Group travel is an adventure where all the boring admin and planning stuff is removed from the equation. How cool is that!? This just leaves you simply enjoying the ride and having the best time! 🥳

Have you ever been to visit a friend in a different city or country and they’ve taken you to all the best local quirky spots that you’d definitely not found on your own? Well, we are your new best friend and that’s exactly what to expect on a group trip. We have legendary people behind the scenes who know these places inside out and back to front. You’ll get to see the best of the best without wasting time and money, as our reviews say you’ll literally have ‘the time of your life’.

Being able to put all that stress and time into the hands of the professionals is worth its weight in gold. Here is everything that makes group travel so awesome, and what you can expect…with us at least anyway! 🙌🏼

Fun, easy hassle-free travel 🌴

Group travel is all about letting other people handle the mundane admin, leaving you to reap all the rewards. Once you click Book Now all that’s left is to sit and wait for the good times to come! You do have to book your flights and travel insurance, but compared to the amount of planning a trip usually takes that’s nothing. No need to worry about researching the best places, where to stay, what to do and where to eat. It’s one click and then sit back and relax. Best part? You’re guaranteed to have a bunch of other awesome adventurers along for the ride!

Pro Tip: Book early to avoid missing out... the trips fill up super FAST. It's not uncommon for some dates to be full upto 6 months ahead of time 😬

Destinations 📍

The way we run our trips is pretty unique and it’s true that we take away all the planning but nothing can take away from the incredible destinations we visit. We currently have tours in Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Australia. Every single one of these locations is typically at the top of most adventure-seekers bucket lists, and for good reason!

Combine 2 or more trips to save money and time. Usually the day 1 tour finishes is the day 1 tour begins. Slide into the DMs and chat to the crew to find out more!

Make friends for life 😃

How do we know you’re guaranteed to make a bunch of new mates on tour with us? That’s the easy part! Anyone else booking is typically just like you – another young traveller looking for the perfect balance of culture, adventure, chill time and party nights out. People on our tours are typically aged between 18-39 and it’s a mixture of individuals, couples and friends.

From the moment you arrive everything becomes super easy and you’ll bond with your new travel buddies at a record speed. What’s even better is the fact that it’s completely effortless. After a few drinks on the first night, you’ll feel like you’ve known each other for a lifetime! Before long it’s you and a bunch of your new best mates all travelling around having an incredible time together 🍻.

It can be tough saying goodbye at the end of the trip, but always remember it can be a “see you later!” instead. Most of the groups are already planning their renuion trip even before the trip has ended 😆

Solo travellers, friends and couples are welcome 🙌🏼

All are welcome with open arms! Having a solid balance of couples, friends and solo travellers will only add to the experience. If you’re trying your hardest to get some friends to join you on the trip of your dreams, but can’t make them budge, then jump in with us! Equally, if you and a few friends all want to visit Vietnam but don’t want to plan it all then why not jump in too? 🤷🏽 Our group sizes range from 12-16 travellers with some topping out at 18, so there is plenty of room for everybody 😃

The best of both worlds 😉

You’ll find the vibe of a hostel, the energy of a backpacking adventure, and the comfort of a holiday with accommodation that will leave you sharing everything on your IG stories! What’s even better is the fact we plan the itinerary to give you time to enjoy that swimming pool with a view or even some chilled nights in that comfy bed with your roomie. We have the planning down to fine art which means you will accomplish a lot while still finding time to rest & relax along the way!

Our trips in Asia are all hotel style accommodation with 2 people per room. That can either be with another solo traveller (of the same sex) or your friend/partner who you come with!

Eat all the best food 🥢

Food can sometimes be the icing on the cake or the downfall of any trip. You don’t want to get ill and spoil what precious time you have in such beautiful countries, do you?! We make sure you get to eat incredible local food at the best spots while still getting a real taste of the country you’re in. You can find a lot of Pad Thai in Thailand, but some places are better than others… and we know which ones are the BEST! 😋

Cooking classes are the most underrated experience and definetely a highlight on almost all our trips. It's the perfect mix of food and local personalities (well it is with us anyway 🥰).

Local connections 🙏🏼

Who knows places better than the people that grew up there? Nobody! All the research in the world pales in comparison to someone who knows the spots locals don’t want tourists to find out about. The local friends we’ve made over the years know exactly what our travellers want and come to expect. Rest assured you won’t just have the knowledge of your Group Leader but our local guides and friends also!

Why not learn some awesome key words and phrases from the local tour guides? You'll be surpised how much a friendly

Why not learn some awesome key words and phrases from the local tour guides? You’ll be surpised how much a friendly “sawadee ka” means to a local street food vender. If you learn a little of the lingo you might get preferencial treatment 🍻

Awesome nights out 💃

What makes a party so memorable and great? Having a bunch of friends there with you all having the best night! A group trip is guaranteed good times, well that’s if you decide to come with us anyway 🤪. You’ll not only see a whole bunch of incredible places by day but also party hard at night if that’s what you’re looking for.

We’re definitely not a party trip but we do like to squeeze in a few solid party nights throughout the trip to give everyone the chance to get a little tipsy. We make sure you’re safe, you get to have the time of your life, and as they say… ain’t no party like a Feel Free party! 🥳

Achieve way more ☀️

If you’re travelling around Thailand, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka in about 2 weeks then be prepared for some busy days… but you want to see it all right? Who knows when you’ll be back!? We are guilty of packing a lot into our trips but we do that to ensure we regret NOTHING and give you all the time of your lives! Plus you didn’t book this trip to sit by the pool all day. But rest assured it’s not all go go go, as I mentioned previously there’s downtime planned in the places you’ll want (and need) it most. There is heaps of planning and organisation that goes into each day… it really is amazing what you can achieve in a day with even just a little structure!

Hidden gems & secret stops 🤫

As expected we do visit the infamous Khao San Road in Bangkok, and Beer Street in Hanoi…they’re super fun! Alongside those regular tourist spots, we use local expertise to give you a glimpse into the real parts of the destination. There are secluded islands and beach stops, cooking classes and tours that many would miss out on without that local knowledge. We always keep a few tricks up our sleeve to keep the tours fresh and most importantly FUN! 🙌🏼

Flexible payment options 🤸🏾‍♂️

Numbers aren’t the most interesting thing, but having flexible payment options at your fingertips is awesome news for you! Rather than you having to pay for your flights, insurance, hotels and activities upfront you can pay us as little as £1 and book your trip today! If you have been daydreaming about a trip to Sri Lanka but just don’t have the money yet then you can book it with us now and pay later…how awesome is that? We have different payment options to suit all needs 🤩

We are upfront about the costs, there are no hidden fees and our payment options are interest free! When we say something costs that much, that's what you pay. We NEVER suddenly change the price 💰.

You'll find Matt hopping around the islands of Indonesia fuelled by coconuts and smoothie bowls. He's one of the travel writers here at Feel Free Travel and when he's not getting creative he's out exploring on 2 wheels or testing his skills out on the surf (usually being barrelled over). At weekends Matt will be sipping on Bintang's while catching up with the latest premier league action!
