Happy backpackers enjoy a ride on a colorful tiger-painted bus at Erawan National Park in Thailand.Thailand

It was okay.

Nahhh just kidding, it was the absolute best time! Our guides were the ultimate duo and handled such a large group so well. Some of the activities were completely breathtaking and something you need to experience! With such a big group, we were worried about people grating on each other but it just wasn’t an issue at all. By the end of the tour, leaving everyone was harder than expected and 5 of us ended up travelling together to Vietnam! What an amazing company, thankyou all so much. Also a huge shout out to K who was training and did such a great job. Your English is awesome man, don’t stress it! Overall, amazing company, amazing guides and amazing experience. Dont think, just book it!

Trip of a lifetime. I have never been properly travelling before so when I came across back packing tours I jumped at the opportunity.

I booked the Vietnam tour. The trip has been unbelievable, from the accommodation to the activities but more importantly the people I have meet along the way. It’s the best way to meet new friends and make life long memories.

The tour guide for this trip was Huy and he made the trip even better. he is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and made the tour run extremely smoothly.

If your deciding to book with back packing tours I would strongly recommend best decision I have ever made.

I've had the trip of a lifetime the past three weeks in Thailand! The tour was very well organized, with great accommodation and tastayy food😉. Along with an itinerary that exceeded my expectations, the trip wouldn't have been what it was without our tour guides Heart and S. Their energy and humor brought the group together- there was never a dull moment! I really appreciated all the incredible photos they took and how quickly they were shared with the group as well. Every day was a blast and I've made lifelong friends from all over the world. Many of us are already planning another trip with backpackingtours. I can't reccomend this company enough! Just go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks BTT❤

I did the Costa Rica tour. Mari was our tour guide and went above and beyond. Her knowledge was incredible and the extra effort and care she put in daily was truly amazing and appreciated. She knew everything about the destinations, cuisine and culture. Truly was the best guide and especially being Ceoliac I never once felt uneasy of eating something as Mari was always there to make sure things were gluten free options and made sure I never felt left out and there was always options. Literally cannot say enough amazing things regarding our guide as Mari really did become like a friend on this trip. If anyone gets Mari as a tour guide they are truly lucky as I believe I had such a good time due to her energy and personality that was added.

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.

The backpacking trip to Bali exceeded our expectations. This was mine and Liam’s first time travelling but the tour guides helped us settle in. All the activities were organised perfectly, the transport to and from each destination was always on time and helped massively with all of the luggage we had. We visited 3 islands on the tour with all boat trips to and from each island included and no problems. We both had an amazing time and met some fantastic people.

The tour guides are extremely helpful and friendly and they are the reason our experience was special. Supry, Ima and Putu made us feel welcome in Bali right from the very start and our only regret is that we cannot stay for longer!

I would strongly recommend anyone to travel with backpacking tours to Bali and other destinations available with the company.

Nina and Liam.
