If you are thinking about doing this 3 week Thailand backpacking tour, don’t hesitate it was honestly the most Incredible time!!!
You never try, you never know.
The best way to explore parts of Thailand that you wouldn’t see on your own. Me and my boyfriend only finished our 3 weeks on 21st of June and we both could not recommend the trip enough.
We had the most incredible tour guide S who really made our trip, full of belly laughs with his energy, his story’s, making sure everyone was having a good time, very knowledgeable of Thailand, we didn’t have to worry about anything when it came to checking into lovely hotels, resorts or home stays.
Our bus drivers Arts and benz were always brilliant having the air con on the bus, taking us safely to loads of different places and never had to wait around on them, helpful always with our luggage, taking pictures (to remember all the incredible memories) getting involved on our nights out and group games, always up for the laugh.
Not forgetting the amazing people, forever friendships that’s were made and memories throughout the 3 weeks 🫶🏼
Best experience ever!!!
See you next year for the Vietnam trip backpacking!!

We spent 12 days with Stacia as our tour guide, and it was incredibly well-organized from the very beginning! Whether it was the airport pickup or even just a band-aid, Stacia always made time and had everything perfectly under control. There was so much to experience, and I surfed, snorkeled, and dived for the first time – things I probably would never have tried otherwise! I met wonderful people, and Stacia showed me Indonesia as a friendly and incredibly beautiful country! I will definitely be back. It was a plesure to meet Indonesia at the first time with this wonderful Tour.

Had an amazing adventure travelling Vietnam with Backpacking Tours this summer. Our tour guide Huy was so knowledgeable, kind and great craic! I’ve met some fantastic people whilst doing the tour and loved every excursion, experience and meal that Vietnam had to offer!

So sad that the tour ended, Ive made so many fond memories from my time with Backpacking Tours that I will cherish forever

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. I would 100% do this tour again and hope to go on and do more with ye in the future 🙃 made the best of friends and life long memories!
White riceeeee for life 🎉

My experience in Zanzibar was quite unique. I discovered a paradise-like island with white sand beatches and blue water. But what I remember the most was the people of Zanzibar: the nicest persons I have never met. They are so friendly and adorable, always smiling, singing a nice song with "Hakuna Matata" or dancing, in brief enjoying life. You will be part of the local life very easily with them.

I definitly recommend this experience !
