The 18-30 something Jordan tour with Khader was absolutely amazing! Learning about Jordan’s history and visiting some of the most beautiful places in the country was an experience I’ll never forget. Khader was superb. He was an amazing guide. My group learned so much from him and he made the trip very entertaining. We were lucky to have been the first group to experience this tour in Jordan. Truly an incredible experience!
Everything was amazing and will do more g trips only complaints are about g adventures choice in some of the accommodation- I know the 18-39 is basic but the level of some of the accommodation is not justified in my opinion
Having been a previous customer for INTRO, I was so excited to be part of their first trip to the Philippines and it definitely did not disappoint. As always from start to finish, the Group Leaders were there to help with anything and everything and the trip itself was just mind blowing. THE BEST way to travel a country and since doing my first group tour with INTRO over 3 years ago now I will never travel any other way.
My favourite activities were the 3 day boat expedition from Coron to El Nido which was just incredible, the waterfalls in Siquijor and all of the snorkelling!
The accommodation was comfortable and better than I expected as it was on all other INTRO tours. Already looking forward the next trip.
Sure, Jordan’s got ancient wonders — but wait until you bike through them. This isn’t your average sightseeing tour. You’ll pedal past desert dunes like a Bedouin on wheels roll into the lost city of Petra like a legend and coast your way toward the salty shores of the Dead Sea for a well-earned float. From winding forest paths near Amman to wide-open roads in Wadi Rum every day is packed with epic views big climbs and even bigger payoffs. Toss in a few community meals and a 4x4 ride for good measure and you’ve got a cycling trip that hits different.
