    Hi Karen, Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear this trip didn’t meet your expectations in regards to the hotels and breakfasts on offer, although pleased to hear that you considered the location of the hotels throughout the trip to be good. We are also sorry to learn that you felt your tour leader did not provide you with enough information on the places you visited. All Intrepid group trips in Europe are accompanied by one of our local European group leaders. While not being guides in the traditional sense, our leaders are trained to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip. We also aim to support local guides in the individual cities or locations we travel to, we are sorry you were not aware of the option of a local guide service if you were interested in delving deeper into the local culture at any specific site you visited. We are however, pleased to hear that your tour leader was friendly and hope to welcome you on another one of our tours in the future. If you would like to discuss anything further then please do not hesitate to contact us on customercare@intrepidtravel.com. All the best, Intrepid Travel
