Fell in love with the land of dragons

I just finished the 17 Day Vietnam Explorer.

TruTravels are honestly the best group travel companies in S.E.A!
They are so hands on with you and the rest of the group!

In Vietnam this is exactly the same case. I have done 5 tours with Tru and will definitely be back for more !

I've had an incredible time in Vietnam, there is so much to do and the on the tour activities are incredible! I had so much everyday highlights being. The Dark Cave in Phong Nha, the Sand Dunes in Mui Ne and of course Castaways in Ha Long Bay.

Along side the incredible itinerary we were allowed to go and experience the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills in Da Nang and the Duck Stop in Phong Nha, which our tour leader organised!

It is honestly one of the best ways to see this incredible country!

Best 8 days ever!

I could not recommend this tour or TruTravels enough! I had the best 8 days traveling around beautiful Thailand with such a fun group! My guide Delaney was amazing and super involved throughout the 8 days. Everything was very organized and such a good price for everything thats included! The temples and river cruise were a very cool way to see more of Bangkok. Khao Sok was my favorite stop on tour - probably one of the prettiest places I've ever been and such a hidden gem. Koh Phangan is a fun little island with loads to do. Bottle beach is amazing! I had such a fun time that I extended and did the Full Moon party with more TruTravels guests and would highly recommend if you have the time around full moon! Can't wait to do another tour with this amazing company!

Amazing

Shout outs to Tru Travels for an amazing experience, this company is next level when it comes to value for money, experiences, sights and most of all guides! Massive props to my Bois Dean, Jason and Amer for making my time in the Philippines and unforgettable time, they were all insightful, helpful and made sure the party was always happening! I got to see so many cool things and the best part was I didn't have to organise anything, in fact Jason was my own personal alarm clock if that isn't quality service I don't know what is! My personal favorite activity on this trip was the castle like church, it was made hundreds of years ago and has so much amazing history about it, the architecture was superb and spires we're pristine, and the church choir was incredible, plus I got to be blessed by the priest! Do this tour you won't regret it, you WILL have the time of your life! Much love

23 Day Full Moon Island Hopper Review

The past 23 days on this tour has been the most amazing days of my life. My expectations that I had coming on to this tour we’re surpassed. Even before leaving for the tour we were provided with all plus more of the information we needed to know for the tour even down to exact directions on getting out of the airport to your pick up. This tour provided me with the safety and security that I wouldnt have felt if I had chosen to not do a tour. Another big factor of why I loved a tour so much is when everything is planned for you it saves you so much more time to do other activities because we wouldn’t spend time booking places to stay, taxis, or figuring out where to eat, everything is done for you. Our accommodations in most places were quite nice and we’re way better than I expected them to be. What made this tour so special was being able to experience it with a whole group of people who are in the same position as you, by the end of this tour I had a family from different places all across the world. But the number one thing that made this tour so amazing were our tour guides, we had Arthur, Delaney and Gogi who were all went above and beyond to make sure we had the most amazing trip. Always so full of energy and trying to make everyone laugh the entire trip. You could go to any of them with any concerns at any time and they would help you to their best extent. I could not have asked for better guides. A big shoutout to Gogi for being alone on the last 10 days of the tour with 8 girls and going so above and beyond to do anything we needed. I could not have asked for a more amazing trip and am so thankful that I could do it with this group. Thank you!

Needed more things to do in Koh Phangan when staying there for 5 nights.

23day Thailand Full Moon Island Hopper

I had an amazing 23 days travelling in Thailand visiting lots of different places that I would never have thought of or seen if I wasn’t part of a tour. We experienced different types of accommodation from hostel life to hotels to beach bungalows. The tour guides (Delaney, Arthur and Gogi) made sure that we were all included, safe and having fun with everything, they were awesome guides and would highly recommend any tours with them. Delaney and Arthur led the first half of the tour and they were brilliant.. very organised with timings, letting us know what to bring, where to be the next day. Delaney I felt was the main tour guide in this group with lots of experience, knowledge, down to earth and very fun.. it was like she was one of our friends whilst also working. I could talk to her about anything and everything. She is the loveliest girl I have ever met. Arthur is one of the cutest guys I have ever met, lots of fun and an absolute sweetheart. I didn’t get to know Gogi very well until he took over on our last half of the tour, but I am glad I have got to know him now.. he is the kindest most genuine man ever, will do anything for you and knows all the best spots. He did a great job leading us on his own, especially being the only male in the group. We got to experience lots of activities from thai massages to snorkelling, quad biking and lots of partying and drinking. Abby also joined our tour for part of it and even though she wasn’t our guide, she still helped out, told us good places to go, helped us organise things, took us to places on our free days. She was an absolute gem.

What would you improve about this program?
One of the things I would say to improve on is people receiving different itineraries.. some peoples said they got most meals included, others only a few. Some also said different activities on them. We had to pay for quite a few taxis even though it was for things included.. But overall I had the most amazing time, I travelled by myself and have left with lots of friends and memories!!

23 DAY FULL MOON EXPERIENCE!

I don’t even know where to begin as I am still emotional that this amazing trip has came to an end.
Never did I think I would of had such an incredible experience with even more incredible people.

From day one of booking this tour our tour guides wanted us to be comfortable with one other and make friendships before meeting anyone so we all joint a group chat!! This was perfect to find out where everyone was from and for people solo traveling.

As soon as we landed in Bangkok we met with Arthur and Delaney! Straight away we all connected and we’re one big happy family, from getting taught how to key a beer to learning Thai! I can’t be anymore thankful for these two for honestly making myself and everyone feel so at ease and safe throughout the trip! They made sure everyone was okay and that everyone was happy!

Abby tagged along to our trip and even tho she wasn’t our tour guide she was a member of tru travels and made my trip even more amazing than it was!

After the 13 days was over and we had to say goodbye as the 8 of us continued with the rest of our 10 days, leaving them three was the hardest part!
What made the goodbyes easier we said hello to our new tour guide gogi!
Honestly I can’t put down in words how amazing he was! He made sure our experience was the best that Thailand could give us! From carrying our big bags when we were hungover (sorry gogi) to waking up at 5am cause we wanted to see sunset, nothing was a problem for him!

Leaving this tour is a bitter sweet moment, as saying goodbye to the best people I’ve ever met but gaining amazing friendship I’ll never forget!
Arthur, Delaney, Abby and gogi I can’t thank you guys enough!!
See yous in Ireland!!!❤️❤️

What would you improve about this program?
Some stuff wasn’t included. Like transport having to pay for some stuff. Too long at koh Pha-ngan as there wasn’t much to do.

23 Day full moon experience

This trip has honestly been the best experience of my life.

We had the best tour guides ever! Delaney gogi and arthur. Although we were sad to see Delaney and Arthur leave us for the first half of the trip, Gogi was unreal!!! (sexy pose). Arthur is a honeyyy and Delaney will always be the captain of the ship. Abby also played a massive part in the trip too ma wee donkey!

I thought coming to Thailand was going to be mental because let’s be serious it’s crazy here. But these 4 made my experience safe and secure. Everything was organised so well and the tour guides advised us in the right direction.
Our wee group developed such a bond and I’m leaving with friends for life.
We experienced everything in Thailand. From hostel life to floating bungalows to beach huts and hotels. I would never had experienced if I had of travelled solo and I thank tru travels for adding another chapter to my life.

The only thing I won’t miss about Thailand is the roosters 🐓

Memories I’ll never forget

This was a fantastic tour and I highly recommend either doing this tour or another one with Tru Travels. We were all invited to a Facebook group before we left home so we could get to know each other, this was brilliant as when i arrived in Thailand I felt like I already knew the others in my group already.

The tour guides, Deleany, Arthur and Gogi were fantastic and I cannot give them enough praise- they were full of knowledge, took us to some amazing places and we’re absolute babes! Delaney was the party animal who you could never outlast on a night out (trust me, we tried!), Arthur was so funny and always put a smile on your face and Gogi was the kindest and friendliest person ever! If you get any of them as your tour guides then you’re the luckiest person and will have a fantastic time!

There was a mix of people travelling together and solo travellers so if you’re worried about travelling alone then do one of their tours. The accommodation was great, the activities were so much fun and we still had free time to relax and top up our tans. I arrived in Thailand alone as a solo traveller and left being a part of a family.

I cannot wait to book my next tour with you guys, thank you all for the fantastic memories!

Tru travels

I have had the best experience of my life with tru travels they are such a trustworthy company.
I’ve met some incredible people who have played a bit part of my life. I have left with some fantastic friends including the amazing tour guides ,Delaney Arthur and Gogi. The places we stayed were nice and there was a mix of hostels and hotels which was nice to have. I felt safe everywhere I went and knew If i had any problems the tour guides would deal with it straight away.
I will never forget this experience and I thank tru travels for an amazing trip. The tour guides were amazing. Delaney Arthur and Gogi deserve a lot of regonition and appreciation for everything they do. I’m so happy I picked tru travels and I will be booking with them again for another trip.

The only improvements I would suggest is that a few things on the itinerary werent included.

Full Moon Tour 2018

ONCE IN A LIFE TIME EXPERIENCE!!

Before I left for Thailand, I had major anxiety about the whole situation. If I was going to be safe? What sort of people I was going to meet? If I would like the food?
From the moment I arrived on tour I felt welcome and part of a family staight away. Delaney, Arthur and Gogi were a dream to be around throughout the whole tour. They were professional, punctual, organised, full of knowledge, and above all FUN. I felt safe at all times, the choice of food and accomadation where great and all arranged activities were spot on. The strangers I met on day 1 of tour, now feel like members of my family. I learnt so much in 2 weeks with Tru travel and I feel truly blessed. We enjoyed Tru Travels services so much that we booked another tour to Bali. Land of smiles... I’ll be back
