Having just finished up on the Backpacking Through Vietnam tour I can honestly say it was the best trip I have ever been on!! It is wonderfully planned including an insane amount of great activities, both local treats and tourist hotspots, which are all made more enjoyable with the expert help of our guide Huy!! Huy made this trip for me with his insane amount of knowledge, love for his country, and his efforts to make everything a smooth as possible for myself and everyone in the group 😆 I was incredibly lucky to also have an absolutely amazing group of friends to travel this beautiful country with 💕 thank you so much Huy and Backpacking Tours for the most incredible trip!! I HIGHLY recommend BTV 🎉

I recently completed the 17 day New Zealand tour. My group leader was Niamh, she was incredible. Everything was organised and sorted, we always had the most amazing experiences. By far the best tour I have done, everyday was filled with activities and Niamh made every moment memorable

I genuinely can't imagine a better way to experience Thailand. This was my first time traveling abroad, so I was pretty nervous, especially with such a large (30+) group of people! But the tour guides were fantastic - S was great at getting introverts like myself out of their shells and helping everyone get along, Heart was fantastic at keeping everyone organised and making sure everyone was safe and at ease, and K was great at socialising with our group and being someone you could talk to whenever you needed it. Thailand is a beautiful, amazing place, and you can tell the guides wanted to share that and make sure we loved it just as much as they do. They've absolutely succeeded - this has been such an amazing experience for me, and I've made some friends for life.

I never expected to enjoy this tour as much as I did!! 21 strangers were thrown together for 21 days but left with countless memories. The tour includes such a great mix of true Thai culture, tourist attractions and life time experiences but also time to do your own thing. Our guides S and Tony were amazing... as long as you were having a good time they were having a good time and they were more than just tour guides, they were also our friends. Don’t even think about it, just book it now!!!

Highly recommended.

Just finished the Vietnam tour. This is my second tour with Backpacking tours and both tours have been excellent.
The tours are well organised and a good way to see a country without having to worry about anything. Even on free days the guides can recommend activities and get involved themselves.
Thanks to Roy for being an excellent tour guide on the Vietnam tour and thanks to Heart, S and K for the Thailand tour.

This is an incredibly enjoyable experience that I hope has made an impact on the local community and wildlife. I wish I could have stayed longer as It began to feel like family. I hope one day to come back and visit.
