Program Reviews

this trip has been an amazing experience! i was lucky enough to join a group of 7 wonderful travellers and our superb leader rianna. Each day has something to look forward to which keeps you very busy. there is a great mix of active outings, cultural experiences and fun nights out!! there were also opportunities to experience other activities that were not included on the trip itinerary, such as the mt.batur hike. Meeting a group of people coming from multiple countries was a highlight and a great way to make friends for life. visiting the rice terraces was surreal and surfing was a great way to start out the trip. meeting locals along the way was a great way to immerse yourself in the culture and learn more about bali. I recommend this tour to anyone that’s considering a trip to bali!

This tour was my second tru travels tour and just like the last, it was amazing. Everything was so well organized from airport pickup to all the activities. The tour was the perfect mix between adventure and chill time. I never felt like the trip was rushed or found myself being bored. Accommodation were always amazing. The hotels all had pools, breakfast included and AC! The tour guide, Rianna was so knowledgeable about all the cities and islands; giving us great food, bar and sit seeing recommendations. She was also very helpful in organizing activities for us that were not included in the tour! Like the volcano trek!!! She was so fun and always made sure we all were enjoying ourselves. I can definitely see myself doing another Tru Travel tour!!!

This has already been my 3rd TruTravels tour - and like the ones before - I just loved it sooo much! The mix between relaxing , partying and exploring is perfect! The quad - biking on the sand dunes and the Hai Van Pass jeep ride where definitely one of my favorite experiences of this tour! Stunning views and lots of adventure time! Also the cooking class was organized perfectly - I loved the meals we cooked! It gives you a great insight in the Vietnamese cuisine!
Our Vietnam Tour wouldn't been the same without Edna! Edna is the definition of sunshine all day long :) even at 6am in the morning on the way to our hotel she puts a smile on her face and jokes around. With her good energy, great knowledge and sense of humor Edna made the tour even more enjoyable and funny! Also she teached me to be grateful for what i have! Such a strong and inspiring woman. Edna was not only a good tour guide for me, she is also a friend for life!!!

I would definitely recommend the 19 day philippines tour! We went ziplining, canyoneering, island hopping, had a 3 day island castaway experience, surfing, snorkelling, swam with turtles and millions of sardines and made wonderful new friends! Both our guides Amer and Benji are legends, they helped us with everything.

I am very glad that I did the entire 19 day trip as the east and west sides are different! We had a little group of 10 for the west and 9 for the east, aged from 20 - 27.

This was a great way to see the philippines, everything was organised and I saw much more than I would have as a solo traveller! 10/10 experience

My TruTravels tour has been amazing! I feel like I have seen so much of the Philippines and couldn't have asked for two better tour guides! Both guides (Amer and Benji) couldn't have been any more helpful and organised if they tried! Even in spare time and when the tour ended they both bent over backwards to help us all individually. I have made some great memories with people and completed a few things on my bucket list! If your looking for clear blue seas like you've never seen before, green like youve never seen before and sandy beaches you see on post cards, this is the tour for you! I highly recommend TruTravels as every single worry is taken away from you so you can have the best experience and enjoy your time away and take in the culture! I've done 2 tours with TruTravels and I will be doing more for sure!

Had the best time in the Philippines and I couldn't thank Trutravels enough, everything was amazing and i couldn't fault it at all. I would highly recommend this tour and any trutravels tours as I have been on one before in Thailand. It's great value for money and so much is included compared to other tour opperators that I looked into and also know from experience. The tour guides are so helpful, even for after your tour and they bend over backwards to make sure your comfortable. Dont think trutravels is just a party atmosphere because it really isn't, even if you dont drink much or at all you will still have just as much fun as those that do. It's important people know this as I think trutravels can be looked upon as a party vibe. I will defintely be doing more trutravel tours.

This was an Absolutely amazing trip, Inhad an incredible time and I would not of seen half of the things I did if I hadn’t of done this tour and I had tried to go alone. I have experienced some amazing things and also met some great people.
The accommodation was always clean and decent standard.
Our tour guide Bee was fantastic and so friendly, nothing was ever a problem for her.
I did feel for me that there was abit too many boat trips and sometimes after travelling for hours we did not have much time to get ready once we reached our accommodation before we had to meet up to go out again. The travelling can be tiring so it would of been nice to have abit of time to relax before meeting again, sometimes it was a rush to drop bags in room and quick shower then straight back out.

Over the month of March I was lucky enough to take part in the Total thailand Tour by Tru Travels. Not only were the activities amazing, but thanks to both Benmore and Bee (our tour guides) the trip was made even better. Both were so sweet and knew so much about Thailand and made sure we were all having a great time and were safe while abroad. The first portion of the trip lead bun Benmore was fast paced but was perfect for Northern Thailand as there is a lot to see. Ben did a great job at keeping us busy and showing us everything we really wanted to see. The second portion of the trip involved hopping through out the many islands of Thailand. Bee did amazing and was able to keep track of all 20 of us, which is a hard task in itself. Both are some of the sweetest humans you will ever meet and I have left Thailand happy to call them both my friends. I would highly recommend the trip! Great mix of culture, adventure, history, and relaxation!

Can’t give Darrin credit enough for dealing with an extremely challenging group throughout this tour. He handled all situations calmly and kindly even though being faced with very stubborn and tough characters.
Large groups of all female would have been tough for anybody to handle!
A large chunk of the trip is taken up by travelling which is to be expected so condensing the programme down to less locations with more time in each would be beneficial I feel.
Ninhvana was our favourite location by far and would have loved more time here.
Booking 3 trips in a row it could have been received well if discount was given due to the price we paid for each through trutravels.
Would definitely book again through this company and reckoned Darrin as a leader without hesitation.

Darrin is a great guy and the tour was jam packed with action. We’ve done several tours with trutravels and the leader had a bloody tough group of people to handle, to say the least! He did well considering the circumstances, kept a cool head at all times and got everyone around safely, so massive kudos for that as most people would’ve thrown in the towel. We loved Haivanh (however it is spelt), Hoi An was amazing and the Jeep tour was pretty awesome too. The accommodation was mixed, some was class and others were ok, but that’s expected when we only spend a grand for such a long tour, therefore there are no complaints here. Trutravels overall are a great company who I will certainly book with in the future. Where to next? Maybe their Sri Lanka tour or perhaps the Philippines.
