Oner, you were incredible. There was not a moment on this trip whereby I felt unsure of where we were headed. The laughter, drinks and overall vibe were incredible. It was a pleasure to have the duo of yourself and Monk leading this group. I hope to come back to Bali soon and see you both soon. Thank you again, Archie

Monk was an incredible, charastmatic, competent and fun leader. Couldn't ask anymore and he created a fantastic vibe for the tour. Oner is a kind, helpful guide. No doubt will get more confident as he completes more tours and more personality, humour and fun will come out. I would recommend for Oner to speak louder when he does group speeches because it can be very difficult to hear in loud bars and restaurants. Thank you both, combined it was the best experience!!

Oner and Monk were amazing! I had a surfing accident to my hand and they both made sure I got to hospital and looked out for me each day to make sure how my hand was doing! All the activities were great! We were told in advance the night before the plans for each day so it was great to see the plans a day in advance! I would have liked a few more stops on the boat journey as the first day sailing was long so a few more stops on the first day would have been great. Overall, my experience with TruTravels was amazing and I would definitely love to do another tour!

An amazing experience with Monk and Oner over our 18 day trip! I will say that Monk made the trip and you can see that he is well-versed in hosting groups and being the life and soul of the party. I felt completely safe in both Oner and Monks hands and felt that they were excited by having guests on the trip. Overall I would recommend them both as tour guides for the trip!

All good Monk was great Oner needs to have more confidence and work on his English. If it was just Oner leading I would have been disappointed

Monk and Oner were absolutely amazing, and really made this a trip to remember! They were both so helpful and had our backs in every situation! The Bali and Beyond tour was absolutely amazing, with lots of time on the beaches and exploring the local culture and nature! If waterfalls, sunrises and beaches are for you, book this trip!

Monk- amazing at hosting the group, really got involved in the activities and was always very good at offering advice where needed. Always put us before himself and made sure we were all safe and having a good time Oner- always put us first in main thing our safety and always added a joke in the mix! You’ll go very far Oner just have a bit more confidence in yourself but that’ll come with time. I feel monk and Oner got on so well which was lovely to see as it lightened the mood when we were maybe a bit tired I have thoroughly enjoyed this trip and I am very happy to be part of this tour. I will make sure I tell everyone how much of an amazing time I had. I will definitely travel with tru travels again. Thankyou for an amazing experience!!

Oner and Monk were great on the trip, always helpful, cheerful and keeping us entertained with their jokes! They created a great vibe on the trip and were always there to help us with anything we needed big and small. As a team they were awesome and super knowledgeable, I always felt like I was in good hands and they did so much in the background to make the trip smooth and enjoyable! Loved every second!

Monk: A really fun tour leader, was very helpful with any questions and always tried his best to find the answer or ensure we were all happy. Couldn't ask for anything more from a tour guide. Oner: A really lovely tour guide, tried his best with everything and always ensured everyone was included. As he is early in his career, he is still learning and lacks a bit of confidence, however I think with a bit more experience he will make a great leader

Oner did a great job for his first time leading a tour. Extremely friendly and approachable, always has time for you. The only thing that could improve slightly is his English speaking and loudness talking to the whole group. Monk is obviously a very experienced guide and is the most friendly, outgoing and energetic person you could possibly hope to have hosting your trip. He really made the three weeks so memorable. But I don't think you need me to tell you that, I'm sure he gets amazing feedback from everyone on his tours!

This is my second trip with Tru Travels and Luki has been my fourth tour guide. Overall Luki had been THE BEST tour guide I have ever had. Luki is amazing at his job and knew what he was doing and that was evident in his work. Luki knew how to have a good time and get the group going and contributing properly in activities even when proven difficult by some of the members on the tour. When having free time Luki always had great recommendations on places and activities. Luki always kept us safe and had our backs on a night out which made us girls feel so safe. Looking back on my trip to Indonesia I have gained a friend and that friend is Luki!

This is my 4th TruTravels tour and I can honestly say Luki was the BEST tour guide I’ve had!! He was so much fun and made everyone feel included. He’s clearly very happy with his job and it shows in his work. He went above and beyond for everyone. Big thanks to Luki for everything and making an unforgettable trip that much better!!
