The India tour with Backpacking Tours was absolutely brilliant.From the chaos of Delhi to the stunning palaces in Jaipur and the sunrise at the Taj Mahal, every moment was something new. The trip was so well organised, making it easy to just enjoy the experience without worries. Will book another trip with BT!

I had the most amazing time of my life travelling around Thailand with BTT November 2016. The tour guides Heart and S are such lovely guys and really are a credit to the company. They go out of there way to make sure everyone is looked after. They are always up for a laugh and get stuck in with everything. They are so uplifting to be around and great at their jobs.

We visited some amazing places, places that you probably wouldn't find if you went by yourself. You really get the most out of the trip as there's always something going on. Whether it's staying on floating bungalows by the river, having a night out on Bangkoks famous Khaosan road, feeding giraffes, relaxing on a stunning beach, partying on phi phi island or swimming in waterfalls. There's always something fun going on.

I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a taster of what traveling is like or to someone who just wants to meet new people and have a fun holiday in the sun. There's something for everyone.
I met so many great friends for life and had the one of the best experiences of my life that I will always remember.

Definitely looking into booking the Vietnam trip next!!!! ��

Whether young or older this is a fabulous programme. If you want to mix with a lovely community, work alongside amazing people and experience the wonder of helping beautiful creatures then this is for you. Tough, rewarding and a forever memory. Just be prepared to get stuck in, work as a team and soak up every moment. I had the pleasure of working alongside fellow volunteers who I remain in contact with. We all share the desire to return to the island to meet again. Be prepared to meet people who will make you a better person :)

Just got back from a fabulous trip to Bali with Backpacking Tours, and wow, it exceeded all my expectations! The group was super, all like-minded individuals who are now great friends! The tour guides were great, always providing us with insider tips and making sure we experienced the authentic Bali culture. The itinerary was a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a hassle-free and unforgettable travel experience!

Had an amazing time exploring costa rica with the best guide Mariangel. She brought everyone together with good vibes and lots of laughs. Wouldn't have been the same without her. She always went above and beyond and got us to the best local places. Knowledgeable on all animals and cultures in costa rica with action packed activities and also the option to relax when needed
