Backpacking group enjoying dinner together at a Balinese restaurantIndonesia

Just returned from a fantastic trip with Backpacking Bali! The tour included beautiful temples, vibrant markets, and some amazing beach spots. The itinerary was well-paced with plenty of time to explore each location thoroughly. An absolute must for travelers.

Backpacking Thailand 21 DaysThailand

Did the backpacking Thailand tour and it was incredible. There were so many great activities and we saw some stunning places. S was our tour guide and he was honestly the best

My only regret is not doing this sooner! Just back from three weeks in Bali and had the most incredible time. The tour guides are great and go out their way at all times to ensure you’re having the best possible time. We covered everything on the itinerary and we’re even able to add in extra activities on our free days that the tour guides kindly took us to. At 31 I was anxious to be the oldest in the group, but we were all so likeminded that this was never an issue and I will absolutely be doing another tour in the future.

Visitors show respect with a traditional wai gesture before a golden Buddha statue in Bangkok.Thailand

This trip with Backpacking Tours has been phenomenal. S was an outstanding guide who treated us like family and made sure we saw the best of Thailand. Their local knowledge was invaluable, and their friendly demeanour made all the difference. The trip was the perfect blend of excitement and relaxation, with everything organised to the highest standard. Truly a top-quality tour.

Went on 17 day tour of Japan with the Adam Pyzer as the guide. Only positive things to say about the experience and Adam. Consistent and clear communication throughout with, interesting knowledge scattered in between. Adam was keeping everyone in the group involved during the tour. And also assisted everyone with their plans post tour. Had a great time.

Two travelers gaze at the majestic Sigiriya Lion Rock, surrounded by lush green landscape.Sri Lanka

I joined the Sri Lanka Backpacking Tour in February 2023 and had an amazing time. We travelled the island for 14 days and saw all the highlights along the way. My personal favorites included snorkeling with turtles, climbing Sigiriya rock, seeing elephants on a safari, cooking with natives and going surfing. But to be fair, every day had a different highlight, so it‘s hard to pick… The organization of the trip was great: Our tour guide Dam and our driver Sam navigated us safely across the island and shared interesting facts. The accommodations were fine and the food was excellent. I am very grateful for all the experiences and can only recommend this tour!
