Program Reviews

Amazing from start to finish. So many local cultural experiences with a random bunch of great people. The tour leader Michelle was great at integrating the group, provided great knowledge, shown us great spots to explore in down time and also made sure everyone felt involved. Couldn’t recommend this trip more, if you want to experience samurai classes, sushi making and a little bit of everything get it booked!!

I had the most amazing time on this tour absolutely loved everything but particularly the boat trip from coron to el nido but also having Sam as group leader made a massive difference he was so welcoming, kind and created such a nice environment which made it super easy for everyone to get to know eachother especially when travelling solo. He dealt with some very difficult situations (cancelled flights) which he handled absolutely incredibly and made everyone feel at ease even when things didn’t go to plan, I can’t praise the support and help we got from him enough thankyou so much Sam 😊😊

I have just finished the Philippines Island Explorer trip with INTRO Travel and I absolutely loved it! The Philippines is such a beautiful country and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The waters and the beaches here are unbelievable.

My favourite activities on this trip has to be the sardine run, there were so many 😳 also the 3 day boat trip was really special, I enjoyed the togetherness of the islands in the evening sat around the campfire playing games. The group leader was amazing and really made this trip that extra bit better so I can’t thank him enough!

Just finished the 13 day Philippines trip and wanted to share how amazing the experience was! The sights, activities and experiences were all incredible and I’m so lucky to have made such incredible memories with an awesome group of people. The canyoneering was a definite highlight.

Without a doubt the trip was made by our group leader, Sam Smith. If you’re a fan of dad jokes and pop culture references, you’re in for a treat. Even if you’re not, Sam’s energy, enthusiasm, positivity and knowledge of the different areas is second to none. He struck the perfect balance between being our responsible group leader and being a much-loved part of the group. Thank you, Sam!

The whole experience was incredible. Favourite parts were the elephant safari and learning local cultures.
Our group leader, Eliza made the trip unforgettable from the moment we all arrived. I travelled solo but did not feel solo at any point during the trip.
I would highly recommend Intro, Eliza and the Sri Lanka experience.
Tip: bring loads of insect repellent, the mosquitos were everywhere. A lot of the accommodation had room repellent but would recommend plenty for when out and about.
In summary, if you are thinking of booking, I say DO IT! You will not regret it!

I would definitely recommend this trip! Sri Lanka is such a beautiful country and the trip has been designed very well to make sure we were able to visit all of the must see places and really get the most out of the trip. Our leader Eliza also made our trip. She made sure we had everything we needed from arrival information all the way to help with onward travel. She really made sure we had the most amazing experience and always went above and beyond for us. She was so knowledgeable about the country and we were so lucky to have met her and had her as our leader!

I absolutely loved this trip! The tour leader really takes care of u. They have all the flights and ferries handled for you and so many wonderful included activities. After this trip you will really love everything about the Philippines and my highlight was definitely the 3day boat trip. The islands, the ocean, the beaches, the food just everything was amazing. The Philippines is really a beautiful place that I recommend visiting and specially with Intro Travel. But overall my tour leader Sam Smith definitely made the trip 10/10🫶🏻

Just finished the tour with Sam as my group leader and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Everything from meals to accommodation to activities is sorted for you and you’re so well taken care of. The activities themselves are great fun and so varied from boat trips, canyoneering and some cultural visits to churches etc. The 3 day boat trip is a definite highlight. Sam as a group leader was incredible. He couldn’t do enough for you and had so much knowledge about the Philippines and ways we could make our trip better beyond the tour as well including local restaurants, gyms and activities. Cannot fault the experience in any way.

I’ve just finished the amazing 13 day Intro tour around the absolutely beautiful Philippines.
What an insane experience it was!
I can’t recommend this company and tour enough, we covered so many different locations.
What is unique about this company is that there are so so many unbelievably fun activities which are all included, with no extra fees along the way. With lovely accommodation and food too.
We were also all looked after so well by our super fun and friendly tour leader Sam Smith. ☀️ 🇵🇭

The trip was well organised, fun and full of activities. It was paired with enough time if you want to chill and do your own thing.
Our guide,Vitor, was marvellous and full of energy. We had viewed cherry blossoms, snow monkeys, had sushi making class, soba noodle making, origami class and the best samurai activity/trainings. Travelling within places were organised smoothly, which was wonderful because we do not understand the local language. The food included by the trip was generous, specifically when we had all you can eat BBQ.
