IndonesiaWe done the Bali 12 day tour with Andre as our tour guide it was an amazing trip and he was so helpful throughout the whole trip helped with any issues or illnesses that went on with the trip and all future travel. 100% recommend
ThailandHad the best time on my Thailand tour thanks to Backpacking Tours! Our guide, S, was incredible - always going the extra mile to ensure we had a memorable experience. From lush jungles and pristine beaches to bustling city markets, every day was a new adventure. It was perfect, no worries at all, just pure enjoyment. Highly recommend booking your trip with them!
ThailandI had the most wonderful experience exploring Thailand with our guides, Heart and K. They went above and beyond the call of duty for us all with their kindness, knowledge and caring personalities. It was also great to meet great likeminded people and friends for life. I will be highly recommending using this company to any of my friends and family in the future. I also hope to join another tour in the future. Thank you Heart and K for making summer 2018 one to remember for a lifetime. ❤️❤️
ThailandThis trip with Backpacking Tours has been phenomenal. S was an outstanding guide who treated us like family and made sure we saw the best of Thailand. Their local knowledge was invaluable, and their friendly demeanour made all the difference. The trip was the perfect blend of excitement and relaxation, with everything organised to the highest standard. Truly a top-quality tour.
Absolutely wonderful tour group with amazing reps. Go see for yourselves. �
Chank youuuuuuuu miss you all xxx
IndiaA very enjoyable tour covering a great distance around north India. It was a great insight into multiple locations across north India, getting to explore local culture and cuisine.
ThailandThis trip was truly was amazing. Our tour guides S and Heart were the greatest and they took care of everything and really made the trip something special. They showed us how beautiful Thailand really is and what an incredible country it is with so much to see and do!
I also got to meet an amazing group of people and have made a lot of new friends who I know will be friends forever!
I really loved the whole 3 weeks; thanks for everything BTT!
ThailandExperiencie BTT will definitely change your life.
Don’t think too much before book it. Once in your life, you must do this!
The manager Daniel helped me in the
process before and during the trip, about any question you have, don’t hesitate to ask him that he will answer you immediately.
About the tour guide , Heart is my favorite.
***** 5 stars guys!
Thank you! ♥️
This trip was one of the best things I've ever done! I found it hard to believe it was real when booking it because all the reviews made it seem too good to be true! But now I understand why it has so many fantastic reviews! Everyday was exciting and I experienced so many new things! Met some of the nicest people who are now friends and the tour guides were just amazing! Heart, Issy and S were so much fun and got involved in everything! They made sure everyone had the best time! Between spending the day with the elephants, swimming at the waterfalls, waking up in the middle of paradise at the floating bungalows and even spending the night on the train, every moment was enjoyable and made it the best adventure of my life! There are way too many good things that happened to mention in one post, but book it!! Do it and experience it for yourself! You won't regret a thing! I can't wait until I can do the Vietnam and Cambodia tour!! �������
ThailandOne of the best decisions ever booking onto this tour! Our tour guide S was absolutely amazing and the tour exceeded all my expectations. From the people I met on the tour to all the places and activities we got to experience it was the trip of a lifetime and one I will never forget. Would 100% recommend to anyone you definitely won’t regret it.
ThailandOne of the best times of my life! I have had an amazing 3 weeks thanks to our tour guides S and K. I have loved every second and made so many memories that will stay with me forever.
ThailandHad an amazing time and met some lovely people. Considering doing the Vietnam.
ThailandCan honestly say this was the best holiday of my life. Was such a well organised and fun filled itinerary and got to do such amazing things that I don't think I would have experienced if I was on my own. You won't regret booking it. There wasn't one moment I didn't enjoy. Thank you so much to Heart, Issy and Ess for making it so memorable.
The tour guides make it - sound lads!
ThailandI have just got back from three weeks doing the Backpacking Through Thailand tour beginning on 18 November 2017, and can confirm it was the best three weeks of my life. Having booked the tour on a bit of a whim, the tour went above and beyond my expectations. Travelling around Thailand with a large group of like-minded people was truly amazing and our tour guides S (who we had for the first week) and Heart (who we had for the entire trip) were incredible, making sure we were looked after and everything ran smoothly. We had a day when everybody in the group got sick and Heart did everything he could to make us feel better; delivering water and electrolytes and constantly checking up on people. The tour took us to places that the typical tourist wouldn’t usually visit and it was the perfect amount of activity and down time. If you’re thinking of booking this tour I can’t recommend it enough; the tour itself, the guides and the people you will travel with will make your three weeks in Thailand unforgettable with memories that will last forever.
VietnamI've just completed the Vietnam trip & it was the best 23 days of my life. Huy is such an incredibly kind hearted, funny and knowledgeable guide and looked after us the whole trip. The accommodation was also out of this world - nice hotels, central locations etc. Definitely the most luxurious backpacking trip I've ever done & for a fraction of the cost too. Everything was so well organised from the transport between cities to the daily activities/optional extras. Backpacking tours have really thought of everything! Vietnam is such an amazing and beautiful country & the tour gave me an insight in to places/the culture in a way I could never have done solo. Book this trip, I promise you will not be disappointed!
VietnamWhere to start. From start to finish the tour was amazing. Ba Huy was an amazing tour guide, very helpful when needed. Always there when u contacted him on the phone. he loves Vietnam and gave us loads of Information/History about Vietnam. The tour was a great experience and would recommend anyone wanting to go to Vietnam to go with backpacking tours.
ThailandWhat an experience! I can’t put those 3 weeks into words, from the very start I felt looked after by Daniel and this continued throughout the tour. S, Tony and Heart all made the trip go as smoothly as possible, on occasion going above and beyond what I imagine their job roles are! I was hesitant at first travelling outside of Europe alone but not once did I regret it once I’d taken off in England! From day 1 it felt like I’d just gone away with 34 friends from home and by day 4 it felt like we’d been in Thailand months together! You see so much, definitely more than you would do on a trip alone and it took away all of the worry of booking transport and accommodation as literally everything is done for you! They recommend places to go for food and have tried and tested the excursions to ensure that they’re the best on offer.. I can’t say enough how amazing this trip was! Any questions feel free to ask!!
VietnamI have just finished my tour of Vietnam and it has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Huy our tour guide was amazing and was so happy to show us his beautiful country. Huy was so kind and helpful in every way and our experience would not have been the same without him. We all became like a little family and in the end we have made friends for life. I would highly recommend anyone to do the Backpacking tour of Vietnam, whether you are traveling alone or in a group as it allows you to meet so many new people. I have seen the beauty of Vietnam and would love to return some time in the future.
ThailandJust back from the most incredible three weeks with the most friendly and hardworking tour guides. 100% exceeded all expectations! Have done so much more than I could have imagined in 3 weeks, all made much easier and more enjoyable by guides Heart, S and K. See you for another tour very soon!
ThailandWhen I booked this tour my expectations was high but this tour just topped every expectation I had. Every day it got better and better and meeting people and seeing truly the best things I have ever seen in my life. I have traveled a few places and done lots of tours but this tour was BY FAR the best tour I have ever done. If you haven't been Thailand before and you wanna see things that will blow your mind and have SOOOOOO much fun while doing it this tour is honestly the best thing you can do and also the tour guide is a ledgend �
MoroccoThailand trip was amazing, everyday felt like a new adventure. Very well organised and tour guide was brilliant. Activities and stays were unique.
Morocco tour was also very good, alot of driving but the destinations and stays made it worth while.
Sri LankaWe did the 8-day private tour as a group of friends and it was amazing from start to finish. The train ride to Ella, the safari at Udawalawe, and relaxing on the beaches in Mirissa were highlights for us. Everything was organised perfectly and our driver made the trip so easy. Highly recommend if you want to see the best of Sri Lanka without the stress of planning!
Everything I expected plus soooooo much more!!!!
Recommend this to anyone! Hands down the best three weeks of my life!
ThailandWow! What an experience of a lifetime, BTT! Started off the tour in Bangkok with 25 strangers and left with 25 new family members! S and heart the tour guides were absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable and organised, nothing was too much trouble for them and they are so much fun! The places we want to, activity’s we did and fun we shared I will remember forever, I would recommend this tour to everybody, I’d like to thank backpacking tours for the effort you guys put in making sure everyone gets the most out of Thailand, I can’t wait to meet up with everyone again on out next backpacking tour, much love xxx 5*+ recommended
VietnamGoing on the Vietnam tour was one of the best decisions I've made. From the seamless itinerary to the knowledgeable and friendly guide, Huy, everything was perfect. The tour felt very personal and well catered to our group. It’s clear that quality was a priority, and it showed in the excellent planning and execution. Definitely recommend for an unforgettable adventure.
ThailandCan’t recommended this trip enough! I had the most incredible 3 weeks! Heart and K were amazing tour guides and constantly made us laugh, I can’t thank them enough for everything! coming on my own I was so nervous but those feelings disappeared in 3 seconds, everyone was so lovely and friendly. You see so much of thailand and it definitely worth the money. If you are thinking of doing it, book it now! You won’t regret it.
ThailandAbsolutely 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.
VietnamI had amazing time on the Vietnam tour this July. Our tour guide Huy went above and beyond for all of us, he made sure we got to see everything we wanted to and he has such excellent knowledge of the country. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of doing this tour, we had so much fun. Once in a lifetime experience, met so many lovely people and am so grateful to Huy for showing us his beautiful country. Can’t wait to come back and visit again.
ThailandThe 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😁
ThailandNot only was the itinerary jam packed with so many amazing experiences that I will truly cherish forever but the tour guides went above and beyond to make sure every single person had a wonderful time. I've already recommended BTT to everyone I know and will continue to do so, they are the first tour group I will look up the next time I book my travels.
ThailandDid the backpacking Thailand tour and it was incredible. There were so many great activities and we saw some stunning places. S was our tour guide and he was honestly the best
VietnamIt 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!
IndonesiaJust gotten back from 18 days in Bali and I can honestly say it was the best holiday I've ever been on!
Not only is Bali a beautiful country but the people on my tour group were extremely friendly (we're even meeting up again in the UK later this year) and our guide Supry couldn't have been more helpful!
I'll definitely be using Backpacking Tours for my next holiday!
Thanks once again for an amazing experience!
I can't find the words to describe the incredible experiences K and Heart allowed us. They seriously knew their stuff and made exploring and learning about a new culture very fulfilling. I would highly recommend using this company to anybody who is thinking about travelling but possibly nervous about going on your own. There was many people in the same boat as me (on their own) but it just made the trip greater as I got to meet many amazing people.
VietnamHighly recommended.
Just finished the Vietnam tour. This is my second tour with Backpacking tours and both tours have been excellent.
The tours are well organised and a good way to see a country without having to worry about anything. Even on free days the guides can recommend activities and get involved themselves.
Thanks to Roy for being an excellent tour guide on the Vietnam tour and thanks to Heart, S and K for the Thailand tour.
VietnamVietnam is a stunning country, and exploring it with Huy from Backpacking Tours was an absolute pleasure. He made sure we experienced the authenticity of each location, from historical landmarks to local eateries. His passion for Vietnam and its culture was contagious and added so much value to our journey.
Thailand3 weeks done in Thailand , what a experience, best 3 weeks of my life , our tour guide S was brillant , very caring and deffo made the trip for us along side kit and bens was also great , great group and memories that will last a life time . We got to do so much in just 3 weeks . Would recommend highly to anybody looking to do this .
ThailandThis trip was a dream come true! Heart and Tony, our guides from Backpacking Tours, were perfect. They were there to help with anything we needed, always ensuring we had the best time. Exploring Thailand with them was like discovering a hidden paradise. They knew all the great spots that were off the beaten path. Absolutely the best way to travel!
South AfricaThe trip to South Africa was amazing. Perfect organization and guides Dan and Diggie. An unforgettable experience. Thanks a lot!
IndonesiaThis is an awesome tour ..tour guides are amazing ?I miss them and the people on the tour already...?definitely doing another tour with these guys again next year...thanks so much guys..?xx
FijiThe best part about joining the Fiji program was being in the community with the locals and playing sport with people my age was beyond amazing. My advice is just do it. A once in a life time opportunity and you will regret it if you don’t.
VietnamAmazing experience in Vietnam! Such a great crew to travel with. Many epic adventures and laughs. Thanks Huy for being our guide and making sure we had such a good fun time �
ThailandAfter nearly 3 weeks in Thailand, all I can say is what an experience. The incredible tour guide S and drivers Kit and Ben make this trip one of the most comfortable, enjoyable experiences that I will never forget . 100% would recommend to anyone wanting to start their travelling journey!
ThailandThis is an adventure of a lifetime that you will always remember. From making new friends from all over the world, to visiting amazing places I couldn't ask for more. It is definitely a tour made for everyone where there is as much partying, culture and bonding time all in one. My two tour guides S and Heart made this experience an unforgettable one by always having additional optional activities even on our free days and spending the best times with us as if we were a family. It was my first time travelling to a foreign country and also on my own and this tour exceeded my expectations. The people in my group went from strangers to friends in only a few days so don't be nervous to travel on your own! Thank you BTT fam jam ���
What a great place.... should visit once and enjoy with their amazing land.
PeruJust finished the 10 day Peru adventure trip, and what an amazing experience it was! This was my first tour, it was so well organised from start to finish, and having Roger as our guide he was so professional and friendly couldn’t ask for anyone better to show us the wonders of Peru.
CambodiaI have just finished the 10 day Cambodia tour and had the best time. The tour was a good mix of cities and beaches which allowed a bit of peace and quiet to relax in between the activities. The highlight for me was Koh Rong as the beaches were stunning and the all day boat trip was so fun! Our tour leader Michelle was amazing from start to finish, I loved how relaxed she was whilst keeping us all on track and making sure the tour ran smoothly. Thanks again Michelle for a great trip!
It is a really amazing trip with good colleagues and people!!!
IndonesiaMeeting and getting to know all the other volunteers from over the world and getting to teach the grade 5s was my favorite moment. The impact my volunteering trip had on me was meeting the locals in Bali and learning about their culture and customs. Everyone is extremely welcoming and open to getting to know each other.
ThailandBackpacking 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!
IndiaSuch an amazing trip and experience! If you have ever thought about visiting India, this is a great way to do it.
ThailandAmazing tour !!! Would highly recommend people to book, the tour guides S, Heart and Toni are incredible and plan everything so well to make sure you get a real taster of Thailand ! It's a great opportunity to meet new people.... see loads of Thailand and create amamzing memories xx
ThailandWe had a fab time in Thailand, S & K are the best tour guides and made our experience!
VietnamLoved 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!
VietnamAmazing adventure in Vietnam! Huy was our guide and he went above and beyond to make sure we experienced everything Vietnam has to offer. From bustling city markets to serene river cruises, every detail was perfectly organized. The tour itself was of the highest quality, with great accommodation and transport arrangements. Can't recommend enough!
VietnamI have booked 3 tours and I have just finished my first in Vietnam. You couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable and helpful tour guide. All my questions were answered swiftly before hand. And my Vietnam tour was exactly as advertised
Can’t recommend them enough. Exceptional Tourist Service Provider. I would say they’re Field professionals. Very Easy & Friendly to have a Communication with them. Always try go far beyond and let their customer experience a Trip of a Lifetime. Thank you Backpacking Tours & Mr.Simon for your Kindness
ThailandJust finished the three week Thailand tour and had such an amazing time. We visited the most interesting and beautiful places and packed so many fun activities into the three weeks.
Our tour guide S really made the trip and was so commited to making sure we were all having a good time. His energy and enthusiasm for everything we did made the trip so much fun and he always had us laughing with his many jokes. S was also incredibly kind, always checking in with everybody that they were ok and enjoying themselves and made us all feel very safe. I don't know how us girls would have managed without him carrying our bags up and down flights of stairs for us. He was so helpful as well and if we ever needed something he would sort it out straight away. Honestly the best tour guide I have ever met.....and one of the nicest people too!
Our driver Off was also a wonderful addition to the trip. He was so accommodating and was always ready and waiting with the doors open and the air con on. When he wasn't driving us, he was busy taking photographs for us making sure we had memories of everything.
Would high recommend this tour to anybody. Had such a fantastic time and came away with lifelong friends and memories.
ThailandI have just arrived home after an incredible three weeks in Thailand. I was quite nervous going as a first time solo backpacker but as soon as I landed I knew I was in safe hands. Our tour guide S was more than a guide and he became our friend. He went above and beyond for everyone and kept us entertained at every moment of everyday. The same goes for our drivers Krit and Ben who were there for us anytime we needed them and they were so helpful and made us feel safe at all times🥰
I was so lucky to have met such a great group and made wonderful friends. We have made so many memories that will last a lifetime and we cannot thank these lads enough. We got a great experience and culture of Thailand, had great laughs , nights out and of course many photoshoots at all the amazing places we saw😍
I can’t recommend this tour enough. As S would say ‘if you never try you never know know’☺️😂🇹🇭
ThailandThe most amazing experience I’ve ever had, amazing places and the company was even better! Tour guides are incredible and so so helpful!! If you don’t book this tour you’re deffo missing out on a trip of a lifetime!
ThailandHad an amazing 3 weeks with BTT, our guides Jonny and S couldn’t do enough for us. Would highly recommend!
The best experience with the best people, the tour guides S, Heart and Tony make the trip so enjoyable and fun from start to finish, they become your friends as did everyone else on the tour. The only problem is now I officially have the travel bug and don't want to ever go home! Cannot recommend this company enough ���
VietnamWell 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!
ThailandI have just got back from the most incredible 3 weeks in Thailand.
If you’re debating whether to go on a tour with this company, DO IT! I was quite scared about the idea of going alone at first but it is by far the best decision I have made. I immediately felt so safe and welcome by everyone as I was lucky to be in a group with amazing people who all got along so well.
The tour guide, S, was the best tour guide possible and I can’t think of anything he could do to be any better. He was always there to have a laugh and boost your energy (new battery!) but also made you feel so looked after and safe. I will forever be grateful to S for this amazing tour and the memories he’s given us and can’t wait to see him again.
The variety of activities suited everyone and there was enough free time to do extra stuff in smaller groups.
I couldn’t recommend the Thailand tour enough.
Great country, great tour, great people and a great tour guide ❤️
ThailandDid the Thailand tour in August 2018 and had an absolutely ace time! It really lived up to the itinerary as we did all these amazing activities, but also had plenty of free time to explore, and Thailand is so wonderful! It was full of amazing opportunities and you see and do things that are once in a lifetime moments. Plenty of parties, lots of laughs, cultural trips, cute animals and amazing food (especially Heart’s BBQ)! S, Heart and K were the most incredible, enthusiastic and funny tour guides and honestly the most lovely people I’ve ever met. They went above and beyond to make sure every second of the tour was amazing and it really was. For anyone hesitant to book - do it! I went alone as a shy, clueless 18-year-old and this was not only was the best 3 weeks of my life, it made me grow massively as a person.
I came back and did the Vietnam tour in July 2022. A completely different experience but equally as amazing as the Thailand tour with beautiful sights, lots of fun activities and a lot of learning about Vietnam’s rich culture and history. Our tour guide Huy was amazing and so passionate and knowledgeable about his country, he is so lovely and really made the tour super special. He also went above and beyond for us to make sure we all had the best time, and we definitely did! Met the loveliest bunch of people on this tour and we all became great friends with memories to last a lifetime! Vietnam is an incredible country and this tour covers so much of it. I’m so glad I came back with this company and would definitely book with them again!
MexicoMy trip to Mexico was fantastic, a great itinerary that offered such a variety without feeling too busy or too much travel. A shoutout to our superb tour leader Vitor, so full of helpful knowledge and advice and just made our trip so fun. 5 stars all round 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
ColombiaI just did the 12 day Colombia tour and it was amazing! From the places to the food to the people, they were sooo good! Highly recommended this trip and our tour guide Amalia made this trip 10x better! She is super sweet, helpful, cool and overall just amazing! I felt completely safe on this whole trip.
ThailandThe tour of Thailand is honestly one of the best tours you can go on!
S (the tour guide) went out of his way to make sure we all had the best time and even adapted the tour as we went along to make sure everyone saw and did everything they wanted to do. If you needed the toilet or food he would get you there in 5 minutes!
As a female solo backpacker I couldn’t have felt more safe. I felt immediately comfortable in a completely new country. Special shout out to Ben and Krit (the drivers) who were absolutely amazing!
If you are looking to go to Thailand, definitely choose this company!
ThailandAbsolutely 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! 👌🏼❤️
Our tour guide S made this whole experience totally unforgettable and so much fun. It was such a unique experience with great people. We very quickly learned that we could have 100% confidence in our tour guide.
IndiaIndia and Nepal are beautiful countries! There is so much to see and explore. It was an amazing trip and I felt in love with the culture of India and the beautiful mountains in Nepal!
ThailandBest decision I ever made to book with BTT. Had the best time exploring Thailand and made memories I will cherish for a lifetime. A massive thank you to Heart and K for showing us your beautiful country and being the best tour guides we could of asked for. Wouldn’t of been the same trip without you both.
IndonesiaI 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!!
ThailandThe most unforgettable 3 weeks! I would highly recommend BTT to anyone who is looking to explore Thailand, meet new people and have tons of fun. Our tour guides, S and Heart, were more than I could ever ask for. They're extremely knowledgable, energetic, organised and caring. The tour is jam packed with amazing things to see and do everyday and opportunities that I would of missed out on if I did it alone! Thank you for the memories BTT ��
IndonesiaPutri is the best tour guide, that I've ever had. She likes to chat with us, help us out, speaks with the locals, has an open heart and welcome us, like you can see this in Balinese culture. I learned so much about the people and the culture here, although I spend some time on Bali before the trip. Putri is highly recommended.
AustraliaI have just finished the 28 day Aus East Coast Tour and had the best time. Our tour leader Hannah was great and super helpful throughout the whole trip. Would highly recommend!
This tour was absolutely incredible. The tour guides, S and Heart, were full of fun and enthusiasm and I always looked forward to the next day of the trip and seeing how they brought it to life. It was great that you could make the trip your own so that if you wanted to go off from the group and do your own thing, S and Heart would help to arrange that. I also loved that they would provide added extras that weren't part of the tour but you could pay to do them if you wanted such as the glowing plankton -- which ended up being my favorite experience of the whole trip. It was truly magical and indescribable. If you ever get the chance to do it, take it. And if you're thinking about whether or not to do this tour, DO IT. I now have lifetime friends from all over the world and memories I will cherish forever from this fabulous trip. worth every penny.
IndonesiaMy trip to Bali with Backpacking Tours was nothing short of incredible. The comprehensive tour covered everything from the iconic Uluwatu Temple to secluded beaches and local markets. Each day was perfectly balanced with activities and free time, allowing us to soak in the rich Balinese culture and stunning landscapes at our own pace.
ThailandThe best experience of my life, couldn’t recommend this holiday more. Our tour guides S and K made everything so much more amazing and never left anyone out. Everything was so organised and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
IndonesiaBest trip ever with the best tour guides, I went alone and met the greatest people ❤️. They take you to all the BEST places in Bali. Best food & best accommodation. I would do this again and again. 1000/10 this company’s amazing. I was nervous at first but it turned out to be the best thing I’ve ever done.
If you’re hesitant about booking this trip JUST DO IT! Best decision I’ve ever made! This tour is absolutely amazing! I felt safe the entire time, Thailand is stunning and the tour guides are incredible! You will not regret it!
IndonesiaThe backpacking trip to Bali exceeded our expectations. This was mine and Liam’s first time travelling but the tour guides helped us settle in. All the activities were organised perfectly, the transport to and from each destination was always on time and helped massively with all of the luggage we had. We visited 3 islands on the tour with all boat trips to and from each island included and no problems. We both had an amazing time and met some fantastic people.
The tour guides are extremely helpful and friendly and they are the reason our experience was special. Supry, Ima and Putu made us feel welcome in Bali right from the very start and our only regret is that we cannot stay for longer!
I would strongly recommend anyone to travel with backpacking tours to Bali and other destinations available with the company.
Nina and Liam.
What a tour!! 3 weeks of incredible experiences, amazing people and the best picks of Thailand. The bond we had as a group, including the tour guides, will live forever. Unbelievable value for money and every day was full of energy and positivity. I’d do the tour again in a heartbeat....don’t miss out #BTT?
ThailandWell what can I say I have the Thailand blues only been back 3days from the March tour but this trip was the best with the best tour guides K ,Tony and Heart they were amazing and made trip more adventurous there wasn't a dull moment with them. BTT tour was very organised from day to day trips and accommodation as well as the transport. I would recommend this to anyone who is travelling on their own and it will inspire me to go on other tours with the company. I also made some life long friends thanks for thus BBT
ThailandCurrently on the Thailand tour and I have to say it has been nothing short of incredible!
Getting to see the entire country is something i would have never have been able to do alone so having the company sort it all out for such a good price is definitely worth it.
Our tour guide S has been phenomenal! He certainly knows how to have fun and make the trip more enjoyable while still being an excellent tour guide, it really wouldn’t be the same without local people like him showing us the sights.
100% would recommend the company to anyone wanting to travel Thailand or any of the other countries the company offers! I’ll certainly be returning in the next few years to do it all over again!!
Cape VerdeWhether young or older this is a fabulous programme. If you want to mix with a lovely community, work alongside amazing people and experience the wonder of helping beautiful creatures then this is for you. Tough, rewarding and a forever memory. Just be prepared to get stuck in, work as a team and soak up every moment. I had the pleasure of working alongside fellow volunteers who I remain in contact with. We all share the desire to return to the island to meet again. Be prepared to meet people who will make you a better person :)
ThailandAbsolutely fantastic. They take everyone into consideration when it comes to activities etc. S is the best tour guide I could’ve asked for ! Always up for a party and a great guy all round would recommend to anyone and everyone!
VietnamHad 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!
Sri LankaBackpacking Sri Lanka with Dam and Sam!
What an incredible trip and an experience of a lifetime! Sri Lanka is such a beautiful country, and I feel so lucky to have experienced it with Dam and Sam! This tour exceeded my expectations and it is down to these two making the trip the absolute best!! They went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best time and were all safe and happy. I felt so well looked after on this tour and It really wouldn’t have been the same without them. If you’re wanting to travel to Sri Lanka this is the tour you should book!! You’ll be in the best hands and guaranteed to have an amazing time! Thank you Dam and Sam for showing us your stunning country! I have made memories that will last forever.
Words could not possibly describe how amazing this trip was from start to finish! I looked at so many tour companies before I booked Backpacking through Thailand and by far this one looked the best and the tour exceeded my expectations! All the activities where incredible truly a life changing experience! Thank you Heart and Tony for showing me round your beautiful country! They where such amazing tour guides and made you feel like part of a family for a short period of time! For a girl going by myself I was a bit worried like anyone would but not once did I feel unsafe or uneasy! This was the best experience and I would not hesitate to recommend and will defiantly be booking another tour for Bali or Vietnam!
ThailandIf you're pondering whether to book this trip with Backpacking Tours, just go for it! Heart and S made every day unforgettable. The activities were perfectly chosen, we got to see the real Thailand, beyond the usual tourist spots. Great value for money and the memories I made are priceless. This wasn’t just a holiday, it was the adventure of a lifetime!
ThailandI never expected to enjoy this tour as much as I did!! 21 strangers were thrown together for 21 days but left with countless memories. The tour includes such a great mix of true Thai culture, tourist attractions and life time experiences but also time to do your own thing. Our guides S and Tony were amazing... as long as you were having a good time they were having a good time and they were more than just tour guides, they were also our friends. Don’t even think about it, just book it now!!!
ThailandHonestly couldn’t recommend this tour more! S and K went above and beyond, I don’t think they could have done a better job - both so funny, inclusive, helpful and ensured everyone had the best time! Genuinely don’t think I would have done nearly as much had I come to Thailand by myself and I do think it’s good value for money.
Sri LankaSri Lanka was a total blast, thanks to Backpacking Tours and our fab guides, Dam and Sam! Superb attention to detail and heaps of local knowledge. Safe, fun, and totally engaging. You'd be daft not to book with them!
ZanzibarThis is an incredibly enjoyable experience that I hope has made an impact on the local community and wildlife. I wish I could have stayed longer as It began to feel like family. I hope one day to come back and visit.
IndonesiaI highly recommend Backpacking Bali for an authentic experience! The tour takes you through the heart of Bali, exploring hidden gems and iconic landmarks. The cultural activities and interactions with locals were truly enriching.
ThailandI travelled to Thailand as a solo traveller and came away with a brand new family. I cannot express how much I have enjoyed myself over the past three weeks, with a special thanks going out to tour guides S and Tony for making this trip run so smoothly.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is thinking about booking it in the future! ��
Hands down the best 3 weeks of my life! I am still coming down from the high this trip has left me on. Thailand is stunning and Backpacking Through Thailand does an amazing job ensuring you see and experience as much as possible during your tour. Our tour guide Heart was outstanding. He had great knowledge, was supportive, helpful, kind and has a real passion for what he does, always going above and beyond for us. Our tour group was great and I made friends with people from all over the world, adding to the experience. I can not recommend this tour enough. Thank you BTT for this life changing experience the booking process, your outstanding team and the amazing tour were all top notch and I hope to be able to do Vietnam in 2017.
ThailandI went on the March 2020 Thailand tour and I can't recommend it enough. We were a small group of only 6, but our tour guide S was amazing. He's so funny! We saw some incredible places whilst in Thailand, the elephant sanctuary was my favourite but I enjoyed all of it. The culture is so interesting and I loved every second of it!❤❤
ThailandThis was the most amazing experience of my life, only heightened by the enthusiasm of the two greatest tour guides S and K. Endless amounts of fun, never ending partying, spotless accommodation, I seen parts of Thailand that you would never even think of traveling If you didn’t go with BTT, overall the value for money is outstanding. I travelled with one person and left with 26 new family members, who made memories that’ll last forever. If your on two minds about booking with BTT don’t think just do it. You won’t regret it. ��
Thailandhad an amazing 3 week tour in thailand. went there with my partner and we had a great time with 2 awesome tour guides s and heart and the other 21 awesome people who were all from around the world and we did not know before the tour but now are all life time friends. i got to see city life,cultural and beaches. got nothing bad to say about the tour apart from that it had to end.i will be doing another tour with this company in the future
VietnamThe holiday of a life time. Couldn’t have asked for better people to share with us the beauty of Vietnam, to teach us about Vietnam’s history, Vietnamese cooking, farming, our tour guides Roy and Juan that warmly welcomed us to their country and that in a short time became our best friends. I had the most remarkable holiday with these guys and with everyone in the group (smashing bunch of people), and not only everything was perfect and so well organized, but I felt in every instance that our guides truly cared about us, and did the best to make this trip memorable. 10 out of 10 BTV, the trip was so well organized , so many activities and tours, plenty of free time to relax , great accommodation and I could go on and on about this trip as it was one to remember. I miss you Roy and Juan and because of you Vietnam will always be so close to my heart ! Xxx
ThailandThis trip has been one of the most amazing and life changing experiences I’ve had. My group and tour guide really did make it so special, as well as the day to day activities that are incredible- from the nature side of the trip including waterfalls, national parks and tiger cubs to the most rewarding local school visits. I would recommend this tour company to everyone and especially the Thailand trip.
ColombiaSo worth the cost, the organisation is all done for you but in a way that activities are optional and you have free time too so you don’t feel pressured into anything but everything that is planned is so fun! Finished Colombia with Carolina and got to know so much more about the country than if we’d done it solo!
One of the best experiences of my life. Met so many new friends from around the world and we had the best tour guides, S and K went above and beyond for us and made the trip amazing from start to finish!
ThailandI am so glad that I chose to book BTT! It was such an amazing experience, from learning about Thai culture to getting to know the amazing group of people I was travelling with. It is definitely down to Heart and K, the best tour guides you could ask for. They did everything to make the trip the perfect experience, thank you so much!
Thailandthe best three weeks of my life! The tour was very well made, they show you everything about this beautiful country from culture to crazy party, the accomodation was amazing you got hostel, camping, floating bungalow, night train. Everything was an amazing experience, you got peaple from around the world doing amazing activities with the best tourguides you can wish for, S and Heart, in an amazing country(almost stay there for the rest of my life haha)!
What an amazing experience I had with backpacking through Thailand. From start to finish it was fantastic with a great group of people who are now friends for life. All the activities were brilliant and made even more special by our 2 most friendliest and helpful tour guides Heart & Tony. The things I seen and done such as walking with and feeding the elephants, visiting schools and island hoping to seeing the most breathtaking scenery will stay with me forever. This has got to be the best holiday I've ever had and the memories will stay with me forever. Thank you for such an fantastic adventure.
ThailandJust back from the most amazing 3 weeks in Thailand. I can't reccomend this tour enough it was so well organised and such an excellent way to experience an amazing country, trying all the wonderful food and exploring so many different areas!
The trip wouldn't have been the same without our tour guide S, he went above and beyond for our group and made our experience so wonderful and one we will never forget! He really looked after us and gelled the group together.
Also shout out to our driver Benz who really took care of us and made the travelling around so stress free. When our train broke down Benz came to pick us up and drove the extra 7 hours to take us to the next destination.
Thank you so much to S and benz for making this an experience of a life time!
ThailandDefinatly the best trip iv ever been on🤩🤩it’s the most amazing tour getting to see Thailand in all its glory😎😎but what really made it was the incredible tour guides Heart,K and Tony (and the bus driver Milo&Man LEGENDS!)who no matter keep you safe and always having a laugh🤗🤗I would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting to tour Thailand I have made great memories and life long friends😍😍xo
Sri LankaSri Lanka tour - Dam is the man! Him and Sam were always very attentive and knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing trip!
ThailandJust returned from a breathtaking tour of Thailand. S is brilliant – he knows everyone and everything, which makes you feel like you’re travelling with a local. The itinerary was a perfect mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. His attention to detail and care for each traveller is what sets this tour apart. Brilliant job!
ThailandHonestly can’t put into words what an incredible experience this was! Made memories that’ll last a life time and met some great people who I now consider friends for life! Also this trip wouldn’t be anywhere near as good if it wasn’t for tour guides S and K, so huge credit and a massive thank you to both of them! Thailand, it’s been a blast!
PhilippinesI loved the family feel with all the local team coordinators as I felt safe, heard, and accommodated for. My favorite moment from the volunteer experience was interacting with the children and teachers.
ThailandI have just finished the best 3 weeks ever with BTT, from the start to the end I loved every minute of it with everything organized for you, we could just sit back and enjoy amazing Thailand! The 9 of us on the tour got on straight away and were like a big travelling family! We got the opportunity to do and see things you wouldn't if you backpacked alone and I don't think we all stopped smiling and laughing for 3 weeks! A BIG thank you to S, Mai, Ben and 'G' for being such incredible tour guides so full of knowledge, enthusiastic and up for a laugh, they made the experience for us!
If you are thinking of visiting Thailand you will 100% not reget booking this tour, it is such good value for money and you will love every second of it!
ThailandWould recommend to anyone, I did more in one holiday then I ever thought I would, life time of memory's would definitely do it again or one of there other locations.
ThailandI 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!!!
VietnamThis tour was without doubt one of the best experiences of my life! I got to see every bit of a wonderful country, did some amazing things and met some truly fantastic people along the way. I’d always wanted to visit Vietnam and I’m so glad I did it with BTV. The guides, Leo and Jackie, had a really in-depth knowledge of the country which made it even more special than I’d hoped for. It was also great to experience it all with the brilliant people in our group! Thanks for the memories guys and I’d recommend this tour in a heartbeat!
ThailandBackpacking Tours, you guys rock! The Thailand tour was everything I hoped for and more. K and Heart were phenomenal - their knowledge and enthusiasm made all the difference. We saw incredible sights, enjoyed delicious food, and met the best people. This tour is a must-do for anyone wanting to explore Thailand with fun, safe, and knowledgeable guides. Thanks for an unforgettable adventure!
IndonesiaJust finished our 18 day Bali tour, if you have Supre as your tour guide you are in for an amazing adventure! He’s so full of life and knowledge and always up for a laugh! He’ll take you to so many hidden gems you wouldn’t see as a normal tourist, it’s honestly a trip not to be missed if you really want to explore all of Bali!

VietnamJust book it! I did the Thailand tour last year so had high expectations for Vietnam and it was incredible. Our tour guides Roy and Juan were top-class, 'knowledgeable, fun and caring'. We're now family for life.The transport, accommodation, food and activities were all of high standard and I loved the opportunities of free time in this action-packed tour of Vietnam. Looking forward to the Bali tour next. Thanks guys for a trip of a lifetime. Denis O'Malley, Ireland.
ThailandThis tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guides were amazing and for sure made everyone feel safe and comfortable at all times. You get the cultural experience from this trip along with some beach time and nightlife. You get the best of both worlds.
PhilippinesThe organization of the trip was super good. The trip has been very active - we have seen and experienced a lot. Nevertheless, we could pull back and do our own thing if we wanted to. I would like to give special praise to our group leader Mike Mazurkiewicz. He was very well organized, always very nice and polite and also very interesting as a personality. I can definitely recommend this trip!
ThailandWhat an amazing 3 weeks i have had. Met so many new friends and had such wonderful experiences that i will remember for a long time to come. A special thank you to s and heart they truly are the best tour guides so caring and a good laugh, they also go out of their way to make sure everyone is involved and enjoying themselves. So pleased i picked BTT tour as i couldnt of done it on my own. S and heart are a credit to the company and i would truly recommend BTT is the tour to go on!!
VietnamTrip of a lifetime. I have never been properly travelling before so when I came across back packing tours I jumped at the opportunity.
I booked the Vietnam tour. The trip has been unbelievable, from the accommodation to the activities but more importantly the people I have meet along the way. It’s the best way to meet new friends and make life long memories.
The tour guide for this trip was Huy and he made the trip even better. he is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and made the tour run extremely smoothly.
If your deciding to book with back packing tours I would strongly recommend best decision I have ever made.
ThailandThe reviews from Jacqui Sankey and Abbie Harriet below my post sum up everything I would have said! However I’d also like to point out that the trip is everything you expect and more ✨ on paper I thought that the trip looked too good to be true but honestly it was incredible! It was a great mix of activities, sight-seeing, culture and partying. Thank you so much to Heart, K and Daniel for everything 🤗
IndiaThe India tour with Backpacking Tours was absolutely brilliant.From the chaos of Delhi to the stunning palaces in Jaipur and the sunrise at the Taj Mahal, every moment was something new. The trip was so well organised, making it easy to just enjoy the experience without worries. Will book another trip with BT!
Amazing experience! Roy our tour guide was excellent. He is so knowledgeable and shares stories that makes this trip extra special and more enjoyable. The trip was so well organised and and we got to see and experience such amazing places! Roy was always there if there was anything we needed! Couldn't recommend it more trip of a life time! Learned so much about the Vietnamese culture and history. The group we went with were all amazing people, we started as strangers and are leaving as a family! Definate five stars!!!, ❤️🌏
VietnamWhat an experience it has been! So happy I signed up to do the tour such a great way to make new friends and explore Vietnam in depth. The places we have visited have been amazing and our tour guide Jackie has made sure we experienced the very best. The hotels and transport was all spot on and we never had to wait for a bus once!
I would highly recommend coming on the Vietnam tour, it’s been one of it not the best experiences of my life and I would do it again in a heart beat
Thank you again Jackie!
Sri LankaI've been on two tours with Backpacking Tours now (Vietnam and Sri Lanka). Both times were two of the best experiences of my life and would recommend it to absolutely anyone. I was a bit nervous going to Sri Lanka due to the recent economic crisis, however, after spending a few weeks there and speaking with Dam, our tour guide, he filled me with so much confidence about the country and assured us that there had been no protests since the previous year despite media reports. I never felt unsafe there for even a moment. All of the Sri Lankan people we met seemed over the moon that we were visiting their country and told us at every opportunity that we were helping their country out.
Our tour guide Dam and driver Sam were two of the most incredible people I've ever met. Dam knew everything about everything and whatever the question was he always had the answer, I've never met someone who knows so much about their country. They both helped us out on so many different occasions and bent over backwards for us so we had the best experience possible. Whatever issues we had they always sorted them straight away. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and driver and I'll forever miss them.
The other group members were also so so lovely, everyone got on so well, we all helped each other out and gave each other the best experience. We were each a little different which made it so fun and made the group work so well. I couldn't have asked for a better group to travel around Sri Lanka with!
All of the activities on the tour are included, however our tour guide was very helpful in suggesting extra activities if we had some free time (whale watching, zip line etc.) The way this tour has been designed is perfect, it's full of activities, the accommodation is all lovely and the amount of time spent in each town or city is ideal to see everything you need to see.
Finally, the staff that I interacted with were all so nice and helpful, including Simon who came on the tour with us. I had an excessive amount of questions before I left and each one was answered quickly and thoughtfully! I honestly had the time of my life on this tour and was so upset to be leaving, it was so much fun and I'd definitely recommend this tour company to anyone and I already have quite a few times, but if you don't like rice then maybe Sri Lanka isn't the country for you 🇱🇰💕
couldn’t recommend this tour enough! our tour guide S has been so much fun and made us feel so comfortable, along with the drivers Kit & Ben. the amount of activities and things to see makes the trip so worth the money & you make amazing memories with a great group of people 🫶🏻🫶🏻🔥🔥
PhilippinesVolunteering for 2 weeks in Palawan was definitely a decision well made. The people I met and the knowledge I acquired from the environmental program will come along with me. I will also cherish the quiet moments, conversations and karaoke nights for as long as I live. This is a great place to humble yourself and to serve others in whatever way you can. Maraming salamat po!
ThailandJust got back from the most amazing trip, we did so many activities in 21 days and saw so many places that I would never have seen without this tour. K,S and Heart were the most incredible tour guides and made everyday enjoyable and had so much enthusiasm throughout! Most unforgettable trip, would definitely recommend doing it !
Cape VerdeI recommend this magical experience. I made new friends from all over the world. I felt very satisfied with the work done, I experienced a different month that made me reflect on many things about the life. The friendships were fantastic You have to be able to adapt to a different lifestyle, but there are many people ready to support you. There will be moments of fatigue and stress, but this experience will change your life. If you are ready, I highly recommend this experience.I felt very satisfied with the work done, I experienced a different month that made me reflect on many things. The friendships were fantastic.
ThailandI have just arrived home after spending three life changing weeks in beautiful Thailand. This tour was incredible. The culture, the food, the activities the natural beauty were all beyond my wildest expectations. By far the best part of the journey we’re the people I met along the way. I want to shout out our drivers Ben and Krit, these men went above and beyond for our group and got us safely around the country and still had time to have a laugh with everyone, you guys are the best. Our guide S, he is the best guide I have ever met hands down. He became a friend to us and I hope he is reading this now so I can tell him once again that he needs to visit Ireland and let us show him around!! Like we said at the end of the tour, this is not goodbye, this is see you next time. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves to travel. Sending love from Ireland, Adam.
CambodiaJust returned from the 15 day tour of Cambodia. I had such an excellent time with such an amazing group of people. As a solo traveller I was apprehensive not knowing anyone but from the get go we were all introduced and I got to know everyone. The guides work tirelessly throughout the entire duration of the trip ensuring that everyone is happy, knows where to go, things to do etc, even on free time they are making recommendations and helping you where required, they really make the whole trip so smooth. The itinerary itself is so well planned, well communicated and gives you access to some of the most beautiful parts of the country.The accommodation and food recommendations are perfect, all hotel check ins went smoothly and hotels were of such a high quality and the same can be said for the restaurants we ate at and the activities we did. The team work so hard to make the trip work for the group to ensure everyone gets the best experience out of it & I will certainly be booking again on another tour with Backpacking Through I would like to thank our guides Jhony and Vanna, both full of an excellent knowledge of the country, the people, religion and history, no question was unanswered & always up for a party and drinking on the nights!
ThailandS est le meilleur guide merci de nous avoir diriger et proposer des activités lors de nos journées libres 🤗
ThailandJust finished up the Thailand tour and I can say that was one of the best experiences I’ve ever ever had! Seen some of most beautiful places, met some amazing people and made some amazing friends. The trip couldn’t of been better then it was thanks to our tour guides heart and s. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is thinking about it, you won’t be disappointed.
New ZealandJust finished the 17 day New Zealand tour and had the best time with an amazing group and our leader Danny. He kept things running smoothly, brought us together with chats and games, and even helped connect me with others on a working holiday visa. I'm so grateful and really sad it's finished.
ThailandAbsolutely amazing experience! Couldn't have asked for better tour guides! Thank you so much to Hart and Teddy for sharing your beautiful country with us. Defiantly will visit again! Everyone should experience Thailand at least once in their life and honestly you wouldn't find a better tour group ❤️☀️
ThailandJust back from the February tour had an amazing trip! This trip is such a great way to get an authentic taste of Thailand. You get to see sooo much of Thailand and the 3weeks are busy! I struggle to pick a favourite memory I guess erawan waterfalls, baby tiger and island hopping jump out. Nearly forgot the day at the elephant sanctuary #nochainsjustlove. Heart the tour guide is exceptional. He ensures everyone is getting what they want out of the holiday. As the oldest in the group I didn't wanna go out and go wild every night which wasn't a problem at all. This holiday literally has everything for couples, granny's like me (nickname from group), young singles to people wanting to experience the culture Thailand has to offer. Heart ensured although everyone came to Thailand for different reasons everyone left with a unique and different experience. Thank you heart. Anyone who isn't sure do book you won't regret it!!!!
ThailandCan't even begin to explain how amazing my experience with BTT was! The 3 week trip was not only great value in terms of the places you stay, and travelling, but the amount of things you fit in to the 21 days is spectacular. Some of the places we visited I would never of even heard of if it wasn't for the company, and some of the friends you make along the way you know will be friends for life! I don't even know where to begin with our tour guide, Heart! He was just amazing, a lovely person who really loves his job and it totally shows the whole trip! He always made sure everyone was having the best time and you could always rely on him no matter what, he definitely made the trip for our group� I would 100% recommend BTT to any friends who are considering going to Thailand and I would book with them again without hesitation! X
ThailandI don't usually write reviews but this tour needs a 10 out of 10.. from day one to day 21 it has been the most amazing, memorable adventure which was only made possible by our very knowledgeable tour guides HEART, TONY & S.. there is no words to describe these tour guides only as simply the best!!!..� we came as strangers and left as friends... I would definitely recommend this tour its a once in a life time opportunity, life is short & the world is wide...� #BTT2017�
VietnamVietnam was absolutely mad in the best way possible. One minute you’re dodging scooters in Hanoi, next you’re chilling on a boat in Ha Long Bay, then crawling through caves in Phong Nha. Huy was such a legend, sorted everything and made sure we didn’t miss a thing. The group was unreal too, felt like we’d known each other for ages. Can’t believe how fast it went, proper gutted it’s over. Would 100% do another trip with Backpacking Tours! 🇻🇳🙌
ThailandJoining the Backpacking Through Thailand tour is one of the best decisions I've ever made. There aren't any words that come close to summarising my time during the tour, all I can say is I genuinely had THE time of my life. I can't express enough thanks to our three fantastic tour guides Heart, S & Tony for their hard work, dedication and passion they have for their career that truly allowed us to experience the incredible country that is Thailand and have the most fun while we were there. You three are such a credit to the company and three people that I am proud to call my friends. I'd also like to thank Simon and Dan as well for helping to organise the tour behind the scenes and catching some of the best photos I've ever seen! The tour allowed me to experience so many incredible things but the one thing I am most thankful for is allowing me to meet the incredible people that were on the tour with me. Allowing people the opportunity to travel together and make incredible friendships is priceless and I owe a massive thank you to BTT for that! No matter where you are in the world, for 33 people to come together and all appreciate this amazing experience is something very special and something I'll never forget.
Cape VerdeIncredible experience at Cape Verde's turtle conservation program! Made a difference while meeting amazing people and learning so much. Highly recommend!
VietnamIt is so well organised from start to finish. You get to see so much and yet have plenty of relaxation time. I meet some amazing people and had such good fun with them throughout the tour. The tour guide Roy was top class and looked after us so well. He also gave us a great insight in to the history of this beautiful country. I would definitely recommend this trip. I will never forget the memories made with Backpacking Through Vietnam. Go for it you won’t regret it!!
I went to Sri Lanka with Backpacking Tours and had a wonderful experience.
Our guide Dam and driver Sam were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and accomodating. The tour itself had a great variety of activities from small hikes to surfing, snorkelling, cycling and sight seeing.
Dam and Sam ensured that we all felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip and had an incredible time and we’re fantastic in ensuring we experienced Sri Lanka from both a tourist and a local perspective.
Thank you so much to Dam and Sam for making the Sri Lanka trip unforgettable!
VietnamMost 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! ???
IndonesiaBackpacking 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.
ThailandWe done a 11 day trip through Thailand arranged by Backpacking Tours and it was fantastic. Everything was so efficient and fun. The drivers, hotel and excursions were top notch. Mai our contact was amazing! 10 out of 10 - will be booking with them again.
ThailandCan honestly say this has been a trip of a lifetime ❤️ From making friends for life to seeing breathtaking views and experiencing the Thai culture..all thanks to our two amazing tour guides Heart and Tony ❤️ They were always there to help and went above and beyond helping with everything. I would not change one thing about this tour..if you’re thinking about doing this trip just do it, honestly you won’t regret it! Memories from this trip I will never forget..BTT15thJUNE’18 ❤️❤️
IndonesiaExploring Bali was an absolute delight, thanks to the well-organized tour by Backpacking Tours. The itinerary was a perfect mix of cultural immersion, adventure, and relaxation, with each day bringing a new set of unforgettable experiences. The professionalism and expertise of the team were evident in every aspect of the trip.
ThailandWas a trip of a life time! My expectations were most definitely exceeded. If you’re looking to have fun, meet new friends, and explore Thailand- this trip is for you!!
VietnamBackpacking Tours was one of the greatest experiences I’ve had overseas so far!
This was my first tour I’ve been on and most certainly won’t be my last with this company.
Everything stressful to do with planning a holiday from booking the accommodation to planning activities and some meals are all organised for you, making it a stress free experience.
The tour was very well managed with an incredible tour guide (Roy) to top it all off!
Roy is such an outgoing, loving, caring, professional and knowledgeable individual. It was an absolute treat having him show us around the beautiful Vietnam.
Thank you to the Backpacking Tours for such a great experience and a special thank you to Roy for giving us all an experience to remember for the rest of our lives! ☺️
IndonesiaYou see a lot in a short time and you get to experience different sides of Bali and the cultures.
AustraliaCan’t recommend it enough, I did the 10 day Sydney to Brisbane tour and so glad I did! Most of the group were solo travelers and Faye our group leader was incredible, she was super friendly, organised and answered any questions we had.
PhilippinesGetting to know and helping the community, as well as experiencing such a unique culture I'd never before seen was my favourite moment. The program had the biggest impact on my view on the world, and just how different some places can be. My advice is definitely volunteer, since you're helping people who need it most, and it's an overall great experience.
ThailandHonestly the best 3 weeks you could wish for!
Such a good way to travel as a solo traveller...I was made to feel welcome from the moment I arrived and by the time I left it was hard to believe the group were strangers only 3 weeks ago!
Our tour guides Heart & S were amazing - so much fun, so helpful and they have so much knowledge of Thailand and the areas we visited �
The places we visited and the places we stayed were so varied giving us a full experience of Thailand!
There was never a dull moment and I loved every second of it - I've already started saving for Vietnam next year!
VietnamAfter having an amazing time with BTT, I wasn’t sure if BTV could be anywhere near as good. But I am SO glad I booked on. We had an incredible 23 days, with an amazing group, the perfect mix of activities and our brilliant tour guides - Roy & Juan. I’d strongly recommend you come on this life-changing, fun and adventurous tour. Thank you BTV!
Having done three tours with this company (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand) you could say i kinda like them!! Seriously though, do yourself a favour and book your trip to Thailand with BTT!! It will end up being a journey of a lifetime, an adventure you will never forget and some of the greatest travelling experiences!! Thanks again to Heart, K and Tony; I had the most amazing time!! Not forgetting Simon and Daniel, without you guys there would be no tours!! And now that Bali is up and running, i may have to come along xxx
ThailandIt's so hard to express how amazing my BTT experience was! I loved every activity we did and every place we visited! It was amazing to experience so many different parts and places within Thailand in just 3 weeks, such as meeting elephants, visiting national parks and exploring new cities with new friends. Our tour guides Heart, S and Tony were all fantastic and made sure we had the best time possible! Through booking onto the BTT trip I have made such great memories and met amazing friends that I will see in the future. It's great value for money and I can't recommend BTT enough! I'm now planning my next trip with the 'Backpacking through...' group and can't wait for the adventures to come!
Unbelievable trip with Backpacking Tours! The whole experience was seamless from start to finish. Heart and K, our tour guides, were the life of the party and the soul of the journey. They ensured everyone felt included and each site we visited was more breathtaking than the last. Totally recommend this if you want to dive deep into Thai culture with some awesome new friends along for the ride. I’m already planning my next adventure with them!
Amazing tour, awesome guides, wonderful country!
Don't hesitate to book it!
ThailandTrip of a life time! Our tour guide became a friend i will cherish forever. If you want to see as much of thailand as you can i would recommend this tour company!!
I absolutely loved every bit of the tour with Backpacking Tours. Heart and Tony were incredible guides who really knew their stuff. They made sure everyone had a smashing time. From the buzzing streets of Bangkok to the tranquil islands, every day was filled with adventure and new friends. The whole experience was brilliant, definitely recommend it!
IndonesiaI just got back from Bali, after being on the January tour. I cannot recommend enough! There’s a perfect balance of being busy with lots of activities, and time to yourself to relax. My highlights of the tour were swimming with sea turtles, climbing a volcano to watch the sunrise & whitewater rafting (this isn’t actually on the tour yet, but think it will be added very soon!) Massive thank you to the tour guides / friends Supry & S. They are always on hand to help, and definitely knew how to party! It certainly made the trip having them with us every step of the way! Thanks as well to Daniel who organised everything before the trip. I’d definitely recommend BTB. Don’t think about booking it, just do it!! ?
MadagascarVolunteering in Madagascar was the best experience I ever had. It had a strong impact on me and really changed me, I would strongly recommend everyone to go there.
5 stars ? Before I booked this tour I knew I wanted to travel but didn’t want to do it alone, but also wasn’t sure about doing it with a group, however after reading the reviews I just went for it, if you are reading this and are thinking like I was, just do it! This has honestly been the most incredible 3 weeks and I’m so glad I decided to book with them. I’ve seen many photos from people who have visited Thailand and they’re pretty much the same, but with this tour you get to see so much more than the usual tourist spots, it’s a great mixture of culture, relaxation, partying, adventure and breath-taking views.
The excursions included are brilliant, a good balance between planned activities and free time, and everything is planned so well that you can just relax and enjoy it. Heart and S are amazing tour guides, both full of knowledge but hilarious with it too and they go out of their way to make sure everybody is happy. As somebody who was nervous about travelling alone, I’m grateful to BTT and the amazing group of friends I made for making my first experience so memorable. Looking forward to booking another tour!
CroatiaThe 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
ThailandGoing on this tour was the best decision I've made. S was not just a guide but became a good mate. Every day was packed with excitement and fun, making us forget all our worries. The sights, the food, the people... everything was just perfect. This tour is a must-do for anyone looking to explore Thailand with a bunch of great people.
Thailand5 STARS ALL THE WAY! I absolutely loved my time on this tour. It was my fist time traveling alone and I can say I've met some life long friends from all over the world. The tour was perfect as you got to see so many places and things that you wouldn't think to book or research yourself. It was also the perfect amount of group time/ free time. Where do I even begin to explain the tour guides, S and Jhony not only did you blow my mind with all the information and background of everything but you became friends instead of tour guides.
Would highly recommend to ANYONE looking to travel Thailand.
VietnamHow do I put this experience into words? Every element of this tour has exceeded my expectations. From the food to the accommodation (the sleeper bus not so comfortable but a pretty unique and funny experience you have to do!) The activities included are everything and more you would want with a tour. There is a perfect ratio of free time/scheduled activities. The route is spot on, I feel I have seen the contrasting areas of this beautiful country and really traveled off the beaten track as well as seeing the tourist highlights. The tour is very well organized and ran smoothly the whole time. I feel I have seen the real Vietnam which could not have been done as a solo traveler. Definitely value for money. Aside from the tour, this whole experience has been made a million times better due to the incredible tour guides Huy (Uncle Jackie) and Juan. Jackie, I can not rate you enough. You are professional, honest, knowledgeable, welcoming, caring, funny and everything else you would want in the BEST tour guide! Even on your days off you took us out which ended up being highlights of the trip. The passion you have for your job and the effort you put into this tour is inspirational. You have made this trip an unforgettable experience I will no doubt be telling my grandchildren about! I gained not only an awesome experience but also a dear friend I hope to see again in the future To anyone thinking of traveling to Vietnam, I highly recommend this trip. I encourage you to book Backpacking Through Vietnam. You will not be disappointed.
ThailandAs someone who was nervous about traveling I couldn’t recommend this any more for people. After the first day I’d 24 friends and was settled in straight away. The two tour guides K and S are a ray of sunshine. I would make another trip just to see the two guys again anytime they said something I was smiling or laughing and they were always looking out for everyone. The 3 bus drivers were also brilliant, even though they’d little English they still had me laughing and had good fun with them. Book it and enjoy it
IndonesiaJust returned from a fantastic trip with Backpacking Bali! The tour included beautiful temples, vibrant markets, and some amazing beach spots. The itinerary was well-paced with plenty of time to explore each location thoroughly. An absolute must for travelers.
Absolutely chuffed with our Sri Lankan adventure courtesy of Backpacking Tours! Dam and Sam were brilliant – everything sorted from start to finish. A perfect mix of culture, thrills, and downtime. Highly recommended!
ThailandJust got back from the most incredible Thailand trip. I can’t recommend this tour enough - it was so well organised and the perfect way to explore such an amazing country, trying all the delicious food and visiting so many different places!
The trip wouldn’t have been the same without our guide S, who went above and beyond for the group and made the whole experience unforgettable. He really brought everyone together and made sure we had the best time.
Massive shoutout to our driver Benz as well, who made getting around completely stress-free. When our train broke down, he came to pick us up and drove an extra 7 hours just to get us to the next stop.
Huge thanks to S and Benz for making this such a special experience!
ThailandI have just finished the Thailand tour and have to say it’s one of the best experiences I’ve had travelling.
Heart and S became more then tour guides, they are now my brothers from another mother! They have so much knowledge to give, are friendly, funny, kind and caring and absolute pranksters. They made sure everyone was included and went above and beyond to look after one of our group members that was sick. I hope one day to have them over in Australia so we can go fishing ?!
The experiences / day trips were spot on! Culture, history, nature, rural and urban the time was well spent. Lots of temples, great Thai food, beaches and beautiful scenery the whole way. The Wildlife park and the Elephants is something that will stay with me forever?
I’ve traveled alone and could have done all these activities solo... but it wouldn’t have been half as good as doing it with these guys. To have a group of over 20 people, from all over the world, with different personalities come together and become the closest of mates is amazing. I love each and all of my group members and will be friends with them for life!
This is my second trip with Backpacking Tours, I did Vietnam last March. I highly recommend them. Everything is professional.
I’m looking forward to seeing my BTT family in Sri Lanka 2021.
Peace ✌?

ThailandBTT, you guys rock! The Thailand tour was everything I hoped for and more. K and Heart were phenomenal - their knowledge and enthusiasm made all the difference. We saw incredible sights, enjoyed delicious food, and met the best people. This tour is a must-do for anyone wanting to explore Thailand with fun, safe, and knowledgeable guides. Thanks for an unforgettable adventure!
IndonesiaOur Bali tour was a dream come true, exploring the vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes. Each day was filled with new adventures, from hiking up volcanic trails to relaxing on pristine beaches, all seamlessly facilitated to ensure a memorable and stress-free experience.
IndonesiaI had the most amazing experience on the ultimate Indonesia tour! Med tour guide was incredible throughout the trip! Can't recommend him enough. The whole trip had been amazing!

ThailandI couldn’t be more happy with the way this tour has turned out. Spending 3 weeks with the best tour guides K, S, and Heart made my whole trip that much better. Not only do they make you feel so safe, but they’re hilarious, out going, extremely friendly and just all around amazing. The tour was filled with activities but also just enough free days. Making friends with everyone on the tour was also a huge aspect of my trip. I couldn’t imagine another way to travel Thailand!
Backpackingtours has been a great experience and S our tour guide has been phenomenal.
ThailandMy partner and I have been out in Thailand for over 2 weeks now and the tour so far has been absolutely fantastic. With a week to go we have already covered so much of what the country has to offer and yet there is still more to do! We have faced challenges and done things we never thought we could, and now have some unforgettable memories. Our tour guide S and driver Kit made the entire experience so special and immersed us in Thai culture, answered questions about the country and introduced us to friends which made the trip even more memorable. I can truly recommend the tour to anybody wanting to travel the world as this is a safe and effective way to do just that. The best trip I have ever been on, hands down and some life-long friends made too. 10/10.
Edited 12th July 2022 following a second trip to Vietnam.
Following on from Thailand we travelled to Vietnam where our Tour guide Huy (Jackie) showed us his beautiful yet complex country. We made so many new friends and memories. Having Huy's knowledge and know-how whilst here has been indispensable and made the trip feel safe and seamless from start to finish. The food, culture and scenery should be experienced by anyone looking to travel the world. Another amazing adventure from Backpacking tours. Thank you 🙏
ZanzibarMy experience in Zanzibar was quite unique. I discovered a paradise-like island with white sand beatches and blue water. But what I remember the most was the people of Zanzibar: the nicest persons I have never met. They are so friendly and adorable, always smiling, singing a nice song with "Hakuna Matata" or dancing, in brief enjoying life. You will be part of the local life very easily with them.
I definitly recommend this experience !
ThailandWithout a doubt the best holiday I have and may ever experience as whatever I do next has got a very high bar to top ...... if your reading this and considering booking this trip then just stop! And do it you won't regret it : )
VietnamDid 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!
Such and amazing tour! And you wont get better guides!!
MadagascarOverall, I felt very well prepared before starting my trip. I felt very well supported throughout the duration of my volunteer experience by the local team. What a great group of hard working individuals! I continue to reflect on the level of eagerness and interest demonstrated by the students, children, teens and adults. Children attended the classes despite being on school break! My favourite moment was hearing students call out my name while walking about in the village following my volunteer teaching experience. I couldn't believe they remembered my name. This trip generated a renewed sense of gratitude for all things available to me at home. If you are thinking about volunteering, go for it! You won't regret it and will only grow from the experience.
This tour an amazing, highly recommended
CambodiaI recommend this tour and this company to everyone! After doing the Vietnam tour in 2017, this January I joined the Cambodia tour! The tour is very well put together, all the activities are great. Plus, there's a good balance between activities and free time. The guides work tirelessly throughout the tour to make the trip the best experience it could be! Exploring Angkor Wat to a cycling tour and a cookinglesson, it was all amazing!
ThailandWe had recently done a private tour of Thailand for our honeymoon and I cannot express enough how organised and well managed everything was. From taxis to hotels to activities, everything was phenomenal! Backpacking tours were always available to contact throughout if there were any hiccups but honestly i highly recommend using this company. We will be re-booking for future tours! Thanks again for a memory of a lifetime!
Sri LankaGreat tour. Visited some spectacular places with some awesome people. A great diversity of locations and travel time was never too long. Guide, Sameera, was exceedingly passionate about his country. Incredible accommodation and comfortable travel.
ThailandMy first and definitely not the last trip with these guys. The best 3 weeks I’ve ever experienced with amazing tour guides which look after us from day one and never failed to provided entertainment
Would 100% recommend anyone to go backpacking with Backpacking Thought Thailand
VietnamI did the 2 weeks in Northern Vietnam. Our guide Sandy was amazing. This tour was very organized, and with flexibility to accommodate what the group wanted. (For example we wanted to try some Anthony Bourdoin food spots and she made that happen). The accommodation was all very clean and everyone on our trip was very friendly. Our guide helped us translate when needed too.
ThailandI have just returned from the January Tour and can only say that I have had the best 3 weeks of my life. I have met the best group of people that were like a family, and the experiences we shared and places we visited were amazing! ❤️ The tour guides were also incredible, and made the experience even better if that’s possible! I would highly recommend booking this ASAP, there is no way you will regret it! 🎉❤️ I would do anything to turn back the clock and go back to the 9th of January to do it all over again! 👍🏼
ThailandBTT FAMILY! 💖 I have never been more grateful for an experience in my life. Building self-confidence and mingling with so many different people. Heart, S and K? Thank you for everything you did for us over the 3 weeks. You guys made it everything it could be and more. You worked so hard to keep us all happy and I don't think you could have done any more. I had a few bad days and each person continuously checked to see if I was okay. Thank you.. and K, our final night, you didn't have to join us but you showed that no matter what, you were always the biggest team player and you showed us a great time for the last time. Amazing experiences that you would definitely not do having booked it privately.. Khao Sol NP being one thing I definitely would never do if it hadn't been for this tour. Having 3 locals along the way adds so much to the culture. Being able to pick and choose also plays a huge part as sometimes you do want to just chill out. I've made some amazing friends and loved every minute! I would recommend this trip to anyone and I'd recommend the company just as much. I will definitely be back in another country and I will definitely be back to visit my favourite 3 Thai men! 😚 xxx
Booking with them has been the best decision i have ever made, one of the most beautiful countries i have visited, thanks for make me live the best experience of my life with a new good friends
JapanHighly recommended! The tour balanced activities and leisure. Our guide, Mike, was exceptional, sharing insightful knowledge and excellent downtime suggestions. The trip couldn't have been better!
ThailandThis tour is a must!!! I can't thank Heart,
Tony and S enough for making this experience such a memorable one. You guys always kept us smiling and entertained. From the moment I booked this tour the communication was great. Backpackingthroughthailand allows you to experience Thailand in the best way possible. Everything is well organised and all you have to do it turn up and make sure you have the most incredible time.
The itinerary allows you to see the history and the culture as well as have some free time to absorb the county. I had the most amazing 3 weeks and couldn't have asked for a better group of friends to have shared it with. Thank you BTT! Xx
Sri LankaThe Backpacking Tour Sri Lanka has been the best experience ever! I arrived in Sri Lanka and from that moment on Dam and Sam took care of everything. I did not have to worry about a thing. They welcomed me with a smile at the airport and took me to the first accommodation in the very comfy van. They made sure that the whole group had a great time. The itinery was a perfect mixture of cultural experieneces, sporty activities (if you want to), relaxing time at the beach and so much more. Dam introduced us to Sri lankan food and explained so many things along the way. His knowledge is incredible. You can really tell that he is passionate about his job and there was not a single question he could not answer.
Our group was also very lucky to have Sam, our driver. He was always there to get our luggage and get us to the next place safley. Both,Sam and Dam were absolutely considerate and would even help with individual requests and if you had a problem they solved it! I absolutely loved my time here, especially the surfing lesson at the beach and the evenings we spent together. We came as strangers and leave as friends- all thanks to Dam and Sam!
Sri LankaAmazing tour! Would recommend to everyone who wants to see Sri Lanka � it was so much fun. Dam and Sam are the best!
VietnamI cannot recommend the the Vietnam tour with Huy highly enough. It’s been an incredible 23 days that have flown by. The tour covered all the best bits of Vietnam, and Huy was incredibly knowledgable and helpful throughout. As a solo traveller, backpacking tours felt like the best way to see Vietnam, as everything was clearly set out and organised in advance, and being with a group definitely made the experience. Thank you Huy for making visiting Vietnam so incredible !!!
Amazing experience..
Amazing guides..
Best trip ever !��
Sri LankaOnce again, thank you to Dam & Sam for making my first solo travel experience so amazing and giving me fabulous memories to last a lifetime.
The organisation, teamwork and knowledge delivered shows the passion these two have for their jobs, and it’s very refreshing.
There wasn’t one moment whereby I didn’t feel safe. In fact, I felt I was treated like a Royal! These two definitely go out their way to make sure you want for nothing.
The transport was plush, very clean and well driven by Sam. Fresh bottled water available everyday too, which is very much appreciated.
The hotels were all well selected, with a good variety serving good food. They were all clean, providing towels and many with tea and coffee making facilities. Perfect for what we needed.
The photo gift these two organised for each of us showing our highlights was a really lovely touch, something to take home and treasure.
If I had to pick a favourite part of the trip. The Royal palace of Kandy, Gems factory & Royal Botanical Garden was pretty high up there for me.
Dam’s knowledge is incredible and he delivers it very well, and had no hesitation in answering any questions we had about Sri Lanka.
I will absolutely be making sure everyone from my home town knows about Backpacking Tours and this Sri Lanka trip as I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough.
Maybe see you both sometime in the future.
Many thanks again
Sarah.
I have literally never written a review before but reading these Facebook reviews convinced me to book this trip and it was honestly the best decision! The trip has a combination of all things Thailand and I got to do so many activities I never would have on my own like camping, swimming with elephants, staying on floating bungalows but most importantly getting the chance to travel with amazing people who you can surprisingly grow so close to in just 24 hours! Heart and S are the best tour guides I've ever had, they know so much about the history, culture and drinking habits of Thailand. true locals who gave me a ton of help and insight into Thailand! If you want to put your money towards a trip well worth its value this is the one! Won't forget this amazing 3 weeks anytime soon, thank you again BTT
JapanQuite 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!
FijiMy highlight from the volunteer experience was swimming at the beach with all the kids. The biggest impact my volunteering trip had on me was seeing how grateful and happy all the kids and people in Fiji are all the time even though they don’t have much makes me realise how much we take for granted. My advice is just do it it’s a lifetime experience you’ll never forgot and you’ll want to do it again .
VietnamWhat an epic journey the Vietnam tour was! Managed by Backpacking Tours and led by the legendary guide, Huy, this trip was a blast from start to finish. Huy not only knew his stuff but also knew how to keep the energy up. We covered all the major sights, tried some exotic food, and even had time for a few lazy beach days. Cheers to Huy and the team for this flawless trip!
VietnamI can't actually put into words what I think of this amazing company. I did the Thailand tour and this tour back to back and loved every minute of both. Initially, I was nervous to travel alone and wasn't sure what to expect but BTT & BTV exceeded all my expectations. It was hassle free and had the right amount of everything. It was also completely customizable, and if you wanted to do something different then what was intended for the day they would help you do it. My Tour guides and new friends Heart & Huy absolutely killed it and went out of their way to make sure everyone always had a great time. Beyond the tour, the best part was that I met so so many beautiful people from all around the world who will now be friends for life. Don't hesitate to book this trip to magnificent Vietnam! X
ThailandThis tour was the best thing I've ever done! I saw so much of Thailand in the 3 weeks and we saw places you wouldn't see if you were travelling on your own. I met the most amazing people and our tour guide heart was the best, he was so kind to us all and also great fun! Il be telling all my friends to do this tour.
ThailandI have no idea how to express my experience with BPTT, all I can say is I have made life long friends including the guides. I have seen things that most people would only dream of! I felt 100% comfortable knowing my guides were there if I needed anything even helping me with an extra week in Thailand! Recommend this to anyone who wants to stop dreaming and start seeing for yourselves!
Thank you for everything (=
until next time...
South KoreaI 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
ThailandI cannot put into words how good this tour was, it is the best experience of my life. It is so well organised with the three tour guides, S, K and Heart who were brilliant and so funny you have to go on the tour just for them. We done so many activities and saw so many sites Thailand is amazing there was never a boring moment. We had the best group who I will stay friends with forever. If you are debating going on this tour just book it you will not regret I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
ThailandAfter seeing this tour advertised on Facebook, I booked this tour in a whim without doing much research into it, but in this instance it certainly paid off. From the very first introduction to the last night of the three week tour, our leaders Tony, Heart and S made us feel so welcome in their home country, by answering questions as best they could, and reassuring any of our doubts all while making sure we had loads of fun. The tour itself is unique in that it lets people experience Thailand outside of the typical tourist locations and allows us to see this beautiful place through the eyes of the locals. From the day trips to the nights out, I had some of the best and most memorable days of my life on the BTT tour, all of which would not have been possible without the three amazing leaders. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking of traveling to Thailand, especially to any solo travelers as there is no better way to make friends!
ThailandI’ve just got back from the 16th June Backpacking through Thailand tour and can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life!!
I’ve had the honour of meeting and spending the last 3 weeks with some of the most amazing people and have made friendships that will last a lifetime.
Our tour guide Heart went above and beyond what you could expect for every single person, as well as just being one of the nicest and friendliest people i’ve ever met - he is now more like a friend than a guide.
The activities were so varied and fun every day as well as amazing value for money! The tour is so well set out to ensure that we keep moving everyday to be where we need to be, but also see everything that Thailand has to offer in each place. Can’t recommend this tour and company enough :)
VietnamTook the Vietnam tour with Backpacking Tours and wow, just wow! Huy, our guide, was a fountain of knowledge and the most enthusiastic person you'll ever meet. He made sure we soaked in all the cultural gems and hidden spots. The tour was well-organized, punctual, and every day was a new adventure. Highly recommend for anyone looking to dive deep into Vietnam's beauty with a top-quality tour company. Absolutely worth every penny!
This was the best three weeks of my entire life. I didn't want to leave! I travelled alone and came back tearful, with the best life-long friends and the most amazing memories. From boat trips, camping, pool days, temples, city exploring, beaches, parties, snorkeling, and much more. We weren't lucky with the weather (November) and some night time accommodation was questionable � but we all still loved it. Thank you to our amazing tour guides xxx
CambodiaHaving done the BTV tour early last year given the beyond amazing time I had I knew the BTC tour with this company would deliver and guess what!? IT DID!!!!! Gotta give a big shout out to Jhony and S our two tour guides that made the experience that much better! I can’t say enough about this company! Totally recommend using this company if your looking for the perfect combination of culture , sights and partying!!! Such a good time!!!!
MadagascarI had zero travel experience before deciding to volunteer in Madagascar, and even with that I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. There was never a time where I felt unsafe or scared. On weekends, we had the opportunity to see and do so many amazing things. My projects were worthwhile and meaningful to the community. Also, I met some amazing people that I can now consider lifelong friends. This experience was worth everything and more.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! S and the bus drivers were awesome looked after us so well! The minibus drivers did so much more than their job and were so much fun! S was one of the funniest guys we have ever bet he always keeps you entertained even in the morning when he's just woken up MORNING EVERYBODY! He couldn't of done more for us always there for advised and thinking of games to play all the boys loved man games which were an on going thing the whole trip. Everyone on the tour was so friendly and we all had such a lovely time together and have made friendships from all over the world would recommend this trip very much! We are now backpacking on our own and are loving it but wouldn't of know what to do if we hadn't done this tour. Thank you so much and the biggest thank you to S for looking after us so well! Friend for life. Love Kayliegh and Shane x
ThailandThis trip all around was a trip of a lifetime! Made so many life long memories and friends throughout this adventure!! There were some ups and downs along the way but it was all for the experience! The tour guides were fantastic, they make you feel so safe and are there for you from day one!!! I couldn't of asked for better tour guides❤️ I highly recommend this tour backpacking through Thailand! Just be ready to party hard and have the best 3 weeks of your life!!!
Sri Lanka Tour - what an incredible country and a great way to see almost all of it! Dam & Sam really made the trip an incredible experience and helped teach us all so much about their beautiful world! Never without an answer to any question as much as I tried!! Couldn’t recommend them more! Miss the pair already feel like I’ve left family behind!
ThailandHonestly I can't put in to words how amazing the tour was. I've wanted to go to Thailand for years and the itinery put together by the company was perfect. Surpassed my expectations. S and K were amazing tour guides, kind, funny and caring. I felt very well looked after throughout the tour. 3rd August tour group became a little family. Thailand will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you BTT for making it an incredible experience. 100% recommend to anyone to book this tour 😊🤗
