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! :)
Beautiful and well-planned holiday with activities that both parents and children enjoyed. The tour guide was excellent with the children; he went above and above to give us detailed information about his home country, his family, what it's like to grow up there. We felt so welcomed there.
I had the best time on the Northern Thailand 14-day tour. It was so relaxing, and I felt completely safe knowing that wherever our tour guide took us would be amazing. I loved supporting local communities and learning about Thai culture in such a personal and meaningful way through our guide.
Some of the highlights for me were hiking to waterfalls, visiting temples, feeding and washing elephants, going river rafting, and so many other unforgettable experiences. My favorite part was hiking up to a small village in the mountains, meeting and getting to know wonderful people, and playing with local children.
Our tour guide also suggested the best restaurants and bars. I loved traveling with so many new people, many of whom I now call friends.
I’ve already recommended this tour to my sister, and I just hope she gets a tour guide as caring and organized as Smile (my tour guide). He shared personal stories that helped us understand the culture through his own experiences, and he was always patient and happy to answer our million questions.
He made sure everyone was safe, whether it was looking after us when we were sick or making sure we got home safely after a night out. He was also incredibly accommodating when it came to any extra wishes or concerns.
Smile was both a caring friend, opening up to us on a personal level, and a great leader who was organized and supportive in every way. He shared so much about the history and culture, making the experience truly meaningful.
I’m so glad Smile was our tour guide and so glad I took this amazing tour.
Peanut was absolutely incredible — hands down one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. From start to finish, they brought such a fun, calm, and welcoming vibe to the group. They kept us so well informed every day, updating the group chat with the plan so clearly that there was never any confusion about what was happening or where we needed to be.
They were unbelievably organised but also so much fun — constantly making us laugh and creating such a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It honestly felt like travelling with a really good friend. If anyone needed anything, whether it was help finding something, feeling unwell, or just needing a bit of extra support, Peanut always knew exactly what to do or where to go.
The itinerary itself was brilliant, but it was Peanut who made it all so special. I truly couldn’t fault a single thing. If you get the chance to tour with them — take it. You’re in the best hands!!

Our journey starts from Khun Khan National Park with its lush jungles and unspoilt forests along the little known Old Elephant Trail. This trek offers travellers an unparalleled insight into the rich biodiversity, cultures and customs of Thailand's northern hinterlands but with the construction of a road in the 1950s, the trail was abandoned.

Learn about Balinese cultures and traditions along the way, from Hindu temples to old-fashioned blacksmithing and get to know the easy going Balinese way of life!
Culturally enriching tour with many interesting diverse activities. It was wonderful to be in the rural areas and to see how the people live in the little villages. Thailand has a fascinating history and this tour provided very good insight. Thai people are very welcoming, humble and kind. A good level of fitness is necessary to enjoy the trekking experience.
To sum up my experience in one paragraph is an injustice to the beauty and bonds shared on this trip, with the CEO and now good friends I've come to meet. Even to share this trip with my partner by my side has enriched our relationship beyond what we previously had. I get teary-eyed when I think of the time spent hiking through the jungle, sharing wonderful meals at the market, playing cards games on the train, visiting the temples, feeding the elephants, listening to our CEO tell us about the city and people. It all is so majestically overwhelming in the best way possible. This trip was the best one of my life so far!
