    We had an amazing journey on our bike trip. Despite the heat (34C) each day, we managed well, stopping for breaks. Our tour leaders with Intrepid, Igor and Andro, were knowledgeable, organized and tended to our many needs. We were a small group of 4 participants which provided us with a small family atmosphere allowing us to get to know each other more. Our favourite days were the ones where we rode fewer kms so we had more time to explore in our destinations. Really enjoyed riding through the countryside - beautiful fields of sunflowers, views of the Danube and amazing meals at recommended restaurants. The leaders, accommodations, and experience far exceeded our expectations.

    Well it definitely wasn'tbecause of the weather as it rained every day we were on the road; however our guides, Jerneja and Duje, and the group dynamics made the trip unforgettable. Jerry's and Duje's leadership was spot on. I have never been on an intrepid trip, where our guides ate all their meals with usto create a true bond with the travelers.

    The trip itself was amazing and the cycling was great thanks to our lovely trip leader and support driver. I would caution others not to expect too much regarding accommodation which was occasionally a bit squashed. Also expect to share a room as my single supplement was cancelled quite last minute and on the tour I was told by co-travellers that intrepid has a reputation for this.

    Great people and an enjoyable trip - apart from bike mixup. I asked for a small step thru bike and got one that was totally unrideable. After discussion with leaders they did a great job in finding me a Bike that I COULDride - but I had to pay for its hire. Costly. But it was that, or give up before I started. Guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable: accommodation patchy... I was disappointed that we had to go so fast through many interesting places- a longer trip at a slower pace would have been culturally more rewarding Your pre trip notes need to be refined and expanded especially re the history and highlights. Also recommend a MINIMUN of 3 x. 3 km rides in preparation for trip and one 5 km ride. It is NOT for the mildly fit!
