Travelling through Thailand with Backpacking Tours was an absolute treat. The guide, S, was fantastic, always going above and beyond to ensure we all had the best time. His knowledge of Thai culture and history was impressive and made our visits to each site even more meaningful. The tour itself was well-paced, with just the right mix of activities and downtime. Loved every minute!

Without a doubt the best holiday I have and may ever experience as whatever I do next has got a very high bar to top ...... if your reading this and considering booking this trip then just stop! And do it you won't regret it : )

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.

Sri Lanka was a total blast, thanks to Backpacking Tours and our fab guides, Dam and Sam! Superb attention to detail and heaps of local knowledge. Safe, fun, and totally engaging. You'd be daft not to book with them!

I did the Korea tour. It was so good. I did so many things I would never have booked on my own. It is very fast paced but you do get free time.
