Just finished the 18 day Thailand Tour, by far one for the most memorable experiences of my life, one that will not be forgotten. The activities and experiences were exceptional, saw all the different cultures and beauties of Thailand. This trip ran so smoothly and the spirit of the trip kept so high by our group leader. Tess was such an amazing group leader, so much support and help throughout the trip as well as onward travel help. Couldn’t recommend this trip and group leader more to anyone looking to get out there to Thailand 🫶🏻

Vietnam Experience

21-Dec-2022

Unbelievable trip to Vietnam in the Experience tour. So well organised, I literally switched off when I turned up to the hotel and let my tour guide take control. Met some amazing people and more importantly, I was lucky enough to have a tour leader, Oscar, who was Vietnamese. He was so helpful with everything… From arranging a solo room when I felt I needed it, to helping me with my data. Highly recommend Intro. I’ve already booked Sri Lanka in Feb!!

Had an amazing experience in Japan with our Intro guide, Elmer!! Japan is a beautiful place to visit with so many unique and wonderful experiences! The tour really highlighted all of the beauty and culture of the country and it was made so much better by Elmer! He was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable with each day’s activities and to my wonderment was able to bring us all over the country through the labyrinth of trains and other modes of transport with ease! It was obvious that he had a lot of experience navigating in high stress situations. Beyond knowledge, he was very attentive and kind to all the members of our group and even went out of his way to get a cake for someone’s birthday! I can honestly say that I don’t think I would have enjoyed myself half as much had we not had him with us! Hoping to be able to take another tour with him in the future!!

Viva Mexico

17-Jan-2023

Viva Mexico has been the perfect starting point for our travels around Central America. The whole experience was made super stress free with support from our leader Ethan who we genuinely felt we could come to with anything. This tour gives so much variety in exploring Mexico - you have both culture and fun! Also, places you get to visit with this tour are so unique and oftentimes off the beaten path ; it would be near impossible to organise this all ourselves. A couple of honorable mentions have to go out to the church in san juan chamula (one of the most surreal experiences in my life) and to bacalar which felt like the most incredible beach holiday possible. Everything on this tour, from the leader, guides and organisation to cooking breakfast with indigenous communities and learning so much about Mexico's culture and history - just amazing.
