Stephanie· July 17th, 2024Tour guide Sergi was great, really patient, helped where he could and really genuinely tried to ensure everyone was having an amazing time. However, I felt the tour itself was way overpriced for what it was. I’m used to group tours having extras/experiences and felt this was just travel (all public), accommodation and the guide. I’ve paid have the price for group tours in Europe with same duration but multiple extras/activities. I also felt the accommodations were average, some above some below so it wasn’t as if that made up for it. I really do not know where the $7k went which is disappointing. I’m on my 7th group tour now and all others have made me feel I got real value for money.Show more

- AMelissa A· September 18th, 2019I loved the format of this tour. Vinni was an excellent guide and managed our expectations and timeframes beautifully. He was flexible where we requested more time, but also very clear in maintaining our schedule so that we never felt rushed despite being constantly on the move. This trip included so many beautiful destinations. On reflection we have been unable to pick a favourite part as it was all so beautiful. We particularly loved Vinni's guidance on where to eat, and our group dinners were very enjoyable. Vinni's enthusiasm for the Barcelona-Rome trip, and life in general, was infectious and he did a fantastic job keeping us on track and on time - our group bonded really quickly under his guidance and we tended to stick together even on our free days which I think is testament to Vinni's ability to create a great group dynamic. This is why we love Intrepid tours so much. Small group - great local guides - fabulous itineraries.Show moreTrip date: May 2019
- ALinda H· September 18th, 2019This was our 4th trip, all in Europe, with Intrepid. The locations, activities and transport are great. Some of the hotels are a bit hit & miss, but the tour leaders (& crew) are what make the trip or break it and every one so far has been fantastic. Our leader Vincenzo (Vinnie) is a star. He is funny and friendly and kind and an absolute delight. Lots of fun and a very happy trip all round.Show moreTrip date: May 2019

- AElena P· September 18th, 2019For the price of the trip I was surprised to see 2 star hotels and how little was included in the program.The hotel in Arles was particularly low quality and the rooms smelled of diesel.While I would imagine that visiting Ribes de Freser, Carcassonne and Arles may be good at high-season, in April they felt like absolute ghost towns.Most stores and restaurants were closed for the shoulder season and there was not much to do there.On the other hand, Nice felt completely rushed and there was not enough time to see everything.Show moreTrip date: March 2019

Traveler•Written January 2022I'm just really curious about the age restriction. Like why 15? Only asking bc we have done tours w/several other tour companies & they had no problem with children.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2022
To be honest there can be many factors as to why they set the age limit. It can be an insurance issue that they run into, they may not think some of the activities are suited towards people that young etc.

Virginia
Asked on June 29th, 2015Do you think taking a suitcase is acceptable on this trip? 4 wheeler?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2015
On this trip, you must pack as lightly as possible because you will be expected to carry your own bag and although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes), we strongly recommend keeping the weight under 20kg.
Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient although we recommend your bag has carry straps. You'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc for day trips.
