Ha Giang has always been on my travel lists. Thankfully, I joined Seek Sophie. I gained so much more than I ever expected. The friendliness, strong bonds, warmth, and love I experienced gave me faith in humanity. The difference in language and culture were never barriers to human connection. In fact, the simplicity of life there brought so much joy and freedom. Kudos to our guides, Sophia and Fern! They went above and beyond to ensure the group stayed safe while having a great time. Greatly appreciate their effort in making the experience so enjoyable! đŸ„°
Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Stella,

Thank you so much for the kind words.

We are so thrilled to hear you had a wonderful trip. It means so much to us to hear that this trip was beyond just seeing the sights, but it was worthy of proving the goodness of humanity. When we started Seek Sophie we really wanted to connect people across cultural and language barriers in a meaningful way, so it means a lot to us to hear that you were able to experience exactly that.

Your message gives us inspiration to keep creating these trips in the future, even as they take a lot of time and effort.

Hope to see you on another trip soon!

Truly one of the most joyful, thoughtful, and human trips I’ve ever joined. What made this Komodo trip special was not only the beautiful places, manta rays, sunsets, pink beaches, and Komodo dragons, but the people behind the experience. The whole trip felt genuinely thoughtful and community driven rather than commercial or transactional. I really appreciated how the itinerary went beyond typical tourist spots and created meaningful connections with local communities, conservation efforts, local food culture, and even activities supporting local children and coral restoration. Winna and Putri were absolutely amazing throughout the trip. They are warm, caring, organized, and full of energy. You could genuinely feel how much heart they put into making everyone feel comfortable and connected. The Navali boat crew was incredible as well. Everyone made us feel so cared for every single day, and honestly the food felt like dining in a floating 5-star Michelin restaurant. Roy was such a thoughtful and genuine guide, while Amir captured so many beautiful moments naturally through his photography. By the end of the trip, a group of strangers somehow felt like a little family. One of the most memorable travel experiences I’ve had in years.

Hi Zaya

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review, and for your email to our team. It's incredibly thoughtful of you and really means the world to us.

We all read your email multiple times, and it really moved us. Notes like yours keep us going and remind us why we do what we do, especially because so much of this trip was built with a ton of love and care.

We created our Komodo Community Trips because we’ve been to Komodo over 25 times, and we wanted travellers to experience it the way we’ve come to love it - not just the beautiful islands, manta rays, pink beaches and dragons, but the people, stories and local heroes behind the place.

This trip took us around 6 months to plan and pull together, from finding the right boat and crew, to working with local conservationists, community projects, food makers and guides who care deeply about Komodo. So it really touches us to hear that the trip felt thoughtful, human and community-driven. That's exactly what we hoped it would be.

We’re so happy that Winna, Putri, Roy, Amir and the Navali crew made you feel so cared for. They all put so much heart into what they do, and we’ll definitely share your words with them.

Thank you again for joining us, and for being part of such a special little Komodo family. We’re so grateful you came with us ❀

I joined Seek Sophie's community trip to Chiang Mai and it genuinely touched me deeply. To hear the local's stories, walk with my feet in the water, watch the magnificent elephants and be one with nature was truly such an experience. We were so well taken care of the entire trip as well! Fern is such a bright light, she brought so much positive energy which set the tone for the entire week. She constantly ensured we were safe and having a great time. She also facilitated so many meaningful conversations that got us all to open up and share our life experiences with one another - these vulnerable moments were a highlight for me. It felt like such a blessing to be amongst like-minded women who share a love for nature and slow living. Will forever be grateful that I signed up for this. ❀
Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Sandra

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a beautiful review. This really touched us.

We’re so happy to hear that the Chiang Mai trip meant so much to you. That’s exactly what we hoped this trip would feel like.

We’re also so glad you felt so cared for by Fern. She put so much heart into this trip, from making sure everything ran smoothly to creating a safe space for our community to share and connect. We wanted this girls’ trip to feel like more than just a usual holiday or escape. We wanted to create a space to slow down, give back, and feel held by nature and by each other. Hearing you say that you felt the heart and soul behind it means a lot to us, and makes all the hard work worth it.

Thank you again for joining our community trip, and for putting your experience into words so beautifully. It means so much to us, to Fern, and to our local hosts. ❀

Seek Sophie showed me a different side of travel, one that’s slower, meaningful, and rooted in real experiences. We met locals, visited places that weren’t overrun with tourists, and learned the stories behind them. It felt like exploring with heart, not just checking off a travel checklist.

We’ve used Seek Sophie so many times now and it’s just so easy. Like dangerously easy. One minute you’re thinking “maybe we should do something fun this weekend,” and next thing you know, you’ve booked a sunrise volcano hike or a boat to Komodo. No stress, no dodgy WhatsApp chains—just simple, clear info and solid options.It always feels really local too, which we love. Nothing ever feels mass-touristy or generic. And the whole vibe of the site is so chill—I genuinely thought there was a lucky duck named Sophie just out there living her best life and trying cool stuff for us to try too.We haven’t been steered wrong once. Every trip has been a hit. Can’t recommend it enough if you like things that are easy, fun, and not a complete rip-off.
Response from Seek Sophie

Hello Martin, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a kind and insightful review. We are so delighted to hear that we have successfully brought you to a few off the beaten path adventures. And we'll be trying more cool stuff to make sure we keep delivering these adventures for you in the future!

I had such a wonderful experience with Seek Sophie! Everything was well planned from start to finish, and the place we visited was absolutely amazing ,somewhere I’ve never been before and truly unforgettable. A special thanks to Fern from Seek Sophie, who took great care of everyone throughout the trip. She made sure we were all happy, comfortable, and enjoying ourselves every step of the way. It’s rare to find a travel experience that’s this smooth and thoughtful. I’ll definitely be joining them again for my future adventures!
Response from Seek Sophie

Dear Christina,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. It warms our hearts to know that you really enjoyed this journey and were able to see places you've never been before. It's a true compliment for us.

Fern had put in a lot of time preparing for this trip, so we are delighted to hear that it has paid off in making your experience unforgettable.

We hope to see you on another Seek Sophie trip in the near future!

Booking with Seek Sophie is the best decision we have made. They are responsive with the queries, therefore they are trustworthy. Nothing but good words for this company.

Travel becomes truly meaningful when it goes beyond sightseeing — when it nurtures the soul and leaves a gentle impact on the communities we visit. As a mother, I want my little boy to grow up knowing this truth: that every journey can be a chance to connect, to care, and to contribute. That’s why experiences like this matter — because they shape not just our memories, but our values.So thank you seek Sophie for being that platform that helps us do this 🙏
Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Peggy, your words mean the world to us! It warms our heart when we hear from fellow travellers that they resonate with and live our mission. Wishing you and your boys the most meaningful of travels ahead!

As someone who has traveled independently to more places than I deserve to, including once alone and without a guidebook around the world in 1990, I’ve experienced the way travel has changed over the decades. But good things never change, and the immediate communication with Michelle and her quick facts to help me decide this crucial part of my daughter’s and I trip is very reassuring. I refer to these kind of helpers that you come across on your trips as “Travel Angels.” Michelle is definitely one of these, and God bless all the rest.
Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Matthew, thank you for such a kind review. We are glad that we can be a part of your lifelong travel journey đŸ„°

I’ve booked a few tours with seek Sophie and all have exceeded my expectations. Off the beaten path, no tourist traps, awesome Local experiences with local guides.

Seek Sophie captures the soul of each destination and its experiences with their carefully-curated workshops and tours. They work with locals on the ground to offer the road less-travelled by tourists whilst supporting the local economy. I had a smooth booking experience with them and a great experience at the workshop.
Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, Kelly. We are so glad to know that we've been able to deliver to you experiences that show off the soul of the place. Your words inspire us to keep doing what we do!

Go to platform for sustainable, ethical and one of a kind experiences. Highly recommend if you’re looking to plan unique getaways both locally or abroad.
Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Mich, thank you so much! Sustainable, ethical, one-of-a-kind — that's the trifecta we always work towards. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Seek Sophie is an excellent portal through which to book distant travel packages. Having asked around my hotel and some of the other tour operators, the prices they quote are competitive, so you can be assured that you get a decent deal every time, and it is clear form speaking to the locals that they receive the bulk of the money that you pay, which is reassuring. Their tours are carefully selected from the better tour operators, so you should get a decent tour when in situ. A fantastic way to book tours in advance and save your precious holiday time for exploring, rather than shopping around the hundreds of vendors!

I often book experiences with Seek Sophie because they offer really unique ones which you don’t usually see on other platforms, such as Klook. The booking process is fuss-free and it’s easy to look up the experiences on their platform as well.I also see that the Seek Sophie team appreciates their users - they recently sent a birthday cake for an experience I booked to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Little acts like this are what truly capture the hearts of their users :)

Extremely helpful from miss Rina. Manage to plan out my 4D3N Surabaya trip within a day with her coordination. Price is reasonable compared to individual purchase on Klook. Can’t wait for the trip coming May.

Thanks very much for taking the time to leave us a review, John! We are glad to hear that your planning experience was pleasant. Enjoy your trip!

I am really, really, really not a fan of group tours, and yet there are so many things on my bucket list that simply can't be done individually. When I found out about Seek Sophie, the underlying concept sounded too good to be true - but I gave it a shot and booked a river cruise in Sabah, Borneo...and I loved everything about it.No streamlined, generic programme, no pressure to socialize or party. Just a tour that focussed on the activities, the wildlife, and sharing the guides' expertise. I honestly wish I could give them at least 6 stars đŸ€©

100% recommended! I would give them more starts if would be possible! Seek Shopie is a company that helps you organizing your trips without trying to sell you something that is not what you are looking for. They care about you, they listen, they recommend and they finally organize everything in a personal , economic and safe way. I got their contact by chance and I can honestly say that I feel so greatful about it. They organized my Sipadan diving trip with only 2 days notice, and wooow! Best diving ever! SĂșper profesional, Excellent equipment and incredibly knowledgeable and respectful dive masters. I also booked a snorkeling tour with them and everything was excellent, but if I need to highlight something, is the treatment from Charmaine, she is just amazing and I feel really lucky having her giving me tips and recommendations.

Seek Sophie is my go to website for tours around Asia. Our guides are always so kind and knowledgeable. I wish nothing but the best for the company and those who they work alongside to provide the tours. If I could give them 6 stars 
 I would.

I discovered a Bali cycling tour through Seek Sophie, and I must say—they truly live up to their mission of helping travelers experience authentic local culture while avoiding tourist traps. Seek Sophie did an excellent job curating this tour!

I love Seek Sophie's picks and the approach towards traveling, the emphasis of ethical tourism, being respectful while interacting with nature, inclusiveness in building a community, etc. and the best part are the people! Shoutout to Olivia for helping me plan for Vietnam and being super accommodating, kind and easy to speak to!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks so much for your kind review, Shefali! It means a lot to us that you recongise our curation and approach to traveling. And we're happy to hear that Olivia was able to help with your Vietnam trip. Hope to see you on another Seek Sophie trip soon!

I loved my experience with Seek Sophie. It really has it all: a bold and inspiring mission, an easy-to-use platform, and carefully curated experiences that result in wonderfully memorable trips. I knew before I went on my trip to climb Mount Kinabalu in 2018 that Seek Sophie really takes pride in finding local guides who are passionate about sharing their local environments and care about providing positive experiences for tourists. But I was ABSOLUTELY blown away by what a difference that can make in practice. Our guides on Mount Kinabalu were absolute life-savers; they made sure our whole group of different levels of fitness were cared for and felt safe and comfortable. When my legs gave up about halfway down the mountain, one of our guides basically carried me down the rest of the way.Now, whenever I am taking a trip to Southeast Asia, I always check first if I can book through Seek Sophie as I know I will be in good hands and have an amazing experience.

SeekSophie has been my go-to platform for booking activities during my one-month stay in Bali. Everything has been well-organized, reliable, and easy to arrange. What I love most is that the experiences are run by local families and small businesses, often in places far away from the usual tourist crowds. It’s been such a great way to discover the real Bali.
Response from Seek Sophie

So happy to hear that, Michelle! We are so happy we could make your stay in Bali a little more meaningful :)

Great service! This is a company you can trust. I reserve some days ago and couse of some troubles I have to cancel the experience and they return me the full money, amazing! Thanks to Fern for this good support.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to join in on the excursion to the elephant sanctuary. I misunderstood the location and could not travel there. Rina and Kai En were extremely kind and looked into the possibility of a refund that I was granted in the end. I am so appreciative of their understanding. I will hopefully be back for that excursion, but intend to join another as soon as I'm able.

Couldn’t recommend Seek Sophie more! We were so lucky to have Kai En support us through our Kinabatangan River Safari booking. The communication, punctuality, understanding and guidance we received was genuinely above and beyond! Thank you so much Kai and Seek Sophie! Can’t wait for our tour 😁
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks so much for the kind review, Dylan! So happy to hear Kai En could assist with your Kinabatangan booking. Have a wonderful trip! Crossing our fingers for the Borneo Big 5 for you!

We are building a trip to Cat Ba and wanted a combination of tours. Fern was brilliant, she explained all our options and took time to discuss the differences to ensure we got the most out of our time. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured to book and the whole process has been a pleasure. We can’t to go now!

Thanks so much for the review, Donna-Melody! Happy to hear Fern was able to help. Have a wonderful trip!
