I don't usually write reviews but this tour needs a 10 out of 10.. from day one to day 21 it has been the most amazing, memorable adventure which was only made possible by our very knowledgeable tour guides HEART, TONY & S.. there is no words to describe these tour guides only as simply the best!!!..� we came as strangers and left as friends... I would definitely recommend this tour its a once in a life time opportunity, life is short & the world is wide...� #BTT2017�

I loved the family feel with all the local team coordinators as I felt safe, heard, and accommodated for. My favorite moment from the volunteer experience was interacting with the children and teachers.

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!

Just completed the 17 day adventure tour around NZ. It was amazing, I had the best time and met some lovely people along the way and made some lifelong friends. Selina, our travel leader, was amazing. She was so bubbly and energetic and really bought immense joy to the group. She worked really hard to ensure everything was planned and sorted for us to enjoy our days smoothly and thought of such fun ideas for the evenings. I feel like I’ve found a true friend in her, and was really good at including everyone in, ensuring nobody was left out. This whole adventure has been nothing but incredible and I will really miss it a lot, and all the people. Thank you.
