I just finished the Japan Adventure 13…

I just finished the Japan Adventure 13 days tour and I could not have been happier with my experience! Isabelle Sampson was our group leader & she was so helpful & knowledgeable. There was a good age range of people in our group but the majority was 20s and 30s with several solo travelers too! Izzy did a really great job of making sure everyone was happy and organizing dinners and extra activities when there was free time (for the people who wanted to). A lot of us liked having an extra meals & group activities because we got along really well so this made the experience really special. She had such good energy and it was contagious. I even put another deposit down & plan on booking another intro tour with her. Thank you intro & Izzy for a wonderful vacation!

I had such an awful experience with…

I had such an awful experience with intro. I did the east coast tour from brisbane and I was reassured many times sure over the phone from intro (prior to booking) that no1 would know each other. However this was a lie. I was joining the tour group mid way from Brisbane and everyone else had joined from Sydney. I was isolated from the group, nobody would speak to me despite making an effort numerous times.

From looking at the reviews someone also had a similar experience.

There was many other things that happened in tour too- avoid this travel company!

Hi Bally,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience on the East Coast tour wasn’t what you had hoped for.

We did attempt to follow up with you after the tour and your first review to better understand your concerns, but unfortunately we weren’t able to connect at that time. That said, your feedback is still important to us.

As discussed with you during the trip by both your Group Leader and a manager, we’re genuinely sorry that you didn’t feel part of the group, and efforts were made on tour to support you and help improve the situation at the time.

Regarding the group makeup, this itinerary does join up with another tour starting in Sydney, which our reservations team are aware of. However we appreciate your feedback that this wasn’t as clear as it could have been prior to booking, and we’ll be reviewing how we communicate this more clearly going forward.

Group dynamics can vary from trip to trip and are not always within our control, but we do take concerns raised on tour seriously and work to address them where possible.

If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact us at experience@introtravel.com and we’d be happy to arrange a call.

Kind regards,
INTRO Travel Team

13-day Philippines island traveller

I just returned from the 13-day Philippines Island Explorer tour with Intro Travel, and I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough! From breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable adventures to genuine cultural experiences and camaraderie, this trip was everything I hoped for and more.

Our group of 18 travellers instantly became a family and so much of that was thanks to our leader, Elay. Elay was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Full of knowledge about the Philippines: its culture, geography, history, and hidden gems - she shared insights and context that took every experience to another level. Whether we were exploring waterfalls, snorkelling crystal-clear waters, sailing between islands, or simply chilling on a pristine beach, Elay was there with expert advice, helpful tips, and infectious energy. She struck the perfect balance between leader and friend, fun, relaxed, down-to-earth, and always ready with support, encouragement, and a smile. Elay genuinely elevated the whole tour and made every one of us feel included, excited, and safe.

Highlights for us included awe-inspiring canyoneering at Kawasan Falls, snorkelling with the sardine run in Moalboal, the multi-day boat expedition from Coron to El Nido, and the rich cultural moments woven through the itinerary like stopping at a local school.

What made this experience special beyond the stunning scenery was the people. Elay nurtured an amazing group spirit that meant laughter, connection, shared memories, and new friendships!

Thank you, Elay, a trip I’ll treasure forever! ✨

Hey Sophie,

Thank you so much for such a beautiful review. We’re really glad the Philippines delivered everything you hoped for and that the group connection made it even more special. Elay will absolutely love reading this. She brings so much heart, knowledge, and warmth to her groups and it’s amazing to hear how supported and included everyone felt throughout the journey.

Those highlights sound incredible and we’re so happy this became a trip you’ll always treasure.

Kind Regards,

Thailand Experience

I did the Thailand Experience trip back in October, it was my first ever Intro tour and it surpassed all of my expectations!
We covered so much ground, travelled to so many stunning locations and had SO much fun. From temples to elephant sanctuaries, cooking classes to beach parties - we covered it all. This was my first solo trip and I was so lucky to have such a fun group and made some amazing friends. Highlights for me were the floating bungalows in Khao Sok, so beautiful and I felt our group really bonded in this location. We hung out together all day, kayaking, boat trips, monkey spotting and group games after dinner. Koh Phangan and Phi Phi Islands were also favourites, equally as stunning and so much fun.
We had a few local guides in different locations of the trip and they were all so lovely, funny, knowledgeable and easy to get along with. Shout out to Joy who was a dream!!
Now onto Tash... The BEST group leader. I don't know how she did it but her energy was 10/10 every single day! She gave us fun facts in all locations, threw herself into every activity, kept spirits high even on the days when we were tired... and really looked after me when I was poorly. She checked in on us in our rooms every time we moved to a new location, making sure we had everything we needed and I truly felt like she was one of the group, not just a leader. She answered ALL of our questions... We were relentless haha but she always did so with a smile on her face. The trip would not have been the same without her!!! Tash brought us all together, was so inclusive of everyone and made sure we all had the best time. You can tell she loves her job and helped to make this the trip of a lifetime for me. Tash is one of the reasons why I've already booked my next Intro trip!!

Thanks so much for sharing this. We love hearing when a first INTRO experience goes beyond expectations and turns into something so special. It sounds like the group connection, the variety of experiences, and those Khao Sok moments really made it memorable. Huge shout out to Joy and especially to Tash. Her energy and care truly shine and we’ll make sure she sees this.

So glad the trip meant so much to you.

Lachie the Legend

I have just completed the 17 day Japan trip and had an amazing time. The trip was extremely well organised with lots of supports provided for travelling before and after the tour. Enjoyable activities were well organised for every day, but travellers still had the freedom to make their own decisions if they had other plans. Each accommodation was high quality and the variety of types of stays was interesting to experience.

Lachie Fleming was a brilliant leader. He was continuously professions in his duties while simultaneously being an active, friendly and supportive member of the group. He went above and beyond to accommodate different needs around accommodation preferences, dietary restrictions and appealing to the personal interests of travellers. I am hugely thankful to him for his amazing work and could not recommend the service enough to other travellers.

12 Day Thai Intro - Great Memories

I just did the 12 Day Thai Intro trip and loved it. This was my 2nd time to Thailand and this one was way better than the first time. The itinerary was great, we visited Bangkok, Khao Sok NationalPark, Ko Phangan and ending in Phi Phi. The best part is that 99% of the activities we did were already included so there was no surprises. Our tour leader "TK" did a phenomenal job, she handled everything like a real pro. She has a bright future ahead of her in her field. I'm really happy I did this tour and will probably do another with Intro Travel.

Waste of time and money

Having spend £1749 for 2 weeks in the Philippines I was deeply disappointed by the service received from Intro.

Two typhoons hit areas in the Philippines on the first week of the tour disrupting the schedule meaning the group stayed longer in very low budget accommodation with all arranged activities cancelled. A weak effort was eventually made to arrange some activities, but they were not in keeping with an action activity trip that I had paid for. We would often be told in the first week that we had ANOTHER free day meaning we had to pay out of our own money to arrange activities to fill our day. Then when some of us had paid to do activities we would then be told an activity had been arranged for us that we couldn’t attend. And the arranged last minute activities were terrible. An example was a slow walking tour of an old fort. Safe to say we took the average age down by about 50. It took hours and was not in keeping at all.

It is clear Intro Travel only care about profits as no attempt was made to rearrange the schedule to avoid the typhoons. We were just sitting ducks. The whole first week was a complete waste of our annual leave and money.

Intro Travel eventually reached out to our group after pressure from our host and offered a £150 refund and 20% off a future trip. The group was very disappointed by this, but they refused to budge and even broke down the cost of the activities we missed which really didn’t cost much which made me wonder why the trip was so expensive in the first place. I asked for a full breakdown of the trip cost to justify the £1749, but it was refused. Safe to say I will not be using the 20% discount or using this company again.

I do a lot of group travel and this is the first company who has been a complete let down. Had they offered 20% off the trip we missed, it would have been more reasonable.

Before booking, please be cautious.

Hi Steffy,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that your experience in the Philippines was impacted so significantly and that this led to disappointment.

Typhoons Tino and Fung Wong formed part of a deadly weather event that affected large areas of the country. During this time, conditions were changing rapidly, with widespread flooding, damaged infrastructure, and transport links becoming unsafe or inaccessible. In these circumstances, our priority was, and always will be, the safety of our group members. This meant avoiding high risk areas and limiting travel where conditions could not be guaranteed to be safe, even when that resulted in difficult and frustrating changes to the itinerary.

We understand the frustration around cancelled activities and increased free time. While our team worked on the ground to arrange alternative options where possible, the reality of the situation meant that like for like activities were often not available or could not be delivered safely. Decisions were made in real time based on weather updates, guidance from local authorities, and transport reliability, which unfortunately meant plans sometimes changed at short notice.

We do want to be clear that profit was never prioritised over guest experience. Natural disasters are entirely outside the control of any tour operator, and there was no safe or realistic way to reroute the itinerary to fully avoid the typhoons without exposing the group to further risk.

Following the trip, a partial refund was given, as we genuinely empathise with everyone whose experience was disrupted by this severe weather event. We understand that the offer made did not meet your expectations, but it was provided in good faith and in line with our policies. We are really sorry that your groups experience was affected by the typhoon, but hope you can understand that we did everything we could given the extremely difficult circumstances.

Kind regards,
The INTRO Travel Team

Lauren The Legend !!! 🥞

Just finished the 17 day New Zealand tour with Lauren and couldn’t have asked for a better time! Everything was so organised and made solo travelling less stressful. Lauren was so knowledgeable about all things New Zealand, Aotearoa, and Māori culture. The views were stunning and all the activities organised by intro were well planned and worth doing. I was so grateful for the whole group and was really sad to leave everyone. The best time with the best people ❤️❤️

Japan 13 Day Adventure

What a time I had exploring this incredible country with Intro and our group leader extraordinaire Izzy!
I had the time of my life, the itinerary was jam packed with inclusions whilst feeling relaxed at the same time, the accommodation was great and the company even better.
Japan is truly the gift that keeps on giving and it’s impossible to decide on a highlight but the excitement of seeing Fuji in all her glory was pretty special.

Our group leader Izzy was fantastic; professional, abundant with energy, thoughtful and had a clear passion for travel and what she does. I cannot think of a single thing I would change. Intro are incredibly fortunate to have her working for them! Thank you Izzy and Japan, look forward to booking the next one!!
