Flash Pack Omdömen 1 520

Simply amazing from start to finish. Rupert and Ray the pack leaders were kind, helpful, made us feel seen and safe all along the way. The boat cruiser team including Bert were also amazing and would highly recommend Bert to become a pack leader to. Everything ran like clockwork and constantly made us laugh! One of the best holidays and experiences of my life and that was mainly to do with how well our leaders and group tours were organised! Met some great people
On the trip who I will definitely want to meet up with in the near future.

I had the most amazing time with Flash Pack in Vietnam and Cambodia.
The itinery was fully of great experiences, the Vietnam part seemed to be particularly packed, it chilled out a little by the time we got to Cambodia, which was great as the heat there was fairly intense, but the hotel we stayed in in Siem Reap was the perfect place to chill (by the pool).
Both countries were beautiful, and the guides showed great knowledge and enthusiasm when showing us around.
The food was also amazing, and the group I was with was perfect. We all arrived as strangers and left as great friends.
I will definetly travel with Flash Pack again!

I went on the Vietnam & Cambodia trip and it was incredible. The land, the culture, the sights & the sounds - all amazing. Our guides were brilliant and made the trip, Hai and James (our guides) were brilliant and really made the trip

First time doing a group tour / solo travel experience. Absolutely fantastic. Slightly concerned to book again in case it's not as good the second time (though absolutely will be booking again). Our Vietnamese tour guide, Hai, was a highlight of the trip. So knowledgable, friendly, considerate and bonus points for being a comedian. Thanks Flash Pack for a great induction into the world of solo group travel.

The experience was quite memorable from start to finish. The itinerary, wonderful people I met, and our pack leader Kamil were all perfect! Kamil did an amazing job keeping everyone engaged.

I arrived solo and returned with 11 new friends! Our leader was amazing, everything was well organised and the balance between activities and free time good.

Having completed a couple of previous trips with Flashpack, it was a no brainer to join another one given the great experiences I have had with Flashpack. Bali has long been on my list to visit, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to go. What a joy the trip was from start to finish, the itinerary is great with a good balance between activities and free time. The group itself was filled with like minded individuals, we met as strangers and we have left as friends. The trip was made even more enjoyable by our guide Yogi. He didn’t miss a beat and went over and above to ensure everyone was happy, helping arrange additional activities for some of the group and even helped us out after the trip had ended. We had such a great driver also in Koman who’s driving skills were incredible on the busy streets of Bali. I can’t recommend Flashpack enough!

Amazing first experience with Flash Pack on the Philippines trip. Everything was thought of, and communicated well and there was a great mix of activities, unique experiences and down time, and the accommodation we stayed in were also great. The guides Rupert and Rey were both fantastic, kind caring and positive, and made sure we were having fun but also informed about what was coming up.
I was nervous about travelling with people I had never met but we all got to know each other really quickly and gelled as a group of new friends.
If you're looking to travel with a group of like mined people and see and do things that will create life long memories I highly recommend Flash Pack.

My first trip with FlashPack was a dream!
Good communication before booking, answered all of my questions. Thoughtful questionnaire sent to aid matching roommates which worked really well in reality, I was matched with a great person.. both early risers and fairly tidy! Trip was well organised by the pack leader, we were treated really well by other staff who were involved in the delivery of the trip. Absolutely nothing negative about the experience! Would highly recommend FlashPack. . Only slight drawback is the high price tag

My first trip with flashpack, was excited and apprehensive but all that I experienced was pure joy and comfort. They did an amazing job from pickup until helping us get a ride back to airport. Perfect planning with a great balance between adventures and relaxation... I am truly glad I opted for this travel package.

Yogi, our pack leader was fun, kind, thorough and accommodating, he has set the bar so high for all future trips.

I'm a little concerned that I might have picked the most amazing trip right out of the gate for my first Flash Pack and that any other experience will fall short because of the bar set by this trip.

The itinerary included a combination of activities designed to showcase Bali's beauty while incorporating culture and community. Everything felt more personal and allowed you to also see how traveling to Bali benefited the local people. If you asked me to choose a favorite day or favorite activity it would be impossible.

All of this was made possible by our amazing guide, Yogi, and our dedicated driver, Komang. Together they went above and beyond helping us plan additional outings during free time, creating unique and personal experiences at the activities, and always giving of their time and energy.

The last element was the other travelers - all were similar age and with similar experiences and we got along really well. The small size gave us the ability to connect and we have left our adventure as friends.

I don't think I could have asked for a better experience. The only complaint is that is simply went too fast!

First time Flashpacker here and I am already searching for my next trip. I loved every minute of it and I’m so glad I chose Bali and the Gili Islands as my first adventure. From the moment I met Wayan at the airport to the last day that I said goodbye to Yogi, I felt safe and taken care of. I have been wanting to visit Bali for over a decade and after raising my babies and establishing stability, I decided that I was going to do something big for my 40th and Bali was where I wanted to be to welcome in a new decade. Who would have thought that spending my 40th with strangers was going to be hands down the BEST birthday I have ever had? Not me, that’s for sure. My travel mates and Yogi made it unforgettable and I felt so loved even after just meeting these wonderful people. From Day 2 being welcomed into another Wayans family house and sharing a meal and a blessing with them til day Day 11 at surf lessons and an amazing city tour in a VW Thing (yes that’s what the car is called) was the best planned and executed trip ever. Multiple beautiful temple visits, meditation and prayer, swimming in the waterfall with a picnics lunch and the best sambal tomat, learning the culture, aerial yoga, village cooking class, annihilating Mt. Batur, amazing pictures at Heavens Gate, snorkeling on Gili Island, BBQ seafood dinner, and our farewell dinner was amazing. I came to Bali looking for a nice balance of activities and connecting to my spiritual side and learning to accept, flow, and smile and that is EXACTLY what I received. The purification ceremony is so near and dear to my heart and was such an amazing way to let go of the sadness and connect with my ancestors to know I was on the right path. This trip was my first big trip since my dad was killed by a drunk driver and it was exactly what I needed to work on finding forgiveness and accepting my grief. The Balinese people are amazing, kind, and are connected to their spirituality and have taught me so much about myself and being a better person. I can’t recommend this trip enough to anyone wanting to experience a little bit of everything that Bali has to offer.
And Yogi Bear 😊 don’t get me started on what an amazing man and guide he really is. He is so knowledgeable about Balinese culture, answers all of your questions, he’s passionate about Flashpack and takes the best care of all of his flashpackers like family. And his photo taking skills are unmatched….I have some of the best photos I’ve ever taken because of him. He’s funny, caring, thoughtful and really has a heart of gold (he quietly bought ice cream for two little girls selling fans on the street without being asked and we wouldn’t have known had we not glanced over at him and saw, now that is a caring man). No offense to any other guides but I think Yogi will always have a special place in my heart. His soul is beautiful and I’m very grateful for him and how safe he made us all feel. You NEED to come to Bali just to meet Yogi honestly. You won’t be disappointed. He made sure we got to do all the things we wanted to while here and even found us a healer and palm reader for a few of us to partake in.
And Coman (not sure if it’s how you spell his name) was the best driver EVER! That man is an expert and can maneuver that van like a pro. I have PTSD from a bad car accident and not once did I feel unsafe as his passenger and there’s not many people that I can and will say that about.
I really can’t say enough good things about my experience and I leave with no regrets. I will definitely be back to Bali as I’m sure I’ve left a piece of my heart here. If you’re hesitant about being a first timer, do the Bali and Gili Islands and let Yogi and Coman take care of you. You won’t be disappointed…and honestly if you are disappointed then YOU probably did something wrong and didn’t embrace the opportunities that Bali has for you.

Just came back from my first trip with Flash Pack to Sri Lanka and it was a really great experience. The itinerary was well planned, with a good mix of activities and local, traditional experiences that made the trip feel authentic. The hotels were beautiful throughout. There are some long drives, so it’s worth being prepared for that, but it’s also what allows you to see a large part of the country. I was also lucky to be part of a lovely group, which made the experience even more memorable! A big highlight was our local guide, Suranga, very knowledgeable about history and culture, always supportive, and genuinely attentive to the group. It wouldn’t have been the same traveling independently! Overall, a very positive experience and I would definitely consider traveling with Flash Pack again.

Everything was perfect - the hotel, the itinerary and the people I met. Our tour guide, Kamil, was amazing. He was fun, informative and really made us feel welcome. I would even argue that he was the highlight of the trip!

The Portugal trip was fantastic, and it all started with our tour guide Sonia. She was 10/10! Sh really cared and was so through with everything, I enjoyed my time so much with her. The events chosen were awesome, some I never would have picked myself. Surfing, baking and more was great. Can’t say enough, 10/10 will do another!

I'm just back from a wonderful adventure in Vietnam and Cambodia with Flash Pack. Having been to Sri Lanka with Flash Pack two years ago and having an incredible experience I was a little nervous about how it could match that but in everyway it did.
I had a superb group, everyone blended really well and I've left with friends for life I hope with meet ups already planned.

The trip itself was superb. It's certainly action packed so if you're hoping for regular downtime this isn't the trip for you. We ended feeling pretty exhausted but in the best possible way after touring two countries and two internal flights in 13 days. You will always wish to have slightly longer in places but see this trip as a taster and you won't be disappointed. I personally feel everything was great and wouldn't change anything about the trip. Highlights for me were the Vespa ride around Ho Chi Min City which was such a thrill and the beauty of HoiAn but, as with FlashPack trips, the really special moments and memories come from the laugher and the people along the way.

I need to call our our Vietnam guide Hai- he was absolutely exceptional. Full of fun, guidance, care and always willing to answer every question we had. He made Vietnam so special for us, always made us feel safe and I know the trip wouldn't have been half as good without him. If you have him as you guide count your lucky stars!

Had a great experience in Vietnam! Our guide Hoang Le was nothing short of amazing!! Very knowledgeable, fun and kept everything well organised. Highly recommend!!!

This is the first time I used FlashPack and had a wonderful time. The pack leaders Hai and Sarou were both fantastic and looked out for the whole group. They both went above and beyond for us all and still enjoyed a beer with us! All the places we went to were great and the guides made it more enjoyable. Started out with the rural places in North Vietnam and worked out way down to Ho Chi Minh City. For me Ha Long bay, boat rides and the rice field trek were probably the faves. Then onto Cambodia to see the amazing temples, Angkor Wat was simply amazing as well as the other ancient temples.
Food was also delicious.
Trip was packed with a lot of activities, but there were a few resting afternoons for us to catch our breath. Clearly a lot to do! But the guides had a good sense of humour and even with the early mornings we still had a blast.
All in all a very good experience and would love to do it again!

I have just done the Secret Vietnam trip which was my first Flashpack. It was a great introduction to my first time in Asia. The activities were great, a real mix of culture, history, food and fun. Everything was so well organised, we didnt have to worry about a thing. The hotels and the junk boat were all lovely. Our pack leader Hoang was amazing. I love how passionate he about his country. His passion and enthusiasm is infectious.
I am 53 and joined a group in the age range 35-49. In hindsight, I should probably have gone with an older age group; not because of the activities or pace, but for better group dynamics and integration. The group were all lovely but they were mostly all over 10 years younger than me so I did feel old!
I would definitely recommend Flashpack and would do another one in the future.

Just returned from my second Flash Pack trip.
This time to Vietnam.
Previously I'd been to Chile & Patagonia and had the very best time.
Once again the Flash Pack experience was excellent.
Our group leader Hoang Lee was absolutely amazing. He was kind, patient, helpful, organised, funny and passionate about his country. He was a delight to spend 10 days with - thank you.
The itinerary, activities, food and accommodation were great. The trip was fast paced, though some of this was self-inflicted - there was sufficient time to relax if you wanted.

I swithered about including this next part in my review but the group of fellow travellers you find yourself with can make or break a trip like this.
I made some very good friends although I felt this particular group didn't gel nearly as well as my previous one, which I'm sure is due, in part, to the fact that half the people had a connection to someone else.
I know FP encourages solo travel. Whilst some friendships/couples have been a positive delight on this and my previous trip, I think the more there are, the more impact this has on the group dynamics.

Overall I had the best time and I am already planning my next adventure with Flash Pack!
