TruTravels

By Travelers, For Travelers
TruTravels has been set up by travelers, for travelers. They know what backpackers want from traveling, and they understand what isn’t so important. By taking part in a TruTravels tour, you will have all the hassles and common worries taken out of traveling to a new country - they will organise all the important things, so you can focus on enjoying yourself and having a good time.

Youthful And Fun Tours
TruTravels tours are designed to be laid back, youthful and fun, and this means that you will be traveling with others of a similar mindset. Seeing the main sights, as well as some of the backpacker favourites from off the beaten track, will mean you and your group get to experience things the way backpackers would - all with the convenience and safety or an organised group and group leader to show the way.

Specific Itineraries
TruTravels has been set up by travelers and backpackers - for travelers and backpackers. Their been-there, done-that approach means that you are getting the best information and the tours has been organised knowing what really takes place on the ground. By using their experience, TruTravels have managed to fit the best of the best into the time available, without compromising a sense of adventure or having to pay more than necessary.

Details Organised
By traveling with TruTravels, they organise all the important stuff, so that you can enjoy more of your holiday. With the local support once you get there, such as an airport pickup, taking care of all the small details, and the local advice and knowledge that will be available to you, you can enjoy more of your trip before, during, and after you’ve traveled with TruTravels. Even if you have onward travel arrangements to make, the crew and your group leader will be able to assist with that too.

Like Minded Travelers
Part of the TruTravels group will be other travelers in the same situation as yourself, so you will have friends from the day the tour starts. As well as the other travelers, the group leaders will become like friends also, with the TruTravels staff always happy to assist with any other travel questions you might have.

Shorter, Convenient Tours
By keeping the tours shorter, it means that you don’t need to go on an unnecessarily long backpacker tour, but with all the convenience and safety of a group tour. Traveling to a foreign country where you may not speak the language or understand the local customs can sometimes be daunting, but TruTravels will allow you the space to explore, while traveling with others and giving you the information you need.

PROVIDING HYGIENE KITS

We will be providing Hygiene kits for all our travellers upon arrival. Kits will include all the essentials such as face masks, hand sanitiser, antibacterial wipes & gloves. We want to give you all the essentials when you arrive so that your main focus can be on having the time of your life!

Our Travel Ninjas (Guides) will have enhanced training in how to carry out their role using social distancing measures. Their ninja belts will be upgraded with some tools needed to take extra precautions against the spread of COVID-19 and they will go through an enhanced training period prior to running tours again. We are working to maximise our knowledge and make sure that we are ready to show you our amazing destinations safely.

We’re trying our best to keep itineraries the same as we know how amazing they are. Our Travel Ninjas will choose the best time to visit tourist hotspots so we can avoid large crowds and are safely able to social distance. If there are any changes to the itinerary, we will keep you updated and replace it with an activity of equal value - we’ll only do this if we feel it is the safest thing to do.

Our groups have always been a good size but to make sure we can make your trip as safe as possible and adhere to social distancing guidelines we have capped group sizes at 12 instead of the usual 18-20.

We’ve put in revised health and safety procedures that cover you from the moment you arrive to the moment leave. All of our procedures are based on the FCO (Foreign Commonwealth Office) & WHO (World Health Organisation) guidelines. We’re dedicated to keeping you safe during your trip so as public health recommendations change, our policy will also evolve. We have been in close contact with all our hotel partners and are working with only partners who are taking the maximum amount of precautions when it comes to cleanliness and sanitation. All rooms will be deep cleaned before we check in.

Where possible, we are moving as much of our transport away from public buses & trains to private minibuses so we can control the environment as much as possible. There may be occasions where it is safe to use ferries or buses and when we do this we will ensure health & safety standards are being met as well as all government guidelines.

We understand you might want to take the extra precaution of having your own room for the trip so we are opening up the option to book a private room for your whole tour where available. You can talk to our crew to see what the options are for upgrading to this.
