I joined an Intrepid trip expecting a safe, respectful and enriching experience. While the destinations were beautiful, my trust in the company was seriously shaken due to inappropriate behavior from our tour leader, which I reported through Intrepid’s feedback process. Throughout the trip, I experienced multiple moments of discomfort involving blurred boundaries and a lack of professionalism from the tour leader, including taking unsolicited photos and behavior that felt invasive. I reported this clearly and promptly after the trip, expecting my concerns to be handled with care. Unfortunately, the investigation concluded as “inconclusive,” despite a detailed account and photographic evidence. I was thanked for my “courage” but ultimately offered no accountability or resolution—not even a partial refund for the disrupted experience. The guide was reportedly given internal training, but as a customer, I was left feeling dismissed. I was eventually asked to suggest a partial refund amount myself—something that should have been proactively addressed by the company, not placed back on the affected traveler. I chose instead to share this review as closure. Intrepid positions itself as a company that prioritizes safety and responsible travel, yet I did not feel that commitment was reflected in how my complaint was handled. If you are a solo female traveler, I recommend exercising caution and asking direct questions about how concerns are escalated and addressed. I sincerely hope the company improves how it supports travelers who speak up and implements stronger measures to prevent situations like this from happening again.Show more
