Enjoyed every second of my trip! Would highly recommend. Had the best time with my Tour guide Tess! she was so lovely and also helpful. If we wanted to go somewhere she’d recommend us places to go/see

Whether young or older this is a fabulous programme. If you want to mix with a lovely community, work alongside amazing people and experience the wonder of helping beautiful creatures then this is for you. Tough, rewarding and a forever memory. Just be prepared to get stuck in, work as a team and soak up every moment. I had the pleasure of working alongside fellow volunteers who I remain in contact with. We all share the desire to return to the island to meet again. Be prepared to meet people who will make you a better person :)

I’ve just done this tour and it’s a fab way to see all parts of Thailand, from cultural temples to the party island of Phi Phi - it was all amazing!! So easy as all transport & accommodation is included along with some meals. The tour guides are fun and are always there to help, good way of making new friends too! You won’t regret it if you book, thank you Backpacking, especially S & K! 😄

I did the 28 days oz from Sydney to cairns. I would really recommend it, Gigi was the best group leader. The things we did like kgari and white Sundays was so cool.

First group tour meeting with Backpacking Tour guides.Thailand

A massive shoutout to BTT for such a spectacular tour! Tony and Heart, our guides, were amazing - knowledgeable, friendly, and really funny. They really made the trip special and took care of everything, allowing us to soak in all the sights and sounds of Thailand worry-free. I’ve come back with not only amazing memories but also new friends. If you’re thinking about a tour, don’t hesitate with BTT!

Two backpackers stroll through a beautiful, tree-lined garden with traditional architecture in Hanoi.Vietnam

Had an incredible time on the Vietnam tour thanks to Backpacking Tours. Everything was arranged perfectly, making it easy to enjoy the stunning sights and sounds of Vietnam without any stress. Huy was a fantastic guide who took great care of us and showed us the best of what Vietnam has to offer. Highly recommend if you're looking for a high-quality touring experience with personal touches!
