Did the Vietnam: Northern Adventures tour and highly recommend. The itinerary was full from start to finish with a great mix of activities. The hotels were comfortable and everything was planned out well, which made the trip so much easier than if we tried to plan it on our own. Our tour guide Sandy was fantastic and went above and beyond, constantly showing us the best Vietnam had to offer. The highlight was when Sandy took us to Paradise Cave, which wasn't originally even scheduled to be on the itinerary. Overall, the quality of the guide, the variety of activities, and the comfortable accommodations made doing this tour an easy decision over trying to plan a two week Vietnam trip on our own. Just make sure to ask for Sandy as your guide!

Backpacking through Thailand has been one of the most incredible experiences so far. If you want an experience like no other, with guides such as Heart, Kay & S, they will really embrace you into this amazing experience, look no further! Would highly recommend!

Just completed the 17 day adventure tour around NZ. It was amazing, I had the best time and met some lovely people along the way and made some lifelong friends. Selina, our travel leader, was amazing. She was so bubbly and energetic and really bought immense joy to the group. She worked really hard to ensure everything was planned and sorted for us to enjoy our days smoothly and thought of such fun ideas for the evenings. I feel like I’ve found a true friend in her, and was really good at including everyone in, ensuring nobody was left out. This whole adventure has been nothing but incredible and I will really miss it a lot, and all the people. Thank you.

Loved my time with BTV! Cant recommend Vietnam and the tour enough, such a beautiful country filled with culture, scenery and some of the happiest and most inspirational people I've ever met. BTV was a great way to experience it all that I'd never have got doing it alone.



Our guides (and new friends) Roy and Juan were phenomenal, couldn't of dreamt of getting anyone better. They took care of everything we needed and were full of knowledge about history, culture, bars/restaurants and anything else you could possibly wish to know about Vietnam. Not only that but many laughs, drinks and fun times were shared. I can't thank them enough for the experiences in Vietnam, I'll definitely be back!
