    The tour was well-organized and ran smoothly. Our guide, Pedro, did a great job handling all our requests like finding us a restaurant with great vegetarian options. It was a fast-paced tour, but we got to see everything we wanted to see in three cities. Highly recommend Intrepid as a tour provider.

    Well-organized trip, competent and attentive guide, well-chosen accommodations, interesting places. What's missing, however, are encounters with "real" Colombian life: musical evenings, initiation to dance, specific arts... The group went to bed incredibly early!

    This was a fantastic tour!! The group came together and became one happy family. And Lorenzo, our guide, was excellent! If you’re interested in the Galapagos, this is the tour you should take!

      We've decided not to take a long trip for the Holidays. We started planning too late.
