Chelsea H | Traveled in May
Overall I had a great time on this trip! I got to experience a lot in both India and Sri Lanka and appreciated my time spent in this area of the world!
Alter. E | Traveled in May
Ich bin mit INTRO durch Sri Lanka gereist. (11 Nchte). Meine anfngliche Skepsis eine Gruppenreise zu machen ist sehr schnell verflogen. Die Gruppengre (max. 16 in Sri Lanka) ist genau richtig. Man trifft Gleichgesinnte Menschen und das Programm ist bunt durchmischt. Intro bedient meiner Einschtzung nach die L¼cke zwischen low cost Gruppenreisen und den betagteren Gruppenreisen. Unterk¼nfte und Transportmittel waren in der Regel obere Mittelklasse und somit genau richtig f¼r meine Anspr¼che. Man bekommt einen sehr guten Eindruck von dem was das wunderschne Land zu bieten hat, wenn man durch die unterschiedlichsten Hotspots gef¼hrt wird. Intro versucht zunehmend nachhaltig zu werden und unterst¼tzt die regionalen Betriebe. Alles ist bestens organisiert und wenn Ihr das Gl¼ck haben solltet Penny als euren Guide zu erwischen, dann seid euch einem hchst professionellen und uerst engagierten Service gewiss. #do it Pennywise

Just ended my first Intro Tour to Sri Lanka with Thomas K. While I cannot say enough about how amazing and breathtakingly beautiful the country was - the real magic happened from having such a great guide! Thomas shared his wisdom, experience and overall zest for travel and life. This trip turned into one of my most cherished memories! Five stars!! Highly recommend!
Chelsea Alkema | Traveled in May
Just came back from a 12 day tour in Sri Lanka. And all I can say is Wow! The country, the group and our guide Tom was incredible. I've traveled the world for years and this trip was easily one of my favorites by far. Our guide Tom really took care of our group. His kindness and enthusiasm of this beautiful country was something I'll never forget and will truly cherish. Cannot wait to travel to the next destination with Tom Tom.
Stephanie Zeiders | Traveled in May
