      What time of year do you normally have sales on tours?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten May 2026

      Our big sale of the year is Black Friday in November, so I would keep an eye peeled for that. Otherwise, sales that we run can pop up randomly throughout other months the year as well. :-)
