Impact 🌎

Sustainability

At INTRO our commitment to a sustainable future is a key principle, and the driving force behind our Small Change initiative, which we launched in 2017.

As part of our goal to make a real positive impact to the environment, we partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects in 2019 to plant 10 trees for every booking we received. And as a result we’ve planted tens of thousands of trees, aided reforestation, rehabilitated wildlife and reduced poverty in multiple local communities.

However we wanted to go even further and achieve true sustainability, so in late 2023 we began a new partnership with Path Net Zero to accurately measure our tours emissions, and Veritree to plant trees to offset those emissions.

We are now very proud to say that every INTRO tour is 100% carbon neutral.

Welll, having V as part of the company is 💯 one of your best assets, she has made the Bali intro 12 days more than anything possible… she is a hero ! The experiences, accommodation and group made it more than anything I can imagine and totally made my year. Has given me a zest to travel more! I cannot recommend the tour anymore and will be speaking about it for so many years to come. Travelling out of Europe for the first time has been made so easy and felt so safe, I wouldn’t have done this any other way. Thank you!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Do it!!

Pros

Surfing
The home visits
V!

Cons

None

This was my first group tour and solo travel. Violetta and the Intro Travel program made my experience absolutely unforgettable. I felt so safe and everything was organized perfectly for us. The timing stayed at each place was planned out perfectly and there was a good mix of chill days and busy/active days.

Violetta made our trip seamless, relaxing and most of all so fun. She helped create an amazing atmosphere for our groups to bond in.

Violetta was so accommodating for my gluten allergy as well and made sure I could eat at any of the restaurants we went to. Thank you V!!

I will 100% be booking with Intro Travel again!

What was your funniest moment?

Honestly everyday was such a great laugh!!! I can’t pick just one moment.

Pros

The once in a lifetime activities like snorkelling with turtles!
Seamless travel from place to place.
An amazing group leader!!!

Cons

Having to say goodbye at the end 🥲

I just finished the 12-day intro Bali tour and cannot recommend it enough! Not only did the tour include the main highlights of Bali, but it made me feel supported in a foreign country where it can be scary if you don’t have anyone to go to. Thankfully, our group leader, Violetta, was the most amazing person ever and made us feel so supported! Whether it was helping us snorkel or surf when we were scared to helping us out when we were sick, it lifted a weight on my shoulders to know there was someone I could turn to. Anyone can put together a good travel itinerary, but I loved this trip with Intro because of V and the rest of my group members!

Violetta was my tour leader for the 12 day bali intro tour and she was absolutely brilliant! She was so kind and caring and super informative when we needed to know informative for different parts of the tour. I would fully recommend doing the bali intro tour day 12 and especially if you have V as a tour leader! She was so attentive and helpful whenever anyone needed her and helped us through any problems we had and was always there to get to know us and see how we were doing. Bali is a beautiful country and so worth visting!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?

I would say snorkeling as that isn't something I was confident doing but the group and V my leader helped me build my confidence and help me face my fears!

Pros

Beautiful scenery
Amazing night life
Lots to do

Cons

The horses in gili T
The animals

I had the most amazing time on the Bali Intro Trip with V! She made me feel at ease from the very beginning and this continued throughout the whole trip with her warmth, positivity and kindness. I made some incredible friends on this trip and have created some of the best memories yet. Snorkelling with turtles was amazing, as was seeing dolphins swimming in the sea. I loved visiting the rice paddies and waterfalls and really enjoyed going to the stunning Gili Islands. Would highly recommend this tour!

I had the most amazing time in Indonesia! From the moment it all began, the support before the trip and the guidance throughout were truly second to none. Every detail was taken care of, making the entire experience seamless, immersive, and unforgettable.

A huge part of what made this journey so magical was our incredible guide, Violetta. Her warmth, knowledge, and passion brought every destination to life. She didn’t just show us places—she created moments. Whether it was navigating local traditions, uncovering hidden gems, or just sharing a laugh along the way, Violetta made every step feel special and deeply personal.

You can tell she genuinely cares about every traveler’s experience, and that energy is infectious. She made sure we felt safe, inspired, and fully present in every moment.

Thank you, Violetta, for turning an amazing trip into a life-long memory. I can’t imagine having done it without you!

What was your funniest moment?

Getting a frog out of my room! The guide helped me and we laughed and screamed :)

I had the most incredible experience on the 12 day Bali tour with some of my highlights being GILI T turtles, surfing and the dolphins however every experience was incredible. I couldn’t thank our guide V enough for her time and patience on the trip she’s was like having a second mum and made me feel so comfortable and at ease through out. Definitely worth considering was incredible. I met some amazing people on the trip who will be friends for life and forever. Just the most fantastic trip with some many memories that will last forever.

I just finished the 19 day epic Indonesia tour led by Courtney. I’ll start by saying a big thank you for being an amazing group leader, she brought the banter, the knowledge, and she ensured that this tour was an unforgettable experience.

My highlight of the tour was the Komodo boat trip, where we visited stunning viewpoints, observed Komodo dragons in the wild and swam with manta rays. It was truly a breathtaking experience that I will forever look back on with joy.

Overall, I was extremely happy with this tour; the accommodation was exceptional, the activities entertaining, and the people were endearing. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to have an amazing experience in Indonesia.
Thank you, Courtney, thank you INTRO.

Questions & Answers

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you choose this program?

Ever since visiting Thailand in 2020 (right before the lockdown), I became fascinated with what Southeast Asia has to offer. The traditions, amazing views, and the warmth of the people are things I always remember fondly, so it was just a matter of time until I returned. The opportunity came quickly: two friends and I were coming back from a ski trip one late evening when the topic of this year’s vacation came up, and in just one minute, we collectively decided on Bali.

What did your program provider (or university) assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

The tour included accommodations: a hotel in Canggu, a private villa in Lovina, twin rooms in Gili Trawangan and Ubud, transport mainly by van between locations and boat rides, and some meals, primarily breakfast. I only needed to purchase the flight and set aside some pocket money for snacks, drinks, and extra activities.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

Don’t hold back! Take it all in and go all out. Strike up conversations with your fellow travelers, enjoy karaoke in the van while on the road, and share your funniest stories. Savor the local food, dance when your favorite song comes on, or better yet, sing it! Explore during your free time: for example, I ran from the hotel in Canggu to Tanah Lot Temple, which we visited the next day, and did two laps around the island while in Gili Trawangan.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

A typical day starts with breakfast, which may or may not include hangover from last night’s party. The group leader arrives, does a quick headcount, and announces our scheduled activity for the day. During this time, the group is mostly quiet, with only small talk present. After the first activity, the group’s energy rises during lunch, where jokes can be heard all around. The second activity brings joy to everyone, as each person gives their best to have fun or excel. By dinner, spirits are high— and not just the ones in the glasses—and reflections on the day’s funniest moments are shared aloud for all to enjoy.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

For me personally, I have a fear of deep water and I'm not a strong swimmer, so surfing and snorkeling felt like challenges I had to overcome. Surprisingly, surfing went much better than I expected; I enjoyed it so much that I didn't want to take a break. Snorkeling was another pleasant surprise. Last year, I couldn’t stay in the water for long, but this time I completed the whole activity thanks to my friends, who made sure I was okay—checking that my mask was properly fitted and keeping an eye on me. I’m truly grateful for their support.

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What is your favorite travel memory?

This is a hard question as there are so many different ones. I have to go with the trip I had last year to Cambodia.

I was only going as a bit of an add onto had no expectations of it. By the end of my trip, I fell in love with the place. The culture, the history, and the beaches...it was just an amazing place and I can not wait to return again in the future.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I have only been working for the company a short time but in that time I have learnt a great deal.

I have learnt so much about Australia and many other countries which I didn't know before so my knowledge has increased massively. I have become a lot more confident in public speaking and talking about travel opportunities with people.

View Entire Interview

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

I have not yet had a story told to me yet as they are all still out and traveling. However, I know from before they left after the group that they were super excited to be traveling with the new people they had just met, as well as making new friends along the way. People always go off and have amazing experiences and I can't wait to hear all the wonderful things everyone has been up to.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would choose Japan. I have been on many of the INTRO tours and when Japan came out, I wasn't too fussed on it. I have no idea why, because since learning about the country and the things it has to offer, I am itching to go. There is so much culture which would be amazing to see, and who doesn't want to learn to use a samurai sword?

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

The company is just so unique in itself. I mean, what company has weekly ping pong competitions? It's a super chill place to work, which is what I like about it too.

I am always proud of the group of people I work with. Everyone works really hard and it really does show. Every day everyone is learning and that makes everyone proud - when people are learning and picking up new skills and just generally bettering themselves.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

Honestly, the biggest factor is being happy and enjoying work. If everyone is passionate about the company, then that is the key for it to be successful. If you weren't happy within the company, it will bring others down and that isn't going to help in any way.

Passion is the biggest factor; if you're passionate, you will naturally work harder, which leads to more success.
