Just returned from the 15 day tour of Cambodia. I had such an excellent time with such an amazing group of people. As a solo traveller I was apprehensive not knowing anyone but from the get go we were all introduced and I got to know everyone. The guides work tirelessly throughout the entire duration of the trip ensuring that everyone is happy, knows where to go, things to do etc, even on free time they are making recommendations and helping you where required, they really make the whole trip so smooth. The itinerary itself is so well planned, well communicated and gives you access to some of the most beautiful parts of the country.The accommodation and food recommendations are perfect, all hotel check ins went smoothly and hotels were of such a high quality and the same can be said for the restaurants we ate at and the activities we did. The team work so hard to make the trip work for the group to ensure everyone gets the best experience out of it & I will certainly be booking again on another tour with Backpacking Through I would like to thank our guides Jhony and Vanna, both full of an excellent knowledge of the country, the people, religion and history, no question was unanswered & always up for a party and drinking on the nights!

Vietnam is a stunning country, and exploring it with Huy from Backpacking Tours was an absolute pleasure. He made sure we experienced the authenticity of each location, from historical landmarks to local eateries. His passion for Vietnam and its culture was contagious and added so much value to our journey.

I have just arrived back from a 3 week tour of Thailand and I could not recommend this tour enough. As a solo female traveller I was initially worried about travelling so far away on my own but as soon as I arrived and was greeted by one of the drivers, Krit, I knew I was in safe hands. No question or need was ever too big or too small for our tour guide S and our drivers Krit and Ben, they ensured that our experience was memorable and smooth-sailing. From fixing my broken shoes to ensuring I had the best birthday out in Thailand, the three of them made my trip one of the most memorable experiences of my life. On top of this, I have not only seen the most beautiful places of Thailand and had a trip of a lifetime but I have also made friends who I know I will keep in contact with even after the trip. If you are unsure on whether to go somewhere solo, I would 100% recommend backpacking tours but especially the Thailand tour!!

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 �

Just returned from a spectacular tour of Vietnam with Backpacking Tours, and it was a trip of a lifetime! The organization was impeccable, and our guide, Huy, was phenomenal. His expertise and passion for Vietnam made the trip extra special. We explored deep into the heart of Vietnam, from bustling markets to tranquil rice paddies. Thanks to Huy and Backpacking Tours, this trip was nothing short of magical.
