Questions: In Florence, it states the tour stays in a hostel. Does this mean sharing a room and bathroom with several others or is it a room for two (just me and my son) with a bathroom at a more budget-friendly accommodation? Also, is a hostel included in another city? Does Intrepid offer optional excursions in Rome and Croatia? This gives me an idea on how much to budget. Since only 9 breakfasts are included, are hotels close to budget-friendly cafes?

Questions: Is it possible to call to reserve? Also, after reserving, will I receive confirmation with all hotel names since I need to stay one more night in Rome?

What is considered a Hostel? Is it a hotel or shared rooms. Also, what is the add on for a single traveler.

Accommodation on this trip is on a twin/multishare basis. We pair up solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender. Please note there may be times where facilities will be shared rather than ensuite and rare occasions when you share a room with passengers travelling on different Intrepid trips than your own.

The overall arrangement was very good, in particular for the mix selection of the places, including big cities and nature centers/resorts. The team leaders have done their job well. They were friendly and worked hard to cope with difficult situations such as train cancellations and different requests from the team members. The only failure was the bus trip from Bratislava to Budapest as the condition inside the bus was very poor. There were traffic jams and it took too much time on the road in the uncomfortable bus.Show more

  Questions: Is it possible to call to reserve? Also, after reserving, will I receive confirmation with all hotel names since I need to stay one more night in Rome?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025
  You may book directly through TourRadar, which guarantees your reservation at the confirmed price. Once your booking is complete, we'll send you a detailed confirmation package that includes the full hotel list. This way, you'll be able to arrange any additional nights in Rome if needed. If you'd prefer, you may also call to reserve instead of booking online.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025
  On this trip, accommodation is a mix of simple hotels and some hostels. In Florence (and Dubrovnik, Split, and Zagreb), you'll be staying in a hostel. This typically means a twin-share room rather than large shared dorms, but in some locations bathroom facilities may be shared rather than ensuite. Since many meals are not included, your leader will recommend plenty of budget-friendly cafes and local restaurants near your accommodation, often just a short walk away. Many travellers love this flexibility as it allows you to enjoy authentic local food and set your own budget. Optional activities are available at each stop and can be arranged with your leader.
