Four men on a guided city tour in San Jos es, pointing at a vibrant yellow historic building.Costa Rica

I did the Costa Rica tour. Mari was our tour guide and went above and beyond. Her knowledge was incredible and the extra effort and care she put in daily was truly amazing and appreciated. She knew everything about the destinations, cuisine and culture. Truly was the best guide and especially being Ceoliac I never once felt uneasy of eating something as Mari was always there to make sure things were gluten free options and made sure I never felt left out and there was always options. Literally cannot say enough amazing things regarding our guide as Mari really did become like a friend on this trip. If anyone gets Mari as a tour guide they are truly lucky as I believe I had such a good time due to her energy and personality that was added.

I have booked 3 tours and I have just finished my first in Vietnam. You couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable and helpful tour guide. All my questions were answered swiftly before hand. And my Vietnam tour was exactly as advertised

Vietnam is a stunning country, and exploring it with Huy from Backpacking Tours was an absolute pleasure. He made sure we experienced the authenticity of each location, from historical landmarks to local eateries. His passion for Vietnam and its culture was contagious and added so much value to our journey.

Absolutely 100% the best thing I've done! 👌🏼 Any expectation I had about traveling solo to meet a group of strangers has changed completely! Lots of new friends made and a lot of memories made with each and every one!
3 weeks in paradise and not to mention two of the greatest guys I could of asked for to guide us round! S and Heart made the some of my down days (from being homesick or hungover) into the best days! There was abit of everything in this trip from the hustle and bustling nights out and bartering at local markets to sitting in the peaceful silence in a floating bungalow which was surreal! If you're contemplating doing this trip, just do it! 👌🏼❤️
