The Vietnam Tour with Backpacking Tours was absolutely phenomenal, thanks to our wonderful guide, Huy. Over 23 days, we experienced the raw beauty and complex history of Vietnam. Huy's efforts and his fun, kind-hearted nature enriched our travels and activities, making every moment memorable. With diverse landscapes and modes of travel, this tour offers excellent value and a comprehensive Vietnamese experience.

I've just completed the 17 day Japan trip and I wanted to say a big thank you to Charlie for such an amazing trip, I had so much fun and I'm sure everyone else did too. It wouldn't have run so smoothly without your expert guidance and support throughout the trip. Thank you for being such an amazing leader, and keep up the great work!

Definitely a once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend to anyone! I had some of the best 3 weeks of my life, making unforgettable memories and lifelong friendships while seeing the best parts of Thailand. All the credit goes to Heart and S - two of the most funniest, sweetest and amazing guys I've met who always made sure everyone was having a good time, it wouldn't have been the same without them. Wish it didn't have to end, miss everyone already!

My experience in Zanzibar was quite unique. I discovered a paradise-like island with white sand beatches and blue water. But what I remember the most was the people of Zanzibar: the nicest persons I have never met. They are so friendly and adorable, always smiling, singing a nice song with "Hakuna Matata" or dancing, in brief enjoying life. You will be part of the local life very easily with them.

I definitly recommend this experience !

Beste Möglichkeit Sri Lanka zu erkunden – tolles Land mit wundervollen Menschen. Unsere Reiseleiter Dam und Sam haben die Reise zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis gemacht. Sie haben für jeden Einzelnen ihr Bestes gegeben und uns eine tolle Zeit ermöglicht. Wir würden rundum umsorgt und mussten uns um nichts sorgen. Super Mix an Aktivitäten. Absolut empfehlenswerte Tour!
