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!

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

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

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

Sri Lanka- Intro Travel

I was really pleased with the whole trip to Sri Lanka with Intro travel. From before the trip, to getting home, Steph (our leader) was so helpful with absolutely everything. The leader and guides were all very knowledgeable about the country and culture, and happy to answer any questions. The activities were fun and well spaced throughout the trip, meaning it was very well paced. I enjoyed the variety of activities which included visiting temples, a sunrise safari to see lots of elephants and other animals and chilled beach days- as well as it’s more.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
On a sunrise safari, I saw so many elephants and got so close to them from our jeep.
Pros
  • Excellent leader
  • Nice accommodation
  • Fun activities
Cons
  • Lots of travel
Response from Intro Travel

Sri Lanka trip December

We had an amazing time during our Sri Lanka trip with Intro! It was a good mix between traveling with the group and your own free time to explore. Because we were together as friends, we also loved to go shopping or grab lunch with the two of us. We enjoyed the fun activity’s on the tour and the recommendations in our free time. There is a lot to see a do. The mix of culture, nature and activity’s was perfect for us. The whole journey was so relaxed and only good vibes, in the group but also with the locals.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don’t come over to prepared, just experience the tour and say yes to everything!
Pros
  • The sunrise safari
  • The stay in an eco retrait in Talalla for yoga
  • The hikes

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!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Give everything a go! Come out your comfort zone and have the best time.
Cons
  • Mosquitoes

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
Response from Intro Travel

6th tour?! We must be doing something right 😉
Thanks for being a valued member of the INTRO family, it means a lot to us!
Big love to Steph for looking after you, we're glad it didn't stop you having an amazing trip!
All the best,

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
