I’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.
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.

Sri 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!

I 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.

Whether 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 :)

Volunteering 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.

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.

I 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.
