Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

    Awesome trip, the guide Damrong was awesome, his knowledge and sense of humor made the trip a great experience. Going in I had low expectations as I had never used INTREPID before, but what a fantastic job they did, hotels and itinerary was excellent.

    very enjoyable and interesting trip. The home stays and farm visit were an eye opener.And the temples, they're everywhere one more ornate than the other and so beautiful. I expected a relaxing holiday but it was full of activities and adventures. I highly recomend it.

    The agenda was excellent and the guide, Ole, exceptional. However, the communication between Tourradar and customers as to what to expect and to bring could have been better. None of the homestays had toilet paper or any type of soap, the bathroom doors didn't shut properly, and the second homestay was dirty and uncomfortable. I've stayed at homestays before and they don't need to be that primitive. In addition, our welcome gift was a bag that stated in bold letters "SAY NO TO PLASTICS"; yet, I used more plastic during this tour than I have used in the past 5 years combined. The only water available to drink had to be purchased in small plastic bottles. The homestays obviously appreciated the profit, but the other customers and I were extremely upset at the amount of plastic that we were forced to generate.

    Thanks so much Lisa. We always try to make clean drinking water available, through filters or purchasing in bulk, but that is not always possible. However, we love your commitment toward using less plastic and can assure you we will do all that we can... Show more

    Amazing your. Every day was a new adventure and our guide, Damrong was a fountain of information, energy and patience. The boathouse, the waterfall walk and trekking through the jungle having lunch cooked in banana leaves over the a fire will live with me always.

    Damrong was a fantastic tour leader, very knowledgable and funny. The trip itself incorporated lots of different activities but with also a reasonable amount of free time to do what you wish.

    Our tour guide was incredible and looked after us amazingly well. She made sure we tried all of the foods and saw all of the markets. Even on our free days she was on hand to show us around and make sure we were safe. My partner got ill and she took her to a doctor and translated for her so she was seen and had medication within 15 mins. The trekking started in heavy rain and Is had alternative plans sorted before we had even woken up. The trip wouldn't have been the same without our guide.

    I was brilliantly well looked after by our group leader Is, who went out of her way every day to make sure everything we needed was taken care of. The itinerary was a great mix of cultural experiences with a real emphasis on getting to know the local sights, people, food & businesses.
