  • Alan
    · September 19th, 2025
    Outstanding tour, with excellent guide, fascinating recent history of these countries which have endured so much. I was blown away by the depth of spontaneous support for Ukraine 🇺🇦. Particularly special was the usual Intrepid mix of nationalities, interacting with the locals, and the use of public transport. The inclusion of cycling on the spit opposite Kaliningrad, and kayaking in a Lithuanian national park, was spot on… with choices for a disparate group. Thoroughly enjoyable, and I learned a great deal as well!

    We can’t say enough good things about our guide Marco, he was very attentive and a great planner and communicator. He was very cost consciousness when it came to dining recommendations and knowledgeable about the area and its history. The hikes while difficult were rewarding with the views. We highly recommend this tour
