No, I;ve not been bribed nor blackmailed for this, Caro is just incredible. You;d better appreciate my use of the thesaurus too. Caro has been easily the most incredible guide I;ve had the pleasure of following, and one of the most persona..ble and approachable people I;ve ever met. There was not a local on the entire tour that was not transparently excited to see Caro, every time, and I think that sums them up perfectly. Their passion for the places, animals, and activities on the tour is so authentic and infectious; I had never, and will never again, be quite so excited for a beach cleanup as I was with Caro. Nor will I ever have as much fun viewing a temple in torrential downpour. I can;t credit them enough for the amazing time I;ve had on this tour, and all the time I;ve laughed till my tummy hurts. (Bali intro, 12 day) The knowledge Caro has, and has passed on, of the local area, people, traditions, food and customs is outstanding. I feel so much more well-travelled and learned with them as our guide, and empowered to go on solo. They showed us around like a local (literally, in some cases; those ferry loos were not for the weak), and the experience with them was so special. (Not the ferry loos though, I;d pass on them next time) Also, I cannot understate the usefulness of having a photographer as our tour guide - I have my life worth of profile pictures now, and I was so grateful for the fact I could enjoy every moment and not think about recording it, because Caro was our personal little documenter. I was struck by Caro sensitivity and empathy; any and all concerns were addressed rapidly, with compassion and precision. I never felt as though there was anything I would be uncomfortable to share with them, or anything they wouldn;t be able to help with. Maybe the most level-headed in a non-monkey related crisis person I;ve ever met (she didn;t even scream that loudly when confronted with a rouge monkey on her shoulder, which is impressive in itself.) As an anxious girlie, I;ve never met someone so willing to sit patiently with me through multiple panic attacks, with reassurence, cuddles and kindness that reduced me to tears every time. Every emotion was validated and understood. There was no judgement from their end the whole trip, even when I had to admit to losing half my underwear leaving it outside to "dry" in a storm. Caro genuine care for the people she guides shines through, and it something I;ve been so grateful for. Their inclusivity meant there was never a person left behind, nor left out, nor uncomfortable at any time. Thank you Caro, for such a wonderful trip ’• p.s. never go immediately after Caro in Karaoke this queen can SING Read full review

The most amazing 12 days in Bali˜¸ I have just finished a 12 day tour in Bali with intro and had the most incredible time! The planned activities were so much fun. My personal favourites included a home visit to a village where we got ..to sample the local food and learnt how to weave bamboo baskets with the family, hiking up mount Batur at sunrise, the views were beautiful despite it being rainy season and lastly unforgettable nights out in Gili T with new friends that I will definitely keep in touch with. We came across a few hurdles on our trip due to the weather however the group leaders remained very calm and kept everyone smiling. It would not have been the same without our fabulous tour guides Katie and Bella. They were so lovely, friendly and very fun. They were super involved in all activities and were very approachable with any queries the group might have. Overall I would 100% recommend any intro group tour. For first time travellers, solo travellers or even for experienced travellers, you wont regret it! I would definitely book with intro in the future¼ Read full review

I did the 12 day Intro in Bali with Holly. She was an absolute legend of a leader who did as much as possible to make sure people got the most out of their trip. What I appreciated more than anything was the recommendations she gave me f..or my next big trip around Europe. She typed out an absolute boat load of things and places for me to visit that she had personally experienced and loved with pictures to boot! Holly, will miss ya mate! Read full review

Just finishing the Bali 12 days with Amie as our tour leader. I cannot recommend intro travel enough, they took all the stress of planning and organising off my plate. The group was amazing and the route was perfect to see the best bits.. of Bali. Our tour leader Amie was a massive part in making this experience amazing, with a few bumps in the road from the weather to natural disasters she always had other activities planned for us. She really is amazing person with a shining personality and is asset to intro travel. Soley, her attitude towards travelling has really made me sure in my decisions to book further trips with intro travel. I have made life long friends from this trip it was deffos unforgettable. Thankyou to Amie and intro x Read full review

I did the Bali intro 12 day tour and this trip was amazing! Could not recommend it more, and definitely would not have been the trip it was without our amazing leader Caro! She is your hype girl, your photographer, your karaoke and dancing ..superstar and of course camp mum! The dedication to ensure every single person had the best experience possible was¦ I actually have no words to describe how grateful I am! I went solo but bonded and made friends with the entire group so quickly. The days were jam packed with heaps of cool activities, a lot of experiences you wouldnt likely be able to have if you were to do it yourself but also enough down time in amongst that I never felt exhausted. Have already booked a second trip! Read full review
