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...

    Extremely disappointed that we were not informed of the hotel change at the beginning of the trip. I think it would be beneficial to change the group meeting either early afternoon or after dinner so that people can see the Shanghai skyline at night For the sleeper train book whole section and then split the price so you can be with people you know. Sunny was a great guide. She was very informative, helpful and just an all around lovely person who allowed us to appreciate Chinese culture and hospitality.

    Guide for first half was adequate but not great. Only major activities included not as much free time as suggested in itinerary There were a few issues with the tour and first guide around clarity of itinerary and inclusions. One incident on the tour which was not in style of previous Intrepid trips - One member of the group had a birthday whilst on the trip and a cake was arranged. We later found out that the group member was made to pay for their own birthday cake having not requested it. Normally these items are provided by Intrepid as a gesture of good will. This gave a bad impression of Intrepid to the whole group.
