Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I did the 18 day Thailand intro tour. If you're interest is to get as much Thai culture and scenery packed into less than 3 weeks then I can't recommend this enough. The itinerary is packed full of activities that'll keep you on your feet most of the time but also give you a nice amount of freetime to relax and do your own thing.
I truly have had the best experience in Thailand and I really have to give much of that credit to my group leader, Lauren Barrington. Lauren absolutely exceeded any expectation I had of a group leader. Her devotion to her work to make sure everyone is safe, comfortable and has their needs met is amazing, she truly cares about everyone having the best experience. She is an open book with so many great and funny stories to tell. Even on some days when group morale may be low due to a late night of drinking or feeling exhausted, Lauren is fantastic at bringing the energy back. I had been sick for a couple of days while over there and Lauren was great to check in on me regularly to make sure I was doing okay.
All of us on this tour feel the same, Lauren has a truly kind and caring soul and a really great relationship with the locals and her groups. Lauren was a highlght of the trip and I wish her all the luck in the world wherever she ends up. I am very glad to have made a very cool friend on this trip.
We love you Loz, whoop whoop x

Thailand 12 day intro tour 🫰
This was my second tour in Asia as I have previously done the Philippines and I needed more travel so I joined on to the Thai intro 12 day.
My guide was called Lauren (Loz), from the moment the tour began she was simply going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She stayed up to greet me at 4am as my flight was delayed which was honestly such a great start to my trip.
Throughout my trip I had some minor situations occur and Loz was ever so helpful she was always making sure I was ok. She was always so efficient at helping with anything I needed. My previous tour was led by a local and Loz is from Europe and I didn’t expect someone who is not local to be so informative with how they lead their tour but how wrong was I. Loz knows every little detail and is super informative and her energy is unmatched! Loz also takes the time do other activities outside of the itinerary to give her customers a much more wholesome experience, for example Loz asked would I like to do my first ever scuba dive and I said absolutely and without a doubt this experience was my most memorable and I cannot thank Loz for enough for taken the time outside of her busy schedule to show me the deep diving experience. She simply does a terrific job and I would hope one day when I return to do a tour I get Loz as my leader.

The 18-day Thai Intro trip has truly been the experience of a lifetime. I've always struggled with anxiety and was very nervous going to a new country 6000 miles from home, but our group leader Zoe was simply incredible and helped me feel safe and at ease the entire trip. There was a variety of activities both on and off the itinerary, and as someone who doesn't really enjoy the party lifestyle I found there was still plenty for me to enjoy and I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything.
Zoe did an incredible job of jelling the group together and fostering new friendships. She has amazing knowledge of Thailand and was excellent at keeping the group entertained - both with her fun facts and her signature dance The Zoe 2-step.
I can confidently say I will come back to Thailand at some point and also endeavor to visit other South Asian countries. This tour was instrumental in building my confidence and I can see myself booking another Intro tour in the future.

Myself and my girlfriend have just completed the Thailand part of our Epic Asia trip (or 18 day Thai intro) and I cannot recommend it enough. Although we travelled together and most of our group was made up of solo travelers, you weren’t able to separate everyone by the end! From tuk tuk and temple tours in the city, to boat/beach parties and jungle treks, every minute of the trip was incredible. This was partially down to the itinerary and people on the trip, but it wouldn’t have been the same trip without our group leader Loz.
From the very beginning of the trip to the very end, Loz was an extremely helpful and pleasant group leader. She kindly went out of her way to provide us food and activity recommendations when we arrived a few days early for the trip which we really appreciated having never been in Thailand before. She constantly made sure everything ran smoothly and her insight into the local people and culture made it even better!
If you are looking to travel to Thailand or anywhere in Southeast Asia and you’re apprehensive of traveling on your own or are just looking for a group to travel with, Intro Travel is the way to go! We’re looking forward to the Vietnam and Cambodia sections of the tour but are already planning our next trip, and South Africa looks to be calling our names!

I did 10 day Cambodia trip march'23. The itinerary is good and we have time for relaxing as well. The stay overall in all hotels,resorts was very good. Our host Sukho is very good guide,warm and friendly. He surely taken care of us and provided all the details of Cambodian culture.
To improve, I would prefer group to be more diverse. I can certainly understand that its UK based company so majority group members were from UK.
Also, for food there should be an options to eat at different places. We were taken most of time to restaurant with western cuisine that were expensive. Tour operators always have tie ups with those restaurants but as traveller I want to support local and in-need by eating at local joints. I recommend this tour but I won't do it again as I felt I am somewhere in UK and not having diversity.

Just finished my 12 day Thailand Intro and honestly cold not recommend it more. I had an incredible experience and the best group leaders-Em and Michelle. The itinerary was a great balance between cultural experience, scenic beaches and great fun. Em and Michelle worked fantastic as a team and made sure the whole group had an incredible time. They are both very knowledgeable, reliable, charismatic and with 10/10 dance moves.
This was my second trip with Intro and I have already put a deposit for my next one.

Incredible experience! I have met so many amazing people on this trip from all different backgrounds and of different ages. Expectations for this tour have been exceeded, one of the main reasons was Lauren (Loz) our tour leader. Loz from the beginning was bubbly, friendly, approachable and kind. Whenever we had free time, she would send recommendations of activities/food places. Loz would often join us in our free time, it was nice how involved she was. It felt like she was a friend as well as a leader.
One of the days we were in the jungle and they were completing controlled fires, however one of the fires had become larger than expected, which caused a few members of the group to panic. Loz handled this situation incredibly well, she reassured us, whilst remaining calm herself, checked the surroundings to ensure the fire would not reach us and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Loz handled this situation professionally and calmly, which resulted in the group feeling reassured.
I am incredibly happy and fortunate to have been able to experience this tour. Every single day was as good as the day previously. The value for money is incredible, so many activities are included(more than I had expected), so many additional activities (additional cost) were also suggested which I wouldn't have done otherwise.
10/10

Best trip I’ve ever been on!
It was such a perfect mix of culture, chill and party!! Our tour guide Matt was genuinely a dream, he guided us safely providing great information and laughs along the way, going above and beyond offering us experiences off the itinerary such a scuba diving! He felt like a part of the group but we also could trust in him to keep us safe.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or better people to jump on this crazy ride with with!
Will be back again!

Thailand is #1 destination for travellers, sunny, welcoming and affordable! If you’re looking to get all the Thai wonders off your bucket list in one trip, I recommend "Thai Experience" which was the package I booked - Grand Place, Temples,Elephants at Phuket, Full Moon Party, Phi Phi Monkey islands and Especially if you hadn’t the opportunity to undergo traditional hopping from country to country, this option is perfect for those who are looking for holiday. You will meet fellow travellers from all walks of life to keep you acquainted, you will never feel alone and very safe. The locals are so welcoming and hospitable, never were we pressured to buy or visit their businesses.
Tess was our tour guide, there is no one else I thought could do a better job! She is friendly, has excellent photography skills, can converse is many languages and has an excellent sense of humour! She worked simultaneously around the clock and made sure each travellers welfare needs were taken care of! I will definitely do another intro trip hosted by Tess! Thank you so much for the happy memories!

My Thailand experience was 10/10. I have never laughed so much in my entire life than I have in the 18 days of Intro. If you like a mix of party, culture, city and beach life it’s one not to miss.
The tour itself was one of the best three weeks of my life.
The perfect group
The perfect leaders
The perfect locations
Starting with the leader Dan (and wonderful trainee/helper Bella for a few days)… Our experience would not be the same without them. Dan was the perfect balance of safety and fun. If you can handle banter and a strong Scottish accent you’re in the right hands. His inside info, his care for us and onward travel as well as commitment to having little rest with our crazy gang was amazing. Cried endlessly leaving our group at the airport but also specifically Dan; never thought I’d say that! We all have such appreciation for him.
Bella was unbelievable to have as an additional leader; she’s beautiful inside and out. Consideration for all 26 of us, her constant jokes and uplifting personality was greatly loved by every one of us. Wishing her the best of luck in her future tours.
Very well organised, a perfect balance of culture and party life as I’ve said (admittedly our group was more party than culture), but the days all individually were unbelievable. We were also sooo lucky to be 26 people close as anythingggg for the entirety of the trip; we have made friends for life.
I won’t go into detail on the activities because there are amazing surprises alongside the activities to not ruin; all I want to finish with, is BOOK !! 🏝️ 🇹🇭
Highlights: Maya Bay sunset on a boat, swimming with plankton, phi phi islands, home stay in a jungle, elephant sanctuary!

My daughter is keen to do this trip but has a very limited diet. Does anyone know if there is restaurants that would cater for her? She basically eats chicken nuggets/ goujouns. Any advice would be helpful
