Program Reviews

Just finished the 17 day Vietnam Explorer tour. Really well organized with great accommodations. The big cities like HCMC and Hanoi were okay, Nhinvhana, Mui Ne and especially Halong Bay were absolutely amazing.

Activities such as cooking class and quad driving in the sand dunes were really fun and unique.
It is a bit of a far strechted country, so you spend a lot of time traveling although transportation is well organized and quite comfortable.

Pinky (our tourguide) made sure we got to know all the important parts about the Vietnamese culture, brought us to great restaurants and was a lot of fun overall!

If there is one thing that i'd change, i'd include a couple days in Sapa as i believe that is one of the must sees in Vietnam..

Excellent trip! Pinky, our tour guide was amazing. She had excellent knowledge on the history of Vietnam and was fun.
I would definitely recommend this trip, great group and great activities.
Was very tiring tho, would recommend removing a stop. Maybe ninhvana. Was a hassle to get to, involved a full day of travel which left us very tired when we arrived to Hoi An.
Also airport pickup was very disorganized. After long travel, it was annoying waiting around for 1.5hrs for my driver. Wifi at the airport was also hard to find and I don’t think I would have been picked up unless I sent a message.
I also messaged trutravels staff before booking the trip and they said some things were included which actually were not (massages at Ninhvana).

From the moment I first met our tour guide Arthur he made me feel very welcome, took an interest into where I was from and was very enthusiastic about the 2 weeks we were due to spend together. His knowledge of every destination was fantastic! And for such a young man. If there was any problems he made sure he was contactable by always updating us in the group chat as to where and what time we were due to meet, making the experience very organised. As for the accommodation it was top class! I didn't expect it to be so good! Along with the day trips, the beaches, the sunsets and the constant good vibes it was a fantastic experience for myself and I would highly recommend trutravels and in particular Arthur as a tour guide. He's a top fella!!

I have been on the Tru Travels 14 day Thailand Island Hopper tour with Arthur as my tour guide, and it has been amazing! The tour took us to Bangkok, Khao Sok National Park, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, Phi Phi and Phuket. There were lots of activities included in the tour; including boat trips to snorkel, ziplining, archery and opportunities for additional activities. All of the accommodation was brilliant; very high standard and great locations. Our tour group was small, starting with 5 people and then ending with just 3. However this was not a problem at all, I enjoyed the small group and the fact we could get to know each other better. Arthur was an excellent tour guide! He was always involved in our activities, encouraged us to be fully engaged in the tour and he also came out to party with us. And he captured our tour with some amazing pictures. Thank you Arthur for an amazing trip! I would recommend Tru Travels to anyone wanting to visit the Thailand Islands, and I hope to book another Tru Travels tour soon!

8 days of excitement. All the sites were so much fun and absolutely beautiful. Our tour guide Art was the best guide we could’ve had. Superman of all guides. Very knowledgeful and fun. Highly recommend art as a guide for anyone considering tru travel. Felt very safe during the trip. I enjoyed all the temples. bottle beach was my favorite part of the trip. So cool and such great vibes. make sure to play some good volleyball while you’re there. The boat trip was very fun and relaxing. Soaked in all that sun. Made some lifetime friends during this trip and hate to see it end. overall great experience.

I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone!! It honestly had it all and didn’t want the trip to end. Had the most amazing 3 weeks and have made memories and friends that will last a life time. The accommodation was all very clean and comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome. All the activities were the most fun and our tour guides Arthur and Bee had a lot of banter, were kind and fun and made us feel very welcome in Thailand and filled us with local knowledge. The group size was small and I felt this only enhanced our experience and we all were very close. The food was sooooooo good and we even got to cook our own at the cooking school! Can’t wait to book my next tru travels tour already!! Big love!! Living young and wild and free!!! Ta ta for now!!!

Best experience. Not really anything else to say. Could not have asked for any better. The guides Arthur and Bee were amazing. Had the most fun and learnt so much about this amazing country. I will miss these people with all my heart and will definitely be booking onto another tour with them. I have never laughed, cried with happiness and fallen in love with a place and people more than this. I can’t wait to travel more place and see even more of the world but Nothing can compare to the time I’ve have over the last 3 weeks. I’ve created more memories than I could have dreamed of. Really no exaggeration when I say that this has been the most amazing, insane and best expierience of my life. I will never forget this tour. I can say for certain that I leave this tour with real friends who I’ve shared a once in a life time experience with. Thank you so much Arthur and Bee for everything. You really are the best! Xx

This 17 day trip was unbelievable. From the accommodation to the meals and activities, there was no point at which I could say that the trip disappointed in any way. One reason for this was due to the excellence of our tour guide Pinky. Her knowledge of all the areas, as well as her playful and always positive nature was the icing on the cake. Her recommendations from activities to restaurants were always fantastic and helped showcase the beauty of Vietnam. The tour itself followed the path up from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi, stopping at cities on the way. This allowed for a perfect snapshot of the country itself and was just the right amount of time to experience it properly. I would definitely reccoment to any traveller wanting to get an idea of the country in a friendly and personal group environment.

The 8 day tour is amazing I would recommend it to anyone, it was the right amount of activities and chill time. We got to kayak, ride quads, visit temples, practice mauy thai, go on boat trips and soak up the sun. The accommodation was varied and staying in a beach hut and a floating boat was a great experience. Our guides partied with us as much as we wanted and showed us the best spots on koh Sam road Bangkok and on the islands and showed us a good time! I would love to go back to Bottle Beach in koh phangyan one day it was like paradise and koh sok national park was like nothing I have ever seen before just as beautiful as the pictures. The food was delicious but the best thing about the tour was our fabulous guides! I can not speak highly enough of both of them. They were kind, knowledgeable and sooo funny we made the best memories. Thank you so much !xxx

This trip was incredible. Pinky the tour guide was so fun and knowledgable and always approachable. Pinky always went the extra mile and delivered an excellent tour from start to finish. All the activities were amazing. I loved the quad biking and zip lining and my favourite place was Hoi-An. There wasn’t anything I didn’t enjoy. The food, people and activities all exceptional. I would throughly recommend this trip. One thing I would mention is an earlier check in at some of the hotels - twice we had to wait to get a room. It wasn’t too much of a problem but when you are tired would have been great to have a shower and somewhere to lie down after a long journey. Pinky is an absolute credit to your team and was so handy she could speak the language and help us travel around.
