Can I give this tour a 100/10?! My first time travelling solo and not gonna lie I was scared! But from the first night with everyone I knew I was going to have the time of my life.. I did things with this tour that I would never have imagined to have done and wouldn't have been able to do if I didn't go with this tour. There wasn't one day that I didn't enjoy myself and it was all thanks to the most amazing people, our tour guides Heart & Tony!! They are the most genuine and caring people constantly making sure we were all ok and even on our free days planning trips.. BTT you should be proud of your workers it would be nothing without them! I have made friends for life and love my BTT fam so much �� If your thinking about booking this don't think anymore just go and do it, you really won't regret it �

Erin and Jess were so so fantastic and welcoming on the 28 day East Coast tour! Highlights were K’gari and Byron Bay. Would 100% recommend. Only thing to be aware of is that not all meals are included so just budget accordingly

Volunteering for 2 weeks in Palawan was definitely a decision well made. The people I met and the knowledge I acquired from the environmental program will come along with me. I will also cherish the quiet moments, conversations and karaoke nights for as long as I live. This is a great place to humble yourself and to serve others in whatever way you can. Maraming salamat po!

Went on 17 day tour of Japan with the Adam Pyzer as the guide. Only positive things to say about the experience and Adam. Consistent and clear communication throughout with, interesting knowledge scattered in between. Adam was keeping everyone in the group involved during the tour. And also assisted everyone with their plans post tour. Had a great time.

A very enjoyable tour covering a great distance around north India. It was a great insight into multiple locations across north India, getting to explore local culture and cuisine.

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.
