This summer's Vietnam adventure with Backpacking Tours was truly amazing. Huy, our tour guide, was not only super knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and such great fun! The people I met during the tour were fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed every excursion, experience, and meal in Vietnam. It's a bummer that the tour had to end – I've gathered so many wonderful memories with Backpacking Tours, memories that I'm going to hold dear forever. The mix of activities, from the bustling city life to serene landscapes, was perfect. Each day was a new adventure, and Huy's insights into Vietnamese culture and history made it all the more enriching. The food was a highlight, offering a taste of the diverse flavours of Vietnam. Saying goodbye to the group was tough; it felt like leaving a little family behind. I can't recommend this tour enough – it's an experience that's not just a trip but a journey into the heart of Vietnam.

Booking this tour was truly one of the best choices I've ever made! The tour guide, S, was totally amazing, surpassing all my expectations with his knowledge and enthusiasm. Meeting new people on the tour, alongside the incredible places and activities we got to experience, made it an absolutely unforgettable trip. It was genuinely a lifetime experience, packed with so many memorable moments. I'd absolutely, 100% recommend this to anyone out there – you're definitely not going to regret it. From the start to the end, every detail of the tour was meticulously planned, yet it felt spontaneous and full of surprises. Whether it was the bustling city streets or the serene natural landscapes, each day brought something new and exciting. The blend of cultural insights and adventurous activities was just perfect. It's not just a tour, it's a complete experience that stays with you long after it's over.

I went on the March 2020 Thailand tour with Backpacking Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience. Despite being a small group of just six people, our tour guide, S, made it incredibly special. His sense of humour and in-depth knowledge about Thailand's culture and landmarks added a unique touch to our journey. We visited some truly breathtaking places, but the highlight for me was the elephant sanctuary. It was an eye-opening experience to see these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Every aspect of the tour was well-organised and thoughtfully planned, making it a seamless adventure. The rich culture of Thailand was evident in every place we visited, and I found myself completely immersed in the experience. I can wholeheartedly say that this tour is something I'd highly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic and enjoyable exploration of Thailand.

I've had the trip of a lifetime in the past three weeks in Thailand! The tour was very well organized, with great accommodation and tasty food. Along with an itinerary that exceeded my expectations, the trip wouldn't have been what it was without our tour guides Heart and S. Their energy and humor brought the group together - there was never a dull moment! I really appreciated all the incredible photos they took and how quickly they were shared with the group as well. Every day was a blast, and I've made lifelong friends from all over the world. Many of us are already planning another trip with Backpacking Tours. I can't recommend this company enough! Just go for it; you won't be disappointed.

Thanks BTT,

The best decision I have ever made was booking this trip! I had never traveled solo before, but straight away felt like I was traveling with 16 friends. Supry and Puta are the nicest people you could meet. They go out of their way to help you with anything you need and are much more than tour guides! This company would be nothing without them. The tour was the perfect balance of exploring, relaxing, and partying. I felt like I did so much more than if I were to travel on my own, and no doubt decide to laze around some days! Everything is organized for you from when you arrive, all you have to do is wake up each morning ready to go! If like me before I booked, you are reading these reviews still unsure. Just book it!! You will definitely not regret it.

Absolutely must recommend this tour! Our guide, S, was incredibly fun and ensured we were always comfortable, much like our drivers, Kit & Ben. Each day was filled with new activities and sights, providing great value for money. We made unforgettable memories with an amazing group. The hiking, cultural visits, and local cuisine were highlights. The diverse group of fellow travelers added to the experience, creating a friendly and joyful atmosphere. The tour was well-organized, balancing scheduled activities and free time perfectly. Accommodations were comfortable and cozy. This tour is a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and fun.

The tour of Thailand is honestly one of the best tours you can go on! S, the tour guide, went out of his way to make sure we all had the best time and even adapted the tour as we went along to make sure everyone saw and did everything they wanted to do. If you needed the toilet or food, he would get you there in 5 minutes!

As a female solo backpacker, I couldn't have felt more safe. I felt immediately comfortable in a completely new country. Special shout-out to Ben and Krit, the drivers, who were absolutely amazing! If you are looking to go to Thailand, definitely choose this company!

What an experience it has been! So delighted I signed up for the tour; such a great way to make new friends and explore Vietnam in depth. The places we've visited have been amazing, and our tour guide, Jackie, has made sure we experienced the very best. The hotels and transport were all spot on, and we never had to wait for a bus once!

I would highly recommend joining the Vietnam tour; it's been one of, if not the best experiences of my life, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Thank you again, Jackie!

My partner and I have been in Thailand for over 2 weeks now, and the tour so far has been absolutely fantastic. With a week to go, we have already covered so much of what the country has to offer, and yet there is still more to do! We have faced challenges and done things we never thought we could, and now have some unforgettable memories. Our tour guide, S, and driver, Kit, made the entire experience so special and immersed us in Thai culture, answered questions about the country, and introduced us to friends, which made the trip even more memorable. I can truly recommend the tour to anybody wanting to travel the world, as this is a safe and effective way to do just that. The best trip I have ever been on, hands down, and some lifelong friends made too. 10/10.
