About US



Philosophy

At I Heart Backpackers we want everyone to enjoy traveling as much as we do. We believe that regardless of how much money a person has, all young adults should have access to the unique education of world experience. That's why we're dedicated to creating affordable European tours for 18-26 year old backpackers. Whether you're an experienced traveler or a first-timer, I Heart Backpackers offers the spontaneity and excitement that backpacking always brings, while traveling cheaper and safer in groups.

Every trip, although unstructured, includes airfare, train fares, hostels, and public transfers from the airport to the hostel and back. Every tour starts or ends with a Welcome or Farewell Dinner, and every IHB backpacker recieves a commerative towel pre-tour. Also on board are two experienced backpacking tour coordinators with global phones who are easily accessible at all times. Whether you sightsee all day or party all night, I Heart Backpackers is watching out for you. We do all the basic trip planning, at the cheapest group rates we can find, so there's nothing for you to stress over. Except on the stopover portion of any stopover flights, an IHB employee will be with you at all times of travel, getting you to your train, plane, or boat on time. Your tour coordinators will also escort you to and from your hostels on traveling days, so no worries about getting lost in the big city with everything you own on your back.

Aside from making lifelong friends, since I Heart Backpackers is marketed mostly towards a college crowd, it is an excellent way to network. So get ready for the best summer of your life and come experience new people, customs, and cultures with us!





Meet your Coordinators

Your tour coordinators are always on hand to help with everything, from being lost to simple boredom. Since they've got global cells, you can call either number, night or day.


Barbara: The Night Coordinator

It's all there in the name: Bar-bar-a. She knows how to have a good time and where to have it. Unless she's chilling at a cafe, you won't see Barbara much during the day. But at night, you'll find her everywhere. In every city she'll have inevitably found the hottest club and the coolest hole-in-the-wall. You're welcome to follow her lead each night and experience the craziest of adventures.

Ginny: The Day Coordinator

Always wanting to learn more and see more, Ginny will tour non-stop with a camera in hand, sometimes into the wee hours of the morning. She's got a plan for every day (which she probably won't stick to), that combines the lesser known and quiet curiosities of the city, with the bustling tourist sights. Everyone is welcome to join her as she explores each city, but be prepared to abuse your feet.
