Program Reviews

My partner and I have just arrived home following the intro Philippines tour, with 18 others and Sam, our tour lead. I would change nothing about this tour and would recommend to any who is looking to see a slice of the Philippines.

Sam was amazing and relieved any stress we had following 24 hours of travelling almost immediately with his relaxed and welcoming manner. He remained kind and considerate throughout the tour, going above and beyond to ensure everyones needs were met! He had great knowledge of the local areas we visited, and it was evident he had build good relationships with local guides that join you throughout the tour, which just adds to the overall positive experience. Thank you so much Sam for an incredible trip, it was amazing!

The Philippines is an amazing country and with the tour you get to see some of the highlights from incredible beaches to beautiful waterfalls. The activities you get to do along the way are also great with highlights for me being the canyoneering, the sardine run and visiting some of the beautiful Catholic churches. Throughout it all my group leaders Kyle and Sophie were always there to help us out. From tackling transport issues to answering any and all questions along the way. They made the trip fun and relaxing.

I originally booked this tour in 2020 but due to COVID had to wait until 2023 to go, but it was absolutely worth the wait! It was a fantastic tour that has a nice mix of group activities and free time, the accommodations were all fabulous and I really felt I got the most out of my time in Japan without any stress. Our group leader Vitor was also a highlight of this trip, he was so friendly and helpful and was determined to make sure everyone had a great time. An absolutely amazing trip which I highly recommend!

Josh dell was a great guy and a great tour leader.

With a big group of over 20 people and a jam packed itinerary nothing was too much to ask.

he kept his cool throughout which had a knock on effect with the group to make an enjoyable atmosphere & experience.

Tour had a good mix of nightlife and culture and enjoyed the trip however would have liked some more free time to do as you liked on your own as felt burnt out at the end

Wish him well in the future and hope to meet him again 👍

The trip was absolutely beautiful! We did so many fun activities with the best group ever. The tour is the perfect balance of activities and relaxing and you get to do so many different, unique experiences. Loved every second of it. We also had an amazing group leader, Sam. He made sure everyone had the best trip possible and was so helpful with absolutely everything. He even helped us after the tour finished when we had problems with our flight! Would 100% recommend this tour to everyone! An extra thank you to Sam for making the trip even better!

This was my first trip with intro, and I had an amazing experience. I really couldn’t have asked for a better group leader than Sam. He was always there to help us if we had any questions and clearly wanted to give us the best trip possible. He’s been super helpful about my allergy, and always helped me find gluten-free options at the restaurants we were at, and made sure I always knew what I could eat and not.

I had some problems a couple of days after the trip ended, and desperately contacted Sam for help. He responded right away and made bookings for us to get to Puerto Princesa. Would’ve missed our flight without his help!

I am very happy with the trip in general and with Sam as our group leader. We did lots of awesome activities and it was truly two very memorable weeks! I will definitely do more trips with Intro Travel, and I would recommend everyone to do the same!

Had an amazing time travelling the Philippines with intro. This was my 4th tour with the company and would always highly recommend them. So well organised with great accommodation, fun trips and activities. Such a beautiful country to explore with its crystal clear waters, white sand and such friendly culture. A highlight for me was the 3 days sailing from Coron to El nido. Cruising along with the sun shining, jaw dropping views, and new friends surrounding you was something I will never forget.
A huge thanks to our leader Sam Smith for taking care of us throughout, treating us like family and being dependable throughout. A fountain of knowledge when it comes to travel, and someone i know I can call on for advice in the future. Thanks again to the number 1 intro leader ❤️

Highly recommend this tour - the phillipines is such a beautiful place and the tour definitely showed off its highlights. Had such an amazing 13 days with a fab group and massive thanks to our team leader Sam who made sure we were all having a great time whilst taking any stress away from us by organising everything from day trips to transport.
One main highlight would be swimming with turtles in Moalboal during the sardine run, the boat trip in Coron (an extra price but 100% worth it for the incredible views and clear blue waters) and the 3 day boat expedition, staying in huts on remote islands of the Phillipines. Loved every second.

Highly recommend the intro tour of Sri Lanka . I went for a 2 week holiday and had a great time with a lovely group of people. Our group leader Niall went above and beyond and made sure we all had a great time. The accommodation and itinerary far exceeded my expectations and I feel I saw the best of Sri Lanka. The itinerary was a great mix of culture, free time, fun, activities and lots of great food. I was a great break from work and I would recommend a group tour like this to anyone who wants to make the most out their annual leave or gap year. Thank you
