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 just did the 3 week Thailand tour and had the time of my life. I made friends for life and memories I will never forget. Big thank you to our tour guides S & K for making it such a fun trip! Will definitely return to Thailand. Thank you!!!

The Croatia tour was SOOO much fun, such a wide variety of stops and activities so really made it very easy to cater to what specific interests people had, whether that be hiking, sightseeing or the nightlife. Becca was incredible, we couldn’t have asked for a better leader for our group and definitely left with friends for life <3

It was an amazing experience going to Vietnam for over 3 weeks! There are so many beautiful places you go on the tour. But the best part is the people you meet. We had an amazing group with a top class tour guide, Roy! He made sure we got to go to all the good spots on the trip will having a great time with the whole group! I would definitely recommend doing the backpacking through Vietnam tour!

I am just back after finishing the December, Backpacking through Thailand tour, and it has been the been the best three weeks of my life.
The tour is so well planned out, and you don’t have to think of anything, just pack a bag and turn up in Bangkok.
All of the accommodation and activities were amazing and such a fun.
The tour guides Heart and S, are the best and are so amazing and skilled at their jobs.
I would recommend this trip to anyone, and I’m currently looking in to booking my next trip with Backpacking tours.

Three happy friends smiling for a selfie on a sandy beach in Bali.Indonesia

I spent 18 days in Bali and I cannot recommend this tour more❤️Massive thank you to our tour guides Paddy and Song for making the trip so memorable and sharing all their experience and knowledge with us - both of yous have become my second family❤️We followed everything on the itinerary and even had the opportunity to do extra activities if we wanted! I travelled solo and not once did I feel like I was travelling alone. My only regret is not doing the trip sooner!!
