My only regret is not doing this sooner! Just back from three weeks in Bali and had the most incredible time. The tour guides are great and go out their way at all times to ensure you’re having the best possible time. We covered everything on the itinerary and we’re even able to add in extra activities on our free days that the tour guides kindly took us to. At 31 I was anxious to be the oldest in the group, but we were all so likeminded that this was never an issue and I will absolutely be doing another tour in the future.

Honestly I can't put in to words how amazing the tour was. I've wanted to go to Thailand for years and the itinery put together by the company was perfect. Surpassed my expectations. S and K were amazing tour guides, kind, funny and caring. I felt very well looked after throughout the tour. 3rd August tour group became a little family. Thailand will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you BTT for making it an incredible experience. 100% recommend to anyone to book this tour 😊🤗

This tour is a must!!! I can't thank Heart,
Tony and S enough for making this experience such a memorable one. You guys always kept us smiling and entertained. From the moment I booked this tour the communication was great. Backpackingthroughthailand allows you to experience Thailand in the best way possible. Everything is well organised and all you have to do it turn up and make sure you have the most incredible time.
The itinerary allows you to see the history and the culture as well as have some free time to absorb the county. I had the most amazing 3 weeks and couldn't have asked for a better group of friends to have shared it with. Thank you BTT! Xx

So worth the cost, the organisation is all done for you but in a way that activities are optional and you have free time too so you don’t feel pressured into anything but everything that is planned is so fun! Finished Colombia with Carolina and got to know so much more about the country than if we’d done it solo!

This 10-day group tour in Australia exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I met my fellow travelers and our guide, the energy was warm, everything was exciting, and the pace was just right for soaking in all the incredible experiences! Our group explored iconic highlights and beaches, and had a good balance between coastlines to city streets. There were a good balance of guided activities and free time, which also allowed us to make personal memories. The accommodations were also comfortable. Our leader, Chloe, was incredibly kind and skilled, and she went above and beyond to help everyone! She was incredibly organized, always had a plan for the day and made sure everybody knew what we were doing for the following days. She was not only a leader but also a friend! Having Chloe as my leader really made a huge difference and truly enhanced my experience! Forever grateful for her helpfulness in my travel<3 If you’re looking for a Australian group tour with a fantastic guide, this trip delivers. I’d recommend this trip to anyone seeking a memorable way to experience Australia and make new friends!

I just finished the 12 day Sri Lanka experience. The trip was seamless from start to finish. Big shout out to our group leader, Aerosh Elike. He contacted us a few days before the trip to introduce himself and ask if we had any questions before arriving. He then made contact as I landed to make sure I knew where to go to get my transfer to the accommodation. The tour was busy, but also relaxed. I thought amount of meals included were good, it gave you opportunity to try new foods or seek comfort meals. There were the right amount of activities and our travel days were broken up with some of the activities. The local guides were knowledgeable and approachable and so friendly and kind. They gave a true insight into the culture and lifestyle of Sri Lankan people. Again huge shout out to Aerosh, throughout the trip he was approachable and his communication every evening about what we were doing the next day and what time we had to meet etc was clear. He checked in at every hotel to make sure we were happy and comfortable! Any issue you had he was your man and he would go to the end of the earth to make sure you were happy, safe, healthy and he did it with the biggest smile! If you book this tour and are lucky enough to get Aerosh, you’re in for a good time and you will feel safe and supported throughout! If your thinking of heading to Sri Lanka and want to get a taste and see what the country has to offer definitely look at booking this tour. Any advice, definitely book one night pre accommodation to get yourself settled and post accommodation if you want to spend some extra time relaxing down south at the beach! Tour leaders can help with booking any onward travel or transfers! They are so helpful and knowledgeable!
