Without a doubt the best holiday I have and may ever experience as whatever I do next has got a very high bar to top ...... if your reading this and considering booking this trip then just stop! And do it you won't regret it : )

I have just completed the 17 day Japan Experience and had the best time! Adam was an amazing group leader and always went above and beyond to ensure that the group were having the best time! He is a natural at his job role and his hard work behind the scenes was evident throughout. Adam always ensured that my dietary requirements were addressed. Japan is definitely possible for veggies/vegans, but I would recommend doing your own research beforehand and always having a stash of snacks in your backpack for the times when it’s a little trickier to find suitable options! Overall, I would highly recommend this tour :)

What an experience it has been! So happy I signed up to do the tour such a great way to make new friends and explore Vietnam in depth. The places we have visited have been amazing and our tour guide Jackie has made sure we experienced the very best. The hotels and transport was all spot on and we never had to wait for a bus once!

I would highly recommend coming on the Vietnam tour, it’s been one of it not the best experiences of my life and I would do it again in a heart beat

Thank you again Jackie!

I have recently finished the NZ 17 day trip and had the trip of a lifetime! Our tour leader Faye was amazing from start to finish and everything was organised so well for us. There were lots of activities included which really made the trip! A personal highlight was Milford sound 🤩

Mish is the best she kept us all safe for 17 days in New Zealand. She made the trip so enjoyable would highly recommend her as a group leader.

Most people have heard something about Vietnam, whether that be about the war or the beautiful culture. However, you can't fully understand until you actually set foot in this extraordinary country. BTV with Huy & Pham was the most amazing experience. Their charisma is unending, their knowledge is unceasing and their passion is everlasting. Vietnam is a beautiful, diverse country and it was a pleasure to tour it with these awesome people! ???
