Most people have heard something about Vietnam, whether that be about the war or the beautiful culture. However, you can't fully understand until you actually set foot in this extraordinary country. BTV with Huy & Pham was the most amazing experience. Their charisma is unending, their knowledge is unceasing and their passion is everlasting. Vietnam is a beautiful, diverse country and it was a pleasure to tour it with these awesome people! ???

I just finished the 12 day Sri Lanka experience. The trip was seamless from start to finish. Big shout out to our group leader, Aerosh Elike. He contacted us a few days before the trip to introduce himself and ask if we had any questions before arriving. He then made contact as I landed to make sure I knew where to go to get my transfer to the accommodation. The tour was busy, but also relaxed. I thought amount of meals included were good, it gave you opportunity to try new foods or seek comfort meals. There were the right amount of activities and our travel days were broken up with some of the activities. The local guides were knowledgeable and approachable and so friendly and kind. They gave a true insight into the culture and lifestyle of Sri Lankan people. Again huge shout out to Aerosh, throughout the trip he was approachable and his communication every evening about what we were doing the next day and what time we had to meet etc was clear. He checked in at every hotel to make sure we were happy and comfortable! Any issue you had he was your man and he would go to the end of the earth to make sure you were happy, safe, healthy and he did it with the biggest smile! If you book this tour and are lucky enough to get Aerosh, you’re in for a good time and you will feel safe and supported throughout! If your thinking of heading to Sri Lanka and want to get a taste and see what the country has to offer definitely look at booking this tour. Any advice, definitely book one night pre accommodation to get yourself settled and post accommodation if you want to spend some extra time relaxing down south at the beach! Tour leaders can help with booking any onward travel or transfers! They are so helpful and knowledgeable!

The best decision I have ever made booking this trip! I had never travelled solo before, but straight away felt like I was travelling with 34 friends. S, Heart & Tony are the nicest people you could meet. They go out of their way to help you with anything you need, and are much more than tour guides! This company would be nothing without them. The tour was the perfect balance of exploring, relaxing and partying. I felt like I did so much more than if I was to travel on my own, and no doubt decide to laze around some days! Everything is organised for you from when you arrive, all you have to do is wake up each morning ready to go!
If like me before I booked, you are reading these reviews still unsure. Just book it!! You will definitely not regret it😁

I can't express enough how much fun I had on the Bali tour with Backpacking Tours! Every day was perfectly planned with just the right mix of activities and free time. Our guide, Supry, knew all the coolest spots – from breathtaking temples hidden in the jungle to the most relaxing beaches. The accommodations were superb, and nothing beats the nightlife they introduced us to. This wasn't just a holiday; it was a series of unforgettable experiences!
