Relaxing on an orange float in the clear turquoise waters of Phuket under a bright blue sky.Thailand

Absolutely amazing tour! Can not recommend it enough. We travelled so much of Thailand and didn’t not have to worry about a single thing thanks to our amazing tour guides, K and Heart. Thailand is such a beautiful country and we learnt so much about the culture which we wouldn’t have done if we’d gone on our own. If you’re on the edge of booking, do it! It’s well worth the money.

Had an incredible time on the Vietnam tour thanks to Backpacking Tours. Everything was arranged perfectly, making it easy to enjoy the stunning sights and sounds of Vietnam without any stress. Huy was a fantastic guide who took great care of us and showed us the best of what Vietnam has to offer. Highly recommend if you're looking for a high-quality touring experience with personal touches!

Quite an experience to see such a big difference in culture. Also our guide Sherry did her very best to help everyone and to make sure everyone had a good time. Every morning she is waiting with a smile until the group is complete. Thanks again!

I've just completed the 17 day Japan trip and I wanted to say a big thank you to Charlie for such an amazing trip, I had so much fun and I'm sure everyone else did too. It wouldn't have run so smoothly without your expert guidance and support throughout the trip. Thank you for being such an amazing leader, and keep up the great work!
