Joyful visitors and elephants share a muddy play session at a natural sanctuary in Thailand.Thailand

Absolutely 100% the best thing I've done! 👌🏼 Any expectation I had about traveling solo to meet a group of strangers has changed completely! Lots of new friends made and a lot of memories made with each and every one!
3 weeks in paradise and not to mention two of the greatest guys I could of asked for to guide us round! S and Heart made the some of my down days (from being homesick or hungover) into the best days! There was abit of everything in this trip from the hustle and bustling nights out and bartering at local markets to sitting in the peaceful silence in a floating bungalow which was surreal! If you're contemplating doing this trip, just do it! 👌🏼❤️

This is literally the best way to see some beautiful places and meet some incredible people! Have never travelled solo before, so was very nervous but straight away felt comfortable. Couldn’t of asked for better tour guides than Heart and S, they’re constantly making sure everyone is okay and having a great time. Was so sad to leave but has encouraged me to want to travel more!

Well my Backpacking Through Vietnam experience has just ended and the whole trip was just incredible. From the warm welcome and guidance we got from our amazing tour guide Jackie (Huy) to the the luxurious accommodation and fantastic trips provided throughout the beautiful country. The trip was just out of this world. So many different activities and day trips that would make you just fall in love with the beauty of Vietnam and make you experience true Vietnamese culture. I will never forget this trip and I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking to travel to Vietnam. BTV you are the best!

Backpacking Tours did an outstanding job with our Bali tour. Each day was planned to perfection, allowing us to enjoy both the well-known attractions and the island's hidden spots. Their attention to detail and the warm hospitality provided by the guides made it a trip of a lifetime.

Silhouetted surfers enjoy the beautiful sunset over the calm ocean in Lombok.Indonesia

Can’t recommend Backpacking Tours enough for anyone thinking about exploring Bali! Our guide, Supry, was knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely helpful. The itinerary was filled with unique locations that you’d likely miss without a local guide. The accommodations and transportation were top-notch, mixing comfort with authenticity. I left Bali feeling I’d truly experienced all it had to offer, thanks to this fantastic tour!

I had the most amazing time on this tour. Our guide Priya was the absolute best. She gave us amazing recommendations and taught us so much about Korean history and culture. I would 100% recommend this tour for first time travellers to South Korea
