Travelers exploring local culture at Damnoen Saduak market.Thailand

I went on the March 2020 Thailand tour and I can't recommend it enough. We were a small group of only 6, but our tour guide S was amazing. He's so funny! We saw some incredible places whilst in Thailand, the elephant sanctuary was my favourite but I enjoyed all of it. The culture is so interesting and I loved every second of it!❤❤

Really enjoyed the 13 day tour of Costa Rica. Our tour leader Mariangel was excellent in every way, making the tour really enjoyable, organised and super chilled out. We were lucky enough to see sloths, toucans and all 4 monkeys in the rainforest areas. The beach towns and white water rafting were also great experiences. Would highly recommend

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.

Having just finished up on the Backpacking Through Vietnam tour I can honestly say it was the best trip I have ever been on!! It is wonderfully planned including an insane amount of great activities, both local treats and tourist hotspots, which are all made more enjoyable with the expert help of our guide Huy!! Huy made this trip for me with his insane amount of knowledge, love for his country, and his efforts to make everything a smooth as possible for myself and everyone in the group 😆 I was incredibly lucky to also have an absolutely amazing group of friends to travel this beautiful country with 💕 thank you so much Huy and Backpacking Tours for the most incredible trip!! I HIGHLY recommend BTV 🎉
