My Intrepid tour to the northern part of Italy combined both expert guidance and plentiful opportunities for independent inquiry. The hotels were all in convenient locations with good breakfasts. Our tour leader was excellent. He provided us with informative descriptors, all the guidance we needed, and the confidence to expand our horizons.

I can highly recommend Intrepid Tours for an enjoyable & well planned holiday. The small group limit was really appreciated as we got to know each other quite well. Our tour guide was warm & friendly , nothing was too much trouble . We had time to unwind with plenty of spare time and not many long distances travelled in one day . The accommodation was well planned in convenient locations & all clean & comfortable. I would rebook with Intrepid for another tour!

This trip was wonderful! It gave us an amazing introduction to a good variety of beautiful Italian destinations. We really appreciated the balance between group inclusions/activities and time to independently explore. Our Tour Leader Julieta was just amazing! So friendly and approachable, she was a joy to be around!
