IntroTravel Sri Lanka

I had the best time touring Sri Lanka with IntroTravel and our group leader Steph! It was nice and relaxing to have everything already planned. There was never a point in the tour where i felt unsafe, our group leader always made sure of that. Learning about the culture was amazing and seeing the beautiful sights of this country.

Would highly recommend this tour, although if you are into partying all the time then you may be disappointed. This country is different to the rest of the typical backpacker countries in SE Asia but it makes it more wholesome.

Made memories and friendships that will last a lifetime!

Intro Travel Sri Lanka

I have just finished the 12 Sri Lanka experience tour and this was my 6th tour with Intro. I came into this tour with expectations and it exceeded them by far. Steph our leader was amazing, especially considering I came on the tour with food poisoning, she helped me to get better really fast! The information before and during the tour was very good and detailed. The accommodation was also incredible and the activities were great, especially the sunrise safari (a core memory for life!). I’d highly recommend.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Bananas for a whole day to cure my salmonella poisoning!
Pros
  • Great accommodation
  • Sunrise elephant safari
  • Stunning food

Amazing Trip with Intro - and Meg!

Awesome 12 days exploring Sri Lanka. The trip covered everything we wanted to do, and I love that all the activities were included. Some of the highlights for me were; the cooking demonstration in the local village, the sunrise safari and seeing all the beautiful elephants, the surfing lesson in Weligama and the fun nights out!

Our leader, Meg, was so fun, friendly and knowledgeable. I couldn’t have imagined a better leader! She went out of her way to make sure we were having a great time, and she always had the best recommendations for us.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Surfing! All of the group was new to it and we all had a laugh and enjoyed ourselves anyway. Our amazing guide Meg, took millions of pictures and videos for us too! Legend!
Pros
  • New friends
  • Amazing tour leader
  • All the included activities

Sri Lanka 5 dec

Had a lovely time in Sri Lanka with the best guide, Meg. Got to experience the Sri Lankan culture, and got to see and do a lot of fun stuff. We really liked the travel route around in Sri Lanka. Our guide had control of everything and I could lean back and relax 🤩 I really loved the hikes and the surfing! The safari was also something extraordinary! We felt very safe with our buss driver. The bus’s driver and his colleague were always helpful and really friendly! This trip couldn’t be any better.

What was your funniest moment?
Almost dying by eating the “spicy” food in the local village

Meg Elliot

Meg was an amazing and knowledgeable tour leader. Her organisational skills were outstanding which took the stress completely away from me for the trip. The accommodation was all amazing and the food was incredible too. We got to visit places with people with local knowledge too which made it even better. The local were also super friendly and welcoming. I can’t rate this trip highly enough and I’m already planning my next trip with Intro as it just ran seamlessly even when the bus tyre burst….. replaced and on the road in ten minutes.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
We did a sunrise safari and saw baby elephants
Pros
  • We did loads and covered a lot in a short space of time
  • We also had plenty of down time to chill too
Response from Intro Travel

Hi Bethan!

Glad Meg could get you back on the road quickly, and back to enjoying amazing Sri Lanka.

We can't wait to see you again!

All the best,

Thailand 2024 intro

We completed the 18 day Thailand tour with our leader Izzy and a lovely group of people who have now become friends for life. I can’t recommend this tour enough- Izzy is so professional and just totally loved what she is doing for us which makes the experience 10/10 for us newbie travellers. The overall experience was just amazing and there is not one thing I would have like to have done differently.

This is definitely the best way to truly experience a country so if you are thinking about it- book on to an intro tour :)

What was your funniest moment?
Playing games on the floating bungalows - no service / no WiFi/ no phones so we resorted back to old school games. These were just hilarious.
Pros
  • Fun
  • Safe
  • Experiences
What other participants should know
  • Tiredness from all the fun

Intro Travel Sri Lanka

The most amazing experience ever! 1st time doing something like this and couldn't have wished for a better time, group and group leader -Megan was amazing! Such a good energy and sense of responsibility. Couldn't recommend this trip and group leader more! The itinerary was absolutely amazing, amazing stays, places visited and people! Lots of highlights, it's difficult to pick a favourite. Loves the tea plantation experience, all the walking/ hikes and the food 🤤🤤! It's definitely given me the confidence to do it again somewhere else 😊😊

What was your funniest moment?
Surf lesson! Was very nervous but managed to enjoy it despite not being the best at it. Felt very supported in a good environment.
Pros
  • Food
  • Good vibes
  • Lovely people
Response from Intro Travel

Nothing makes us happier than seeing people take the plunge for the 1st time, and discover something they want to keep on doing. We're really pleased that Meg could be there to make the adventure even better, and we hope to see you again!

Sri Lanka

I just finished the 12 day Sri Lanka trip with Meg as our guide. She was amazing and helpful from before we entered the country all the way to leaving. She always made sure our rooms were clean on arrival and accommodated our needs. Also aways gave recommendations for free time and advice! She was very professional and always up for whatever we were in the mood for (and a great instagram boyfriend). The weather was great throughout the trip with a couple days of rain. This country was so beautiful and the locals were lovely. Truly felt so welcomed on this trip and would recommend to anyone! By the end of the trip, we all felt like family. I am sad to be leaving, but for sure will be back

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would recommend extending the tour for more beach time. Or just booking more days for myself bc i am sad to go and felt like it was too short
Pros
  • elephant safari
  • train ride
  • mirissa
What other participants should know

Response from Intro Travel

Well don, Meg! We're so glad she could help make your experience of this amazing country even better 😀

1000/10

This trip was truly amazing. The company itself is very well organized, affordable, and has superb customer service. Then there’s my tour leader Stephanie. She always goes above and beyond with a positive attitude every day. All activities and food were amazing, but my tour leader just made each experience even more phenomenal. Even a rainy day held the brightest memories. I traveled with my husband and we would recommend couples as well on any intro tour. The biggest thank you to Intro!!!!!!!!!!!!

What was your funniest moment?
Watching a monkey forget her baby because she was distracted by a bag of chips

Really well organised

I really enjoyed this trip. This was a trip I was waiting for for 9 months and it was worth the wait! The communication regarding all the logistics of the trip was excellent and put me at ease before I came here. Furthermore, Steph was an amazing group leader and communicated everything in advance and in depth, which meant we knew exactly what to expect. I would certainly recommend this trip!

Also Sri Lanka was a country that was on the top of my bucket list for a while now, and it exceeded my expectations

What was your funniest moment?
The dancing!
Pros
  • Well organised
  • Knowledgeable group leader
  • Like minded travellers
