Ah, Europe. What is it about sun-soaked vineyards, cobbled lanes and the smell of fresh-baked croissants that draws 460 million people each year?
Sailing along the Cote d’Azur, with the waves of the Med lapping against the hull, or browsing Venetian market stalls, you can’t help but get swept up in the sheer romance of the place. This is the land of Coco Chanel and Bridget Bardot, of Da Vinci, Pavarotti and Puccini (and porcini too, come to think of it). There’s subversive street art for the hip, farm-fresh food for the hungry and a cathedral full of culture for those plagued by incurable wanderlust. Get ready to test out that 8th Grade French: these are our Europe tours.

Europe tour reviews
Berlin to Venice, August 2018
Vanessa Vivian
Intrepid group travel is by far the best way to travel by tour. The tour leaders are fantastic, the itineraries are great and all the logistics are sorted for you, leaving you to enjoy the ride. I look forward to my next Intrepid adventure.

Highlights of Italy, August 2018
Purvi Shah
Excellent itinerary and team leader Jacopo. Made some fantastic new friends through the tour. Travel light as suggested and carry a raincoat regardless of time of year. Excellent local insights and interactions! Will surely travel the Intrepid way again!

Sail Greece: Mykonos to Santorini , July 2018
Tamar Pankhurst
When travelling with Intrepid, the hard work has already been done. All that you have to do is join in and enjoy. It is often hard when you don't know anyone. By the end of your holiday the strangers you met on Day 1 will feel like lifelong friends.

Madrid to Marrakech, July 2018
Carol Shekell
Wonderful trip, seeing historic sites in Spain and Portugal.The itinerary needs tweaking,it requires a night in Lisbon not a lunch stop.The ferry to Tanger needs to be earlier.

Sardinia & Corsica Sailing Adventure, August 2018
Francesca Distasi
Sailing is the best way to visit Sardinia and a bit of Corsica. Waking up in a beautiful bay, ready to swim in crystal clear waters is a unique experience, not to mention the food you can have everywhere you go in this tour. The good company of like-minded people and of the knowledgeable skipper contributed to make this holiday one I won’t forget.

Eastern Europe Explorer, July 2018
Daniela Walther
Sorry, didn't see another place where to put this comment. There was a guide in our homestay in Romania (Victor) who was absolutely impossible. He told us he 'didn't like to talk' so we should ask him questions. Not easy if you're not aware of what you should ask about. He said the minimum at all times and drank alcohol while guiding our trip. He had clearly no interest in doing his job well. He berated me when I asked a question, he was rude to us women in general.
