Best Thailand experience ever

Honestly a trip that I will remember for the rest of my life. I fully recommend the Thai Intro trip if you want to visit Thailand and don’t know where to start (take the 18 days because it is so worth it)! If you’re lucky like me you might get Paula as your group leader & you wont have to worry about a thing. Paula is on top of her stuff and I am so thankful to her for giving me this amazing experience. Also massive shoutout to our local guide Tanya, who is so so amazing as well. This probably wont be my last Intro trip ;)

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I ate a scorpion & a lemon ant, but other than the creepy crawlers I had to most amazing Thai food ever!
Response from Intro Travel

Hi Nienke, thank you for the lovely review!

Paula and Tanya will be so pleased to see this. It sounds like they took care of the details while you got to focus on enjoying Thailand and everything the 18 days had to offer.

And that little “probably won’t be my last INTRO trip” at the end has us curious about where you’ll head next!

Kind Regards,

Amazing time in South Korea

I had an amazing experience on the 9-day South Korea tour. It was a great way to explore the country and get to know its culture, history, and people.
I really enjoyed all of the activities on the itinerary. My personal highlights were the Taekwondo class, which was such a fun and unique experience, the bike tour in Gyeongju, and the DMZ tour.

This was my second tour with Intro Travel, and once again I had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience South Korea in a fun and stress-free way.
Our group leader Meg was a big part of what made the trip so special. She was well organized, always helpful and made everyone feel welcome from day one. It was so much fun having her as our group leader throughout the trip.

What was your funniest moment?
The Taekwondo class because the instructors had a great sense of humor and made the whole experience so much fun.
Pros
  • Unique experiences
  • Good balance of guided activities and free time
  • Good variety of activities
What other participants should know
  • It was a lot of walking. We could have used more public transport.
Response from Intro Travel

Hello T. M., thank you for taking the time to share your South Korea experience.

Taekwondo, Gyeongju and the DMZ make for a pretty great introduction to Korea. We’re especially glad Meg helped make the trip feel welcoming and easy from the start.

We really appreciate you choosing INTRO for a second trip, and thank you for the thoughtful feedback on the itinerary. We’ll be sure to pass that on to the team.

Kind Regards,
The INTRO Travel Team

South Korea Adventures

It was a truly exciting and wonderful experience for me. Not only because of the new culture, but also because of all the people you get to know along the way. You meet these people for the first time, and before you know it, your group members become friends with whom you can share this adventure. To all the other participants: Just give it a try and enjoy it—it’s absolutly worth it. On top of that, our tour guide Meg was very dedicated and immediately made us feel like we belonged in the group.

What was your funniest moment?
The K-pop dance class and Taekwondo. Everyone had to step a little outside their comfort zone. And even though it wasn't easy, it was a lot of fun and there were some funny moments.
Pros
  • Meet new people
  • Learn about Korean history
  • Get to know a new culture
What other participants should know
  • We walk a lot; we could use public transportation more often
Response from Intro Travel

Hi Lorena, thank you for such a thoughtful review.

We love hearing that you arrived knowing nobody and left with friends to share the experience with. That feeling of belonging is such a big part of what we want INTRO trips to create.

Meg will be so happy to know she helped you feel comfortable from the very beginning. Thanks for giving it a try and for recommending us!

Kind Regards,
The INTRO Travel Team

Excellent trip!

This was my third trip with Intro Travel and it was amazing!

The tour has lots of fun and cultural activities. Every day was action-packed. Although, it was quite draining doing two single-night stays in a row, alongside the activities.

My favourite experiences on the trip were the temple stay and the Gyeongu bike ride, although those were the most tiring days, so it would’ve been nice to have a break in between.

Meg our leader was so lovely. She’s such a kind and funny individual, which makes her a wonderful group leader. She is so easy to talk to and has so many fun stories.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Doing the Kpop dance class was the scariest. I overcame it by just focusing on my groove
Pros
  • New experiences
  • Fun
  • Educational
What other participants should know
  • Tiring — full-on
Response from Intro Travel

Hello Kate, thank you for coming back to INTRO for a third trip!

We're so glad Meg was part of this one. Her kindness, humour and collection of stories clearly made a real impression on the group.

And thank you for the honest feedback on the pacing too. It's really helpful to hear which days felt particularly full, especially when they're also some of the highlights.

We hope trip number four isn't too far away!

Kind Regards,
The INTRO Travel Team

Thai Intro 12 days

I recently did the Thai Intro 12 day tour with IntroTravel and can honestly say it was one of the best trips I’ve ever done! From the people, to the experiences, the sights seen, the laughs had and everything in between it was an incredible experience. The tour was run so smoothly with all of our transport, tours, entrances into temples/ boat trips handled and communicated clearly, and was an absolute testament to Paula. We had quite a large group and Paula and Tanya handled it so well and were so informative to make sure all of us were comfortable and having so much fun, aswell as providing 10/10 dance moves and singing the whole way through Thailand! I’ve just got back to Aus and already miss everyone in the group and I can not wait to go again!!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
A Scorpion- glad I did it but I won’t be doing it again 😂
Pros
  • Amazing people
  • Incredible views and scenery
  • Informative and well run
Response from Intro Travel

Hey Shanae, thank you for such a brilliant review!

It sounds like they brought plenty of personality to a very full 12 days, while keeping everything organised for such a big group. Paula and Tanya will definitely get a laugh out of the dance moves and singing mention.

And already missing everyone back home? Sounds like Thailand gave you a pretty solid case of the post trip blues. We’ll be ready when you’re ready for round two!

Kind Regards,

Bali solo !

My tour guide was V and she really made the trip worth while. She was so informative, professional and cared truly about everyone on the trip.
The value for 9 days was great and the accommodation and activities were to a high standard
I was welcome at the Bali airport with ease and felt safe the entire time
There was plenty of time to do your own thing and made some great memories and friends on there to spend time with too.
I was nervous to go away on my own so far but the communication with the guides and others is so clear and frequent and everything was so well organised
Would 100% recommend!

Response from Intro Travel

Hello Shaunagh, thank you for sharing your experience.

It means a lot to hear that V helped you feel safe, informed and supported throughout the trip. We know travelling solo can feel daunting before you go, so we're especially glad those nerves were replaced by new friends, great memories and the freedom to enjoy Bali at your own pace.

V will be so pleased to read this. Thanks for recommending INTRO!

Kind Regards,

Incredible tour! I had the best time on the 12 day Vietnam trip, squeezed so much into a short trip. Great mix of active and chill days. The accom was lovely at all the stops and the overnight train was such a fun and unique experience! Taylor was awesome! So knowledgeable and helpful, felt like I was just travelling with a friend.
I loved the home stays and the language exchange in the Mekong delta. Such an amazing experience to teach children English and play games. I highly recommend this trip!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take every opportunity!
Pros
  • Language exchange
  • Home stays

12 Day Vietnam Intro Tour

I had the best time on the 12 day Vietnam Intro tour. I’ve traveled with similar companies before but loved that all the activities were included on this trip. The smaller group size made it easy to get to know everyone and we all gelled really well. The activities themselves were great and I would struggle to choose a favourite; from cruising Halong Bay to cooking yummy food, spinning in coconut boats and the hilarity of mud fishing. A special shout out to our group leader Taylor, not only did she make sure everything ran smoothly but she was endlessly kind, considerate and loads of fun.. she really made the trip special for all of us! I can’t wait to book my next intro tour!

Response from Intro Travel

We can't wait to welcome you back on your next INTRO adventure!
