Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their exceptional leadership, enthusiasm, and ability to make tours enjoyable and well-organized. Many highlight the guides' extensive knowledge of locations and cultures, their attentiveness to individual needs, and their talent for fostering a positive group atmosphere. People frequently mention that the holidays offered a diverse range of activities and experiences, with well-planned itineraries that balanced iconic sights with hidden gems. The seamless user experience, from smooth transport to efficient problem-solving, also contributed to highly satisfying trips. However, some people were dissatisfied with the service, reporting that a significant portion of their trip was a "complete waste" due to a lack of engaging activities. These customers felt that efforts to arrange alternative activities were weak and resulted in last-minute, unsuitable options. One reviewer also mentioned feeling isolated from their group despite attempts to connect.

India Experience

I have just finished the India Experience tour with Intro Travel and the most amazing tour guide Dev. The trip was packed full of amazing activities and experiences and Dev made the trip incredible. He made us feel safe at all times, something I was worried about, travelling as a solo female. I have done both Thailand and The Philippines aswell with intro and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Informative group leader and tour guide

Informative group leader and tour guide Dev & Data. Both went above & beyond to make the last 13 days of travelling not only relaxing but memorable. Visited some beautiful landmarks, ate some incredible food & made some memories that will last a life time.

Lachie the Legend

I have just completed the 17 day Japan trip and had an amazing time. The trip was extremely well organised with lots of supports provided for travelling before and after the tour. Enjoyable activities were well organised for every day, but travellers still had the freedom to make their own decisions if they had other plans. Each accommodation was high quality and the variety of types of stays was interesting to experience.

Lachie Fleming was a brilliant leader. He was continuously professions in his duties while simultaneously being an active, friendly and supportive member of the group. He went above and beyond to accommodate different needs around accommodation preferences, dietary restrictions and appealing to the personal interests of travellers. I am hugely thankful to him for his amazing work and could not recommend the service enough to other travellers.

12 Day Thai Intro - Great Memories

I just did the 12 Day Thai Intro trip and loved it. This was my 2nd time to Thailand and this one was way better than the first time. The itinerary was great, we visited Bangkok, Khao Sok NationalPark, Ko Phangan and ending in Phi Phi. The best part is that 99% of the activities we did were already included so there was no surprises. Our tour leader "TK" did a phenomenal job, she handled everything like a real pro. She has a bright future ahead of her in her field. I'm really happy I did this tour and will probably do another with Intro Travel.

Waste of time and money

Having spend £1749 for 2 weeks in the Philippines I was deeply disappointed by the service received from Intro.

Two typhoons hit areas in the Philippines on the first week of the tour disrupting the schedule meaning the group stayed longer in very low budget accommodation with all arranged activities cancelled. A weak effort was eventually made to arrange some activities, but they were not in keeping with an action activity trip that I had paid for. We would often be told in the first week that we had ANOTHER free day meaning we had to pay out of our own money to arrange activities to fill our day. Then when some of us had paid to do activities we would then be told an activity had been arranged for us that we couldn’t attend. And the arranged last minute activities were terrible. An example was a slow walking tour of an old fort. Safe to say we took the average age down by about 50. It took hours and was not in keeping at all.

It is clear Intro Travel only care about profits as no attempt was made to rearrange the schedule to avoid the typhoons. We were just sitting ducks. The whole first week was a complete waste of our annual leave and money.

Intro Travel eventually reached out to our group after pressure from our host and offered a £150 refund and 20% off a future trip. The group was very disappointed by this, but they refused to budge and even broke down the cost of the activities we missed which really didn’t cost much which made me wonder why the trip was so expensive in the first place. I asked for a full breakdown of the trip cost to justify the £1749, but it was refused. Safe to say I will not be using the 20% discount or using this company again.

I do a lot of group travel and this is the first company who has been a complete let down. Had they offered 20% off the trip we missed, it would have been more reasonable.

Before booking, please be cautious.

Hi Steffy,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that your experience in the Philippines was impacted so significantly and that this led to disappointment.

Typhoons Tino and Fung Wong formed part of a deadly weather event that affected large areas of the country. During this time, conditions were changing rapidly, with widespread flooding, damaged infrastructure, and transport links becoming unsafe or inaccessible. In these circumstances, our priority was, and always will be, the safety of our group members. This meant avoiding high risk areas and limiting travel where conditions could not be guaranteed to be safe, even when that resulted in difficult and frustrating changes to the itinerary.

We understand the frustration around cancelled activities and increased free time. While our team worked on the ground to arrange alternative options where possible, the reality of the situation meant that like for like activities were often not available or could not be delivered safely. Decisions were made in real time based on weather updates, guidance from local authorities, and transport reliability, which unfortunately meant plans sometimes changed at short notice.

We do want to be clear that profit was never prioritised over guest experience. Natural disasters are entirely outside the control of any tour operator, and there was no safe or realistic way to reroute the itinerary to fully avoid the typhoons without exposing the group to further risk.

Following the trip, a partial refund was given, as we genuinely empathise with everyone whose experience was disrupted by this severe weather event. We understand that the offer made did not meet your expectations, but it was provided in good faith and in line with our policies. We are really sorry that your groups experience was affected by the typhoon, but hope you can understand that we did everything we could given the extremely difficult circumstances.

Kind regards,
The INTRO Travel Team

Lauren The Legend !!! 🥞

Just finished the 17 day New Zealand tour with Lauren and couldn’t have asked for a better time! Everything was so organised and made solo travelling less stressful. Lauren was so knowledgeable about all things New Zealand, Aotearoa, and Māori culture. The views were stunning and all the activities organised by intro were well planned and worth doing. I was so grateful for the whole group and was really sad to leave everyone. The best time with the best people ❤️❤️

Japan 13 Day Adventure

What a time I had exploring this incredible country with Intro and our group leader extraordinaire Izzy!
I had the time of my life, the itinerary was jam packed with inclusions whilst feeling relaxed at the same time, the accommodation was great and the company even better.
Japan is truly the gift that keeps on giving and it’s impossible to decide on a highlight but the excitement of seeing Fuji in all her glory was pretty special.

Our group leader Izzy was fantastic; professional, abundant with energy, thoughtful and had a clear passion for travel and what she does. I cannot think of a single thing I would change. Intro are incredibly fortunate to have her working for them! Thank you Izzy and Japan, look forward to booking the next one!!

India Experience - Full of Memories

My experience in India was truly something I did not expect, and that’s all thanks to Dev and Vivek, our tour leader and guide throughout the Nov 22-Dec 5th 2025 tour. Their organisation, cultural knowledge, team work and support was impeccable, and our group truly benefitted from their combined experience. India will be a country and experience I will never forget, all thanks to Dev, Vivek and Intro.

Dev + Vivek = Dream team!!!!

Recently came home off an Intro tour to India and all I have to say is wow!!!! The tour was so well run, full of so many activities, cultural experiences and a dive into the history. The combination of our guides (Dev and Vivek) created the absolute dream team. Dev was always so full of life and enthusiasm and created an unbreakable bond between our group and Vivek was always there to share his mountain of knowledge with us, the both of them always made sure we felt safe and we knew we could call on them for anything. My first tour i’ve done with Into and i am throughly impressed!!

Leo!!!! What a guy!
Started my Vietnam tour with Leo and what an amazing guy.
Outstanding Travel Guide Experience!

I had an amazing experience with this travel guide! Their positive energy was contagious from the very beginning, and their communication throughout the trip was exceptional. They are incredibly knowledgeable, and every stop came with interesting facts and helpful insights that really enriched the experience.

What I appreciated most was how welcome they made everyone feel—creating a true team/family atmosphere among the group. It wasn’t just a tour; it was a shared adventure. I felt supported, connected, and fully immersed in the journey.

If you’re looking for someone who is professional, friendly, informative, and genuinely passionate about what they do, I highly recommend LEO. The trip was unforgettable!

The India tour was amazing. A perfect blend of culture, sight seeing and adventure. We were so lucky that we had the dream team, Dev and Vivek, as our tour leader and local guide. Dev, was brilliant in making sure we bonded as a group and his enthusiasm and passion for the country (and life in general) was infectious. Vivek’s never-ending knowledge about the history of India was incredible. They both worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure we had the best trip possible. Will definitely book with intro again
