Komodo & Flores, September 2017

Joyce Jack

Flores was the way Bali was 20 years ago. It is uncrowded with many miles of beaches but no resorts yet. The roads are horrible. Be prepared for long hours in the van bouncing along to your next stop. The finishing trip to Komodo Island and the snorkel stop make it a special adventure.

The Budapest and the Balkans trip highlights a region of Europe "off the beaten path" that is absolutely gorgeous and teeming with history and culture. And on top of that incredibly affordable!

Leonie Whitla

My trip to Malaysia was surprisingly great. Tour leader Jeremy made it so with his enthusiasm and energy. I enjoyed every aspect of this trip from the jungle to the islands. The canopy walk a highlight. The home stay was enjoyable and Georgetown a highlight. Great trip.

Inca Trail Express, September 2017

Imee Tribo

This is my first guided trip and I couldn't be happier that we chose to do the Inca Trail with Intrepid. We got a good intro to Cusco and had an amazing visit with a small, local village near Chinchero. The trek on the Inca Trail itself was amazing. Everything was well organized so we could focus on just getting each day of trekking completed. The food and camp set-up were great, it's as comfortable as camping can get. Our team of guides and porters on the trek really made the trip unforgettable. I highly recommend this trip, and would even consider doing it again!

Russia Highlights, August 2017

Michael McClure

Travelers seeking a luxury, relaxing vacation should avoid this trip. To get the most from the experience, one should be open to challenges and eager to learn about, understand, and adjust to the subtleties of other cultures; in shape to walk frequently; and able and willing to carry all your luggage.
