Absolutely love our 10 day east coast tour with the wonderful Chloe! Everything was well organised, ran to schedule, nice balance of activities and free time. Always felt safe and looked after. Very good value too!

Can’t recommend Backpacking Tours enough for anyone thinking about exploring Bali! Our guide, Supry, was knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely helpful. The itinerary was filled with unique locations that you’d likely miss without a local guide. The accommodations and transportation were top-notch, mixing comfort with authenticity. I left Bali feeling I’d truly experienced all it had to offer, thanks to this fantastic tour!

This tour was a MAJOR bucket list check-off! Bali with Backpacking Tours was an absolute dream. The landscapes were postcard-perfect, our lodgings were cozy and inviting, and our guide, knew exactly where to take us for the best views and experiences. The group dynamics were fantastic; it was like travelling with a family you got to choose. Sad it's over, but I’m looking at their other tours for my next adventure!

Did the Vietnam: Northern Adventures tour and highly recommend. The itinerary was full from start to finish with a great mix of activities. The hotels were comfortable and everything was planned out well, which made the trip so much easier than if we tried to plan it on our own. Our tour guide Sandy was fantastic and went above and beyond, constantly showing us the best Vietnam had to offer. The highlight was when Sandy took us to Paradise Cave, which wasn't originally even scheduled to be on the itinerary. Overall, the quality of the guide, the variety of activities, and the comfortable accommodations made doing this tour an easy decision over trying to plan a two week Vietnam trip on our own. Just make sure to ask for Sandy as your guide!

I've just completed the Vietnam trip & it was the best 23 days of my life. Huy is such an incredibly kind hearted, funny and knowledgeable guide and looked after us the whole trip. The accommodation was also out of this world - nice hotels, central locations etc. Definitely the most luxurious backpacking trip I've ever done & for a fraction of the cost too. Everything was so well organised from the transport between cities to the daily activities/optional extras. Backpacking tours have really thought of everything! Vietnam is such an amazing and beautiful country & the tour gave me an insight in to places/the culture in a way I could never have done solo. Book this trip, I promise you will not be disappointed!

Selina was truly the heart of my trip to Thailand. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure every moment was special, smooth, and unforgettable. Her knowledge, kindness, and genuine passion for what she does made the entire experience feel so personal and meaningful. Thank you khaawp khun
