such an amazing experience. seeing the beautiful culture and scenery of thailand. was so much fun. Smile was our tour leader and he was absolutely amazing. so fun and caring but also very professional. he helped us with anything we needed, and was there whenever we needed as well. couldn’t have asked for a better tour leader !

I have had an incredible experience. Smile was an incredible guide, I’m so pleased to have had him leading my first experience in Asia. I’d say smile was the perfect blend of fun and professional, he was always up for a laugh (cheeky in the best way!) but I had complete faith that he would handle whatever was thrown his way. He was so attentive and compassionate. For future travellers, you couldn’t be in better hands. Within his career, I hope that he receives opportunities to progress, they would be well deserved. Thank you for making my first experience travelling Asia as wonderful and stress free as it was, I’m truly sad the tour is over!

I’m so glad that I chose to do this tour! I’ve met so many lovely people and seen the most gorgeous places.
Smile has been a fantastic tour guide throughout our 2 week tour I don’t think any of us could’ve asked for a more entertaining, funny, informative, patient and friendly tour guide. He has made sure that everyone is included in all activities and that everyone feels safe and comfortable to talk to him whenever they need. He has always made it clear that we can approach him whenever we need and has made even the most boring things enjoyable.
He has showed so much patience with the whole group when we have been running behind.
Whenever we had any problems with our rooms he has always tried his best to sort out any issues, such as bugs in the room.

Smile was absolutely amazing! Could not have asked for a better guide who has become a friend to us all. He was professional and informative from start to finish and also made sure we were all safe and having a good time. I did not have any issues but feel confident that I could have gone to smile with anything and he would have helped best he could. The full experience was incredible and I feel like we managed to go to so many places and do lots of activities in the time of the tour. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone, especially if you’re lucky enough to get smile as the guide. Made sure we knew what the plan was the day before so could prepare and also have lots of suggestions for food, shopping and activities for in our free time! The boat trips were the best parts but I genuinely couldn’t pick my favourite because everywhere was so beautiful but different experiences. Loved it all

Amazing experience with amazing locations. Most accoms are on the beach or lovely! Did have some bugs in my bed or room in 2 locations are rural. Loved our tour guide Smile he was so kind and friendly and couldnt do enough for you!! Stress free amazing tour and saw so much including baby sharks in koh tao

I had an incredible experience on the Yucatan 7 Day Loop in Mexico. From the crystal blue waters of Isle Holbox to the charming streets of Mérida, this whistle stop tour covers a lot of Yucatan. Our tour guide Alejandro (Tlaxqui) was truly exceptional. His knowledge of Mexico, the Mayans and the ecology was really impressive and he was very charming, friendly and welcoming. He went out of his way to get to know each and every one of us and would go out of his way to keep us happy. My only complaint about the tour would be the food. As a food blogger and massive foodie, the restaurants we were brought to were often quite expensive, touristy and poor quality. It is such a shame considering Mexican food is UNESCO recognised. We also had to pay for this food. The accommodation was fine. Some hotels were quite basic, with lack of running water in one. When we looked up the accomm they were often quite cheap (50e for a double room) leading me to believe Tru Travels are making quite a profit from this tour! 7 Day tour is also misleading as really it is 5 days, the first night is a dinner (that you have to pay for) and the last day is just going home.

Overall I had a blast, Alejandro was exceptional and we covered a lot in the week!

I recently joined the Bali Backpacker 12-day tour, and I honestly couldn’t recommend it more. From the very beginning, the booking process was simple and straightforward, and the trip itself was excellent value for money. The admin team were always quick to respond and incredibly helpful whenever I had questions, which made the whole experience stress-free from the start.

This was the first Bali Backpacker tour of its kind, and based on my experience, I have no doubt it will continue to be a huge success. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned and perfectly balanced, covering all the must-see highlights of Bali while still allowing time to relax and take everything in. The accommodation, activities, and transport were all good quality throughout the trip.

One of my personal highlights was visiting Ubud, especially the local cooking class, which was such a fun and authentic experience. I also really appreciated having free time built into most days, giving us the flexibility to explore on our own or opt out of activities if we needed a rest.

What truly made this trip unforgettable, though, was our tour guide, Azri. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in great hands. Azri is incredibly kind, approachable, and always willing to help with anything, big or small. He brought such a positive energy to the group and made everyone feel comfortable and included.

He’s also great fun—whether it was nights out, dancing, or even karaoke, he was always up for a laugh (and not too bad on the mic either!). At the same time, he was always professional, making sure everyone felt safe, supported, and looked after at all times.

With years of experience guiding tours around Indonesia, Azri’s knowledge really shines through in his recommendations and the way he handles every situation with ease. You can genuinely tell he loves what he does, and that passion makes a huge difference to the overall experience.

If you’re lucky enough to have Azri as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable trip filled with laughter, great memories, and amazing experiences.

See you next time in Sumatra, Azri ❤️

It has been such a wonderful experience, far better than I expected. It's a shame it's already over.
Med is the best Guide, it feels like a trip with good friend !!

Cannot recommend this trip enough. Morgan our tour guide was amazing. He always made sure we had recommendations for our free time, booked dinner for us and made sure everyone got to do what they wanted maing the trip even better. He had amazing knowledge about all the places we visited and made sure all our travel went smoothly. He was very thoughtful and made sure everyone was okay and had what they needed! He always joined in with us and made sure everyone was included. Cannot recommend this tour enough especially Morgan as a guide!

I went on the Legend of Japan 12 Day Trip with Trutravels (/GalsWhoTravel) 2nd-13th April 2026, with Morgan as our guide.

Firstly, the itinerary is PACKED in the best way. We got to see lots of temples, take part in Japanese culture and understand so much more about the history of this beautiful country. I loved the sushi making workshop and temple stay in particular.

We stayed in pretty decent accommodation for the whole trip- as someone with some travel anxiety and previous experience with bedbugs in European hostels, this was greatly appreciated!

Having done a couple of group tours previously, I have definitely found the guide you have can make or break the tour. On this one, I had the joy of having Morgan for our guide. From the moment we met him, Morgan was always cheerful and approachable, giving great suggestions for things to do and see to avoid some of the tourist traps and helping to translate where needed. He was incredibly informative, giving us lots of fascinating insight on history and culture in Japan and making the trip a lot of fun! But above all else, he was incredibly kind- a few of the people on our tour had (unavoidable!) issues, including baggage that did not arrive in time (Morgan phoned the Japanese handlers multiple times to get the bags back to her), a lost phone (Morgan helped locate it and get it posted back) and a stomach bug (Morgan helped locate pharmacies, brought medicine/food back, checked throughout the day via text to ensure they were okay and helped find alternative activities). Without a doubt, Morgan is the best guide I have had on any group tour. As someone who has previously suffered a lot with travel anxiety, I felt very safe and supported throughout the trip.

All in all, I would thoroughly recommend this tour!

I went on the 12 day legends of Japan and our guide was called Morgan and he was absolutely fantastic. Morgan is a gentleman and made sure everyone in the group was happy and safe at all times. It is very evident that he is passionate about his job and is very well versed in the history and culture of Japan. I felt I got to see so much more because of this tour rather than if I had come here on my own. 10/10 experience!!

I’ve just done the 13 day India trip with Tru. My group leader Shivy was amazing! He always made sure we were where we needed to be on time and had lots of knowledge about India. Would definitely recommend!

I had an amazing time on the 13 day India Uncovered tour in India. The itinerary was fantastic and covered all the major sites in Rajasthan, plus some great extras! The whole experience was made even better by our fantastic guide Shivy, he was so knowledgeable and organised, made everything flow effortlessly, and was also so much fun! I felt safe and supported travelling through India with Tru Travels, I also appreciated how many included activities and meals there were in the price, while still having a great variety of optional extras. The accommodation was great and our transport was very comfortable with a safe and friendly driver and assistant. Highly recommend this tour!

I did the India uncovered tour and had Shivy as our Tour guide. This tour exceeded my expectations and I loved every second of it. The organisation of the tour was perfect and Shivy was so professional, knowledgeable and fun to be around which made the tour even better. The transport arranged through tru travels was 10/10 with amazing drivers; Nihal Singh and Kuldeep. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit India. Thanks again Shivy!

I just completed the India tour with Shivy and it was an incredible experience. India is a beautiful country and personally Udaipur and Ranthambhore were stand out locations.I am so grateful to have got to experience and learn so much about the culture, history and people of India and Rajasthan and this wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing knowledge of Shivy and his encouragement to always ask questions. Our coach journeys and activities were always full of giggles and we were always thoroughly entertained.

The whole trip was seamless and flowed so nicely all thanks to Shivy’s impeccable organisation and connections. He went above and beyond for us all and would frequently go out of his way to check up on us, I get an item behind in one of the hotels and he organised it to be forwarded to the next hotel so quickly. We were always provided with plenty of recommendations for everything from food, shopping, extra activities, no matter the request Shivy always have a plethora of information to help.

I highly recommend booking India as your next trip and I am so eager to return and get to see even more of this beautiful country!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My first trip to India couldn’t have been any better. Shivvy is the perfect guide, he had everything planned perfectly, any issues would be solved, questions answered, pictures taken and dance moves on show 🕺🏻 he helped me create countless unforgettable memories that will forever stay with me. As well as having a perfect group filled with special people that will always be remembered!

Following on from doing the incredible Australia tour last year, I’m happy to share that the India tour with Tru Travels was also amazing! We’re coming to the end of such a great 2 weeks. We got lucky having such a great group (16 of us). Our guide Shivy ensured the trip ran smoothly, with preplanning for every scenario, hours and hours of knowledge to fill the bus journeys, and a great sense of humour along with great moves on the dance floor! Our driver Nihal could 3 point turn the bus anywhere in full traffic - serious skills!
The trip had a good balance of site seeing and planned activities to balance out the longer travel days. Overall it’s been brilliant, now to decide on where to go next.

The India tour was amazing, our guide Shivy was great very helpful and informative, I would highly recommend. Thank you Shivy.

Shivy was an excellent guide! The whole process was very smooth and made India extremely enjoyable!

I had the best experience on the 10 day Cambodia Explorer and couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone thinking of doing a Cambodia Tour. The whole aspect of the tour was well thought out and extremely well organised. Had a great variation of activities within the itinerary and loved being able to see more of Cambodia than you would travelling solo. Also enjoyed the opportunity of free time throughout as well as group activities and evenings. Hul the tour guide was the honestly the best person ever. Always so accommodating, welcoming and cheerful and cares so much about showing us a true Cambodian experience. He has so much pride in his job and it’s very evident in everything he does. He always put our needs and wants as his top priority and always tried to accommodate everyone in the group. I don’t think I would’ve loved the tour as much as I did if it wasn’t for Hul bringing the vibes! All other aspects of the tour such as accommodation and transport were always of a high standard. Twin share hotel rooms were always good condition and transport ways on time, and accommodated the whole group. Overall this was the best experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing the Cambodia explorer.
