I had the most amazing time of my life travelling around Thailand with BTT November 2016. The tour guides Heart and S are such lovely guys and really are a credit to the company. They go out of there way to make sure everyone is looked after. They are always up for a laugh and get stuck in with everything. They are so uplifting to be around and great at their jobs.

We visited some amazing places, places that you probably wouldn't find if you went by yourself. You really get the most out of the trip as there's always something going on. Whether it's staying on floating bungalows by the river, having a night out on Bangkoks famous Khaosan road, feeding giraffes, relaxing on a stunning beach, partying on phi phi island or swimming in waterfalls. There's always something fun going on.

I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a taster of what traveling is like or to someone who just wants to meet new people and have a fun holiday in the sun. There's something for everyone.
I met so many great friends for life and had the one of the best experiences of my life that I will always remember.

Definitely looking into booking the Vietnam trip next!!!! ��

This 10-day group tour in Australia exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I met my fellow travelers and our guide, the energy was warm, everything was exciting, and the pace was just right for soaking in all the incredible experiences! Our group explored iconic highlights and beaches, and had a good balance between coastlines to city streets. There were a good balance of guided activities and free time, which also allowed us to make personal memories. The accommodations were also comfortable. Our leader, Chloe, was incredibly kind and skilled, and she went above and beyond to help everyone! She was incredibly organized, always had a plan for the day and made sure everybody knew what we were doing for the following days. She was not only a leader but also a friend! Having Chloe as my leader really made a huge difference and truly enhanced my experience! Forever grateful for her helpfulness in my travel<3 If you’re looking for a Australian group tour with a fantastic guide, this trip delivers. I’d recommend this trip to anyone seeking a memorable way to experience Australia and make new friends!

I have booked 3 tours and I have just finished my first in Vietnam. You couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable and helpful tour guide. All my questions were answered swiftly before hand. And my Vietnam tour was exactly as advertised

Stacia was an amazing group leader! Always went above and beyond for our Bali tour, giving us extra recommendations and helping us book additional activities in our free time to maximise the trip. Felt very safe travelling through Bali with Stacia ❤️

Sri Lanka was a total blast, thanks to Backpacking Tours and our fab guides, Dam and Sam! Superb attention to detail and heaps of local knowledge. Safe, fun, and totally engaging. You'd be daft not to book with them!
