- CHChad· July 24th, 2024Gave a great overview of wonderful places in Italy. I would recommend what others have said and get there an extra day early to Venice and stay an extra day in Rome. I also traveled to Verona and Pompeii, both of which I would highly recommend if you have a day to spend.Show more

Flavio· April 30th, 2023Waste of money. Sent wrong tickets, one cancelled. Not much good to say other than it was a scam.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Flavio, We are so sorry to hear that you had such a negative experience on the tour, and that there was an issue with tickets. Our Customer Care team have been made aware of your concerns and will be in touch.Trip date: April 2023- MDMahony· September 8th, 2022The tour itself was amazing! A lot of value for money. The tour guide did seem to be a bit annoyed at us at the end when we wanted to get transport back to the hotel, after walking over half a marathon. This is notable considering a few members had lower body injuries/ health concerns. Other than that, I really loved my trip. I made friends for life, memories I’ll cherish for yearsShow moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Mahony, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are so happy to hear that you loved your time in Italy, and have made life long friends from the trip - We love hearing about the wonderful friendships that come from our trips! We are...

Alice
Asked on April 16th, 2025Looking at this 8 day trip to Italy. It indicates that 2 of the nights are in a hostel. Have never stayed in one not sure what is expected. Can you upgrade to a hotel?
Intrepid TravelOperator•Written April 2025Unfortunately, we are unable to offer accommodation upgrades on this trip, as the itinerary is designed with specific accommodations in mind. The two nights in the hostel are part of the planned experience for this particular tour package.

Elaine
Asked on February 28th, 2025Due to recent health reasons relating to a knee operation, I have been advised by my surgeon to cancel my booking. I have a letter from my GP and can also obtain my Specialist letter to confirm same decision. I am so disappointed but having just had an MRI today which confirmed a knee 'stress fracture' after my recent operation, with bed rest only for next 8 weeks, it would not be sensible, healthwise, to go on this tour with lots of walking involved. Please tell me what you need off me to cancel my trip.

Asked on January 20th, 2025Rome, Cinque Terre, Florence and Venice are all places I would like to spend 4 days in each to get to know.

Amanda
Asked on December 10th, 2024What is the maximum group size for the Highlights of Italy tour? Also, what is the maximum age suggested for participants? Lastly, does the tour company provide any transport support/airport connections, etc, from the perspective of having to get people and baggage around locations before, during and after the tour?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written December 2024
The maximum group limit on this trip is 16 passengers and the trip is open for travelers above 15 years, with no maximum age limit. On this trip you must pack as lightly as possible because you will be expected to carry your own bag and although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes), we strongly recommend keeping the weight under 15kg / 33lb. Also, you'll have to carry your own luggage on and off the train, so make sure it doesn't exceed our weight and size recommendations.
