Reviews from travellers on this tour

Rebecca Smith

Oct 2023

I joined the tru travels tour in October. This tour entailed joining a group who were on the Bali experience 18 day trip. Our guide was Ovinda. She was amazing as a tour leader! Very welcoming, fun, caring, easy to talk to, well organised and informative about Indonesian culture. She had so much enthusiasm everyday and explained everything we were doing. She would go above and beyond to ensure we were having the best time. In terms of the itinerary I think it needs some tweaking. Those of us that joined the trip for the komodo section had a chill beach day on the second day. This worked ok for those in the group who had also done the prior 10 days in Bali but for us we felt it would be good to have an optional extra to do an activity. Some of us decided to hire a driver and boat to go to Pink Beach. Ovinda ensured she had all the details and contact info so if we needed anything we were not stuck. She always made sure she knew where everyone was. The komodo boat trip was definitely the best part of the 9 days but the boat need some improvement, especially in terms of there being enough food for a larger group like we had. However, the activities we did were incredible. We swam with a group of manta rays, hiked Padar Island at sunrise, chilled on pink beach and saw Komodo dragons. Rebecca Smith - Oct 2023
