A large group of smiling backpackers enjoys a lively evening in a rustic open-air restaurant in Singburi.Thailand

Just back from the most incredible three weeks with the most friendly and hardworking tour guides. 100% exceeded all expectations! Have done so much more than I could have imagined in 3 weeks, all made much easier and more enjoyable by guides Heart, S and K. See you for another tour very soon!

This trip was a dream come true! Heart and Tony, our guides from Backpacking Tours, were perfect. They were there to help with anything we needed, always ensuring we had the best time. Exploring Thailand with them was like discovering a hidden paradise. They knew all the great spots that were off the beaten path. Absolutely the best way to travel!

I recommend this magical experience. I made new friends from all over the world. I felt very satisfied with the work done, I experienced a different month that made me reflect on many things about the life. The friendships were fantastic You have to be able to adapt to a different lifestyle, but there are many people ready to support you. There will be moments of fatigue and stress, but this experience will change your life. If you are ready, I highly recommend this experience.I felt very satisfied with the work done, I experienced a different month that made me reflect on many things. The friendships were fantastic.

Putri is the best tour guide, that I've ever had. She likes to chat with us, help us out, speaks with the locals, has an open heart and welcome us, like you can see this in Balinese culture. I learned so much about the people and the culture here, although I spend some time on Bali before the trip. Putri is highly recommended.

Seven women, two local Mentawai and five tourists, smiling in traditional leaf skirts in a jungle stream.Indonesia

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!
