very well looked after throughout the tour. 3rd August tour group became a little family. Thailand will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you BTT for making it an incredible experience. 100% recommend to anyone to book this tour 😊🤗

BTT, you guys rock! The Thailand tour was everything I hoped for and more. K and Heart were phenomenal - their knowledge and enthusiasm made all the difference. We saw incredible sights, enjoyed delicious food, and met the best people. This tour is a must-do for anyone wanting to explore Thailand with fun, safe, and knowledgeable guides. Thanks for an unforgettable adventure!

Sri Lanka Tour - what an incredible country and a great way to see almost all of it! Dam & Sam really made the trip an incredible experience and helped teach us all so much about their beautiful world! Never without an answer to any question as much as I tried!! Couldn’t recommend them more! Miss the pair already feel like I’ve left family behind!

Just completed the 17 day adventure tour around NZ. It was amazing, I had the best time and met some lovely people along the way and made some lifelong friends. Selina, our travel leader, was amazing. She was so bubbly and energetic and really bought immense joy to the group. She worked really hard to ensure everything was planned and sorted for us to enjoy our days smoothly and thought of such fun ideas for the evenings. I feel like I’ve found a true friend in her, and was really good at including everyone in, ensuring nobody was left out. This whole adventure has been nothing but incredible and I will really miss it a lot, and all the people. Thank you.
