- KKaty· March 24th, 2021I enjoyed the trip and we saw some really interesting places which I wouldn't normally have visited. I was a bit disappointed with the guide. Though he got us from A to B he was rude and stand offish at times. It's a real shame as I have heard some lovely reports about Intrepid's guides but I didn't find him very approachable. The places we visited though were lovely.Show more
Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewThanks so much for your feedback and we are glad that you enjoyed your trip with us overall. We are sorry to hear that you didn't have the experience that you were hoping for with your Tour Leader. We take our customer's feedback very seriously and use... Show moreTrip date: October 2019 - MDMarion· November 1st, 2019The itinerary was excellent to travel through Bulgaria. We enjoyed the local guides as our tour leader was not a guide, just a leader and not a Bulgarian local. It was the first Intrepid Tour that my husband and I had taken. We would prefer a better standard of hotels as it is not a budget tour. Being a group of only 9 made it easy to get around.Show moreTrip date: September 2019
- Ssusan· October 16th, 2019Great group and interesting sites. Loved the countries visited but missed not having local guides . Had to google some information on my own to clarify. A bit bare bones, not much included in price of tour. But all in, still a good time .Show moreTrip date: October 2019
