I 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�

The 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!

Had an amazing time and met some lovely people. Considering doing the Vietnam.

Overall, 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.

Enjoyed every second of my trip! Would highly recommend. Had the best time with my Tour guide Tess! she was so lovely and also helpful. If we wanted to go somewhere she’d recommend us places to go/see

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

It 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!!
