The best trip of a life time!! I booked the tour not having much experience with travelling and I'm so pleased I did it, everyday you are reassured by the best tour guides s, heart and Tony that you are in safe hands. Everything is so well organised and the activities are so much fun! I can only describe this trip as the best journey of my life with the most amazing people... so massive thank you to you all �

Young travelers share a fun group dinner at a bustling outdoor restaurant in Bangkok.Thailand

This trip has been one of the most amazing and life changing experiences I’ve had. My group and tour guide really did make it so special, as well as the day to day activities that are incredible- from the nature side of the trip including waterfalls, national parks and tiger cubs to the most rewarding local school visits. I would recommend this tour company to everyone and especially the Thailand trip.

Backpacking group sharing Balinese dinner together at a long tableIndonesia

My trip to Bali with Backpacking Tours was nothing short of incredible. The comprehensive tour covered everything from the iconic Uluwatu Temple to secluded beaches and local markets. Each day was perfectly balanced with activities and free time, allowing us to soak in the rich Balinese culture and stunning landscapes at our own pace.

Loved my time with BTV! Cant recommend Vietnam and the tour enough, such a beautiful country filled with culture, scenery and some of the happiest and most inspirational people I've ever met. BTV was a great way to experience it all that I'd never have got doing it alone.



Our guides (and new friends) Roy and Juan were phenomenal, couldn't of dreamt of getting anyone better. They took care of everything we needed and were full of knowledge about history, culture, bars/restaurants and anything else you could possibly wish to know about Vietnam. Not only that but many laughs, drinks and fun times were shared. I can't thank them enough for the experiences in Vietnam, I'll definitely be back!

Just returned from the most amazing two weeks in Costa Rica! The perfect balance of adventure, wildlife (so many sloths!!) and chill beach time, with an instant group of new friends for solo travellers like me. Our tour leader Mari was brilliant at creating a fun but safe environment, and we all had an amazing trip thanks to her.
For anyone travelling solo, don't be afraid to book the trip!

Quite an experience to see such a big difference in culture. Also our guide Sherry did her very best to help everyone and to make sure everyone had a good time. Every morning she is waiting with a smile until the group is complete. Thanks again!
