Program Reviews

Wow where to start! This trip has been life changing no word of a lie! Not only was it perfectly planned and ran so smoothly but it was also allowed me to see the best parts of Palawan.

We got to full immerse ourselves into Tru Filipino culture right from the start!! Our first stop was Port Barton where we did some incredible island hopping, swam with turtles, had lunch with a local fishing village spent the day with the locals playing basketball. Oh and the food we had was out of this world!!

We then headed to one of the most sort after destinations in the world El Nido The island hopping and snorkeling there was incomparable to anything I have ever had the pleasure of doing!! The lagoons and reefs Truly are what everyone says they are!!

To finish the trip off we did what I consider the highlight of the tour!! 3 days and 2 night spent on our own private beach at Camp Carabao on Coron Island!! I feel my words will only let this place down. But to get the opportunity to no see but live with the local tribes on the island is a memory I will never forget! I have never seen a more picturesque location nor met such lovely people in my life. The sunsets were the most intensely beautiful sunsets I could imagine! The day trips were phenomenal! And the night sky's where like actually being in out space itself there were so many stars.

A huge, huge, huge thank you to Try Travels and our incredible guide Dan for the trip of a lifetime!! I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone in seek of the Tru wanderlust.

Dean and Papsii are top notch. They both know how to have a good time and are experts in everything Thailand. They kept the entire trip in order, always made sure everyone was safe, and made it their priority to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves.
Dean was great at keeping the group organized and making sure everyone was having a great time. He brought the group together and helped everyone become very close friends. He had great stories and helped change my perspective on the world. A very helpful, fun and genuine guy.
Papsii knew everything there is to know about Thailand. Since he’s a Thai native he was able to seamlessly communicate with other Thai people and ensure every aspect of the trip went as smooth as possible. Not only that but he is a great person to be around; extremely positive, generous and hilarious.
Together, Dean and Papsii were a dynamic duo. Both of their skills complimented each others’ and that helped everyone in the group make the most of the trip. I really enjoyed my trip to Thailand with TruTravels and I hope to see everyone I met soon!

Hands down the most fun I have ever had travelling! The trip was extremely well organized and both tour guides were very knowledgable and well prepared. They always made sure everyone was taken care of as well as included in all activities. Both of them were extremely funny guys and always up for a good time, they helped bring a large crew together from strangers to one huge happy family! In a couple days everyone had become great friends and ready to start a wild adventure together. I have never been so close to that many people in such a short period of time that it made leaving the group extremely hard. So many lifelong friendships developed in a matter days.
This is a great tour company with the best employees. They work hard and have lots of fun doing it. The only downside to this tour is ten days is NOT long enough and if you can do a longer a would highly recommend it. Once you get going on the tour your never going to want to stop!
Big shout out to Dean and Papsii! You guys made it the best possible ever!

The tour was such an incredible experience from start to finish. The places we visited were incredible and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to travel with.

Our tour leaders Dean and Papsii really made the experience for me. They continuously worked hard and went out of their way - whether it was telling us information on the places we were visiting, making sure everyone was together and safe on a night out, helping us to plan our onward travel, or just being great friends to chat to.

The tour itinerary was jam packed and I was never without something to do. Even at chilled times we were given great recommendations on what would be fun to do in the area so we never got bored. There were some late nights and early mornings but every one was worth it.

I really really enjoyed this trip it was filled with loads of enjoyable, exciting and adrenaline filled activity’s, on this trip I did snorkelling with the sardines and turtles, Scuba diving which is something I’ve never done before, canyoning which was my favourite part of the tour, surfing and many more the ones listed were the activity’s I enjoyed most. We had 4 stops and everyone one was amazing in its own way. My favourite was Shargao. All these activity’s and places were great but what really made the trip was how good Jason my tour guide was he was amazing and did a sick job at making sure me the other members had a great time I was impressed with how he could be professional but also be chilled at the same time. Also one of the days we couldn’t do a boat trip due to weather so Jason provided an alternative which was wakeboarding which was awesome and I think should be added to the tour. Thanks to Jason for making the trip so good

My experience on this tour was excellent it was made up of lots of fun loads of memory making bonding with new people, the experience was unique because I got to enjoy a range of activity’s ranging from boat trips to beautiful destinations to partying. The trip would not have been the same without our top class guides dean and pappsi they both did an amazing job at making sure everything ran smoothly and safely but also making it as fun as possible and ensuring we had the best time possible I was also really impressed with the night time things they recommended for example food places, nights out etc.. . I would highly recommend this tour to other people because I feel any age can enjoy it as long as your up for a laugh and a good time. This trip was amazing.

Trutravels 16 day full moon island hopper tour has been THE best time of my life! I can’t thank Dean and Papsi our tour leaders enough for making it such a special experience I’ll never forget. It’s also brought bonds with people I never thought would be possible in such a short space of time. I truly feel I’ve made friends for life from all corners of the world and to me that’s priceless ! Dean and papsi were professional throughout but knew how to have a good time! They took us to so many picturesque places and shared moments that will stay with me for life. The tour was extremely well conducted I didn’t have to lift a finger the whole time as everything was done for me I could literally just fully immerse myself in the experience of a life time. Tru credit to the trutravels family ! Peace ✌️👊 untill next time ! #morefunshit!!!

From start to finish there is not one single thing I can fault about this trip, as someone who has never travelled before I think booking through a company is the best way for it, you’re taken to all the best spots and everything is organised for you making it so stress free but also have free time and flexible to make it your own but what really made the trip for me was our tour guides Papsii and Dean, I honestly can’t thank them enough for making sure each and everyone of us had the best time. Our safety was in their best interests at all times and there wasn’t one point I felt unsafe/worried about anything, they were both so welcoming and lovely, 2 really down to earth people. Papsii is so passionate about his culture and really loves to share it with us all which makes it even more special during different activities through out the tour and dean always keeping the group laughing and uplifted, they both got involved in everything we did with us. I feel extremely lucky to have met such an amazing group of people on my tour, Papsii, Dean and the tru travel family will have a place in my heart forever❤️Some beautiful sights and some of the best times of my life, I’ve made so many memories that will never be forgotten!

What can I say, my experience with tru travel excedes my expectations. From day one, When i met the group I knew we were going to have the time of our lives.

I want to give a shout out to Papsii for always having a smile on his face and bangin our those god damn sexy dance moves anywhere and everywhere. And to Dean, as soon as I met him I knew I was in safe hands. Not only were they my tour guides but they became friends and I couldn’t have asked for more responsible and dedicated staff to give me the best experience of my life. Thank you guys ❤️❤️

The way they both handled every situation made the trip fun, relaxed and I felt right at home straight away. They kept the party going throughout the whole trip and made our memories even sweeter. I’m going to really miss you both and want to thank trutravels for making such an amazing itinerary and experience overall. I can’t wait for my next adventure!

I had the best 10 days of my life doing the 10 days full moon experience. Having never traveled solo before I did not know what to expect and had never been so anxious however as soon as I got to the airport and saw Papsii waiting for me I straight away felt at ease and excited about my travels. Throughout the trip he has been such a positive ball of energy and I don’t think you could ever be anything but happy and always laughing when he’s around. He also taught me so many things about Thailand which has made me fall in love with the country way more than I did before.

Dean has also made this experience the best it could have been. From the first day I met him I knew we would get along really well and that he will be such an fun and amazing person to spend my 10 days of heaven with.
He was always there for you no matter what, any questions or help you needed with anything he would go out of his way to help even if it wasn't part of his job. Dean also went out of his way to get to know everyone and make sure that they were having an amazing time.

As a whole this I had the best time of my life, the places we went to were the most beautiful places i’ve ever seen and all the itinerary was so much fun. I have made friends for life both in our team and out who have given me the best memories and this would have never been possible without trutravels.❤️
