Travelling through Thailand with Backpacking Tours was an absolute treat. The guide, S, was fantastic, always going above and beyond to ensure we all had the best time. His knowledge of Thai culture and history was impressive and made our visits to each site even more meaningful. The tour itself was well-paced, with just the right mix of activities and downtime. Loved every minute!

Stacia has been the BEST group leader we could have ever wished for!! She has made it so much fun and she has been very helpful with all of the information about our daily plans and also helped us with anything we needed at any point during our tour and went over and beyond to help even after the tour ended to organise my onward travel. The organisation from start to finish has been perfect and all of the different places we stayed have been beautiful. My top 3 activites were Surfing, The Family Visit and Snorkelling but every single day and every activity we have done has been so much fun it is difficult to pick the best!! It has been a trip of a lifetime!! 💖

Overall, I felt very well prepared before starting my trip. I felt very well supported throughout the duration of my volunteer experience by the local team. What a great group of hard working individuals! I continue to reflect on the level of eagerness and interest demonstrated by the students, children, teens and adults. Children attended the classes despite being on school break! My favourite moment was hearing students call out my name while walking about in the village following my volunteer teaching experience. I couldn't believe they remembered my name. This trip generated a renewed sense of gratitude for all things available to me at home. If you are thinking about volunteering, go for it! You won't regret it and will only grow from the experience.

Did the 17 day travel in Japan with the best groupleader ever: Adam Pyzer. Give it a 5 out of 5. He was always very caring and very well prepared. We had the best time ever!

Going on the Vietnam tour was one of the best decisions I've made. From the seamless itinerary to the knowledgeable and friendly guide, Huy, everything was perfect. The tour felt very personal and well catered to our group. It’s clear that quality was a priority, and it showed in the excellent planning and execution. Definitely recommend for an unforgettable adventure.
