Backpacking group sharing Balinese dinner together at a long tableIndonesia

My trip to Bali with Backpacking Tours was nothing short of incredible. The comprehensive tour covered everything from the iconic Uluwatu Temple to secluded beaches and local markets. Each day was perfectly balanced with activities and free time, allowing us to soak in the rich Balinese culture and stunning landscapes at our own pace.

I did the 28 days Oz tour and had Erin as my tour leader and she was absolutely incredible! She had so much energy, knowledge and was just full of fun all the time. She really made the trip special. Love you Erin xx

I did the 2 weeks in Northern Vietnam. Our guide Sandy was amazing. This tour was very organized, and with flexibility to accommodate what the group wanted. (For example we wanted to try some Anthony Bourdoin food spots and she made that happen). The accommodation was all very clean and everyone on our trip was very friendly. Our guide helped us translate when needed too.

Two friends embrace in the refreshing emerald pools of Erawan Waterfalls, surrounded by lush jungle.Thailand

Can’t recommended this trip enough! I had the most incredible 3 weeks! Heart and K were amazing tour guides and constantly made us laugh, I can’t thank them enough for everything! coming on my own I was so nervous but those feelings disappeared in 3 seconds, everyone was so lovely and friendly. You see so much of thailand and it definitely worth the money. If you are thinking of doing it, book it now! You won’t regret it.

The holiday of a life time. Couldn’t have asked for better people to share with us the beauty of Vietnam, to teach us about Vietnam’s history, Vietnamese cooking, farming, our tour guides Roy and Juan that warmly welcomed us to their country and that in a short time became our best friends. I had the most remarkable holiday with these guys and with everyone in the group (smashing bunch of people), and not only everything was perfect and so well organized, but I felt in every instance that our guides truly cared about us, and did the best to make this trip memorable. 10 out of 10 BTV, the trip was so well organized , so many activities and tours, plenty of free time to relax , great accommodation and I could go on and on about this trip as it was one to remember. I miss you Roy and Juan and because of you Vietnam will always be so close to my heart ! Xxx

The Croatia tour was SOOO much fun, such a wide variety of stops and activities so really made it very easy to cater to what specific interests people had, whether that be hiking, sightseeing or the nightlife. Becca was incredible, we couldn’t have asked for a better leader for our group and definitely left with friends for life <3
