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.

We got to see lots of temples, take part in Japanese culture and understand so much more about the history of this beautiful country. I loved the sushi making workshop and temple stay in particular. We stayed in pretty decent accommodation for the whole trip- as someone with some travel anxiety and previous experience with bedb…

12 day legends of Japanā€¦
I went on the 12 day legends of Japan and our guide was called Morgan and he was absolutely fantastic. Morgan is a gentleman and made sure everyone in the group was happy and safe at all times. It is very evident that he is passionate about his job and is very well versed in the history and culture of Japan. I felt I got to see so much more because of this tour rather than if I had come here on my own. 10/10 experience!!
