What an experience! I can’t put those 3 weeks into words, from the very start I felt looked after by Daniel and this continued throughout the tour. S, Tony and Heart all made the trip go as smoothly as possible, on occasion going above and beyond what I imagine their job roles are! I was hesitant at first travelling outside of Europe alone but not once did I regret it once I’d taken off in England! From day 1 it felt like I’d just gone away with 34 friends from home and by day 4 it felt like we’d been in Thailand months together! You see so much, definitely more than you would do on a trip alone and it took away all of the worry of booking transport and accommodation as literally everything is done for you! They recommend places to go for food and have tried and tested the excursions to ensure that they’re the best on offer.. I can’t say enough how amazing this trip was! Any questions feel free to ask!!

Best trip ever! Thanks to BTT and our wonderful guides, Heart and K, for an adventure of a lifetime. Every day was filled with new experiences, from kayaking in crystal clear waters to exploring historic temples. The trip was well organized and packed with activities but still left room for some relaxation. Heart and K were the perfect hosts, always there to guide and entertain us. Thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone looking for fun and adventure in Thailand.

Just finished the 17 day Japan trip with our tour guide Liam. He made the trip sooo special and we had a lot of laughs - I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I will for sure be booking another tour after this!

The 17 day tour of Japan was a trip of a lifetime with many thanks to our group leader Lachie! He effortlessly brought us around Japan allowing us to switch off our brains and fully enjoy the experience. He used his history knowledge to give us greater insight into the places we visited (Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka, etc). And lastly, he ensured that everyone felt included and was tapped into how the group felt as a whole which is a vital skill for this profession. I couldn't recommend this trip more ☺️

I had an amazing 10-day group tour around Australia! The itinerary was well organised, the activities were fun and suitable for everyone, and there was a great mix of sightseeing and free time. A huge shout-out to our tour leader, Tom, who made the experience even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, organised, and always kept the group entertained. I met some fantastic people and made unforgettable memories. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Australia!

I had the most incredible time on the Costa Rica trip, we were really able to experience so much of the country! Mari, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and full of energy taking us from the city, to the jungle and then on to the beautiful beaches. It is a truly unforgettable trip!!
