Vietnam 23 day tour

Absolutely, Vietnam tour is something I can't praise enough. Incredible, really, the last 23 days just zipped past. We got to see the prime spots all over Vietnam, and throughout, Huy's expertise and willingness to help stood out. Opting for Backpacking Tours was a stellar choice as a solo traveller wanting to delve into Vietnam since the itinerary was crystal clear and pre-arranged, making the journey smooth. The camaraderie within the group certainly enriched the adventure. A massive shoutout to Huy for such an unforgettable visit to Vietnam!!!

5 stars all the way!

Just did the backpacking through Thailand December 2023 tour, and I cannot recommend this tour enough. It was the best thing I have ever done, the most amazing 3 weeks ever. Within those 3 weeks, there is so much to do. I never thought it was going to be as good as it was, and our tour guides S and Heart were fantastic from start to finish. They love to show you their country and are such fantastic tour guides. There is never a dull moment with these guys. Not only are they amazing tour guides, but they are also amazing friends and so full of knowledge. They know how to make you laugh every day. Even on our free days, they will help choose what to do and help book activities. They were amazing and made so much time for each and every person on tour and snapped the most amazing photographs every day along our tour. I would love to book another tour with these guys again.

I met some of the most amazing people throughout the December trip and hopefully looking forward to all meeting up again to make more memories!! Thailand is a beautiful country, and I really think everybody needs to experience this tour, no matter what age. Just do it, and you will not regret a single moment. I am so happy I got the opportunity to do it, and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Amazing country and amazing people. Just book it and go. The tour is so well put together, the vans were comfortable, the van drivers were amazing, all the places we stayed throughout our trip were brilliant. The whole thing was a fantastic experience. 5 stars all the way.

Backpacking Thailand Tour

I had an incredible 3-week tour in Thailand, accompanied by my partner, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. Our tour was led by two outstanding guides, S and Heart, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. Alongside us were 21 other fantastic individuals from various corners of the globe. Initially strangers, we bonded over shared experiences and have since become lifelong friends. The tour offered a perfect blend of city life, rich cultural immersion, and idyllic beach escapes, presenting the diverse beauty of Thailand in all its glory. I have absolutely nothing negative to report about our journey, except for the inevitable sadness that came with its conclusion. This experience has left me eager to explore more, and I am already planning to embark on another adventure with this company in the future. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to create a friendly, inclusive environment has truly set them apart.

The Vietnam tour

I've embarked on the first of three tours I booked, starting with Vietnam, and it's been an exceptional journey so far. The tour guide exceeded all expectations, offering not just a wealth of knowledge but also unparalleled assistance. Every query I had was addressed swiftly and efficiently before the trip even began. The Vietnam tour itself lived up to every promise made in the advertisement, delivering an experience that was both enriching and memorable. The seamless blend of cultural immersion and adventure was exactly what I was looking for, making it a truly unforgettable part of my travels.

Unforgettable time!

Certainly, I'd heartily recommend this trip to anyone out there. The magic truly lies in the tour guides, who ensure everyone is well taken care of, making the experience seamless. What's fantastic is that the cost already covers all excursions and accommodations, meaning all that's left for you to do is to relax and thoroughly enjoy yourself. During my time, I managed to forge friendships that felt as if they'd last a lifetime, a testament to the communal and welcoming atmosphere created by the tour. It's a complete package where you're guaranteed to have an unforgettable time.
