Smiling women in pink dresses explore a vibrant temple hallway, observing the sights in Singburi, Thailand.Thailand

Did the Thailand tour in August 2018 and had an absolutely ace time! It really lived up to the itinerary as we did all these amazing activities, but also had plenty of free time to explore, and Thailand is so wonderful! It was full of amazing opportunities and you see and do things that are once in a lifetime moments. Plenty of parties, lots of laughs, cultural trips, cute animals and amazing food (especially Heart’s BBQ)! S, Heart and K were the most incredible, enthusiastic and funny tour guides and honestly the most lovely people I’ve ever met. They went above and beyond to make sure every second of the tour was amazing and it really was. For anyone hesitant to book - do it! I went alone as a shy, clueless 18-year-old and this was not only was the best 3 weeks of my life, it made me grow massively as a person.

I came back and did the Vietnam tour in July 2022. A completely different experience but equally as amazing as the Thailand tour with beautiful sights, lots of fun activities and a lot of learning about Vietnam’s rich culture and history. Our tour guide Huy was amazing and so passionate and knowledgeable about his country, he is so lovely and really made the tour super special. He also went above and beyond for us to make sure we all had the best time, and we definitely did! Met the loveliest bunch of people on this tour and we all became great friends with memories to last a lifetime! Vietnam is an incredible country and this tour covers so much of it. I’m so glad I came back with this company and would definitely book with them again!

Backpacking friends enjoying scenic boat ride in Khao Sok.Thailand

I have no idea how to express my experience with BPTT, all I can say is I have made life long friends including the guides. I have seen things that most people would only dream of! I felt 100% comfortable knowing my guides were there if I needed anything even helping me with an extra week in Thailand! Recommend this to anyone who wants to stop dreaming and start seeing for yourselves!
Thank you for everything (=
until next time...

Backpacking Sri Lanka with Dam and Sam!

What an incredible trip and an experience of a lifetime! Sri Lanka is such a beautiful country, and I feel so lucky to have experienced it with Dam and Sam! This tour exceeded my expectations and it is down to these two making the trip the absolute best!! They went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best time and were all safe and happy. I felt so well looked after on this tour and It really wouldn’t have been the same without them. If you’re wanting to travel to Sri Lanka this is the tour you should book!! You’ll be in the best hands and guaranteed to have an amazing time! Thank you Dam and Sam for showing us your stunning country! I have made memories that will last forever.

Getting to know and helping the community, as well as experiencing such a unique culture I'd never before seen was my favourite moment. The program had the biggest impact on my view on the world, and just how different some places can be. My advice is definitely volunteer, since you're helping people who need it most, and it's an overall great experience.

Joyful man in a 'Backpacking Bali' shirt rides a skimboard on a wave, thumbs-up.Indonesia

Just gotten back from 18 days in Bali and I can honestly say it was the best holiday I've ever been on!

Not only is Bali a beautiful country but the people on my tour group were extremely friendly (we're even meeting up again in the UK later this year) and our guide Supry couldn't have been more helpful!

I'll definitely be using Backpacking Tours for my next holiday!

Thanks once again for an amazing experience!

Meeting and getting to know all the other volunteers from over the world and getting to teach the grade 5s was my favorite moment. The impact my volunteering trip had on me was meeting the locals in Bali and learning about their culture and customs. Everyone is extremely welcoming and open to getting to know each other.
