Unforgettable India Intro tour with Yoni! 🇮🇳

I have just returned from India - led by our incredible group leader Yoni and already wishing I could go back! The country’s culture, and diversity were beyond expectations, with highlights like the Taj Mahal, vibrant markets, and Tiger Safaris!

I’ve done a lot of Intro tours and with India being a newer one I expected a few hiccups along the way. But with Yoni ( and his partner in crime Vivek) as our group leader I had no need to worry!

Yoni went above and beyond in making sure every need was accounted for, constantly checking in with us and adapting the schedule to ensure we were all having the best possible experience. His positivity and dedication to making sure we all had an unforgettable time were noted! From advising on spice levels, to crossing the road, to what to wear and providing games on the coach… absolutely nothing was too much trouble.

The trip would not have been the same without them – creating a fantastic group dynamic and allowing me to explore the country in a safe and stress free way!

I highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Yoni and Vivek!

Cambodia intro

Tim was an exceptional leader throughout our trip in Cambodia. He ensured that every detail was taken care of, from smooth transportation to comfortable accommodations. His deep knowledge of the country, paired with his friendly and approachable nature, made the experience even more enjoyable. He always went the extra mile to make sure everyone was happy and safe. His leadership, knowledge, and enthusiasm added so much value to our journey. And if you ever find yourself in an earthquake, Tim is definitely the guy you want by your side! His calm, reassuring presence and quick thinking kept everyone safe and at ease. I can’t recommend him highly enough—an absolute legend of a guide!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Trying crickets outside of Angkor watt was a unique experience
Pros
  • Transport all organised
  • Itinerary planned but not mandatory
  • Free time
Cons
  • Hotel breakfasts
  • Short time at some spots
  • It came to an end

Great jam-packed introduction to Bali led by the fantastic Courtney!

Did the fantastic 12 day Bali Intro tour led by the amazing Courtney. The whole trip was incredible with my two main highlights being snorkelling with turtles and an unforgettable pub crawl. Loved the whole trip and was so lucky to have such a brilliant group leader in Courtney, who always made sure we were safe and having a great time! I could not recommend this trip more, and Intro in general. I did the Thailand Intro last year and it was equally as great. I’ll likely be doing the Philippines later this year too!

My Intro India Experience

My experience with Intro Travel to India has been nothing short of spectacular. To say it has exceeded my expectations would be nothing short of an understatement. Yoni was an excellent group leader and did well to keep the energy high and the group engaged whilst also able to respect us needing our own personal space and downtime. The highlight for me would have to be meeting so many wonderful people and making friends for life. If anyone is on the fence about going, I would urge you to take the leap as you won’t regret it, and cross your fingers you get Yoni and his glamorous assistant Vivek as your guides x

What was your funniest moment?
Countless moments to look back on but watching everyone cooking in the cooking demonstration could be a highlight of my trip.
Pros
  • Meeting amazing people
  • Experiencing new cultures

India, March 2025

India is an incredible country with so much culture, scenery, and great food. Yoni is an amazing group leader, accompanied by a local named Vivek. Both of them loved showing off India. They made the trip such a fun time! Both are filled with so much knowledge and want each person on the trip to have a great time. Yoni and Vivek together made this trip one the best experiences I’ve had traveling. Visiting the Taj Mahal was the highlight. Each places you visit has incredible restaurants, landmarks, and so much history.

Fantastic Holiday

The India Intro tour was great. Filled with great attractions and some even better restaurants for you foodies. Met some wonderful people, and the entire trip was held together by an excellent tour leader, Yoni along with his sidekick, Viveck. Wouldn't have been the same without them. The whole trip is well organised, and the bus driver and assistant were great. All the accommodation was clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend this trip to all types of people, whether you are solo travelling, a couple, or a group of friends.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The Taj Mahal was just breathtaking, underestimated how stunning it actually was.

9 Day Bali Intro

I just finished the tour and it was a blast. Well balanced itinerary, great locations and my leader Courtney was the best. Thanks again for everything and a shout out to Courtney for making this trip special and memorable 🤍 I especially enjoyed the home visit with the lovely Balinese family which is something very unique to this trip. Also the scuba diving in Gili T is not to be missed, it was one of the coolest things I have ever done! Value for money is also really good; you will not regret travelling with intro.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Snakefruit. So yummy
Pros
  • Lots of activities
  • Safe travel
  • Awesome leader
Cons
  • Nothing!
Response from Intro Travel

Thanks for travelling with us, we hope to see you again!

All the best,

Must do tour for solo travellers

My experience on the Bali intro 12 day tour was exactly what I wanted, from the write up of the day to-to-day interary excited me enough to spend my hard earned cash and jump onboard, little did I know exactly how great this tour would be.

From surfing, sunsets and beach clubs to learning Bahasa, temple tours and creating Canag Sari in Canggu to snorkeling the Gili meno statues, karaoke, bicycle riding and bar crawls in Gili T. Villa life, rice paddies, waterfalls and the incredible people of Lovina to the ultra chilled, bohemian and spiritual vibes of Ubud which included a once in a life time trek up Mount Batur and the cheeky monkeys of the city there's a variety of activities to get you living the island life of Bali.

My group and tour leader Courtney Harvey was 1010.
Courtney is so personable, chill and a top tier organised bestie - her service and enthusiasm for Bali, the tour and intro travel is second to non.

My group was a dynamic bunch of amazing people I will treasure and keep in touch with for a long time to come as well as Courtney. The group consisted of a mixed age range from 18-46 but, don't let that put you off you're surrounded by like minded people throughout and create amazing bonds within days.

I highly recommend intro travel and the tours they have to offer, it was bitter sweet to depart from the tour but it is not a goodbye it is a see you later ✨

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Go solo, you form a bond with everyone on the tour practically straight away. If you go in a group you might close yourself off from creating connections with everyone on the tour
Pros
  • Trying things I wouldn't have normally done
  • History, culture and local lifestyle
  • Variety of activities and places visited
Cons
  • Leaving the group
Response from Intro Travel

Bali Intro

Just completed the Bali 12-day intro and had an amazing time.

Courtney was our guide and she was lovely, fun, informative,e and always looked out for everyone making sure they were having a good time. I loved the whole trip but my favorites were surfing and the outdoor cinema on the beach experience!

I would definitely recommend this experience :)

Response from Intro Travel

Intro Travel Sri Lanka Experience

I had an absolutely amazing time on this trip. I recommend it both to people traveling together or solo. It’s such a great way to meet people and see the best sights.

Meg was our group leader and she was absolutely incredible. She made everyone feel included. She’s fun, outgoing, and knowledgeable and made our group have the best time possible. Not only did we get top-quality photos of beautiful viewpoints from Meg, but we also learned a bit about the history of certain landmarks - I was worried I’d get bored learning about them, but trust me when I say it was incredible and fun.

I would 100% recommend this trip. Trip of a lifetime.

What was your funniest moment?
Our group leader made a quiz for us to do one night. It was a brilliant night. Both general knowledge questions and questions about our trip.
We had such a laugh as well as continuing to get to know each other as a group.
Pros
  • Exploring amazing views
  • Had an inclusive leader and a great group
  • The amazing food and recommendations
Cons
  • Would have liked more free time as the first few days are quite busy
