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."

What travelers are saying

"Overall an excellent trip, easy cycling with an e-bike (which is needed on the last two days of cycling unless you are very used to riding up hills). Very good standard of hotels. Martin was a brilliant guide and also arranged some lovely restaurants for the group meals. Lots of beautiful coastal scenery. This was the first trip on the refreshed itinerary and there is some fine tuning needed on timings on the day we get the short Ferry."

What travelers are saying

"All stops from the Grand Canyon to Zion National Park were great. Many of the places visited are far from each other. the trip ends in Salt Lake City which is over 5 hours from Zion. There are plenty of bathroom stops along the way. Jason was a great guide and was very knowledgeable. The areas we stopped at for lunch were full of choices and usually gift shops."
