Just completed the 9-day The Balkans Real Food Adventure with Intrepid. This was my first trip with Intrepid and probably will be my last. Apparently, the trip used to be longer, and now it is condensed into just 7 days. This made for very long days, leaving at 0800 in the morning and arriving at the hotel in the evening. There was hardly any time to visit or explore the cities we stayed in and we spent a huge amount of time in the bus driving through the Balkan countries of Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo and Macedonia. I sincerely enjoyed our tour guide Kristina - who was knowledgeable about the area and the Balkan's complex history. But, I did not get that she had much expertise in food or being able to talk about food in an intellectual way. Some of the spots that we visited (olive oil farm, bee keeper, and mussel/oyster found) were stimulating and interesting, but most of the time we just ate out and nothing was ever really explained to use that helped us understand food in this area of EuropeShow more

Reply from: Intrepid Travel
Hi Emily, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the pacing of the itinerary did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your feedback on the amount of time spent on the bus. Travel in this region can be quite difficult and time consuming, and we have also made a commitment to minimising flights on our itineraries where it isn't necessary. This is something we try to make clear in our trip itinerary and information, but we understand that it still did not meet your expectations in this instance. It's great to hear that you had a positive experience with your guide Kristina and many of the included culinary activities, but we're sorry to hear that the context provided around the food fell short of expectations. We hope you still found memorable moments on your journey and we’d be happy to hear more about your experience, please do reach out to us at customercare@intrepidtravel.com, and a member of our Customer Care Team will be happy to assist you.
