It 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!

I finished the 17 day NZL tour about a week ago and oh my god it was one of the greatest things I’ve ever done! Stunning locations and loads of activities to do, there was never a dull moment. Our tour leader Faye was AMAZING, so kind, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. I would 100% recommend doing this tour, the friends and memories will stay for life!

Absolutely wonderful tour group with amazing reps. Go see for yourselves. �

The 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.

Backpacking 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.

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.

Absolutely love our 10 day east coast tour with the wonderful Chloe! Everything was well organised, ran to schedule, nice balance of activities and free time. Always felt safe and looked after. Very good value too!
