Once again, thank you to Dam & Sam for making my first solo travel experience so amazing and giving me fabulous memories to last a lifetime.
The organisation, teamwork and knowledge delivered shows the passion these two have for their jobs, and it’s very refreshing.
There wasn’t one moment whereby I didn’t feel safe. In fact, I felt I was treated like a Royal! These two definitely go out their way to make sure you want for nothing.
The transport was plush, very clean and well driven by Sam. Fresh bottled water available everyday too, which is very much appreciated.
The hotels were all well selected, with a good variety serving good food. They were all clean, providing towels and many with tea and coffee making facilities. Perfect for what we needed.
The photo gift these two organised for each of us showing our highlights was a really lovely touch, something to take home and treasure.
If I had to pick a favourite part of the trip. The Royal palace of Kandy, Gems factory & Royal Botanical Garden was pretty high up there for me.
Dam’s knowledge is incredible and he delivers it very well, and had no hesitation in answering any questions we had about Sri Lanka.
I will absolutely be making sure everyone from my home town knows about Backpacking Tours and this Sri Lanka trip as I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough.
Maybe see you both sometime in the future.
Many thanks again
Sarah.

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.

My experience on the 28 east coast OZ tour has been amazing, this tour has shown the best snippets of the east coast which has been great to experience in a group! Special mention to Erin and Jess who have been such supportive group leaders. They have put so much effort into this tour! Couldn’t be happier xx

Vietnam is a stunning country, and exploring it with Huy from Backpacking Tours was an absolute pleasure. He made sure we experienced the authenticity of each location, from historical landmarks to local eateries. His passion for Vietnam and its culture was contagious and added so much value to our journey.

Backpacking Tours nailed it with our Sri Lanka visit! Dam and Sam were fantastic, making sure every aspect of the tour was lush. Great vibes and incredible sights, all seamless and stress-free. They’re the best in the biz!
