I have just finished the 20 day Brisbane to Cairns Oz Intro tour led by the incredible Gigi. Gigi successfully managed to align 20 different personalities together and created a group that felt like family when we left- I genuinely cannot imagine the tour without her. She was so organised, calm and enthusiastic about Australia and Australian culture and made sure the trip felt calm throughout, taking any potential opportunity for stress away from us all. Truly the best (very jam packed trip) that exceeded all of my expectations.

I have just finished the Australia East coast tour with Intro travel. Our group leader Hannah was amazing! Everything was well organised so you didn’t have to worry about anything. She was extremely welcoming, enthusiastic and helpful throughout the trip, making it a fun experience for everyone!!
Excellent
I’ve just done 6 tours with Intro, going to NZ, Australia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Bali. It’s literally been the trip of a lifetime, and they have been the best company to travel with. The itineraries in each country have been perfect, with a great blend of activities, cultural experiences, and free/chill time. The whole trip wouldn’t have been the same though without the superb group leaders I’ve had in each country; Ollie, Faye, Liam, Seyha, Niamh, and Tess. Their knowledge and expertise is second-to-none, and their all-round friendly, humorous, caring personalities made the trip for me, and left me feeling like I’ve gained friends for life. Miss them all so much, and will 100% travel with Intro again!
Excellent
I wouldnt change this experience for the world and had the best time going up the east coast of Australia, our group leader Faye was amazing and helpful in every aspect and even helped us with booking hostels/travel for after the tour and managed to keep our spirits high even after gari was cancelled. My favourite part of the tour was definitely the 2 days sailing the whitsundays which was absolutely beautiful.
Excellent
I’ve just finished my Australia Intro trip and had the best time ever! It covered everything that I wanted to do and has made me fall in love with the country!! Even with some rain towards the end, the activities we did and our group leader Faye kept us all positive. Faye was such a great friend to us all and she was always so bubbly and enthusiastic. I couldn’t have asked for a better leader for the east coast.
