I would definitely recommend this tour its a once in a life time opportunity, life is short & the world is wide...� #BTT2017�

I had such a blast on this trip and I honestly wish I could’ve stayed for the full 12 days. We had Taylor and Paula as our group leaders and they are just so incredibly bubbly, welcoming, and accommodating to everyone. I have chronic fatigue and I was really worried about doing my first solo group tour, especially in a country I’d never been to, but it was such a great experience and the itinerary was incredibly flexible. I’ve made some really great friends from around the world on this trip and formed some close bonds so I’m very glad I made the decision to tag along. Lots of respect for everyone that made this happen, I’ll definitely be joining in again in the future x

This 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.

The Vietnam Tour with Backpacking Tours was absolutely phenomenal, thanks to our wonderful guide, Huy. Over 23 days, we experienced the raw beauty and complex history of Vietnam. Huy's efforts and his fun, kind-hearted nature enriched our travels and activities, making every moment memorable. With diverse landscapes and modes of travel, this tour offers excellent value and a comprehensive Vietnamese experience.

Backpackers carry large baskets of fruit to feed elephants at a sanctuary in Thailand.Thailand

After 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!

Getting 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.
