What travelers are saying

"Great trip. My only reservation about the leader was that he tended to walk fast & didn’t look behind to see if everyone was keeping up. I nearly got lost on a few occasions The itinerary was good but I’d like a bit more time in scenic areas to look around, not 5 minutes for a photo then a full 30 minute stop later on at a service station for a toilet stop. Also we got into hotels quite early say 4pm whilst we could have arrived later & stopped a bit more on the way We will book on more Explore trips in the future"

What travelers are saying

"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."
