Where to start. From start to finish the tour was amazing. Ba Huy was an amazing tour guide, very helpful when needed. Always there when u contacted him on the phone. he loves Vietnam and gave us loads of Information/History about Vietnam. The tour was a great experience and would recommend anyone wanting to go to Vietnam to go with backpacking tours.

Volunteering in Madagascar was the best experience I ever had. It had a strong impact on me and really changed me, I would strongly recommend everyone to go there.

I did the 2 weeks in Northern Vietnam. Our guide Sandy was amazing. This tour was very organized, and with flexibility to accommodate what the group wanted. (For example we wanted to try some Anthony Bourdoin food spots and she made that happen). The accommodation was all very clean and everyone on our trip was very friendly. Our guide helped us translate when needed too.

I did the 13 pure Costa Rica trip, it was my first solo trip, was definitely nervous and but all elements of the trip by far exceeded my expectations! My group leader was Mariangel, an incredible woman who clearly adores her job and it shows. She simultaneously looked over us all like a mother hen ensuring everything went smoothly, any minor issues were dealt with immediately but also being an amazing friend, having fun with us all. Her good vibes and energy are unmatchable to anyone I’ve ever met! She showed us her beautiful country with such passion, we saw some truly incredible sights, a beautiful mix of wildlife, fun, beaches, many activities ie ziplining, white water rafting, horse riding, surfing, night jungle treks, spotting whales, hiking, swimming etc. The trip was incredibly well organised, we all knew what we were doing/ when we needed to meet and everything was perfectly smooth throughout the whole trip, I’ve had the experience of a lifetime and have made friends for life, as well as fallen head over heels for Costa Rica and the pura Vida lifestyle. The booking process was incredibly smooth, everything was taken care of by the team. Would 1 million percent recommend doing this tour to anyone who’s considering it.
