Specifically, a few participants reported encountering substandard hotel accommodations, unexpected logistical meltdowns, and poorly organized itineraries during certain legs of the journey.
Auto-generated from all reviews of this business. For reference only.our group. we had a nice bunch of people on this trip. Danielle is great, and our guide was amazing!!!! will be traveling with them again
We’re so glad to hear you had such a wonderful group experience! It’s great that Danielle and your Guide made the trip so memorable. Thank you for traveling with us, can't wait to see where you go next!
The host, Garrett Ryan, was outstanding in his knowledge of the tour contents including the history of the sites we were to see. Hotels, buses, and tour company representative Byron could not have been better. The trip is for active, interested people who will definitely be rewarded for their efforts. Would I take this trip again? Sure.
Thank you, Roy! We’re happy to hear you had such a rewarding experience, and that Garrett and Byron helped make the trip so memorable. Can't wait for your next adventure!
Overall the trip to South Africa (Oct. 18-26, 2025) was great. The activities were great. The host, the guide, and the driver were all fabulous! It was clear communication prior to the trip. I was very informed about what was to happen on a daily basis. It was a great variety of planned activities the whole trip. It would be difficult to plan such a variety on your own. The only problem was there was no refund for portions of your trip. I.e. I booked the hotel an extra night a day early and lost that money because I had a flight delay.
Thank you, Jennifer! We’re so glad to hear you had a great time in South Africa and enjoyed the variety of activities and support from your Host, Guide, and driver! Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback about the refund policy, we truly appreciate it and will keep it in mind as we continue improving. We hope to see you on another adventure soon!
This was a scammy, exhausting, and deeply disappointing experience. The Eat & Explore China trip (Oct 12–19, 2025) wasn’t a cultural deep dive - it was a logistical meltdown with bad hotels, skipped activities, and a side of food poisoning risk. We paid over $1,800 per person for what was sold as an “authentic food and culture journey.” What we got was a low-budget, mass-market tour that didn’t even follow its own itinerary. Beijing: Where it all started to fall apart Couples were given rooms with separate beds in a rundown tourist bunker. Promised experiences were either canceled or executed at warp speed. The “dumpling workshop and lunch with a local family”? A thinly veiled tourist trap serving food no one could eat. Meals were so poorly organized that our group joked we were on a “starvation tour.” Even our influencer host admitted that cramming Beijing into 2.5 days was absurd - especially when half the advertised activities were replaced with optional, extra-cost tours. Xi’an: From disappointment to disaster The hotel in Xi’an made Beijing look like the Ritz. Mold on the walls, a smell that could wake the dead, and safety issues everywhere. My wife has a mold allergy and had a breakdown just walking into the room. After complaining, Trova’s solution was peak corporate empathy: “take it or leave it.” They offered an “upgraded” room that was just as filthy, so we ended up paying for a new hotel ourselves. Other travelers weren’t luckier — one found toenails in their room. The next day’s “included bike tour” featured broken bikes with missing pedals and snapped chains. It wasn’t just bad - it was unsafe. The Aftermath TrovaTrip offered a $300 refund per person. That’s not compensation - it’s a tip for surviving. The stress, the health risks, the wasted time - it’s not even close to being covered. We expected a well-organized, food-forward cultural trip. What we got was chaos, poor communication, and constant problem-solving. To be blunt: this was a total rip-off. You’d have a far better (and safer) experience booking everything yourself and hiring local guides. TrovaTrip sells adventure. What they delivered was amateur hour.
I had a lot of fun on the trip! It was easy to use the app, I liked being able to check the itinerary so fast. Our Bali host was knowledgeable and kind, did a great job. Our Canadian host made it fun and encouraged us to try new things, it was impossible not to have fun with Linda. Would definitely choose to do another one. What I didn’t like was the trova trip recommended car transfer company, I had 3 different drivers messaging me, zero confirmation from the company when I asked for clarification, the driver that did show up at the airport was taking photos and videos of me at the airport which was super weird and a red flag. He wanted to take me to get a sim instead of my hotel. I said no but he asked twice. Thankfully my friends plane landed and I had him wait for them so I would feel safe on the drive. And then he continued to WhatsApp for 3 days wanting to take me places. Super inappropriate and scary.
My Triva Trip to Bali was amazing. The food, the people, the resort, the activities, I loved it all. I didn’t care for the waterfall, it was smelly and not so clean, but other than that, I had a wonderful time.
Thank you, Linase! We’re so glad you loved your Bali trip and all the experiences it had to offer. We really appreciate your honest feedback about the waterfall, it helps us keep improving for future Travelers.
We joined the Eat & Explore China trip (Oct 12–19, 2025) and unfortunately it was one of the worst travel experiences we’ve ever had. The itinerary was not followed, the hotels were unacceptable, and we constantly had to solve problems on our own instead of enjoying the trip. In Beijing, couples were put in rooms with separate beds, the hotel was a low-budget tourist bunker, and several promised activities were canceled or rushed — for example, the “dumpling workshop and lunch with a local family” turned out to be a tourist trap with inedible food. We often went without proper meals for hours (our group described it as "starvation", which is absolutely correct!), spent most days exhausted and even sick, and had no free time to explore the city. Also we only had 2,5 days in Beijing and even the host said, that this does not make any sense due to all the activities and the size of Beijing. Everything food related where optional tours, we had to pay extra for. In Xi’an, things got even worse: the hotel was dirty, moldy, and unsafe. I have a mold allergy and had a breakdown after seeing the room. We had to find and pay for a new hotel ourselves. Other travelers also complained — one even found toenails in their room. The next day, the included bike tour used completely broken bikes with snapped chains and falling pedals — a real safety hazard. The trip was planned for over 4 days in Xi'An, so most of the trip, which does not make sense at all. Although TrovaTrip later offered a $300 refund per person, that doesn’t begin to cover the stress, health risk, and missing experiences. We paid over $1,800 per person for what turned out to be a low-quality mass tour that didn’t match the advertised “Eat & Explore” experience at all. We expected an authentic food and culture trip with proper organization and comfort — instead, we got chaos, poor communication, and constant disappointment. Definitely not worth the price or the brand reputation TrovaTrip claims to have. To be honest: this is a total rip off and you will have a better trip, if you book everything yourself and just hire local guides!!!
My experience was made great due to how organized and well planned our trip was thanks to our tour guide Ahmed Fawzy and host Two Guys on a Plane! This trip was fun and very educational. I definitely recommend Trova Trip to anyone looking for a great adventure!
Thank you, Caroline! We’re so glad to hear your trip was both fun and educational! It sounds like Ahmed and your Hosts made everything seamless and memorable. Thanks so much for recommending TrovaTrip, we’re thrilled you had such a great adventure!
The trip was well organized. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable. I will do this type of vacation again.
We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your trip! It’s wonderful that your Guide’s knowledge made the experience even better. Excited to see where you go next!
I’ve been on 3 great trips with Trova (Switzerland, Egypt, and Mexico) and appreciate their attention to detail and customer support!
Thank you for trusting us not just once, but three times with your trips, it truly means a lot! We’re so happy our attention to detail and support helped make each adventure special. Can't wait to see where you go next!
I thought I already wrote out my review, but I just received a request to write it again. So I’m a bit confused! But it was 100% five stars all around. Josh was an amazing host! Our guide, Hulu was fantastic. Accommodations were great and I really loved all of the activities. There were a couple of provided meals that I thought could’ve been improved on, but for the most part, they were fantastic.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear Josh and Hulu made your trip so memorable and that you enjoyed the accommodations and activities. We appreciate your feedback on the meals and will keep it in mind for future trips!
Hulu our guide made the trip very interesting by teaching us about the culture and people of Bali. When one of the planed excursions was closed because of flooding he seamlessly found us an alternative. As the oldest in the groups he spend extra time with me and went above and beyond to ensure I enjoyed Bali.
Thank you, Chuck! We’re so glad to hear that your Guide Hulu made your Bali trip so special. It’s wonderful that he went above and beyond, shared his knowledge, and made sure you enjoyed every moment, even when plans had to change. Hope to travel with you again soon!
I love traveling with Emily and KristaLyn! The groups are so enthusiastic and engaging.
Thank you for your kind words, we’re so happy you had such a fun time. It’s wonderful that the group’s energy made the trip even more memorable!
Had an amazing time visiting the French Riviera. We had a great guide who was so knowledgeable and fun to be with. Had an incredible time and made new friends
Thank you! We’re happy to hear you had an amazing trip and that you were able to make new friends along the way. We're excited to see where you go next!

Thank you, Robin. A great Guide makes adventures extra special!
Loved my trip, host and guide!
Thank you! We’re happy to hear you loved your trip. Excited to see where you go next!
What made this trip exceptional was our tour guide Ahmed! He went above and beyond every single day. The knowledge that he had about his country far exceeded our expectations. It was like getting a history, lesson each and every day from your favorite teacher!
We’re so glad to hear that your Guide made your trip exceptional! It sounds like his knowledge, passion, and dedication brought each day to life. Thank you for your kind review!
Our host and in-country guide contributed the most to my trip rating of five stars. Their knowledge of the area along with the guides ability to interact and negotiate with locals was priceless. This was especially so when the group decided we wanted a change in the itinerary. Changes occurred due to local events, weather or other unforeseen/uncontrollable circumstances were navigated with ease to accommodate the group.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad to hear your Host and Guide made such a big impact on your trip! It sounds like their knowledge, flexibility, and ability to navigate unexpected changes helped make your experience seamless and memorable. Excited to see where you go next!
The best way to bring like minded people together!
Thank you, Logan. We couldn’t agree more! Trips like these are such a great way to connect with like-minded people and make lasting memories.
