Vietnam 17 day explorer

The last 17 days I’ve spent in Vietnam have been some of the best days of my life. I cannot emphasise enough how incredible this country is - the food, the activities, the culture, the scenery, has blown me away. The itinerary is perfect and is filled with so many once in a lifetime experiences which I’ll remember forever. Not only that, but I’ve made a friend for life out of our tour guide Pinky who had a vast knowledge of Vietnam’s history and culture and could answer every question we threw at her. Not only that but she had a wild sense of humour and never failed to have us all in stitches. It was an emotional farewell today but I already know I’ll be back again to visit not only to see more of Vietnam but to see Pinky again! Thank you so much for this experience

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I’d make it longer, I loved it so much and I could stay for another few weeks

I had the most amazing time on this tour! Elias and Dean were amazing, so fun and helpful, they couldn’t have done any more for us. They gave us so much information on each place we visited and answered all our questions. The activities were all well planned and really good fun, with the snorkelling trip on Gili T and surf-day being my favourites. All transport was very organised, in addition the accommodation was all in really nice hotels with pools making this tour really good value for money.Elias and Dean were also always up for a night out too, they took us to some great bars and ensured we all had an amazing time, I couldn’t recommend them more, will definitely be booking another tour with TruTravels soon. Thank you so much for a fab time!!

16 day full moon island hopper

Fantastic tour, great value for money, Arthur is a great tour group leader, made sure everyone was involved and knew what we were doing. Meals and accommodation included in the price were always to a high standard considering the type of trip you’re on. Very organised from start to finish. Staff were all amazing. Activities were a lot of fun with plenty of culture and sights thrown in as well. To do the same trip on your own would cost a lot more for sure. Group were a good mix of nationalities and ages but everyone was welcoming and got on well. From start to finish Arthur was there to answer questions, give local advice on travel options after the tour had finished and was often the last one in bed making sure that everyone had got back ok. Arthur is a absolute legend.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Be careful on the slip and fly as landing on your neck kinda ruins your day!

Anyone looking to go to the Full Moon Party needs to do this tour!

Starting out in Bangkok is a good place to meet the tour group and get to know the guides. After Bangkok we got the overnight train to the national park which was absolutely stunning! Then onto Koh Phangan which is where the real fun starts! We headed to some beach bungalows on the first night then there is there a boat party which was awesome! I had the best time doing the Full Moon Party tour in Thailand! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to go to the Full Moon Party. We had the best tour guides, Arthur and Papsii who were very knowledgeable and organised. They take the hard work out of travelling around so you feel safe and can relax. Also, very fun to hang out with!! I loved every minute and loved our tour group too! I definitely made some life long friends on this tour!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would add an extra day and stay an extra night at Bottle Beach. It was so cool there!!

Good times, great parties, awesome guides

Had such a great time with Tru Travels. Our guides were so nice and they made sure that everyone got to do what they wanted to do. The program was really great as well! They sometimes take you to places you wouldn't have thought of to go to yourself and sometimes to places you simply have to go to, like the Full Moon Party, which was extra cool since we had access to the V.I.P room, giving you a great view over the entire crowd! What I liked most about the tour were Khao Sok, a very clear lake where we stayed in floating bungalows and got drunk, and Phi Phi island where we took an amazing boattrip to really enjoy the beaty of the island.
The tour is also a great way to make new friends. The guides makes sure to offer plenty of group activities you can part of.
Finally I want to give a special shout-out to Athur, our main tourguide who managed to deal with our crazy group for 16 days! I'll miss your shoulder massages bro!

Best tour ever

I had the best experience of my life doing this tour all thanks to our

The start of the tour was in bangkok it was amazing and a great place to meet our tour group. Arthur and papsii made this very easy by making sure everyone was included and also marking sure everyone was safe .

After a few destinations later we made it to the full moon party which was a night I'll never forget I had heard alot of dangerous things about full moon party but I felt completely safe in Arthur's hands as he made instructions clear on what to do if anyone was to get into trouble .

I had the best experience of my life doing this tour all thanks to our amazing tour guides Arthur and Papsii . They are very knowledgeable and organized and most of all know how to show everyone how to have a good time ! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone 10 out of 10 !

What was your funniest moment?
Being absolutely wasted at 8 in the morning the morning after full moon party with all new friends I made on tour

14 Day Thailand Island Hopper

Just finished the 14 Day Thailand Island Hopper. Our tour guides, Mickey, Arthur and Pop were amazing!!! They were both such welcoming and friendly people who made sure everyone was included during the tour. I am so impressed with TruTravels! They had such great activities planned for the different islands. I'm happy with the islands that we went to.

TruTravels did such a good job planning considering how many days we got on each island. The islands that we went to were absolutely gorgeous. Another thing that was great was that all the accommodations and transportation was set up for you. We didn't have any problems with that! I had the time of my life and definitely won't forget my experience with TruTravels and my tour guides. Highly recommend!!!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Pack light if you are backpacking it!!! There is quite a bit of walking so this will make it easier!

Best Tour Ever!

Just finished the 14-Day Thailand Island Hopper and can easily say it was the best 14 days of my life! TruTravels did a great job of fitting multiple islands and different stops into a short amount of time. Activities were all a blast and I enjoyed every second! We did so many fun things, such as hiking, boat tours, beach days, pub crawls, and so much more. Such a great way to see such a beautiful country. Every day was incredible! Accommodations exceeded expectations, were all clean and comfortable. Quick little shoutout to the BEST tour guides Mickey, Arthur, and Pop!! You guys were actually amazing and you were what made the tour so much fun!! They were always willing to help us out and provided a lot of information and facts about the country. They were incredible! Can’t wait to come back one day ☺️❤️ Thanks TruTravels you’re the best!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Make the most of every moment!! It was a blast. Don’t forget to take lots of photos but enjoy the moment as well :)

THE MOST FANTASTIC TOUR!

Let me begin by saying that my friend and I usually hate tours. No joke - we are not kidding. However, we booked this late so decided to choose TruTravels - and we are so glad that we did!

From the very start, Arthur (our tour guide/best person ever) made us feel so welcome and safe in the beautiful land of Thai! It was his enthusiasm, caring personality and his passion for his job that made our trip utterly unforgettable and fulfilling experience.

We visited many beautiful parts of Thailand, from floating bungalows on Koh Suk to taking photographs with monkies on photo beach. Arthur made us all feel like a family and was excellent in bonding the group and including everyone.

The great thing about this tour is that there is no pressure or obligations to do something. Arthur made us feel so comfortable and the trip was so so so much fun.

We cannot recommend this tour enough!

Thanks Arthur xxx

What would you improve about this program?
To stay in more bungalows and to include more food!
