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!

 

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!

Luki’s 10 day Bali Experience
The 10 day Bali Experience Tour was incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to Luki. As my first group tour and first time travelling, I couldn’t have asked for a better leader. He made everyone feel welcome straight away and created such a fun, relaxed group atmosphere. Everything was organised perfectly, his recommendations were always amazing, and he genuinely cared about everyone having the best time. Luki brought the best energy every day and made the whole experience unforgettable…
