Intrepid did a wonderful job planning a trip that was safe and fun and touched on all of the highlights that I would have wanted to see if I was planning my own tour. The trip was like going on my own tour but without the hassle of having to do a bunch of research and finding accommodations and figuring out transportation ETC. It also was especially good for me as a woman who isn't entirely comfortable with traveling alone, but I still want to have freedom to choose what I want to do at each place. I will definitely recommend Intrepid to any of my traveler friends.Show more
