Why should we travel with Intro Travel?
We asked Intro Travel why you should travel with them, here's what they said...
Since 2005, INTRO Travel has been creating life changing group travel experiences for travellers aged 18 to 40+. We’re here to make travel more social, more seamless and a whole lot more fun. You’ll explore incredible places, try amazing local food, connect with the people and culture, give back along the way and, of course, build a new crew of mates.
We’re a little different from your typical big tour operator. We put serious thought into every trip, from handpicking great accommodation to finding experiences that go beyond the usual tourist read more trail. Many of these experiences are created with our local partners, giving you a more authentic way to experience each destination.
Our trips are relaxed and social, with plenty of freedom to do your own thing. But we also don’t leave you with a packed itinerary of optional extras. The experiences, activities and inclusions you want are already built into the trip, with a few special surprises along the way.
