Sourabh Thakur2024-10-23I’ve been on a few group tours with other operators, and my trip to Vietnam was my first with Trips N Tales. It was a no-hassle experience, start to finish. The boutique hotels were of a good quality, and our itinerary comprised of different experiences including history, adventures, local experiences and much more! Add in a wonderful group of 20 and 30somethings I now call friends, and I’m one happy traveler. I will definitely be booking with Trips n Tales again!Sourabh Thakur2024-10-23I highly recommend tnt for curious travelers who enjoy going to the source to learn about new cultures and love meeting like-minded people.

Our trip leader Aditi is a chill person, she enjoys with you and takes care of you in the best possible way. I made a bery close friend & that’s her. The off beat places khao sok, cheow lan lake were just heaven. I strongly recommend travelling with trips n tales, their itinerary, accommodations are all just perfect.Namita Verma2024-10-06We took this awesome trip to Thailand. Went to Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi, and some offbeat places like Khao sok & Cheow lan. Such a memorable trip. We partied, we talked for hours, danced on streets. Pleasant stays and transfers provided by T&T. Would highly recommend them . And the cherry on top was our tour guide Aditi, she’s amazing. We vibed so hard, we have found a friend for life. Thanks guys ♥️Divya Lilhare2024-10-05I just completed the Turkey trip and I can’t say enough good things about the amazing time I had. The group was wonderful and our trip leader was simply the best. She was on top of everything and made travel easy for the group. The itinerary is a good balance of activities and free time which I really enjoyed. I was able to do my own exploring and nerd out on history while others got to do their own things. So glad I added a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, it’s a must when you are there! I had done one prior group trip with a different company that didn’t go very well, but this was completely different and I will do Trips n tales again without hesitation. Totally worth it!
