A group of happy backpackers cheers with beers during a lively night out in Hanoi.Vietnam

Honestly cannot recommend the Vietnam Tour more. We had the most wonderful stress free 23 days with the most wonderful guide, Huy! We got to experience the raw beauty and history of Vietnam in a way that would have not been possible without Huy and Backpacking Tours. I couldn’t be more grateful for his extra effort and kind hearted fun nature which made this tour and it’s activities beyond what I could have imagined.
Vietnam offers everything for anyone wanting to experience the most possible out of a month with mountains, rivers, beaches, sand dunes and travelling via boats, buses, coaches, bikes, mopeds and ATVs!
Excellent value for money, excellent company and an unforgettable experience!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

Just completed a tour in beautiful Sri Lanka. The tour was a lovely mix of beaches, safari, temples and exploring! The tour leaders Aerosh and Shela really enhanced the tour with their local knowledge, warmth and desire to make the tour a truly memorable experience. Couldn't ask for better guides!

I loved every second of the experience with Backpacking Through Thailand, it was amazing from start to finish. I couldn't recommend it more to anyone, if anyone who wants to book has doubts just don't and get it booked. The tour guides S, Heart and Tony made the experience even more special I miss them so much and have only been home 2 weeks. I stayed places and done things I would never have been able to do if I went to Thailand on my own travelling. There was 35 people on my tour and it couldn't have been a better group to be with, met so many amazing people that I definitely will see again. I am also looking at booking another tour, Backpacking Through Vietnam because of how amazing this tour was but my favourite part definitely had to be the elephant sanctuary and the open zoo.

If anyone has any questions about the tour I would be happy to help because I will never be able to tell anyone how amazing the tour was �

Sri Lanka was a total blast, thanks to Backpacking Tours and our fab guides, Dam and Sam! Superb attention to detail and heaps of local knowledge. Safe, fun, and totally engaging. You'd be daft not to book with them!
