I am so glad that I chose to book BTT! It was such an amazing experience, from learning about Thai culture to getting to know the amazing group of people I was travelling with. It is definitely down to Heart and K, the best tour guides you could ask for. They did everything to make the trip the perfect experience, thank you so much!

As someone who was nervous about traveling I couldn’t recommend this any more for people. After the first day I’d 24 friends and was settled in straight away. The two tour guides K and S are a ray of sunshine. I would make another trip just to see the two guys again anytime they said something I was smiling or laughing and they were always looking out for everyone. The 3 bus drivers were also brilliant, even though they’d little English they still had me laughing and had good fun with them. Book it and enjoy it �

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.

Just finished on the 17 day New Zealand Tour and it was amazing. My group leader Lauren made the experience amazing she was always happy to help and she was really informative about everywhere we were and explained so much about Māori culture. It was my birthday on day 1 and Lauren and the group made the day amazing. I would definitely recommend the north and south trip. I was able to do so many different activities and even managed to jump out of a plane in the north so would definitely recommend the extra activities that can be added to your trip!

Trip of a lifetime. I have never been properly travelling before so when I came across back packing tours I jumped at the opportunity.

I booked the Vietnam tour. The trip has been unbelievable, from the accommodation to the activities but more importantly the people I have meet along the way. It’s the best way to meet new friends and make life long memories.

The tour guide for this trip was Huy and he made the trip even better. he is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and made the tour run extremely smoothly.

If your deciding to book with back packing tours I would strongly recommend best decision I have ever made.
