Program Reviews

It was a jam packed holiday, there was always something to do even if it was just chilling by the pool, lake or sea. I saw so many beautiful and awe inspiring places. Be ready to try something new if you do this tour. The tour guides were such lovely people, always up for a laugh and always there to help you. Some of the journeys were a bit long but it's to be expected when traveling. Khao sok national park was my favourite place we visited. It has a huge lake you can swim in, which is the best thing on a hot day. You can go kayaking there. The view there is spectacular, there's no where else like it. I went for the 8 day package but I felt this was not enough, 14 days would have been better. I will definitely come back to Thailand and tour a different part.

Bee was amazing, couldn’t recommend her more. Always gave us little tips that we would have no idea about which proved really helpful! Also willing to take photos of anything and anybody! She was so cute and her English was very good, but it was also nice that she was Thai so she knew about the culture and could communicate well with people when we had problems

The northern tour is great value for money. Our tour guide Bee was very knowledgeable, kind and funny. We learnt a lot about the Thai culture during the first few days. The Jungle trek in Chiang Mai was the highlight of the trip. Having a local guide who didn't speak any English lead the way through the jungle was good in that we didn't know what was coming or how much further we had to go, which made the stunning waterfalls we stopped at surprising and more rewarding. Pai was great for chill time after and the best street food of any other place on the tour. Bee sorted everything for me when I chose to add on to another tour. Overall, great two weeks packed with activities and enough free time in the evenings to spend it how you want. Very glad I booked!

I could not have asked for a better experience!!

Our days were jam packed full of amazing adventures with amazing people. It is crazy to think 10 days ago I didn't know anyone on this tour (other than the two I came with) and within that time they have all become like family to me.

The tour guides were super welcoming and helpful. Their passion for their work shines through them and radiates a positive outlook on the whole group. The bars and restaurants that Justin and Fretchie took us to were great, we were always eating the best food and sipping on the strongest cocktails.

The Philippines is beautiful, the culture is beautiful and so are the people. I will definitely be back, thank you for having me. Until Next time, on the east side :) xxxx

Being my first extended overseas trip, I was skeptical coming into it but our guides Justin and Fretchie were amazing - so knowledgeable and helpful, friendly and bubbly!! Accommodation was fantastic but the highlights were of course all the amazing activities TruTravels had lined up for us!! My favorites were the Zip lining and the Port Barton Island Hopping. We saw the most amazing sea life including a turtle which was beautiful. Our tour guides had planned out all of our dinner destinations and none of them disappointed... and I’m a big foodie so that’s saying something!I'll definitely be back for more and could not recommend the Philippines West Tour more!! Thank you TruTravels for such an amazing trip and for memories that will last a life time!

I'm writing this review on my last evening in Thailand. The tour has been incredible and more than I expected. The range of activities provided was fab, especially the elephants (one of the reasons I did this tour). I loved staying at the hill tribe and seeing how self efficient they are, the grand canyon on my last day was such good fun, zip lining through the jungle was great giving some amazing views and banter with the guides. Also tried some different activities like the temples and bike riding which again had great views.
Our tour guide, Art, was great fun with lots of banter. He had lots of knowledge on the activities, and the areas we stayed. He went beyond the tour and took us on nights out which were a good laugh and experiencing the Thai nightlife. Couldn't fault Art as a tour guide, very friendly and fun.
Overall, had a fantastic time and would recommend it to backpackers who wish to experience different activities.

What an adventure!!!!
This has truly been an amazing experience and I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes an adventure.
There are a lot of activities to do but you also get a lot of free time, whether that be to top up your tan by the pool or to wonder round the town and do some shopping and try new foods.
The jungle trek up to the hill tribe was exhausting but totally worth it. It was one of my favourite experiences, so beautiful.
There were only 4 of us on the tour and with our tour guide Art it made 5. He was really welcoming, a lot of fun and I really couldn’t praise him enough!
I thought the tour was great value for money and I would definitely book with tru travels again. They made everything so easy and hassle free. 10/10.

Art was a fantastic tour guide and is a credit to the company. He is easy to get a long with and greeted us immediately with open arms. There was only the 5 of us including art himself and he made the tour just as fun as if there was more introducing myself to new culinary experiences every day that tingled my taste buds. Art also showed us the nightlife of Thailand and it was incredible. My highlights of the tour was the Grand Canyon water park which was incredible and also the thai cooking class. Art also sorted out a couple of problems with our room straight away as soon as we notified him. I also really enjoyed staying with the hill tribe for a night trying there food and seeing their way of life was a real eye opener. The hotels were excellent. The travel was made to be as comfortable as it could be. We also got to celebrate songkran which was a worldly experience and this was all made possible to our amazing guide and big bro Art seoyo I would recommend him again and again.

Where to begin?? Right from the get go my tour guide art suttisak was fantastic he constantly kept me up to date with what is happening and going to happen he also made it more enjoyable by treating me as a friend and not as a random stranger. The overall adventure was amazing I would definitely come back again and do the same activities as it was memorable. The activities were incredible to experience they were so organised and full of loads to do never a dull moment. Art suttisak was very friendly and funny he never hesitated to get involved and make some memories with the group he was always smiling like he was taking the trip for the first time as well. The best activity for me was the Grand Canyon water park so much to do and explore definitely worth the money you pay for the entire trip. Be back next year!

Had so much fun on the Bali 10 day tour with trutravels! For my first time travelling it was an amazing experience! The tour was very adventurous and mostly active with some passive moments for rest. Our guide Rianna was AMAZING, and extremely helpful throughout our whole trip! She made everyone feel included ,was extremely flexible and had much knowledge about the Indonesian culture where ever we went. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore Bali make new friends and have the time of their life! My favourite activity was the snorkeling, but wear sunscreen and some! Thank you for such an amazing time in Bali trutravels and I am looking forward to using your company again for future trips!
