- ALili K· September 18th, 2019The tour involved going to lots of towns which aren't very touristy, and that provided a real insight into the country. It also had a nice mixture of activities and free time. The tour guide was also excellent, which made the trip more enjoyable. It was great that Intrepid considers sustainable tourism as part of it's tours, which I wasn't aware of prior to the tour. It would be interesting if more could be done on this front.Show moreTrip date: March 2019
