Not only was the itinerary jam packed with so many amazing experiences that I will truly cherish forever but the tour guides went above and beyond to make sure every single person had a wonderful time. I've already recommended BTT to everyone I know and will continue to do so, they are the first tour group I will look up the next time I book my travels.

I did the 28 days Oz tour and had Erin as my tour leader and she was absolutely incredible! She had so much energy, knowledge and was just full of fun all the time. She really made the trip special. Love you Erin xx

Took the Vietnam tour with Backpacking Tours and wow, just wow! Huy, our guide, was a fountain of knowledge and the most enthusiastic person you'll ever meet. He made sure we soaked in all the cultural gems and hidden spots. The tour was well-organized, punctual, and every day was a new adventure. Highly recommend for anyone looking to dive deep into Vietnam's beauty with a top-quality tour company. Absolutely worth every penny!

Faye Lewis ❤️ The best travel tour guide. I recently joined the 17 day New Zealand and whilst apprehensive about joining a tour, it turned out to be the trip of a lifetime. Faye was extremely organised and the whole experience was extremely smooth. You can tell she is very passionate about her job and made the whole experience for me. She wasn’t only just your guide but your friend as well and I will miss her a lot. Faye was always approachable and ready for any tips of the local area on restaurants, activities and any hidden spots worth visiting. I can’t pick a favourite moment as the whole trip was amazing and I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone wanting to join. Thank you again Faye 🫶🏻
