What travelers are saying

"Our week in Amalfi hiking with our guide Gennaro was great! The first day of hiking was the toughest, split up between the morning/afternoon and I think it was meant to test our ability and pace as a hiking group. My wife and I were the slowest, but the rest of the group was respectful. Gennaro is an awesome guide and has lived in Amalfi his whole life. It's very clear that he loves showing others his part of Italy and he was incredibly helpful at suggesting other things to do and places to see on our day off and in between hikes when we were in different towns. There is one hike I think the second day is a lot of downhill stone steps.. it was rough on the feet and some people took the next day off to recover and relax... and I feel like they missed a really great hike. The accommodations at the hotel were good for Italy.. since everyone rushes from hike to showers before dinners, there are issues with hot water at times. The hotel also supports breakfast, lunch and dinner for other hiking groups as well, so they tend to be either very busy or relaxed depending on the time of day. The menu for breakfast and lunch tends to be limited, but the heated pastries filled with nutella or jam are addictive. The pizza night was great and the amount of different and unique pizzas offered by Risorgimento was great.. we ate until we were beyond stuffed. The pasta/mozzarella class at the agritourismo was also great and it was nice to get hands on with the food we would eat. Other than that, we found that the pizza in all of the Amalfi coast and Naples was top notch and the Enosvapoteca wine bar near the town center and the winery near the agriturismo were hidden gems of the town. With that being said, we were kind of bummed out with the 26 Euro drinks at the port of Capri, Positano was really packed when we went... just a warning for those who visit. The getting up early, hiking all day, rushing to clean up before dinner can get tiring day after day, but I'm glad we chose to go with the flow everyday and see as much as we could."

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

"The tour had an excellent itinerary and activities, giving a broad overview of Peru - we loved it. Accommodations (with one exception) were great, and all had an included breakfast buffet. The tour's included activities (e.g. cooking class, pisco tour and tasting, potato park, boat tour of Isla Ballestas) were terrific. Appreciated the two included flights which saved a lot of driving time. Logistics were handled, and everything was smooth and easy (thanks to our CEO, Mary Chu!)."

What travelers are saying

"First time we (mom and daughter) have done a tour and first time with on the go tours. What a special trip we had doing the 13 day Casablanca to Essaouira Morocco tour (26 Nov - 6 Dec 2023). We started the first 8 days doing the totally Morocco tour and the last few days at our own pace with down time in Essaouira. Jamal our guide led the tour from start to finish and took us safely on a culture filled journey. His knowledge of the country, it’s history and people was informative and inspiring. Every request was “no problem” and delivered with a smile and happy demeanour. Everything in Morrocco was “no problem” and we felt safe and looked after. We were driven in a comfortable coach with enough stops along the way to not feel long by our competent driver Suleman. The hotels, Riad and Dar were extremely comfortable with exceptional service. We would not have had the same experience travelling on our own, we felt as though we truly experienced Morocco. Everything was a highlight for us and we will definitely book another on the go tour in the future. If you wanting to see true Morocco we would strongly recommend doing this tour."
