Just completed the 17 day adventure tour around NZ. It was amazing, I had the best time and met some lovely people along the way and made some lifelong friends. Selina, our travel leader, was amazing. She was so bubbly and energetic and really bought immense joy to the group. She worked really hard to ensure everything was planned and sorted for us to enjoy our days smoothly and thought of such fun ideas for the evenings. I feel like I’ve found a true friend in her, and was really good at including everyone in, ensuring nobody was left out. This whole adventure has been nothing but incredible and I will really miss it a lot, and all the people. Thank you.

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 have just finished the best 3 weeks ever with BTT, from the start to the end I loved every minute of it with everything organized for you, we could just sit back and enjoy amazing Thailand! The 9 of us on the tour got on straight away and were like a big travelling family! We got the opportunity to do and see things you wouldn't if you backpacked alone and I don't think we all stopped smiling and laughing for 3 weeks! A BIG thank you to S, Mai, Ben and 'G' for being such incredible tour guides so full of knowledge, enthusiastic and up for a laugh, they made the experience for us!

If you are thinking of visiting Thailand you will 100% not reget booking this tour, it is such good value for money and you will love every second of it!

Stacia has been the BEST group leader we could have ever wished for!! She has made it so much fun and she has been very helpful with all of the information about our daily plans and also helped us with anything we needed at any point during our tour and went over and beyond to help even after the tour ended to organise my onward travel. The organisation from start to finish has been perfect and all of the different places we stayed have been beautiful. My top 3 activites were Surfing, The Family Visit and Snorkelling but every single day and every activity we have done has been so much fun it is difficult to pick the best!! It has been a trip of a lifetime!! 💖
