“Greece and the Islands tour was an amazing experience!! The dinner at EatwithGK was one of the best meals and experiences I’ve had on a trip and a wonderful way to get to know my fellow travelers.
The whole trip was magnificent and I have to attribute a great deal of the experience to our guide, Magda. She made everyone feel welcomed on the trip. She has connections in each location that allowed us to live like VIPs. We had excellent transportation, amazing restaurant reservations, and she was always had an option for free time that was too great to pass up without ever pressuring anyone to join. I’m thankful to have had her as my guide for my first solo trip!
Maria, our Acropolis guide, was also wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. She timed the experience so we were able to visit the popular sites just before the rest of the tourists arrived.”
“This was my third Flash Pack trip, and I chose the Bali & Gili Islands adventure because I wanted to go away for my birthday and the itinerary looked like so much fun. It had a great mix of activities, which is exactly what I look for in a trip. I love getting out of my comfort zone and trying new things, and this trip definitely delivered!
What really surprised me about Bali is that there is genuinely something for everyone. Whether you want to relax by the beach, explore temples and waterfalls, climb a volcano at sunrise, or party into the early hours, Bali has it all. I honestly can't pinpoint my favourite part because I genuinely enjoyed every minute of it.
What truly made this trip special, though, was our guide, Yogi. He is an absolute gem and such a sweetheart. He made my birthday incredibly special, which I will never forget and am so grateful for. Yogi is knowledgeable, passionate about his country, and loves sharing Bali with the group. You can really see how much he cares, which makes the experience even better.
The best thing about Yogi is that he never felt like a tour guide. He felt more like a friend travelling with us. He has the best banter, kept everyone laughing, and made the whole trip feel relaxed, fun, and effortless.
I loved Bali so much that I actually extended my trip after the tour ended, and Yogi was incredibly helpful with recommendations on where to stay and what to do.
My advice? Book this trip and, if you can, add a few extra days at the end. You'll wish you had more time too!”
“Where to start? It was the most amazing trip and Flashpack are so lucky to have Rupert as their pack leader in the Philippines, he made the trip so special and everyone felt welcome. Nothing was too much for him and I think he added to the epic ness that was the Philippines. I’m sure I would have loved the experience either way but he was just that extra level that made this a trip to remember. I’ve done 6 flashpack trips and this one is now my new fave. All I can say is if you are on the fence- book! You won’t regret it and hopefully you get Rupert as your guide as well. So many highlights but the Guinto island experience is such a standout.”
“I gained a lot of life perspective from the groups and trips I have gone on so far over multiple years - really fun itineraries. Customer service before/during/after trip is great too.
Personally, I think they need to have more USA trips - I have a personal goal to visit all 50 states and think it'd be fun to do a lot of those trips via them”
“The cost of this trip did not reflect the quality of the accommodations or the excursions provided. I booked the Southern Italy trip and paid to upgrade to a single room. At the first hotel, every Flash Pack guest who had booked a single room was placed in a basement-level room that was outdated and had no air conditioning. Many of us felt the rooms were unacceptable and ended up paying an additional €400 out of pocket for a suitable room.
The second hotel was also disappointing. The property felt dated, the beds were old and uncomfortable, and it lacked the level of quality and luxury that had been advertised.
The excursions also failed to meet expectations. We were told we would have a private boat tour, but the boat was extremely small, everyone was packed shoulder-to-shoulder, and there were additional passengers onboard who were not part of the Flash Pack group. That did not feel like the private experience we had paid for.
Overall, I was very disappointed given the amount of money spent on this trip. The accommodations and excursions did not provide the value that was promised, and I cannot recommend this experience based on what I received.”
“My Flash Pack trip was truly one of the best two weeks of my life. From start to finish, it was the perfect balance of culture, history, adventure, and relaxation — every day felt thoughtfully planned while still allowing us to fully enjoy and experience each place.
What made the trip so unforgettable, though, were our guides, Hai and Chenda. They were everything you could hope for in guides: safe, professional, organized, knowledgeable, and absolutely hilarious. They made everyone feel comfortable from day one, handled every detail seamlessly, and somehow turned a group of strangers into a family by the end of the trip.
Their passion for sharing their countries, cultures, and stories made the experience feel so personal and authentic. I genuinely cannot thank them enough for the memories, laughs, and care they brought to every single day.
If you’re considering a Flash Pack trip — do it. This experience exceeded every expectation I had, and I will honestly remember these two weeks for the rest of my life.”
“I had an amazing time on my first Flashpack trip! I went to Morocco and the whole trip was very well organized and ran smoothly. They had a great balance of activities! Activities like desert ATV and surfing balanced with lower key activities like cooking classes and a Hammam. Our trip leader was great and kept everything running smoothly. Overall, I highly recommend a trip with Flashpack!!”
“First time in Portugal and first time with Flashpack. Rita, an experienced pack leader, was amazing and her passion showed through. Company is very responsive with communications before the trip. The app is ok but could be improved to provide suggestions for activities to travelers in the downtime. WhatsApp chat group was a great way to communicate before during and after the trip. Small group. Similar ages. Good mix of activities and down time. I would definitely recommend to others. Maybe a standard way to share selected photos with the group could be an improvement (other than WhatsApp)”
“I recently returned from a 10‑day Flash Pack adventure through South Africa, and I can say without hesitation that our tour guide Lucien was the heart of what made this trip unforgettable.
From the moment he greeted us at the airport, Lucien set the tone for the entire trip, warm, organized, and genuinely committed to making every traveler feel safe, supported, and excited for the journey ahead. His presence alone made the group feel instantly at ease.
What truly sets Lucien apart is his deep knowledge of South Africa, not just the major highlights but the hidden corners and local gems we never would have discovered on our own. Whether it was a tucked‑away viewpoint, a local eatery, or a cultural insight that brought a place to life, he consistently elevated every experience. His storytelling, historical context, and passion for his country added layers of meaning to each stop.
Throughout the entire trip, Lucien balanced professionalism with warmth. He anticipated needs before we voiced them, handled logistics seamlessly, and created an environment where everyone felt included and cared for. His leadership turned a group of strangers into a family.
Lucien embodies excellence, expertise, and heart and deserves to be recognized. He didn’t just guide us, he shaped a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. Thank you!”
“This was my first Flash Pack experience (CapeTown & the Garden Route) and it was great! It would have been nothing without our amazing trip leader, Lucian, who made us feel safe, explained historical significance, offered us options for things to do/places to see in our downtime and overall just brought the right energy to our group. We had a small group (4 people total), which was great and we all got along really well. The value for money was worth it to go to a bucket list destination!”
“I choose the Spectacular Peru trip. I have never done solo travel before, and this was a fantastic first time experience. It was very well organized, and I didn’t have to think about any of the logistics, (coordination of transportation, tickets for excursions, domestic flights, food, etc.) That was where a lot of the value was for me. But what took my experience above and beyond was my pack leader Joseph Pimentel. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about all of the cities and excursions that we did, but he was also an excellent proactive communicator. I loved that, as I found that he consistently prepared me for what to expect and didn’t feel like I was surprised or unprepared for each day. And finally, he was a a genuinely nice guy, and very easy to talk to. I think Joe has set a high bar for other Flash Pack leaders, if I have another opportunity to do another trip.”
“Just returned from my first ever Flash Pack trip to Bosnia Herzegovina & Montenegro and it was a fantastic experience!! I was a tad nervous about traveling with total strangers and especially rooming with one but it all turned out so well. It was amazing to travel with a group of lovely world travelers and my room mate turned out amazingly as well. We were like 2 peas in a pod!
Having traveled a lot on my own I was also worried about “group travel” and being locked into the itinerary. The itinerary and pacing were spot on. In my current very busy life, not having to plan anything but loving every day was an absolute dream. Were there tiny things I would have changed? Yes, but probably same or less so than when I bumbled through travels on my own.
Our guide Janko was a gem. He was funny, informative, accommodating, and a genuine pleasure to be around. Traveling around with someone who knows a lot about the region and culture definitly adds an element I wouldn’t have gotten traveling on my own.
A word on the destination: felt like an awesome blend of lesser- visited cities and breathtaking nature. If you love charcuterie, cheese, and bread - you will be in heaven!!! If you are a Vegetarian I think it might be a bit challenging. It was a region I probably wouldn’t have chosen on my own and it has me wanting to go back and also explore Albania and Romania”
“Just arrived back for my Exclusive Croatia trip with Flash Pack which I highly recommend. Our pack leader was Dario and he truly is the BEST, by far the best pack leader I have ever had. Kind, funny, outgoing, knowledgable and has a true love for his Croatia. He really takes the time to know everyone needs/wants and made the entire experience so much fun. Zagreb rafting and national park was so beautiful. Beach adventures in Split was out of this world. Dubrovnik was surreal with the old city and vibe. Dario took the time to get to know each person in our group and can tell he really cared about making sure everyone had the best experience.”
“This company is so fraudulent that it is disgusting. They sell you a trip, and then switch things last minute and hide behind their small print.
They sell an experience, and then significantly alter it. Once they have your money, don't expect them to reply to any emails.
Their trips are already overpriced as it is, but then they switch you to worse hotels and offer no sort of compensation. Selling a downtown property and then placing you by an airport... vastly different.
I called the advertised property and learned they very rarely use them. Even as I write this, that property is still being advertised.
Disgusting company. Cannot recommend literally anyone else enough over them.”
“Just came back from "Bali and Gili islands" trip and it was absolutely incredible.
Our guide, Yogi, was a rockstar, knowledgeable, helpful, kind, amazing photo taker, fun and so patient 😊
Water purification temple, prosecco after the grueling volcano climb and snorkeling in Gili islands were some of my favorites.
The tour was packed with fun, adventure but also plenty of pool, cocktails and massages time.”
“I just completed the “Best of Morocco” trip and it was incredible. The itinerary by itself is amazing - seeing so much of Morocco (without having to think or plan at all), the camel trek, sandboarding on the dunes, the motorcycle sidecar ride - I could go on for ever. The real highlight, however, was our guide, Ismail. Ismail took a good trip and made it excellent. He was fun, informative, funny, helpful, and so proactive. We never had any hiccups on the trip, despite being almost 2 weeks. That just means that Ismail *handled* the hiccups so expertly that the group never saw them. I’d gladly take another Flashpack trip, and I’d 100% recommend Ismail as a guide.”
“I have so far gone on 5 trips with them (Costa Rica, Colombia, Chile, Peru, and Slovenia/Croatia) and have had great experiences each time both with the responsiveness of their customer service and their designated pack leaders. Would definitely recommend for people looking to solo travel with a tour agency! Have done 5 trips and now ready for my 6th :)”
“Our Vietnam and Cambodia trip was thoughtfully organised and each activity meticulously chosen. The cherry on top was having expert, passionate guides in both countries (Hai in Vietnam and Chenda in Cambodia).”
“The Vietnam and Cambodia tour with Flashpack was my first time doing any kind of guided travel. It was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. Our pack leaders (Hai and Chenda) truly made the trip special and taught us so much about the history and culture of the two countries. The trip was a great mix of adventure, learning, relaxation, and fun. I would 100% recommend Flashpack and plan to travel with them again!”
