I loved the family feel with all the local team coordinators as I felt safe, heard, and accommodated for. My favorite moment from the volunteer experience was interacting with the children and teachers.

5 stars 😊 Before I booked this tour I knew I wanted to travel but didn't want to do it alone, but also wasn't sure about doing it with a group, however after reading the reviews I just went for it, if you are reading this and are thinking like I was, just do it! This has honestly been the most incredible 3 weeks and i'm so glad I decided to book with them. I've seen many photos from people who have visited Thailand and they're pretty much the same, but with this tour you get to see so much more than the usual tourist spots, it's a great mixture of culture, relaxation, partying, adventure and breath-taking views. The excursions included are brilliant, a good balance between planned activities and free time, and everything is planned so well that you can just relax and enjoy it. Heart and S are amazing tour guides, both full of knowledge but hilarious with it too and they go out of their way to make sure everybody is happy. As somebody who was nervous about travelling alone, i'm grateful to BTT and the amazing group of friends I made for making my first experience so memorable. Looking forward to booking another tour!

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!

I booked the 17-day Japan tour for my daughter, and she had such a good time. Mai was really helpful. Thanks for all your help

I've just completed the 17 day Japan trip and I wanted to say a big thank you to Charlie for such an amazing trip, I had so much fun and I'm sure everyone else did too. It wouldn't have run so smoothly without your expert guidance and support throughout the trip. Thank you for being such an amazing leader, and keep up the great work!
