Unforgettable Experience!

Honestly, I can't recommend the Vietnam Tour enough. We had the most wonderful, stress-free 23 days with the most wonderful guide, Huy! We got to experience the raw beauty and history of Vietnam in a way that wouldn't have been possible without Huy and Backpacking Tours. I couldn't be more grateful for his extra effort and kind-hearted, fun nature, which made this tour and its activities beyond what I could have imagined. Vietnam offers everything for anyone wanting to experience the most possible out of a month, with mountains, rivers, beaches, sand dunes, and traveling via boats, buses, coaches, bikes, mopeds, and ATVs! Excellent value for money, excellent company, and an unforgettable experience!

Best Trip!

Just completed my Vietnam tour, and it's been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Huy, our tour guide, he was amazing and so thrilled to showcase his beautiful country. Huy, he was so kind and helpful in every way, and our experience wouldn't have been the same without him. We all became like a little family, and in the end, we've made friends for life. I'd highly recommend anyone to embark on the Backpacking tour of Vietnam, whether you're traveling alone or in a group, as it allows you to meet so many new people. I've witnessed the beauty of Vietnam and would love to return sometime in the future.

Backpacking Vietnam - Highly Recommended!

Beginning with where to start, the tour was absolutely top-notch from beginning to end. Ba Huy, the tour guide, was just brilliant – always there when you rang him up, and exceptionally supportive whenever required. He clearly loves Vietnam and provided us with loads of information and history about the country. The entire experience of the tour was nothing short of fantastic. I'd definitely suggest it to anyone looking to explore Vietnam. Opt for Backpacking Tours, and you won't be disappointed.

Amazing!!

An amazing time? Absolutely. Our tour guide, Huy, was incredible, going above and beyond for all of us. He ensured that we saw every single thing on our list, showcasing his remarkable knowledge of Vietnam. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone even thinking about it. The amount of fun we had, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The people we met were so lovely, and I'm deeply thankful to Huy for giving us a tour of his beautiful country. Already looking forward to my next visit back there. The sights, the sounds, the whole experience was just unforgettable. Huy's passion and dedication really made the trip special.
