Amazing tour

Had the BEST time in South Africa! Very different to any other intro tour I’ve done - in the very best way. Wholesome vibes, lifelong memories and experiences. Liezel was amazing, looked after us and loved that she joined in the fun with us. Felt very safe being with a South African.

The safari was absolutely incredible and a once in a lifetime experience. Loved Hlane National Park and the lodge we stayed in, wish we were there for longer.

Food had been amazing, loved everything and everywhere we ate.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Safari 1000%
Pros
  • Safari
  • Safari lodge in Hlane
  • Cape Town
Cons
  • Long travel days - bus heavy but worth it
  • Not long enough - 14 days please

South Africa tour

It was lovely! The tour guide was awesome and very helpful at times of need. Liezl helped me through all complications and made sure I had a nice holiday. The trip is very good if you want to see a bunch of south africa in a short amount of time. If youre traveling alone I would highly recommend this tour. I don’t think you’d be as safe without it and everything will be booked for you! Also for those interested, you can book a room for yourself if you want to have a calm evening by yourself. Overall had a great time

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?

Pros
  • Good tour guide

Liezl, wow, what an amazing 2 weeks Thank you for being such a fantastic guide - full of energy, laughs and endless patience. You made every moment unforgettable-even the early mornings.

I've learned so much, seen so many beautiful places and laughed loads thanks to you. Th safest was the absolute highlight. Can’t believe we saw the Big 5 and more. Also loved the African dancing and the food was amazing. Definitely the best 2 weeks of me life.

South Africa 25

Had an incredible experience with Liezl on this tour, would highly recommend, every day included moments of a lifetime from climbing Table Mountain at sunrise to seeing the big five on safari, it has truly been incredible. We covered a huge amount in 12 days but it didn't feel rushed and at every point Liezl accommodated our needs and always went the extra mile for us, including booking us a wine tour on our final day. Anyone thinking about South Africa should book this tour, it wont disappointment

Response from Intro Travel

Incredible tour guide - made the trip!

We went on a group tour of South Africa. Liezl was an unbelievable host and guide throughout - nothing was too much trouble, she was exceptionally caring and kind to the whole group and made sure every individual got to have the experiences they wanted. Liezl was full of interesting and useful historical and cultural information and the experiences were really well-planned. I most enjoyed the game drives, cultural experiences and the climb up Table Mountain. We would love to have her as our guide everywhere! A sensational tour.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had the most incredible experience travelling with Intro Travel in Africa! From start to finish, everything was so well-organised and thoughtfully planned — it was the perfect balance of adventure, culture, and relaxation.

Our tour guide, Liezl, was absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt included, comfortable, and safe throughout the trip. Her local knowledge, warm personality, and genuine care for the group made the experience even more special.

I always felt completely safe and supported, even in places that were new and unfamiliar. The accommodation, activities, and transport were all top quality, and it was clear how much effort went into creating an authentic and fun itinerary.

I left Africa with lifelong memories, great friends, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and culture of each place we visited. I can’t recommend this trip enough — it was truly unforgettable!

Filipijnen tour 17 dagen

I really enjoyed the group tour with fantastic guides and fellow travelers. It was amazing to see beautiful places. I was quite nervous about going because I don't like boats. But the guides were very helpful when I felt nervous. I'm very grateful for that. Despite my fear, I had a wonderful time and I recommend it to everyone. I personally took the 17-day tour. You visit plenty of beautiful spots where you can swim with turtles, fish, and coral. You also do super fun activities, such as canyoning, a boat expedition, karaoke nights, and much more!

What was your funniest moment?
There was a nice young man working on our boat, and we kept calling out his name. After two days, we discovered that wasn't his name at all. That's actually our cook's name, and of course, we were laughed at.
Pros
  • Fun
  • Safety
  • Good food

17-Day - Philippines - Island Explorer - September 2025

This trip was truly one of the most beautiful, exciting, and fun experiences of my life. I can now officially say that the Philippines is my favorite destination I’ve ever visited—and so much of that is thanks to the incredible leaders and seamless organisation of the Intro Team for this trip.

Throughout the journey, I felt safe, well cared for, and constantly engaged in fun and meaningful experiences. I especially want to thank our leaders—Jeremy, Penn, Sishi, and Dan—whose energy, professionalism, and enthusiasm created the perfect balance for an unforgettable adventure. They ensured we were always enjoying ourselves, learning about the culture, and in the best of hands. I will certainly be booking in for another intro trip in the future!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I’ve always been terrified of heights, so the thought of canyoneering—especially the big jumps—was honestly overwhelming at first. But with the encouragement and support of the group and our leaders, I faced my fear and not only completed the experience, but also accomplished the highest jump out of everyone in my group. It was one of the most empowering moments of my life.
Pros
  • Amazing Snorkeling Spots
  • Canyonerring
  • Coron-El Nido Boat Trip
Response from Intro Travel

Thank you for such a wonderful review, Meabh. We’re so happy to hear your Philippines adventure was one of your favourite travel experiences and that our team made you feel so supported and inspired along the way. Jeremy, Penn, Sishi, and Dan will be thrilled to know their energy and care helped make it so special. We’d love to have you join us again for another INTRO trip soon!

Kind regards,

Epic Indonesia 15 Days - Intro Travel

This trip was so amazing. Experienced so many cultural traditions and was able to participate in cultural activities. Alongside the cultural side, we had so many fun activities planned which made the trip stress free for me, especially as all breakfasts and some other meals were included. All accomodation was amazing and genuinely got better as the trip progressed. My trip leader Annie spared no expense and continued to deliver quality support to all of us! She truly enhanced the trip for us and I intend to do further trips with her!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just do it. You will not regret and if you’re a solo traveller like me, you won’t feel lonely. Safety is everything and there was never a time I felt unsafe or not supported.
Pros
  • Excellent trip leader
  • Cultural experience
  • Accomodation
Cons
  • Some early morning starts
  • Some long travel days
Response from Intro Travel

It’s wonderful to know the trip gave you such a rich mix of cultural traditions and fun activities, all while keeping things stress free 🌍 Having meals included and accommodations that just kept getting better makes such a difference, and we’re thrilled you felt so well looked after throughout.

Huge shoutout to Annie for her support and energy - she really does go above and beyond to make every trip special. We’re so glad she enhanced your experience and can’t wait to welcome you back on another adventure with her!

Best experience ever

Questa è stata la prima volta con IntroTravel e non sarà l'ultima.

L'esperienza dei 15 giorni è stata magnifica, incontrato stupende persone, tutte le strutture dove abbiamo dormito superavano le aspettative ed ho scoperto tante cose che mi porteranno a tornare in Indonesia il prima possibile.
Violetta è stata la migliore guida che potevamo augurarci di avere; una persona meravigliosa, sempre a disposizione e sempre col sorriso.

Non potevo volere di più, mai avuto una vacanza così bella.

Un'esperienza che ha superato le aspettative e che sono grato di aver fatto. Consigliatissimo!

In English:
This was my first time with IntroTravel, and it won't be my last.

The 15-day experience was magnificent. I met wonderful people, all the accommodations we stayed in exceeded my expectations, and I discovered so many things that will make me want to return to Indonesia as soon as possible.
Violetta was the best guide we could have hoped for; a wonderful person, always available and always smiling.

I couldn't have asked for more; I've never had such a wonderful vacation.

An experience that exceeded my expectations, and I'm grateful I had it. Highly recommended!
