ABOUT US

Our Story

Picture this...two guys in their 20s, 9-5ing and running the rat race. They were burning out fast and couldn't help but think there MUST be more to life than spreadsheets and suits! They wanted to leave ordinary behind and find out if extraordinary was out there and so they did...

 

Soon, they swapped the corporate life for elephant pants and sunset beers and never looked back! They shared a dream of creating adventures that allowed people to explore all around the world, create long-lasting friendships and give back to the amazing communities along the way. TruTravels was born!

Leave Ordinary Behind

We werenā€™t made for the ordinary.

 

We were made to chase sunsets, not schedules, to connect with the world, to meet people and form communities globally. To share conversations and connections. To make a difference.

 

The best memories arenā€™t made in comfort zones. Theyā€™re made when you step into the unknown, when you say yes to adventure and look for something more. Connect, feel, explore.

 

Find your extraordinary.

CreateOpportunity

We believe in providing the opportunity for our customers to have the time of their lives, for our staff to be the best they can be and for our partners and communities to use tourism as an opportunity
to improve their lives. Together, we have a chance to promote equality through social enterprise and responsible travel.

Jet, 10/10
Jet was the best group leader I couldā€™ve asked for! Punctual, an effective communicator, incredibly knowledgeable, organised and an overall great guy, someone Iā€™m very grateful to call a friend.Considering it was his first time doing the backpacker tour, he absolutely smashed it. He facilitated the perfect balance of planned activities and free time. An incredibly hard working and grateful guy and a real pleasure to spend 10 days with. Best of luck jet!

The best 10 days
I had such an amazing time. I came as a solo traveller and used this tour as the first 10 days of my three month solo trip around south east asia. Jet was amazing and honestly couldnā€™t fault him. Always so so smiley, upbeat, uplifting and supportive along with being helpful and making sure we feel safe and know what we are doing. Him being young made him feel like another friend on the tour rather than a guide. The activities were a lot of fun and the hostels were great. Jet got stuck in to al…

Nana is the best tour guide and an absolute bundle of joy. He made sure everyone was included and doing an activity to suit them. He gave us lots of options for free time and lots of information about Cambodia. This tour was brilliant and I would recommend to everyone. (Our groups average age was 27)

I did the Central America experience with Eva and it was the best trip ever! She is the perfect mix of tour guide, historian, best friend and mum...without her I do not think I would have enjoyed the trip as much as I did.

Tour guide
Out tour guide Milin has genuinely been the best tour guide I could have asked for on this trip. From start to finish, she made the entire experience so fun, effortless, and memorable. Her energy, organisation, and knowledge are incredible, and itā€™s clear she truly cares about what she does.What stood out the most is how supportive she was beyond just being a guide. We had a bit of a challenging situation within the group at one point, and Milin handled it with such professionalism, calmness…
