    The trip was well coordinated. Our trip had to be re-routed due to the very snowy winter, but our tour guide, Phil, still managed to keep our days full, and our hikes about the same mileage that we would have walked otherwise. The hikes were moderate to steep, nothing that our entire group could not keep up with. I felt that everyone was accommodated to. And we went to our rooms at night exhausted from our days journey. Yosemite is a must-do, if you have never been there. The pictures do it no justice. Having the tour guide from intrepid was great, because he told us all about the history of the National Park- things that I would have walked right by if I were hiking alone. This trip was great! can’t wait until the next one.

    The tour was well-structured, although I would have preferred an extra day in Yosemite and possibly dispensing with the first afternoon in San Francisco, even though the scheduled hike itself, the dinner and accommodations were excellent. Our guide Jaymz was knowledgeable, personable and an great driver. The scheduled activities were all worthwhile and the only disappointment was the slightly below-par quality of the last night's accommodations in Tahoe. Overall, a well-deserved 4.5 star rating! Great job, Intrepid.

    The tour plan with its walks, chosen sights ie places to hike & visit, and lodging is excellent. It was a tight schedule without pressure offering A LOT of impressions and beauty. A great o really plan. I would have enjoyed a bit more history & information about the different sights. While many travelers enjoy a more laid back experience of look-see-go, I am the type who enjoys more when I am given something to focus on when I land somewhere new. I prefer a guide who is ready to offer good and intriguing information which was missing for me in my group.
