I had the most amazing time on this tour. Our guide Priya was the absolute best. She gave us amazing recommendations and taught us so much about Korean history and culture. I would 100% recommend this tour for first time travellers to South Korea

Just returned from the most amazing two weeks in Costa Rica! The perfect balance of adventure, wildlife (so many sloths!!) and chill beach time, with an instant group of new friends for solo travellers like me. Our tour leader Mari was brilliant at creating a fun but safe environment, and we all had an amazing trip thanks to her.
For anyone travelling solo, don't be afraid to book the trip!

Goin on this tour has been one of the best experiences in my life. The activities are awesome, the guides heart (Peerapong Plianpoom), S (Kasidit Ngernbaht) and K (Kriangsak Rangmookda) are really fun, make you feel welcome and our very knowledgeable.

The best part of doing this tour is you get meet and make friends with 30+ people who are also on tour with you. I couldn't think of a better way to travel Thailand.

Honestly can’t put into words what an incredible experience this was! Made memories that’ll last a life time and met some great people who I now consider friends for life! Also this trip wouldn’t be anywhere near as good if it wasn’t for tour guides S and K, so huge credit and a massive thank you to both of them! Thailand, it’s been a blast!

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

Loved my time with BTV! Cant recommend Vietnam and the tour enough, such a beautiful country filled with culture, scenery and some of the happiest and most inspirational people I've ever met. BTV was a great way to experience it all that I'd never have got doing it alone.



Our guides (and new friends) Roy and Juan were phenomenal, couldn't of dreamt of getting anyone better. They took care of everything we needed and were full of knowledge about history, culture, bars/restaurants and anything else you could possibly wish to know about Vietnam. Not only that but many laughs, drinks and fun times were shared. I can't thank them enough for the experiences in Vietnam, I'll definitely be back!
