- NHNathan· May 5th, 2025This tour was a taste of the west coast of Brazil and certainly lived up to expectations. The tour leader, Luma was very passionate, energetic and informative about the country, making her a great advert for not just Intrepid Travel, but also Brazil. The small historical city of Paraty was a very historical and cultural place to visit and the island of Ilha Grande was very picturesque. The only trouble was as Ilha Grande was a tourist destination you do get hit with heavily inflated prices and sometimes sub-standard food (this was not the case in Paraty though). The final stop was Rio De Janierio, where the hotel was great (better than the other two) and lived up to all expectation of being one of the most iconic cities in the world (especially as the world record setting Lady Gaga concert coincided with the end of the tour). Now I am just waiting for an Intrepid tour that includes the Pantana and FlorianópolisShow more

Show moreTrip date: April 2025 - LFLaShawn· December 11th, 2024I really enjoyed my guide. She was pleasant and sweet. She knew recommendations for us to eat and tours to attend. Accommodating. When I arrived at the first hotel I was told the water was complementary. But when I checked out I had to pay for the one water bottle I drank. Second hotel.. was ok. Third hotel was the worst. If I had any physical limitations I would not have gotten up the hill. I think the accommodations of the third hotel put restrictions with people with disabilities. In conclusion, they only gave me one towel (No toiletries or face towels). I would not recommend this trip for individuals that are not moderately fit or have some disabilities. Overall I had a Great Guide that earn 5 starsShow moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi LaShawn, thank you for your review.

- AAndrea B· September 18th, 2019Travel was separated into 2 parts with two tour guides. We did not know that! Poor general explanations about countries we travelled. We were really looking forward to stay on the estancia over new years eve and this was changed a few weeks before we started the travel. Reason was not really clear for us. After talking to the owner of the estancia we figured out that they do not take any groups over new years eve - since 4 years!!! Absolute no go. Intrepud can not offer an itinery whwn they know they have to change. That is not okay and we feel very disappointed.Show moreTrip date: January 2019

Traveler•Written November 2024How young is the youngest traveler? I have a group of 15 adults and 1 eight-year-old that is ready to book for April 2025. The parent of the 8-year-old has a family of 4 and does not want to leave her 8-year-old behind.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written December 2024
The minimum age requirement is 15, which unfortunately means that we cannot accommodate your 8-year-old on this particular trip. However, we're excited about the possibility of arranging a custom private tour with another operator tailored to your needs.
