After 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!

How 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.

I 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 !!!

Had an amazing time exploring costa rica with the best guide Mariangel. She brought everyone together with good vibes and lots of laughs. Wouldn't have been the same without her. She always went above and beyond and got us to the best local places. Knowledgeable on all animals and cultures in costa rica with action packed activities and also the option to relax when needed
