This trip was truly incredible—exactly what my soul needed. I was initially a bit hesitant about using a company I had never tried before, let alone traveling with a group of complete strangers. But in the end, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself.
Everything was thoughtfully organized, which made the experience completely stress-free. All the details were taken care of, allowing me to fully enjoy the journey. Our guide was absolutely exceptional—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I’ll definitely be recommending her to all my friends and family.

GREAT TRIP but NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. Leader was knowledgeable, flexible, great driver, great with group dynamics…but don’t expect Intrepid to be helpful, accommodating.

We toured from Rapid City to Bozeman and had a brilliant trip. Spectacular scenery and great stops along the way. Our guide/tour leader Steve was brilliant and we hope to see him again on another tour.
