During July 2019 I visited the Maldives as a solo traveler. The Island Hopper tour was perfect for my intent to experience the real flavor/culture/people of the country and not the artificial environment of resorts. I arrived and was met by Shaffaf who was the perfect guide/host to hotels, ferries, experiences across 5 islands. I love Maldive island life--even more so after the busy arrival city of Male. I especially love the FREEDOM to set my own itinerary on each island after local representatives warmly welcomed me at each island ferry and presented the options of their island. Diving, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, visiting the homes of locals, beach time and just sharing hours of lazy conversation with the locals was priceless. After returning to the USA, my heart is still in The Maldives!!

I went on the 12 day Thailand trip - absolutely amazing. Koh Phangan especially was so nice, and the temples in Bangkok and evening boat tour in Koh Phi Phi was amazing (especially seeing the bioluminescent plankton at night!). Michelle (my tour leader) was especially incredible, she made the trip so fun and was there for any worries I had. Big shout out to our local tour guide too, Nana, who was super funny and super interesting to learn about the local Thai culture. It was my first time doing a tour like this, and Ive already booked a second tour with intro next summer! All in all, incredible trip! Cannot recommend enough.
Its not often that I ever write a review for anything. Felt compelled to do so for this holiday! We were the 1st group to do this trip.....
This holiday was excellent on every level! Perfect combination of the sea, snorkelling 2-3 times every day in the azure sea, truly unbelievable that I managed to snorkel alongside a giant whale shark (about 6 metres long & 15 tons) within touching distance for about 15minutes!
A new trip that exceeded expectations. Early starts for birds and sunrises and fascinating insights ( and climbs!) into Mayan culture, finishing with Caribbean laid back vibe and a day swimming with nurse sharks and rays!
I went on the 18 day Thailand intro and had the trip of a lifetime! Everything from even before we arrived was very organised which led to a completely stress free trip. Our group leader Zoe was amazing, bringing such positive vibes from day 1, and provided complete support throughout the trip and for onward travel. Our local guide Aei-ki was fantastic and provided cultural knowledge as we went round. Would highly recommend Intro travel and this amazing country!
I just finished the 12 day intro trip in Thailand. It was the most incredible trip. I was originally booked onto 9 days but made some amazing friends and was having too much fun so had to extend. This is the best way to travel stress free, the organisation is great and the activities are so much fun. We had Ellie as our group leader and she was amazing. She was always keeping the vibes high and showing us her best dance moves. I would really recommend travelling with intro and will definately be using them again soon.
Immerse yourself in natural wonders and abundant wildlife unique to Borneo on this 10-day adventure. Journey through lush rainforests, navigate scenic rivers and explore the traditional villages of this beautiful region. Hang out with orangutans in Sepilok, cruise along the Kinabatangan River, unwind on the shores of Manukan Island and get a taste of vibrant city life in Kota Kinabalu. This restorative deep dive into nature will undoubtedly leave you wanting to return again and again.
I have completed the 12 day Bali intro and it was an amazing trip that I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of travelling. The group leader was great and made sure that everyone knew what was going to be happening, and what activities we would be doing each day, and was also very friendly and approachable with any questions throughout the trip. She also helped everyone with their onward travel after the trip finished.
During the trip we got to visit a local family that made us the most amazing lunch (easily the best food I ate whilst in Bali), which is something I just would not have been able to experience if travelling solo without the tour group.
We also had some free time on a few days, but during that time you can choose to go off and do some other activities that aren;t included too, so we all went scuba diving and had so much fun swimming alongside the tropical fish and the turtles.
The group of people that were on the trip were also brilliant and we all got along so well and enjoyed doing all the activities together, and had a lot of fun when staying at the villa in lovina, playing games in the infinity pool overlooking the gorgeous landscapes, and then relaxing with an Indonesian BBQ and some games by the campfire in the evening.
Overall I would highly recommend this trip to anyone, and can;t wait to get my next one booked! :)
Just wrapped up the most incredible 17-day tour through the Philippines, and it exceeded every expectation!
The itinerary was packed with unforgettable experiences — island hopping, snorkeling with turtles, cliff jumping, kayaking, and so much more. But what truly made the trip unforgettable was the people… and one person in particular:
Massive shout-out to Jay, our tour guide! 🙌
Jay was absolutely legendary — super friendly, organized, and always full of energy. He brought the whole group together like a family from day one, and his love for the Philippines was contagious. Whether it was teaching us local phrases, finding the best street food, or making sure every detail of the trip ran smoothly, Jay went above and beyond in every way.
Can’t wait for my next adventure with this team!
Joined the Cambodia Intro trip solo and can;t fault anything about the experience. The group leader (Izabela!!) was incredibly friendly, welcoming and communicative throughout the whole trip and prior.
The country is extremely relaxed and the people are super welcoming, it hard to go anywhere without being greeted or waved at by the local children. Every experience was well organised and the guide - whether that be a local or the tour leader - was knowledgeable and open to questions. I couldn;t recommend Intro enough to anyone wanting to travel solo or with friends! °
