Does anyone have advice about travel groups?

Hello, I would appreciate some advice about travel groups. I would love to go somewhere warm and sunny (possibly in Asia). I’m in my 20’s would prefer to go with people in their 20s-30s but I’m totally fine to go with people who are older. I like being busy and experiencing as many things as possible (snorkeling and being on the beach, hiking, visiting religious/historical buildings, etc). I am open to partying at night as long as there are fun activities (other than drinking) during the day. I would like for it not to be extremely expensive for a 2-3 week trip. I looked at Tru Travel’s island hopping trips and they look great but I don’t know if they are reliable. Does anyone have any experience, advice, or recommendations for which company is best?

DD went to Australia with TruTravels earlier this year - she had the absolute time of her life and is already looking to see what trip she’d like to do next. The age range on her tour was 19-30, averaging about 24 but all of them got on really well together no matter the age gap. It was all really well organised, literally the only thing she had to do was book flights and turn up! All accommodation, activities & transport are sorted for you and the tour guide stays with your group 24/7. DD was only 20 when she went so it was really good to have that extra layer of safety - as a mum I liked that she had someone responsible looking out for her and accompanying the group on nights out etc. It was fantastic for a first time solo traveller, she made great friends really easily who she has stayed in contact with - they’re all heading interrailing in the summer!

DD isn’t a huge party girl but likes the occasional night out and found the trip to be really well balanced in terms of this. Lots of cultural activities alongside sightseeing + water sports, usually with a few relaxed drinks in the evening. They only had one or two ‘big’ nights out. The last thing she wanted was to be part of a 3 week long party so it suited her really well.
