Program Reviews

I had never been abroad in life, I have only ever done family holidays in the UK. I suffered from really bad anxiety and I have also had a dream to go abroad and volunteer in Cambodia. I had to really prepare myself for this trip emotionally. I had communication with the manager of Tru experience Travel, Hannah. Hannah was really amazing from my first initial contact with the company. I had 1000000's of questions that Hannah would answer for me almost straight away no matter the time of day or night, the customer service before I had even booked the trip was incredible, I had a really good feeling about this company, they weren't just trying to sell me an experience but they wanted to make sure it would be the right one for me and my anxieties. After booking my trip the communication with Hannah remained as strong as it was at the very beginning, she got me mentally prepared for the trip as she had been there herself and knew exactly what may be a culture shock to me. I have since returned and had the most incredible experience of my life. I am still in touch with the Tru team at time and plan to head back to Cambodia this summer. Not only did the team give me the experience of a life time, they were catered to my needs and wants it is very person centred and they do everything they can to enable you have a comfortable and great experience with them and the communities. I don't feel I was that shocked when I got to Cambodia as the Tru team had already prepared me and I kind of then had an idea in my mind as to what I should expect. My experience on a whole has been the best experience of my life hence why I am going back this summer ahhaha. If you have a fear or some kind of anxiety I am certain one of these trips will help you over come it.

If you want to travel the world with a difference. This is the way to do it. Thanks to all the staff who made my experience so incredible. From start to finish. I took part in the India Tour which gave us such a huge insite to the real india. Tru experience travel really wen all out for this one, and every single thing was touched. Thank you again for all of your efforts in making this such a unique and incredible trip. I see why it is called incredible india

I cannot thank the Tru Team enough for my amazing experience in Nepal. I had just 1 month in Nepal, and now I am volunteering and travelling across Asia with Tru Experience Travel. This trip has really changed my life and I am in absolute ore with the world. If you want to travel the world in a different kind of way I totally reccomed Tru experience to anybody. Not only do you get an amazing experience the prices arent bad either. Hhahaha .

I have been traveling since I left university and have signed up to verisious different organisations volunteering programs, I strongly recommend tru experience travel they are great value for money as most there projects are cheaper than other gap year organisations. I was always looked after if I needed anything I always had someone to ask and it would be sorted within mins. The projects i volunteered in was hands down the bestttt experiences i have had since traveling from the project to the co ordinaters to the food to the accommodation was superberb.

Hear hear animal lovers. I took part on a wildlife conservation in Thailand, China and Australia with Tru Experience, I have never been away on my own let alone to do something that i am so passionate about, welfare of animals. I heard some roumours about elephant sanctuaries in Thailand and I was so skeptical about participating on this, now I cant speak for all elephant sanctuary's but the one tru experience travel work with are absolutely wonderful, I helped the team with looking after rescued tourism elephants some now being disabled because of the way they have been treated. To be apart of the team for 3 weeks was absolutely rewarding in every-way possible. There were many tears but also lots of fun achievements and new friends. I soon headed to China to see the Giant panda, I spent a week here and my goodness what an absolute experience although volunteers and tourists are no longer allowed to touch the pandas it was a wonderful experience to be able to help the staff in caring and feeding the pandas, I definatley need to re visit China. last but not least Australia, I have volunteered on a wild life reserve for 2 weeks , working with locals with injured kangaroos, kawalas to be so hands on and involved was incredible. If ever I could take time out of the robot life I would love the opportunity to experience more countries and animal welfare projects with Tru experience travel. Big thank you to Hannah who helped me with organizing my trip.

Where can I start, I have no idea. I have already thanked tru experience travel personally, but I will thank you guys again for making my booking with you and time in OZ such a memory, I was only meant to be in Australia for 3 months and 8 months later i am still here with no intentions of leaving anytime soon.

My experience has clearly been incredible and the tru experience team are always a phone call or email away. This is by far the most incredible experience of my life and i have all the guys at tru experience travel to thank for that. If you are thinking about work and travel in OZ then I highly recommend this team, they dont just book you on the trip and leave you to it, they are always at the end of any technical device for any reassurance and advice.

Cheers guys come see us in Oz. :)

I would recommend Tru Experience Travel to anyone.
Had the best experience and every one was so accommodating and helpful.
I traveled solo and never felt alone because I met so many amazing people.
It was great to be able to see how other cultures live and experience wildlife that I would never have seen back home.
I am definitely going to be using TRU Experience Travel again. Couldn't recommend enough.

Where on earth do I start. I want to Thank all the Team at Tru experience travel for making my travel abroad dreams become a reality. I had the most amamzing experience of my life to date. Spending time volunteering in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos finishing my incredible 4 months abroad with a road trip and island hop across thailand. I have met so many amazing people and friends for life both locally and around the world. I could never have planned such an experience without the help of the Tru experience travel team. Thank you for everythingggg. I will be heading back for you to plan my next adventure in 2018

Tru Experience are everything they say they are, I can not believe I got every thing I expected and even more from such a trip. I was so nervous about booking the trip as I had not heard of Tru Experience Travel before. But they were absolutely amazing from the start to finish of my trip.
I will certainly be booking many more of my cultural trips with Tru Experience, Everything was so overwhelmingly incredible, If you wish to travel and volunteer abroad I highly recommend this organisation.

hey there,
I joined a volunteer program in Fiji. For 3 weeks I was working in a kindergarten/primary school and it was one of the best things I've ever done!
It all started with the great staff and all the other volunteers and continued with a lovely home in a share house and of course the super cute students. Teaching was heaps fun and I learned a lot about the Fijian culture, traditions and way of life. It was an amazing feeling to make the kids happy with such small things like bringing new pencils, they give you so much love and happiness its unbelievable. I also really enjoyed being part of a massive international volunteer family. We made weekend trips together and learned to cook traditional Fijian meals, we spent every free minute together. And all that from day 1.
So if you're still not sure about becoming a volunteer (wherever you wanna go), it's definitely worth every Cent, you gonna make so many unforgettable experiences and meet people from all over the world! Tru Experience Travel helped me with all my questions and the application, what made everything way easier.
Thank you!
