Impact 🌎

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.

Bali intro 12 day tour

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

19 day epic Indonesia

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.

The best tour!!!!

I booked the 9 day Bali intro tour and it was absolutely amazing! From start to finish I couldn’t have asked for anything more. My tour guide was Violetta (V) and she truly went above and beyond to make sure we were always okay, happy and safe. I made so many incredible memories and ticked off bucket list moments such as swimming with the turtles! Everything runs so smoothly on the intro tour and I am so incredibly happy that I was able to do this! Thank you intro but most of all thank you soooo much V🤍🫶🏼🏄🏻‍♀️🐢✨

What was your funniest moment?
The amount of times I fell off the surfboard whilst learning to surf!
Pros
  • Amazing group leader
  • Met so many friends
  • Did so many activities
Cons
  • The end of the tour, never wanted to leave !

Epic Indonesia 15 day tour

I’ve done a few Intro tours, and I think this just might be my favourite. The great mix of culture, fun activities, and nightlife was perfect. Our leader Courtney, was the BEST. She was on top of everything throughout the tour, answered any questions you had and was so great at mixing with everyone from the group. Her passion for Bali showed and made a big difference. She was hilarious and made my final trip epic! I never had to worry about anything - I could relax and enjoy everything Bali had to offer!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was quite nervous about the surfing but everyone in the group encouraged each other and it was such a laugh
Pros
  • Cultural experiences
  • Volcano hike
  • Never having to worry about anything
Cons
  • Would have loved longer at the villa

Amazing experience ✨

I had the most amazing time on the 12 day Bali intro tour with the best leader Courtney ❤️ The whole experience was extremely well organised and there was a good balance between cultural activities, nights out and chill time. Courtney was fab - she kept everyone on track, was so knowledgeable and made sure we all had a fun time. Would 100% recommend especially for anyone travelling solo. Our group was a mixed age range which was great and everyone was comfortable spending time as a group or doing their own thing when they wanted. Amazing experience ✨✨✨

Florinel George Tudor

Bali

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.

What is your favorite travel memory?

It’s very hard to name one favourite travel memory, as no trip is ever the same, and even if you return to the country you’ve been before, you’ll always have a new favourite memory!

But if I have to name one, it’s going to be the volcano sunrise hike in Bali! Watching the sun come up on the horizon from the top of an active volcano is such a once in a lifetime experience!

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

I’ve realised that travelling with a group is the best way to travel!

Whenever I used to go travelling, I would go all by myself and try to meet new people along the way. But that isn’t always easy if you only have a week or two to spend in a country.

But if you come with a group of like minded people from day one until the end, it changes the whole experience completely!

IT’S DOUBLE THE FUN IF YOU CAN SHARE IT WITH SOMEONE!

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

“Adrian! We’re planning a reunion with the whole group next month! You need to come!”

Hearing that people who were strangers to each other before coming on a tour, are now becoming best friends and planning reunions and next trips together, is just the best thing you can possibly hear from someone.

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

I would definitely choose the 13-day Japan Adventure!

Japan is just this this country that blends in ultramodern cities, very rich history and culture with some of the most beautiful nature as well!

From the Bullet train ride, to a Samurai experience, Mount Fuji, Sushi making class and so much more!
This tour has all you need when you come to Japan!

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

#SmallChange

It’s our initiative towards responsible travel. We not only encourage people to reduce single-use plastics, participate in beach cleanups, but also support local communities and engage in cultural exchange.

It’s great to see how people start using reusable water bottles, buy locally made products, or teach local people few English words.

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

To be a successful company, you have to be passionate about what you do and make sure you keep your employees happy.

I believe that if you’ll keep these things in order, your employees are going to go that extra mile for you and your customers, no matter what problems you’ll face, you’ll always get through it.
