A smiling man hikes up ancient stone steps in Vietnam's scenic karst mountains.Vietnam

Loved my time with BTV! Cant recommend Vietnam and the tour enough, such a beautiful country filled with culture, scenery and some of the happiest and most inspirational people I've ever met. BTV was a great way to experience it all that I'd never have got doing it alone.



Our guides (and new friends) Roy and Juan were phenomenal, couldn't of dreamt of getting anyone better. They took care of everything we needed and were full of knowledge about history, culture, bars/restaurants and anything else you could possibly wish to know about Vietnam. Not only that but many laughs, drinks and fun times were shared. I can't thank them enough for the experiences in Vietnam, I'll definitely be back!

The 17 day tour of Japan was a trip of a lifetime with many thanks to our group leader Lachie! He effortlessly brought us around Japan allowing us to switch off our brains and fully enjoy the experience. He used his history knowledge to give us greater insight into the places we visited (Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka, etc). And lastly, he ensured that everyone felt included and was tapped into how the group felt as a whole which is a vital skill for this profession. I couldn't recommend this trip more ☺️

I just got back from Bali, after being on the January tour. I cannot recommend enough! There’s a perfect balance of being busy with lots of activities, and time to yourself to relax. My highlights of the tour were swimming with sea turtles, climbing a volcano to watch the sunrise & whitewater rafting (this isn’t actually on the tour yet, but think it will be added very soon!) Massive thank you to the tour guides / friends Supry & S. They are always on hand to help, and definitely knew how to party! It certainly made the trip having them with us every step of the way! Thanks as well to Daniel who organised everything before the trip. I’d definitely recommend BTB. Don’t think about booking it, just do it!! ?

Can't even begin to explain how amazing my experience with BTT was! The 3 week trip was not only great value in terms of the places you stay, and travelling, but the amount of things you fit in to the 21 days is spectacular. Some of the places we visited I would never of even heard of if it wasn't for the company, and some of the friends you make along the way you know will be friends for life! I don't even know where to begin with our tour guide, Heart! He was just amazing, a lovely person who really loves his job and it totally shows the whole trip! He always made sure everyone was having the best time and you could always rely on him no matter what, he definitely made the trip for our group� I would 100% recommend BTT to any friends who are considering going to Thailand and I would book with them again without hesitation!

Did not expect to love Cambodia as much as I do and it was completely down to having such a great group and an incredible group leader. Logan S and Ryan were the perfect balance of guiding, educational, fun and full of energy. Logan’s love for Cambodia and his job made the trip amazing - I wish it was 10 days longer! The trip brings together the history of Cambodia and really showcases what the country has come from and here it’s heading - I can’t wait to come back.

This was the most amazing experience of my life, only heightened by the enthusiasm of the two greatest tour guides S and K. Endless amounts of fun, never ending partying, spotless accommodation, I seen parts of Thailand that you would never even think of traveling If you didn’t go with BTT, overall the value for money is outstanding. I travelled with one person and left with 26 new family members, who made memories that’ll last forever. If your on two minds about booking with BTT don’t think just do it. You won’t regret it. ��
