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.

Just book it! I did the Thailand tour last year so had high expectations for Vietnam and it was incredible. Our tour guides Roy and Juan were top-class, 'knowledgeable, fun and caring'. We're now family for life.The transport, accommodation, food and activities were all of high standard and I loved the opportunities of free time in this action-packed tour of Vietnam. Looking forward to the Bali tour next. Thanks guys for a trip of a lifetime. Denis O'Malley, Ireland.

Absolutely amazing trip loved every minute of the tour. We came 15 individual people and left a family. I honestly wasn’t prepared for the beauty of Thailand but so glad we had heart and S experience and knowledge. Would absolutely do another tour with you guys, miss you already. Take a bow btt �

What an experience! I can’t put those 3 weeks into words, from the very start I felt looked after by Daniel and this continued throughout the tour. S, Tony and Heart all made the trip go as smoothly as possible, on occasion going above and beyond what I imagine their job roles are! I was hesitant at first travelling outside of Europe alone but not once did I regret it once I’d taken off in England! From day 1 it felt like I’d just gone away with 34 friends from home and by day 4 it felt like we’d been in Thailand months together! You see so much, definitely more than you would do on a trip alone and it took away all of the worry of booking transport and accommodation as literally everything is done for you! They recommend places to go for food and have tried and tested the excursions to ensure that they’re the best on offer.. I can’t say enough how amazing this trip was! Any questions feel free to ask!!

I have just completed the 17 day Japan Experience and had the best time! Adam was an amazing group leader and always went above and beyond to ensure that the group were having the best time! He is a natural at his job role and his hard work behind the scenes was evident throughout. Adam always ensured that my dietary requirements were addressed. Japan is definitely possible for veggies/vegans, but I would recommend doing your own research beforehand and always having a stash of snacks in your backpack for the times when it’s a little trickier to find suitable options! Overall, I would highly recommend this tour :)
