Choosing Backpacking Tours for our Bali expedition was the best decision. The tour included a variety of activities that highlighted the island's diverse landscapes and cultural practices. Sunrise treks, local cuisine tasting, and temple visits were organized seamlessly, providing a comprehensive and enjoyable experience.

I cannot put into words how good this tour was, it is the best experience of my life. It is so well organised with the three tour guides, S, K and Heart who were brilliant and so funny you have to go on the tour just for them. We done so many activities and saw so many sites Thailand is amazing there was never a boring moment. We had the best group who I will stay friends with forever. If you are debating going on this tour just book it you will not regret I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

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.

Our guide Sandy was amazing. This tour was very organized, and with flexibility to accommodate what the group wanted. (For example we wanted to try some Anthony Bourdoin food spots and she made that happen). The accommodation was all very clean and everyone on our trip was very friendly. Our guide helped us translate when needed too.

This tour was a MAJOR bucket list check-off! Bali with Backpacking Tours was an absolute dream. The landscapes were postcard-perfect, our lodgings were cozy and inviting, and our guide, knew exactly where to take us for the best views and experiences. The group dynamics were fantastic; it was like travelling with a family you got to choose. Sad it's over, but I’m looking at their other tours for my next adventure!
