Diana · Traveled August 2022
This was my second Intrepid travel and I was happy with everything. I always wanted to do a road trip through the US and as a solo traveler this was an excellent solution. A lot of the hassle is taken away and you can just focus on the experience of travelling and marveling at the fabulous landscapes. The activities and cities we visited were well chosen and honestly I could have never had the opportunity to meet our amazing local guides. Our Intrepid guide was really nice and I loved meeting the people in our little group. The national parks are amazing and breathtaking. I appreciated all the activities like the food tour (come hungry) and seeing another side of the States.
