I've just completed the 17 day Japan trip and I wanted to say a big thank you to Charlie for such an amazing trip, I had so much fun and I'm sure everyone else did too. It wouldn't have run so smoothly without your expert guidance and support throughout the trip. Thank you for being such an amazing leader, and keep up the great work!

In my opinion this tour is the best way to travel Thailand! You get to see so much of Thailand as well has have plenty of time to chill and do your own thing. My tour guides S and Jhony were so much fun and were always available to answer any questions! You get to meet people from all across the world and over the three weeks you become like a family! Highly recommend this tour!

Recently wrapped up the Vietnam tour with Backpacking Tours, and I have to say, it surpassed my expectations! The organisation was top-notch, and our guide, Huy, was outstanding. His passion for his country and his job made our experiences all the more rich and enjoyable. Every location was packed with charm and history, and the accommodations were splendid. Definitely a high-quality, high-fun trip!

Did not expect to love Cambodia as much as I do and it was completely down to having such a great group and an incredible group leader. Logan S and Ryan were the perfect balance of guiding, educational, fun and full of energy. Logan’s love for Cambodia and his job made the trip amazing - I wish it was 10 days longer! The trip brings together the history of Cambodia and really showcases what the country has come from and here it’s heading - I can’t wait to come back.

I recommend this magical experience. I made new friends from all over the world. I felt very satisfied with the work done, I experienced a different month that made me reflect on many things about the life. The friendships were fantastic You have to be able to adapt to a different lifestyle, but there are many people ready to support you. There will be moments of fatigue and stress, but this experience will change your life. If you are ready, I highly recommend this experience.I felt very satisfied with the work done, I experienced a different month that made me reflect on many things. The friendships were fantastic.
