Absolutely amazing tour! Can not recommend it enough. We travelled so much of Thailand and didn’t not have to worry about a single thing thanks to our amazing tour guides, K and Heart. Thailand is such a beautiful country and we learnt so much about the culture which we wouldn’t have done if we’d gone on our own. If you’re on the edge of booking, do it! It’s well worth the money.

The reviews from Jacqui Sankey and Abbie Harriet below my post sum up everything I would have said! However I’d also like to point out that the trip is everything you expect and more ✨ on paper I thought that the trip looked too good to be true but honestly it was incredible! It was a great mix of activities, sight-seeing, culture and partying. Thank you so much to Heart, K and Daniel for everything 🤗

Having done the BTV tour early last year given the beyond amazing time I had I knew the BTC tour with this company would deliver and guess what!? IT DID!!!!! Gotta give a big shout out to Jhony and S our two tour guides that made the experience that much better! I can’t say enough about this company! Totally recommend using this company if your looking for the perfect combination of culture , sights and partying!!! Such a good time!!!!

Did the 17 day travel in Japan with the best groupleader ever: Adam Pyzer. Give it a 5 out of 5. He was always very caring and very well prepared. We had the best time ever!

Amazing trip to South Africa 🇿🇦 with our even more amazing tour guide Liezl. This trip has been the perfect mix of culture, excitement, laughter and new experiences! I loved and will never forget the safaris! There is an option in Hlane Royal National Park to do a Rhino walk and I would 100% recommend! You get out the jeep and walk up close, definitely do it!!! And our group leader sets a very high standard. Liezl is kind, extremely caring, funny, organised and will do anything for her guests!! You need batteries, Liezl literally ran to get them for me!! You not happy with something, Liezl will take care of it!! Liezl will make sure you have the best trip ever but she sets the bar high now for other guides! Thankyou Liezl for everything, keep being you and never change!! Would 100% recommend this trip! You will not regret it and will make memories for a lifetime!!

Vietnam has stolen my heart, all thanks to the fantastic Backpacking Through Vietnam tour! Our guide, Huy, was perfect - caring, enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable. The places we visited were stunning, and the activities were fun and well-organized. The group dynamics were great, and I've made friends I'll keep for a lifetime. Kudos to Backpacking Tours and Huy for designing such an engaging and comprehensive tour. Highly recommended!
