I just did the 3 week Thailand tour and had the time of my life. I made friends for life and memories I will never forget. Big thank you to our tour guides S & K for making it such a fun trip! Will definitely return to Thailand. Thank you!!!

I have just arrived home after an incredible three weeks in Thailand. I was quite nervous going as a first time solo backpacker but as soon as I landed I knew I was in safe hands. Our tour guide S was more than a guide and he became our friend. He went above and beyond for everyone and kept us entertained at every moment of everyday. The same goes for our drivers Krit and Ben who were there for us anytime we needed them and they were so helpful and made us feel safe at all times🥰
I was so lucky to have met such a great group and made wonderful friends. We have made so many memories that will last a lifetime and we cannot thank these lads enough. We got a great experience and culture of Thailand, had great laughs , nights out and of course many photoshoots at all the amazing places we saw😍
I can’t recommend this tour enough. As S would say ‘if you never try you never know know’☺️😂🇹🇭

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.

This tour was a MAJOR bucket list check-off! Bali with Backpacking Tours was an absolute dream. The landscapes were postcard-perfect, our lodgings were cozy and inviting, and our guide, knew exactly where to take us for the best views and experiences. The group dynamics were fantastic; it was like travelling with a family you got to choose. Sad it's over, but I’m looking at their other tours for my next adventure!

Faye Lewis ❤️ The best travel tour guide. I recently joined the 17 day New Zealand and whilst apprehensive about joining a tour, it turned out to be the trip of a lifetime. Faye was extremely organised and the whole experience was extremely smooth. You can tell she is very passionate about her job and made the whole experience for me. She wasn’t only just your guide but your friend as well and I will miss her a lot. Faye was always approachable and ready for any tips of the local area on restaurants, activities and any hidden spots worth visiting. I can’t pick a favourite moment as the whole trip was amazing and I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone wanting to join. Thank you again Faye 🫶🏻
