Program Reviews

All I can say is wow, what an unforgettable 3 weeks spent in the most beautiful country. This will forever have a special place in my heart.

Although I traveled with 2 friends, it can be quite daunting as a young girl to travel Asia, but all I can say is I've never felt as comfortable and safe. S, our tour guide, treated us as one of his own and really cared for our safety and well-being throughout the entire 3 weeks. S really is a credit to your company, and I can honestly say this trip wouldn't have been the same without him. There really is no way to thank him enough for his witty personality, which always made us laugh, and for always being so kind-hearted.

As well as S, we had our two drivers, Benz and Kit, who without hesitation went above and beyond for us every single day. No matter what you asked of them, they always did all they could to help us, as well as their subtle gestures of always watching out to make sure we were safe. S, Benz, and Kit are three of the most selfless people I have ever come across in my life.

Throughout the 3 weeks of traveling to the most scenic places, we had such a laugh with all three of them, and we really were like one big family. I made friends for life, and I'm incredibly grateful for this experience. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and it's quite hard to put into words how amazing it really is!

I have just arrived home after an incredible three weeks in Thailand. I was quite nervous going as a first-time solo backpacker, but as soon as I landed, I knew I was in safe hands. Our tour guide, S, was more than a guide; he became our friend. He went above and beyond for everyone and kept us entertained at every moment of every day. The same goes for our drivers, Krit and Ben, who were there for us anytime we needed them, and they were so helpful and made us feel safe at all times. I was so lucky to have met such a great group and made wonderful friends. We have made so many memories that will last a lifetime, and we cannot thank these lads enough. We got a great experience and culture of Thailand, had great laughs, nights out, and of course, many photoshoots at all the amazing places we saw. I can't recommend this tour enough. As S would say, "if you never try, you never know know."

Just wrapped up our 18-day tour in Bali, and it was a fantastic experience, thanks to Supre, our tour guide! He's a whirlwind of energy and knowledge, always ready for a laugh. He guided us to numerous hidden spots that typical tourists would miss. The journey was a revelation, opening our eyes to the true beauty of Bali. Supre ensured our trip was filled with unique experiences and unforgettable moments. For anyone wanting to dive deep into Bali's wonders, this trip is a must. With Supre as your guide, it's an adventure you won't forget!

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!

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.

What an incredible 6 weeks! Being in Thailand for 3 weeks, I have seen and done things I never thought I would do. Memories for life. Our tour guide, S, and driver, Kit, have been amazing, making the trip even more special. Following the Thailand tour, we continued on to the Vietnam tour for a further 3 weeks. Again, an incredible experience! Huy (Jackie), our tour guide, has been so knowledgeable and an absolute star. I would 100% recommend Backpacking Tours Thailand and Vietnam, everything is organized for you from the minute you step off the plane. Activities, accommodation, and transport all sorted, no hassle. Phenomenal trip that I will never forget.

I loved every second of the experience with Backpacking Bali; it was amazing from start to finish. I couldn't recommend it more to anyone. If anyone who wants to book has doubts, just don't and get it booked. Supre and Ima made the experience even more special. I miss them so much, and I've only been home for 2 weeks. I stayed in places and did things I would never have been able to do if I went to Bali on my own traveling. There were 15 people on my tour, and it couldn't have been a better group to be with. I met so many amazing people that I definitely will see again. I am also looking at booking another tour, Backpacking Through Vietnam because of how amazing this tour was. If anyone has any questions about the tour, I would be happy to help because I will never be able to tell anyone how amazing the tour was!

I couldn't recommend the Thailand tour enough. Everything was fully organized, so we didn't have to stress about anything throughout the tour. Our tour guide, S, was even better than I could've imagined. He made sure everyone had the best time all the way through, and any issues at all, he would help resolve instantly. This tour is exactly as advertised, from cultural visits to beach days to experiencing Thai nightlife, you get everything you could ever need included. Myself and my group have made the best memories on this trip.

Just arrived home after three life-changing weeks in beautiful Thailand. This tour was incredible. The culture, the food, the activities, the natural beauty – all beyond my wildest expectations. The best part of the journey, by far, were the people I met along the way. I want to give a big shout-out to our drivers, Ben and Krit. These men went above and beyond for our group, getting us safely around the country while still having a laugh with everyone. You guys are the best. And our guide, S, he's the best guide I've ever met, hands down. He became a friend to us, and I hope he's reading this now so I can tell him once again that he needs to visit Ireland and let us show him around! Like we said at the end of the tour, this is not goodbye; this is see you next time. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves to travel.

Sending love from Ireland,
Adam.

Just back from a thrilling 3-week Thailand tour and I must say, it's an absolute must-do! Traveling solo, especially as a female, had its concerns, but the moment I met Krit, our driver, all my worries vanished. The attentiveness and care from our guide S, alongside drivers Krit and Ben, were outstanding. They were always ready to assist, no matter the request - they even fixed my broken shoes! And my birthday in Thailand? Unforgettable, thanks to their efforts. This trip wasn't just about exploring Thailand's stunning locations; it was also about the friendships formed, which I'm certain will last beyond the journey. For anyone hesitant about solo travel, Backpacking Tours, particularly the Thailand tour, is something I'd recommend 100%!
