The holiday of a life time. Couldn’t have asked for better people to share with us the beauty of Vietnam, to teach us about Vietnam’s history, Vietnamese cooking, farming, our tour guides Roy and Juan that warmly welcomed us to their country and that in a short time became our best friends. I had the most remarkable holiday with these guys and with everyone in the group (smashing bunch of people), and not only everything was perfect and so well organized, but I felt in every instance that our guides truly cared about us, and did the best to make this trip memorable. 10 out of 10 BTV, the trip was so well organized , so many activities and tours, plenty of free time to relax , great accommodation and I could go on and on about this trip as it was one to remember. I miss you Roy and Juan and because of you Vietnam will always be so close to my heart ! Xxx

If you're pondering whether to book this trip with Backpacking Tours, just go for it! Heart and S made every day unforgettable. The activities were perfectly chosen, we got to see the real Thailand, beyond the usual tourist spots. Great value for money and the memories I made are priceless. This wasn’t just a holiday, it was the adventure of a lifetime!

Can't even begin to explain how amazing my experience with BTT was! The 3 week trip was not only great value in terms of the places you stay, and travelling, but the amount of things you fit in to the 21 days is spectacular. Some of the places we visited I would never of even heard of if it wasn't for the company, and some of the friends you make along the way you know will be friends for life! I don't even know where to begin with our tour guide, Heart! He was just amazing, a lovely person who really loves his job and it totally shows the whole trip! He always made sure everyone was having the best time and you could always rely on him no matter what, he definitely made the trip for our group� I would 100% recommend BTT to any friends who are considering going to Thailand and I would book with them again without hesitation!

Just book it! I did the Thailand tour last year so had high expectations for Vietnam and it was incredible. Our tour guides Roy and Juan were top-class, 'knowledgeable, fun and caring'. We're now family for life.The transport, accommodation, food and activities were all of high standard and I loved the opportunities of free time in this action-packed tour of Vietnam. Looking forward to the Bali tour next. Thanks guys for a trip of a lifetime. Denis O'Malley, Ireland.

Overall, I felt very well prepared before starting my trip. I felt very well supported throughout the duration of my volunteer experience by the local team. What a great group of hard working individuals! I continue to reflect on the level of eagerness and interest demonstrated by the students, children, teens and adults. Children attended the classes despite being on school break! My favourite moment was hearing students call out my name while walking about in the village following my volunteer teaching experience. I couldn't believe they remembered my name. This trip generated a renewed sense of gratitude for all things available to me at home. If you are thinking about volunteering, go for it! You won't regret it and will only grow from the experience.

My highlight from the volunteer experience was swimming at the beach with all the kids. The biggest impact my volunteering trip had on me was seeing how grateful and happy all the kids and people in Fiji are all the time even though they don’t have much makes me realise how much we take for granted. My advice is just do it it’s a lifetime experience you’ll never forgot and you’ll want to do it again .
