Hi Ada, thank you so much — we love the 'by accident' to 'highly recommend' arc 😄 So glad it all came together. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Maria, thank you so much! Tea ceremonies done well are such a quiet, lovely afternoon — meditation, peacefulness, good tea, a small group. We're so glad it landed. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi, thank you so much — finding trustworthy local companies is harder than it should be when you're travelling, and that's exactly the gap we try to fill. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Alicja, thank you so much! Booking months in advance for Komodo is always a good shout — peak times can get tight. So glad the crew and the guide brought the trip to life. The nature out there really is unforgettable. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Stuart, thank you so much. The kind of guide who keeps showing you new things even when the tour is officially over is honestly rare. We love working with people like him. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Livia, thank you so much — this honestly made our week. Curation, community, sustainability, customer service — those four things are the whole platform for us, and they're often not what big booking sites optimise for, so we try to do them properly. The fact that you trust our offerings because of who we are is the highest compliment we could get. So glad you found us, and thank you for travelling thoughtfully. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Dara, thank you for this — you've put it more beautifully than we could. Participating, learning, engaging — instead of just observing — that's exactly the difference we try to create with the experiences we list. Most of our hosts are passionate artists, makers, and cultural practitioners, and the small, intimate setting is part of the design, not an accident. We're really glad it came through, and so happy you'd recommend us to other travellers who want to connect with a place through its people. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Kallie, thank you for this! Off the beaten path is exactly where we like to live. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Gavin, thank you so much for this — and for noticing the ethical operator side of things. That's something we work really hard on; we say no to a lot of operators because of welfare or sustainability concerns, and we're constantly checking in on the ones we do list. The fact that the smaller, harder-to-find operators came through consistently across both Malaysia and Thailand is what we hope every traveller experiences. Looking forward to helping with your next trip. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Darren!

Thanks so much for leaving a kind review - it really means a lot to us.

Thanks for trusting us with your upcoming Sumba trip too! Sumba is such an amazing place but can be tricky to plan logistics as it's still very raw. So glad Rina was able to help adjust everything for you - she really puts a lot of care into making sure each trip goes smoothly.

Hope you both have the most amazing time in Sumba! :)

Hi Yusra, thank you so much! Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Ash, thank you so much! The combination of being well looked after + getting to learn from someone who really knows their stuff is exactly what we hope that walk delivers. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Matilda, thank you so much! Trustworthy, ethical, eco-friendly — that's the standard we hold every guide to. So glad it came through. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Sunita, thank you so much! Ticket changes are exactly the kind of small thing we want to make easy, so it's lovely to hear our team came through for you. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Somaiah

Thank you so much for your kind review - it means a lot to us!

We started Seek Sophie as independent travellers ourselves, so we know how important it is to have recommendations you can trust. That’s why we spend a lot of time personally checking out experiences and hosts.

I’m so glad Fern was able to help. She really cares about making sure everything runs smoothly and it'll make her very happy to know she made a difference :)

Thanks again for trusting us with your travels 💛

Hi Rubab, thank you so much! Itineraries that match the actual experience matter more than anything — that's the bar we hold our partners to. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Glad we could help! Thank you for the review :)

Hi Tina, thank you so much! Greenview Lodge is such a lovely option in Borneo — wildlife at the doorstep, kind staff, and the Kinabatangan really does deliver scenery you don't forget. So glad it you enjoyed it, and that the sustainability piece came through 🐘🐢 Team Seek Sophie 💛

Thank you so much for the review, Niamh! Glad we could help in planning your trip :) Have a wonderful time!

Hi Yoana

Thanks so much for your kind review. It really means a lot to us!

We’ve actually been to Komodo more than 20 times ourselves, testing different boats and experiences, because we know how important it is to get it right for a trip like this. It’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime places, and there can be some dodgy operators there, so we spend a lot of time finding the really great ones for our guests.

So happy to hear you loved your day trip and getting to see the Komodo dragons!

The host you went with is also a really special one. When they’re not running trips, they organise beach clean-ups around Komodo and even pay their crew to collect trash. So your trip didn’t just take you somewhere beautiful - it also supported people who are taking great care of Komodo National Park.

Thanks again for trusting us with your trip, and for taking the time to share this. Would love to have you on another Seek Sophie adventure soon :)

Best regards,

Hi Simon, thank you so much! Wide variety + hassle-free is exactly what we hope the booking flow feels like. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Anna, thank you so much! Smooth and seamless from start to finish is the bar we try to hold across the whole experience — booking through to the actual day. So glad it held up. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Tracey, this is so lovely. So glad it became your most special memory of the trip. We'll pass this on to the family at Praiwan too. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Hera, thank you so much — this means a lot. Thoughtfully designed, meaningful, different from the mainstream — that's literally the brief we set for every experience we list, and it's lovely to hear it described back to us. We're really glad you came across us and that the first experience landed. Lots more we'd love to show you whenever you're ready. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Chqnelle, the people make it — couldn't agree more 💛 Team Seek Sophie
