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 �

Really enjoyed the 13 day tour of Costa Rica. Our tour leader Mariangel was excellent in every way, making the tour really enjoyable, organised and super chilled out. We were lucky enough to see sloths, toucans and all 4 monkeys in the rainforest areas. The beach towns and white water rafting were also great experiences. Would highly recommend

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.

Recently wrapped up the Vietnam tour with Backpacking Tours, and I have to say, it surpassed my expectations! The organisation was top-notch, and our guide, Huy, was outstanding. His passion for his country and his job made our experiences all the more rich and enjoyable. Every location was packed with charm and history, and the accommodations were splendid. Definitely a high-quality, high-fun trip!

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!
