    A friend highly recommended Intrepid Tours and raved about their exceptional experiences. So, I decided to take their recommendation to heart and booked your Premium Turkey in Depth departing Istanbul on October 13th, with Emre as our guide and leader. I had great anticipation after reading previous reviews and the narrative that accompanied my itinerary. That anticipation was dashed as the tour evolved and turned to dismay that Intrepid would assign a guide/leader who was so unprepared. I say that will all due respect as Emre acknowledged that he had not lead a tour like ours (with a 15 day itinerary) in quite a few years. In fact his main expertise is Istanbul and Cappadocia, not all the other locations. So, we received his expertise on 6 of the 15 day tour. I would like to share several safety issues which prompt me to give the overall tour rating as I did “POOR”. * In Pamukkale after arriving with only 90 minutes of daylight, our guide gave us about 60 minutes to explore Paukkale. However, most of that time DARK. After arriving at the designated meeting point at 7pm, our leader was confused as to how to return to our van. So, we spent 20-30 stumbling in the dark until, we finally followed another guide. There was no explanation or apology. * On our first evening in Cappadocia, we were driven to an overlook to watch a sunset and enjoy refreshments. Unbeknownst to us, in order for us to return to our hotel, we had to WALK over 1.5 miles in the DARK on a very busy street. As we walked, we saw other tourist vans returning their guests to their designated hotels. Once again there was no explanation or apology. * The narrative in our itinerary mentioned a trip to explore Love Valley. When asked when this excursion would take place, our guide said it wasn’t part of his itinerary. Only after pointing out what the itinerary stated, did he reluctantly agree to take us to Love Valley. Once there, he provided a brief overview. When asked how we would find the path to the Valley, he pointed to a car along the valley’s rim. We started off in that direction and soon realized we were misguided. There was not path and in effect if we did try to descend as he pointed there would have been serious injuries. We then call our leader for further clarification, his response was annoyance. He subsequently drove us in the opposite direction, for over 10 minutes, were there was a road, path and other tourist enjoying the wonders of Love Valley. I could recite other incidents were our guide was indifferent or demonstrated a lack of knowledge or enthusiasm, but my main point was to draw your attention to these “SAFETY” issues. I hope these examples will be investigated to ensure subsequent guest will have a more positive and safe experience. Ed Fritz PS: I’m a retired individual who has traveled to over 64 countries and been on 9 tours so far in 2022. I’m recounting this not to brag, but to say that this experience was not what I expected from Intrepid given their reputation.

    • Intrepid PremiumOperatorWritten October 2022

      Intrepid Premium tours feature the highest standard of accommodation offered - we use locally owned hotels and they are 4 star level or higher. These tours are by no means "luxury travel" so if you are looking for high-end 5 star accommodation this might not be the right tour for you. Premium tours have our highest number of meals and activities included, and they also include all incidental tipping as well as luggage transfer.
