The Croatia tour was SOOO much fun, such a wide variety of stops and activities so really made it very easy to cater to what specific interests people had, whether that be hiking, sightseeing or the nightlife. Becca was incredible, we couldn’t have asked for a better leader for our group and definitely left with friends for life <3

Absolutely chuffed with our Sri Lankan adventure courtesy of Backpacking Tours! Dam and Sam were brilliant – everything sorted from start to finish. A perfect mix of culture, thrills, and downtime. Highly recommended!

We spent 12 days with Stacia as our tour guide, and it was incredibly well-organized from the very beginning! Whether it was the airport pickup or even just a band-aid, Stacia always made time and had everything perfectly under control. There was so much to experience, and I surfed, snorkeled, and dived for the first time – things I probably would never have tried otherwise! I met wonderful people, and Stacia showed me Indonesia as a friendly and incredibly beautiful country! I will definitely be back. It was a plesure to meet Indonesia at the first time with this wonderful Tour.

Just returned from the most amazing two weeks in Costa Rica! The perfect balance of adventure, wildlife (so many sloths!!) and chill beach time, with an instant group of new friends for solo travellers like me. Our tour leader Mari was brilliant at creating a fun but safe environment, and we all had an amazing trip thanks to her.
For anyone travelling solo, don't be afraid to book the trip!

Selina was truly the heart of my trip to Thailand. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure every moment was special, smooth, and unforgettable. Her knowledge, kindness, and genuine passion for what she does made the entire experience feel so personal and meaningful. Thank you khaawp khun

Whether young or older this is a fabulous programme. If you want to mix with a lovely community, work alongside amazing people and experience the wonder of helping beautiful creatures then this is for you. Tough, rewarding and a forever memory. Just be prepared to get stuck in, work as a team and soak up every moment. I had the pleasure of working alongside fellow volunteers who I remain in contact with. We all share the desire to return to the island to meet again. Be prepared to meet people who will make you a better person :)

I finished the 17 day NZL tour about a week ago and oh my god it was one of the greatest things I’ve ever done! Stunning locations and loads of activities to do, there was never a dull moment. Our tour leader Faye was AMAZING, so kind, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. I would 100% recommend doing this tour, the friends and memories will stay for life!

Just finished our 18 day Bali tour, if you have Supre as your tour guide you are in for an amazing adventure! He’s so full of life and knowledge and always up for a laugh! He’ll take you to so many hidden gems you wouldn’t see as a normal tourist, it’s honestly a trip not to be missed if you really want to explore all of Bali!
