Intro Travel Reviews

My second time to South Africa with INTRO Travel! Shout out to Liezl, made the whole trip incredibly fun. Absolutely love this country

The itinerary is well balanced and the group we had was really fun, I love all the accommodations and the activities included, plus we got the chance to join a few additional game drives during the free time too

It’s good value for money and we felt safe and supported throughout

The wine, food and service was all good. Highly recommend this tour, and shoutout to Liezl!

I had the most amazing time exploring New Zealand’s South Island with Into Travel, and while the scenery and experiences were incredible, the absolute highlight of my trip was our tour guide, Sel.

From the very beginning, Sel made everyone feel so welcome. She was genuinely one of us rather than just our tour guide, and she created such a lovely, safe and inclusive environment where we could all connect and grow closer as a group. She struck the perfect balance between bringing us together and giving us our own time and space to enjoy the experience in our own way.

What made Sel so special was how genuinely she cared about each and every one of us. She took the time to get to know everyone individually, listened to our stories and made us feel seen and valued. It never felt like she was just doing a job; she was truly invested in making sure we all had the best possible experience.

One moment that really stood out to me was when someone in our group needed extra support. Sel went above and beyond to make sure she received the care and attention she needed. I think this is such an important quality in a tour guide, especially when travelling somewhere new. Knowing you have someone looking out for you, who genuinely cares not only about you having an amazing time but also about your safety and wellbeing, makes such a difference.

Sel brought so much more to this trip than just showing us around New Zealand. She helped create an environment where strangers became friends, memories were made, and everyone felt safe, supported and included.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Into Travel enough, particularly if you have the opportunity to travel with Sel. She is an absolute credit to the company, and the care she puts into her role is something truly special. I’ll look back on this trip with so many amazing memories, and Sel played a huge part in making it what it was.

Thank you, Sel, for making this trip so memorable! 💛

V was an outstanding group leader—informative, funny, and genuinely great to be around. She shared helpful local insight, kept the group organized, and made every day feel easy and enjoyable. Her humor brought everyone together, and her warm, positive energy made the trip memorable. I always felt comfortable asking questions and appreciated how attentive, patient, and thoughtful she was throughout the entire journey. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt included and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend traveling with V

I have just finished the 10 day South Korea Adventure with the wonderful V!
I experienced a really broad range of places and environments and the small changes and people we met, I felt, made a real difference and provided opportunity to understand more about this incredible country and people.

The trip is full on but was made comfortable and fun by all that intro have to offer, great accommodation, unique activities that you’d be unlikely to do solo but, most importantly, the seamless professionalism and organisation of our group leader V who made sure we all got every moment out of our trip - thank you so much V - you are a star ⭐️

This trip was such an amazing jam packed trip!! We did so much and it was so incredible!
It was super cool to experience different types of accommodations and all the culture. All the local tour guides were amazing! They were so knowledgeable. The cooking class was an amazing experience to learn how to make traditional foods.
I have to say a special mention to Violetta, she is honestly the best tour leader ever! She is there for your every need and has the best sense of honour! If I could have her for my every trip I would!
Special request for her on my Japan trip next year?

V was fantastic from day 1, full of energy and always there to help with any issues no matter how big or small. V had fantastic knowledge of the country and all the areas we travelled to, providing recommendations for sightseeing, food and activities all of which were fantastic 😊 V worked her magic with the group helping to make sure everyone was included and had a good time. All the planned activities were very enjoyable and the accommodation was always centrally placed to allow easy travel to all the local sights.

V was an incredible host and made sure that we all had the absolute best time! Yuna, our guide for the DMZ and the first day in Seoul was so informative, professional and lovely, we had a great time in all the locations throughout the trip and enjoyed every activity!
Taekwondo was brilliant, the instructors were very professional and fun.
The temple stay was a surprise, I expected to be a little bored because meditation isn't my thing but the monks were really sweet and made it really easy to enjoy
The food was all amazing
The locations all felt safe, I was walking alone as a solo female without feeling at all threatened or even really alert

I had already done 2 tours with intro so knew I liked meeting new people and having a set itinerary. The nz has one of the highest step counts and several hikes but still doable. Despite the club or bars being empty(on weekdays)Sel imbued us with a great 'bring the party' attitude that never failed to make for a fun night out. Sel was a great tour guide, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and literally held my hand on some long bridges I didn't like! (Some activities are a bit more touristy than they may seem, but still fun!)

We spent two weeks travelling around New Zealand, visiting both the North and South Islands, and had an amazing time. There was so much to see and do, from learning about the local culture to enjoying the scenery and trying new activities.

We started on the North Island, visiting Rotorua, where we experienced the geothermal activity, including bubbling mud pools and geysers. We also enjoyed a traditional Māori Hāngī feast and cultural performance, which was a great opportunity to learn more about Māori traditions. Another highlight was visiting Hobbiton in Matamata, which is well worth a visit, even if you’re not a huge Lord of the Rings fan.

We then travelled to the South Island and stayed in Queenstown, one of our favourite places on the trip. There was plenty to do, from jet boating on the Shotover River to taking the gondola and enjoying the views. Queenstown also has a great choice of restaurants, shops and activities.

One of the highlights of the whole holiday was our day trip to Milford Sound. The drive was long, but the scenery along the way made it worthwhile. We took a boat cruise through the fjord, where we saw waterfalls, mountains and seals. It was a fantastic experience and definitely one of the places we’d recommend visiting.

A special mention must go to our tour guide, Sel, who really helped make the trip so enjoyable. Sel was friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to help, sharing interesting information along the way and making sure everyone felt comfortable. Having such a great guide made travelling around the country even more enjoyable and added so much to the overall experience.

The locals were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we appreciated the importance placed on protecting New Zealand’s beautiful environment.

Overall, New Zealand is a fantastic destination with a great mix of culture, adventure and scenery. I thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would happily return to explore more. I’d definitely recommend visiting New Zealand, and having a guide like Sel makes the experience even better!

I have never been travelling before nor gone abroad very much but this was actually life changing and now I am fully hooked. Our tour guide Sel was so knowledgable and fun, encouraging us to try everything we could and make the most of our time. She was also very supportive throughout and super organised which I particularly appreciated! New Zealand is so beautiful and better than anything I could have imagined. We were also very lucky to have a fantastic group as a whole, definitely made life long friends who I will continue to stay in contact with.
