Commonly compared with G Adventures »
Intrepid Travel is all about ‘real life experiences.’ With a name meaning fearless and adventurous, Intrepid offers nothing less than big travel adventures -- such as an 11-day hike through Papua New Guinea. However, Intrepid is broad-based enough to offer varied experiences such as food tours in Greece, complete with a visit to a Kalamata olive grove.
What Makes Intrepid Travel Stand Out?
Responsible travel
Industry experts
Authentic experiences
Small groups
Intrepid believes that with great travel experiences comes great responsibility. They are focused on responsible tourism which includes not only treading lightly but also making a positive impact on the destinations they send travelers to. As a Certified B Corp since 2018, Intrepid donates to grass root projects around the world, are a carbon-neutral business and are committed to animal welfare.
Travelers can rest assured when they travel with Intrepid because they will be in the hands of industry experts. Intrepid partners with local leaders to be guides for travelers. This gives travelers first hand experiences from someone who knows the area well.
Above all else, Intrepid strives to get its travelers off the beaten path and under the surface of the local culture. To accomplish this, group sizes are small, maximum of 16 on most trips. This allows for more use of local transportation and lodging, along with fostering cultural immersion. Intrepid also employs local English-speaking leaders who act more as a resource for local exploration than do typical ‘guides,’ shepherding groups from one place to another.
Who Will Enjoy Traveling With Intrepid Travel?
All ages
All types of travelers
Cultural enthusiasts
Intrepid is one of the early pioneers of the “adventure”-style guided trip. Despite its informal beginnings and emphasis on younger, highly adventurous travelers, Intrepid has expanded to a global company with a broad range of trips to fit all ages.
Intrepid divides its small-group trips into three separate styles of travel, all priced accordingly. “Basix,” for budget travelers, keep inclusions to a minimum and offer plenty of free time. “Original” journeys offer more included activities and hotels, while “Comfort” trips offer luxury experiences that include the highest level of included activities and standards of accommodation, as well as roomier vehicles. No matter what kind of traveler you are, there is a style right for your specific desires.
The age range on Intrepid tours varies widely from tour to tour, and they are welcoming to all ages. The only exception to this are their 18-29 themed tours which are specifically for that age group.
Intrepid travelers have a real sense of adventure - whether this means hard adventure, or simply going deeper off the beaten path. Interacting with locals is an important factor when you travel, as is gaining a unique cultural perspective. A sense of fun is also essential, whether it means going out at night with your tour mates, trying new foods, or exploring the local markets.
Which is better? Intrepid Travel or G Adventures?
Commonly compared, both G Adventures and Intrepid Travel specialize in culturally immersive and off-the-beaten-path experiences. They are top companies to consider if you enjoy local & authetic travel and value having lots of free time during the itinerary. See our ultimate guide to decide which is right for you: Intrepid vs G Adventures, full comparison »
Top Destinations
Originally focused on small group adventure tours to Asia, Intrepid has expanded rapidly over the years, while maintaining its classic, adventurous, and immersive style. Today Intrepid Travel offers more than 1,000 different experiences in over 100 countries, on all seven continents. Regions with the most trips include Asia, South America, Africa, and Europe.
Does Intrepid Travel include flights?
While all your internal transportation is taken care of, often utilizing traditiona local methods such as tuk-tuks in Thailand, international flights to and from your home and the tour destination are not included. Their travel specialists can recommend where to look for flights however.
Intrepid Travel Style
Intrepid enjoys using local, unique forms of transportation. You might find yourself traveling by felucca in Egypt or in a tuk-tuk on the best Thailand tour of your life.
Accommodations, which could range from guesthouses to home stays, are also locally owned, allowing a more authentic taste of the region while contributing to the local economy.
There are a few broad travel styles to choose from when deciding on an Intrepid tour:
1. Basix - Budget travelers who don’t mind, and in fact prefer, simple accommodations - camping and homestays with basic amenities, and crave a lot of free time for exploring independently will love these tours. Public transportation is used exclusively so pack light! These trips often attract a younger crowd who love the idea of throwing a backpack on, keep plenty of room for the unexpected in their schedule, and allocate their travel funds towards spontaneous bus tickets and street food instead of museum tours and 5 star restaurants.
2. Original - These trips take the backpacker spirit of local immersion, incorporating all the benefits that come with going with a planned itinerary. This style is called “Original” because it’s the type of travel that put Intrepid on the map...pun intended. Accommodations are still simple and budget minded - often homestays are used to give you a true sense of place, personality, and culture. Mostly public transportation is used.
3. Comfort - Intrepid is known for the active adventure style of travel and these trips keep that mentality, with a few more creature comforts thrown into the mix. You can expect higher luxury accommodations that include a wider variety of included amenities, transportation is mostly private, though you can still expect to use some public transport, as is the Intrepid way. More meals are included in the trip price, and more group activities - which means a bit less free time to explore on your own.
Why Choose a Tour With Intrepid Travel?
Intrepid is a good tour company if you don’t mind foregoing some creature comforts for a truly authentic, local experience. If you enjoy meeting locals when traveling, sampling new and exciting foods, and traveling in mixed-aged groups of 10-16 people, Intrepid could be a good fit for you.
It’s important to note, sometimes “ample free time” can be a blessing and a curse. It sounds great on paper, but if you’re looking to maximize your dollar and your vacation time, be sure you understand the implications of having a lot of free time during your itinerary.
For some travelers this is an absolute requirement, but for others it can be tough to branch off and explore independently - you also need to make sure you allocate enough travel money for independent meals.
The tour leaders are great resources of information for how to spend your free time, but if you like having a full day scheduled from breakfast to dinner, Intrepid may not be the best company for you.
Lastly, if sustainable and responsible travel is important to you, Intrepid has poured millions of dollars into local economies, and has a very strong emphasis on responsible travel. So you can feel good knowing that your money helps support some of the innkeepers, vendors, and communities that you’ll meet along the way.
Is Intrepid Travel Safe?
Yes, Intrepid is a very safe company to travel with and they take the safety of their tour goers very seriously.
In response to Covid-19, Intrepid has reduced their group size to an average of 10 people. Their guides have been fully trained on new sanitation requirements and Covid-19 health and safety guidelines.
They have also implemented flexible booking options.

We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food…
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.
Central Asia Explorer
This was my third trip with Intrepid, and I'll continue to plan future trips with them. I choose Intrepid to travel to parts of the world where I don't feel comfortable traveling alone, and the experience is always memorable. Intrepid provides experiences that would be difficult for a traveler to do on their own. The most recent trip I did was to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, and it was a fantastic experience.

What Makes Trafalgar Tours Stand Out?
Great value for pricing and inclusions
Comfortable, not physically demanding tours
Largely focused on cultural immersion
Hand-picked accommodations
Strong reputation
Dedicated to responsible tourism - Founding member of TreadRight Foundation
Good balance of free time and inclusions
Trafalgar is a group tour operator and one of the world’s most awarded tour companies. With over 70 years of experience, they unlock the best of the world from iconic experiences you’ve always dreamed of to getting to know the locals all while having everything taken care of for you every step of the way.
Tours with Trafalgar are comfortable, not too physically demanding, and offer the opportunity to meet, talk, eat and drink with locals. You’ll get to know chefs, artisans, craftsmen, historians, and farmers as you explore what makes each destination truly special.
Trafalgar has a strong reputation, having been around since 1947 - putting them right at the pinnacle of when many premier guided tour companies were established. You’ll meet groups of like minded travelers, enjoy cultural experiences, expertly crafted itineraries with local touches and experiences guides, while traveling in comfort and ease.
Who Will Enjoy Traveling With Trafalgar?
Older travelers (but all ages are welcome)
Families
Mid to high range budget travelers
Those who enjoy slow-paced itineraries and easy physical activity
Those who favor historic sightseeing & cultural immersion over hard core adventure
If you are an active traveler, perhaps recently retired, eager to explore the world in comfort, visiting a nice combination of unique local spots and classic sites, then Trafalgar could be a great choice.
Possibly you are new to group tours and packages, having been used to creating your own travel experiences at a younger age - Trafalgar provides the perfect introduction to group tours.
You'll have plenty of free time to explore on your own, for shopping, sightseeing, and meals away from the group. Optional excursions are available throughout the itinerary for when you want a bit more structure.
Families will also get a lot out of the Trafalgar travel experience. If you're seeking a family vacation and interested in introducing a new generation of travelers to your favorite country - but don’t really have the time or patience to worry about planning out all the logistics - Trafalgar could be a great choice.
While they offer many trip styles, suitable for travelers of all ages, their classic touch is popular among older travelers. Classic doesn’t mean old fashioned or tired - simply a bit less on the active adventure and more on the historic sights and cultural experiences. They have a number of family focused tours, as well as tailored trips for special interests.
Trafalgar trips are budget friendly, with most trips in middle to low range, including a “Cost Saver” feature that allows you to see more inexpensive trips broken down by ratings and cost clearly. They offer several deals on trips throughout the year.
Trafalgar is a British brand, so many of the attendees on your tour will be from the UK.
Top Destinations
Europe & the UK
USA and Canada
Australia & New Zealand
Asia
South America
With Trafalgar, you can find trips to Europe, USA & Canada, South America, Asia, Australia & New Zealand. While the destinations are widespread, Trafalgar trips explore the culture and their highly trained local guides take you to hidden local spots without venturing too far outside the comfort zone.
Tours in Europe and the UK are among the most popular itineraries, utlizing guest houses and even castles for accommodation!
Their USA & Canada tours are extremely popular for outdoorsy travelers. National Parks are a common itinerary item, as are trips along the Rocky Mountaineer railroad.
In South America, Trafalgar travels to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Peru. In Africa, they go to Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa. In Asia, it’s Cambodia, China, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
And in the Pacific, Trafalgar visits Australia and New Zealand - some trips in this region are more basic when it comes to accommodation so be sure to read the itinerary carefully!
Wherever you go, you can expect high quality guides, unique destination-specific accommodations, and smooth travels.
They also have a number of religious themed tours, including trips that include excursions to Oberammergau, Bavaria. Once a decade this small town presents a Passion Play, and Trafalgar has had special access since 1970. The next time to experience this unique event is 2020.
Trafalgar Travel Style
The Trafalgar travel style is all about getting to know the culture through activities and connecting with locals. Their main tagline is “Discover the Good Life”. On Trafalgar tours, you get to experience the real thing in a safe, escorted environment with knowledgeable guides there to help with the language and provide historical and cultural context.
"Discovering the Good Life" encompasses perks like skipping lines and private access to classic sites; and unique experiences that bring you to places and among people you’d never have the chance to meet traveling on your own.
This kind of travel is local immersion, but not in the same way a 25 year old might interpret that idea.
Rather than bunking at hostels, going out late at night, and enjoying potentially questionable street food, you’ll stay in premium, centrally located and culturally significant accommodations - everything from bed and breakfasts in Ireland to hotels right on the banks of Norwegian fjords.
Learn cooking techniques in Italy, enjoy private winery tours at French chateaus, and touring a small olive farm in Spain are just a few examples of the kind of unique travel experiences you can expect with Trafalgar.
Groups are large, typically between 40-45 travelers, a max of 52 on trips in the USA and Canada. Primary transportation during the tour is in large coaches, equipped with WiFi (with the exception of Alaska) and featuring large viewing windows - ideal for taking in the scenery as you head to your next spot on the itinerary.
Most meals during Trafalgar tours are included. Trips often include free time during which you can explore on your own, with suggestions from your expert guides.
Why Choose a Tour with Trafalgar?
Well known company
Culturally rich experiences in comfort
Many activities included, plus some optional choices
All guides are expertly trained
Large groups of international travelers
Trafalgar has a solid reputation, and they stick to what they’ve done well for over 50 years. They focus on the classics, providing a culturally rich perspective as you meet locals along the way. Their experience has allowed them to cultivate relationships around the world with local businesses - quality control you can trust for every stop along the trip.
Niche tours based on specialized interests are also something they are proud to offer. Trafalgar is where you go to have the essentials and logistics take care of seamlessly while you sit back and enjoy. Do note that these tours can be quite large - 40 people traveling together in a tour group can be stifling for some.
While they appeal to an older crowd due to their history and recognizable name, Trafalgar has an impressively well integrated social media presence. Trips on their site are accompanied by instagram posts from real travelers who have been on the same tour, using the hashtag #SimplyTrafalgar.
Old or young(ish), couple or single, traveling Simply Trafalgar inspires confidence, comfort, and enjoyment.

Great trip
Contrasts of Italy
Trafalger provided excellent service throughout the tour. They took care of getting our baggage where it needed to go, the fast train between cities and made it easy, and had the coach bus ready to go when we needed it. A daily schedule was always emailed to us the prior night for the next day so there would be no surprises. Everything was very well run.

We have just finished the “Sail the Cyclades islands 5 days”. It was a fantastic trip with a great balance between sailing, beautiful hiking, and great food. Andreas our skipper was informative and diligent and Dimitris the owner was great to deal with from the moment we booked. I couldn’t recommend Personality Journeys enough.

Global Basecamps specializes in designing custom tours for those who want to travel independently but also want support while doing so. With help from the Global Basecamps team, you can choose your own itinerary and be as flexible as you want to be. Meanwhile, Global Basecamps promises support before, during, and after your trip.
That support includes advice and help with planning and logistics; selecting and booking transportation, restaurants, lodgings, and activities; and arranging for local tour guides and transfers. But you’ll be traveling on your own rather than with a group, and have full say in where you want to go and for how long, and what you want to do while there. They will arrange safaris, treks, small ship cruises and other tours from Morocco to Ecuador, Japan to Uganda.
Global Basecamps outlines a number of tours that you could take, for “inspiration” -- such as “Beyond the Big Five: Uganda, Tanzania and the Spice Island” (Zanzibar), one of National Geographic Traveler’s pick for Top Africa Tours of a Lifetime for 2014 -- but you’re free to modify it as you like. In general, expect to pay more for customized independent trips than for group travel, though you can customize the budget level you feel comfortable with as your arrangements are made.
The company prides itself on fostering sustainable tourism and environmentally friendly lodgings, and works with local guides and outfitters to benefit economies in the countries visited.

With Peregrine Adventures, ‘anywhere is possible.’ Based in Australia, Peregrine has led small-group, ‘soft’ adventure-style trips worldwide for over 30 years. It was one of the first operators to employ local leaders, a practice that is now widespread in guided travel.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
While considering itself an adventure travel company, Peregrine promises to “smooth down the bumps and rough edges.” In short, it’s more about soft adventure with added comforts than roughing it. Group sizes are kept small, with no more than 16 travelers per trip. Its philosophy is that while “seeing the famous sites is a must, it’s those memories of wandering through a little village or sharing dinner with a local family that leave a lasting impression.” The small-group aspect allows for more time to absorb the nature of the places visited, and to make a minimal environmental impact on them as well.
Who Travels With Them?
While Peregrine is a global company, many of its travelers originate from Australia and New Zealand. However, their groups can be geographically diverse, with most travelers 50+ years of age.
Where Do They Operate? Peregrine offers a wide variety of exciting global destinations, with 200 trips across 80 countries -- spanning from Egypt to Turkey to Canada trips! The company is perhaps best known for its Himalayan trekking excursions to far-flung destinations including Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. It was a pioneer in high-altitude trekking and these trips remain among their most popular today.
How Does it Work?
Most travel is by private, air-conditioned minibus, but you might find yourself on a houseboat in Kerala, India, a tuk-tuk in Sri Lanka, or a mountain lift on the best Switzerland tour you've ever experienced. Lodging and dining is at smaller, locally run hotels and restaurants. You might also dine with locals from time to time, and stay with local families or at campsites as well.
Why Travel With Them?
Peregrine is a good choice if you’re looking for a bit of a softer landing with respect to transportation and accommodations but still crave an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience. If you’re looking for more individual travel, Peregrine will craft independent journeys, arrange self-guided walking and cycling tours, or arrange private group and tailor-made trips. It’s your choice. Peregrine also helps support various community and conservation projects via its ties with the Intrepid Foundation.

Since 2005, Memorable India has been operating culturally immersive trips throughout the Indian sub continent.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
The company has deep ties to India and many of its employees and tours guides are native Indians themselves. Their knowledge of the country, nuances, cultural and historical information make a trip with them incredibly meaningful.
Who Travels With Them?
If you’re looking for a well rounded experience in India, with a lot of in country assistance (they pick you up from the airport and are available for any help you need).
Where Do They Operate?
All throughout the Indian sub continent, with particular emphasis on India, Nepal, and Bhutan. They offer a variety of themed tours and custom itineraries.
Why Travel With Them?
For the many options for choosing how you want to travel. Either choose from one of their pre-set itineraries, or use their sample itineraries to help you come up with a custom idea - which they will then help you solidify with one-on-one attention.

Peru and Machu Picchu experts providing several itineraries to Machu Picchu and the surrounding country.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
The provide a large variety of Machu Picchu experiences, including treks along the numerous trail routes such as the Inca Trail, Salkantay, and Lares Trek. They also offer tours around wider Peru, exploring Manu, Puno and elsewhere. They have a very local focus and their guides will share unique stories and perspectives on the history of Peru and the Inca heritage.
Who Travels With Them?
If you are an active traveler, ready for an adventure, you’ll fit in well. Most of their tours will deal with the elements in some way, including rapid altitude changes. You’ll also be hiking long distances on the treks to Machu Picchu. Their other tours around Peru are outdoor focused but less strenuous options are available.
Where Do They Operate?
They are entirely focused in Peru, specializing in treks to Machu Picchu. Other tours visit Cusco, Manu, Puno, and Arequipa.
Why Travel With Them?
For an exciting Peru journey led by knowledgeable local experts. Especially if you are interested in visiting Machu Picchu, they have numerous options available for different physical levels and depending on how long you want to hike. Given that they only focus on Peru, if specialization is important to you, they are a great choice.

Double pricing schemes at already overpriced tours
Conde travel has a comparatively good English website and uses this for what its worth. The 5D/4N with rafting, zip-line and train cost 220 USD at most places in Cusco. Conde sells this for 495, reduced from 522. This is more than twice the price. Having finished this trip doing many activities with other groups from other agencies and talking with them we can say that they do not deliver better service or quality than their competitors. What is actually worse is that they sell the tour much cheaper at the counter, only 320 USD. We asked one of the managers why they had this big difference between online prices and over the counter, and even when pressed with the tourist police present - at our request - he could not come up with any better excuse that they had to cover VISA-charges. This is if course a lie, since they offer to use VISA to play for tours over the counter as well. Most agencies offer cheaper prices online since you prepay, but Conde cheats on the prices to fool unknowing tourists.
The only thing to say is stay far away from this company.
After posting this review we have been threatened with a lawsuit for defamation!
Wonderful & unforgettable experience!
We did the 4 day Inca Trail (Biking,Rafting,Ziplining). Every detail of our trip was perfect. They accommodated our large group (18 of us) ages (18-63). Our tour guides were Jai & Jose which were both wonderful. Whether you’re athletic or just looking for some adventure they work with you. Once we returned to Cusco after the 4 days we stayed 1 night at the Conde Hostel which was clean and cozy with very nice staff and the following morning Luis took some of our group to explore Cusco. I would definitely recommend this tour for someone looking to explore Peru in a different manner. Wonderful & unforgettable experience!

Geckos, a sister company of Intrepid Travel, focuses on the “young, adventurous, and penniless.” They say they do the “hard haggling” for you so you can save money and enjoy yourself more on your trip.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
Geckos is adventure travel for the young, budget-minded traveler, with an eye toward responsible travel. This means traveling in small groups, mostly averaging 9 passengers, and never over 15. With Geckos Adventures, you can really ‘run wild’ as you explore a destination in a small group environment.
Who Travels With Them?
Most of Geckos’ small-group trips are now strictly for 18-29 year olds who are willing to step outside their comfort zones. Namely, they’re happy to ride public transport, bed down in family-run places, and want plenty of free time. Geckos stresses that their trips are for “travelers, not tourists.” Some “All Age” trips are offered for those who are “young at heart” but over 40. Groups are somewhat geographically diverse, but the majority of travelers hail from Australia and New Zealand.
Where Do They Operate?
Geckos offers a huge variety of exciting global destinations, with 200+ trips across all seven continents. The company is perhaps best known for its South-east Asia trips to places like Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos.
How Does it Work?
Geckos aims to keep its prices on the lower side, but this doesn’t mean skimping on experience. Accommodations are all locally owned and can range from shared guesthouses, to homestays, to an overnight train. As Geckos says, its hotels are always “cheap and cheerful” and “clean, comfortable, and centrally located.” Prices include some meals and some activities, a knowledgeable local guide, and all forms of transport (usually local, and anything from buses to bikes, trains to ferries, cable cars to camels).
Why Travel With Them?
Geckos is a good choice if you’re between the ages of 18-39 and looking for a fun, cheap, no-frills, and authentic adventure. Geckos itineraries provide plenty of free time and flexibility, plus the ability to budget more on the ground instead of paying for activities ahead of time. Additionally, Geckos will arrange a private tour geared to your own interests. Repeat customers get discounts on subsequent trips – and if you turn 40 in the meantime, and are no longer eligible for Geckos, you can apply the discount to an Intrepid trip.

I really enjoyed having a small group
Real Mexico was my first intrepid tour. I really enjoyed having a small group and being able to embrace in local culture. I would highly recommend my trip manager, Jasson. He always went above and beyond for myself and my group in order to ensure our safety and comfort during our holiday.

What Makes Them Stand Out?
They provide unique, fully customized tours for travelers who want to be active, stay local, and truly experience destinations in a new way. Their destination specialist team are passionate travelers themselves and have years of experience in their areas of expertise, so you know you’re in good hands. Mongol provides exceptional and highly personalized customer service - available to assist you through all stages of the trip planning process, including a network of local guides and personnel who are available during your journey.
Who Travels With Them?
Adventurous travelers seeking an exciting and new travel experience. If you’ve been somewhere once already, this is the kind of travel experience that introduces you to a new side of a destination. All ages are welcome. Private groups of friends or families may be particularly interested in the ability to have input over the itinerary. Their non-private small group tours have a max of 20 people, keeping the experience intimate.
Where Do They Operate?
Tours are available around the world (except Antarctica) and the same tour type options are available everywhere, including designing your own tour. While an average of 6-7 countries are offered in each region (in Europe, for example they currently offer travel in Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom), they are consistently adding new destinations.
Why Travel With Them?
They serve the type of person who “works to live but lives to travel”. In this sense you should travel with the help of their destination specialists if you’re looking for an immersive, experiential, adventurous travel experience. They assist with all aspects of the travel planning, from conception to flights, to meeting you on the ground. They are big on helping you find a fit that doesn’t mean you “settle” for a packaged tour that might be 90% perfect, but maybe doesn’t visit a certain site that you were really hoping to see.

With a focus in Morocco, they offer adventure tours for culturally curious travelers.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
They offer specially curated adventure programs including hiking and rock climbing tours and courses, desert trekking, cultural exchange programs, canyoning, kayaking, sailing and surfing, These among other adrenaline-fueled activities, with all necessary logistic support provided. It’s an adventure tour in unique destinations.
Who Travels With Them?
Travelers of all ages willing to live an adventure in the nature by practicing any of the sports we offer and at the same time having a cultural exchanges with local communities. Adventure activities sometimes require a relatively good level of physical fitness and agility so check what kinds of activities your tour will entail.
Where Do They Operate?
Their tours operate in Morocco, South Spain, and the Greek Islands.
How Does it Work?
They try to stay away from tourist-heavy accommodations and be closer to local and familiar accommodations, for example traditional riads and guest houses. In some of their tours you will also spend some nights in tents. They use mini-buses to transfer their clients from the accommodation to the activity.
Why Travel With Them?
This is a “typical” adventure trip in which travelers will enjoy nature practicing an active sport such as canyoning or trekking. But you will also experience a cultural exchange with local communities and a chance to travel in a sustainable way, learning how to respect the environment.

My friend and I did the Middle Atlas Canyoning Escape and I absolutely loved the tour!! There ended up only being the two of us so it was basically a private tour. The people were very nice and the food was amazing and home cooked. Highly recommend!!
So difficult to say
It was a mixed holiday with Rug & Rock. A good couple of days hiking in the Atlas Mountains with a guide. Fell very short on the local interaction promised at the overnight stop. Then 4 adults plus driver were squeezed into a normal car for an 11 hour day of travel. Really uncomfortable and distracted from the journey. Followed by a super night at the oasis and a quick walk in the morning. We quickly learned that our guide was little more than a driver and he had little to tell us. Again fell short on the interaction with locals. Next couple of days were heavy in the car and short on insights and local interaction. Then we had a fantastic camel walk and overnight stay in the desert which made up for a lot. Followed by another day in the car. The night before a mornings climb we stayed in a European style house with a French proprietor and again no interaction with the locals. The climbing was a lot of fun although the guides english was dangerously inadequate for shouting instructions when 20 metres up a rock face. Followed by more time in the car and a stay at a nice place in Marakesh.
So difficult to say - had some real hi-lights and fun. However fell far short on Rug & Rock's mission to interact with locals - it simply just didn't happen. The car was a real disappointment - I can't think what R&R were thinking of other than their margins. Given how many hours we spent in the car it was really disappointing.
I would not travel with R&R again.

Also called “Kenya Safaris” this company is very locally minded, offering boutique travel experiences including honeymoon, and fully customized travel.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
Elite Luxury Kenya provides a travel experience in Kenya that will introduce travelers to another side of the African safari. No frills, yet comfortable, the travel options seem to distinctly be designed to showcase traveling beyond the safari. Though this is not to say safari’s are not a focus. Rather for them, a safari holiday with them means you’ll get a very diverse tour in terms of activities, excursions, and accommodations.
Who Travels With Them?
Those seeking an affordable Kenya, Tanzania, and / or Uganda experience. Their tours are private and completely customizable. As a smaller company travelers may find that accommodations are less luxury in feel than an established luxury safari brand, however you will be very comfortable and well taken care of. And if local touches are important to you, these will make your trip especially enjoyable.
Where Do They Operate?
Despite what the name suggests, Elite Luxury Kenya also provides tours in Tanzania and Uganda. Part of their mission is to introduce travelers to Kenya and these other destinations beyond the typical safari. To that end you may enjoy a beach holiday, gorilla trek, or hike up Mount Kenya.
Why Travel With Them?
Kenya based and small, traveling with them is a way to support local business and in return have a fully local experience. You will get a sense of the “real” Kenya, while also experiencing all the classic safari moments.
Tours are led by local knowledgeable guides, and your trip is designed by experts for a personalized touch - this helps ensure your trip to Kenya fulfills everything you want to see.

Umbria Con Me is a well established tour company, located in Assisi Italy. They have been operating local tours around Umbria for the past 20 years.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
Umbria Con Me connects travelers with a local tour guide who can show them all the best things about the Umbria region from their unique perspective. Their guided tours include such special experiences as wine cellar tours, activities like hiking and biking, and visits to both classic sites and small off beat locations.
Who Travels With Them?
Umbria Con Me is open to international travelers interested in experiencing the classic Umbria region, but who are looking for a insider’s local view as well. Their typical traveler is between 40 and 60 years old. If you enjoy a personalized experience you will appreciate their approach to ensuring each visit is catered to your interests. Both active travelers who enjoy outdoor activities and those more inclined to enjoy walking tours and museums will find an Umbria tour experience to their liking.
Where Do They Operate?
As the name suggests, Umbria con me operates their tours on the Umbria region of Italy. They focus on providing a unique local look at the area, visiting establishments and sites many tourists miss. Umbria lies right in the center of Italy, surrounded by Tuscany, Marche, and Lazio. It is the only region in Italy to not have a coastline or border another country. Some of their tours also visit Tuscany and Rome.
How Does it Work?
Transport is by private van. Accommodation is in 3 or 4 star hotels. If you choose not to do a private tour, the group sizes are between 4-8 max.
Why Travel With Them?
For the flexibility and personalized approach to travel through a wonderful and fascinating region of Italy. Get to know the culture of Umbria through the lens of a local. You’ll be treated to unique experiences like cooking classes, truffle hunts, and wine tasting, and their relationships with many local businesses help give you the best service possible.

Founded in 2004, My Way Travel specializes in customized tours in Southeast Asia.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
They are experts in their region, providing highly personalized and tailor made itineraries based on your interests and budget. They offer several different types of trip, including Halong Bay and Mekong river cruises. While most trips to Southeast Asia, including theirs, tend to feature more than one county, they take care to focus on what makes each individual country special and highlight it.
Who Travels With Them?
Travelers looking for a personalized journey and who enjoy having input in the travel planning. They cater to multiple travel styles from adventure to family travel to luxurious cruises.
Where Do They Operate?
They specialize in the countries of Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand.
Why Travel With Them?
If you’re interested in having a lot of creative control over what you see and do on your vacation to Southeast Asia, this is a great company to consider. It does mean you get out of it what you put into it. Meaning that a little bit of personal outside research may be necessary before inquiring with them so you have some background in order to describe what you want. But you will also be working with travel experts who can help hone your ideas.

Unsound business practices
Unsound business practices. The full price of the tour Greece Classics was not communicated at the time of booking. Were asked to pay 73 Euros per person in cash for museum entry tickets once landed in Athenes airport. (12% of the price of the tour). Only AFTER payment for the tour was made received a pre-departure pack file where it was stated that admission tickets were not included in the price of the tour. That same file contained the list of museums and sites we were supposed to visit where every single one was listed as FREE. Very misleading. None of the other travellers who were with us on the tour and who booked through different travel agents had the same problem.

Founded in 1996, smarTours promises its customers the “Best Travel Bargains” by offering mostly all-inclusive guided tours throughout much of the world.
What Makes SmarTours Stand Out?
Airfare included
Affordable trips
Numerous ways to save
Local guides
Destinations around the world
SmarTours offers affordable tours along with great itineraries. Included in the price of all their tours is international airfare from the U.S., first-class hotels, sightseeing excursions, and English-speaking local guides.
SmarTours draws a large repeat business, taking travelers to such far-flung destinations as Thailand, Morocco, Japan, Peru, Patagonia, India, and Australia.
Who Will Enjoy Traveling with SmarTours?
Budget travelers
Social travelers
History and culture lovers
Travelers who love traveling and care about experiencing the destination above all else - tourist sites, history, and culture - will love the feel of a SmarTours trip.
These tours are definitely for the budget minded - SmarTours offers numerous deals and specials throughout the year, and provides many other ways you can save money as well, including referring your friends and being a repeat SmarTours traveler.
Trips are comfortable and well guided, if not luxury or especially unique in tone. Airfare is included, which is a major selling point for SmarTours travelers.
SmarTours is perfect for the traveler who wants to get the most out of their travel experience, in terms of inclusions and time spent exploring the sites, both with a guide and with free time. If you are looking for a more cultivated, personalized experience, the SmarTours focus on keeping costs low doesn’t always allow for this. That said, this is budget travel that strives to appeal to a wider range.
SmarTours caters to all ages that are looking for good prices. They are largely popular amongst middle aged, 50+ travelers, and families.
Top Destinations
SmarTours travels all over the world, including Africa, Asia, South America and Cuba, Western and Eastern Europe, and the Mediterranean. Diverse itineraries are available in each destination.
SmarTours Travel Style
Large coaches
River and small ship cruises
Except for its cruise offerings -- primarily river cruises as well as Greek Island and Galapagos cruises -- transportation is generally by bus. Group sizes can reach 40 and beyond, but may also be smaller depending on the popularity of the trip. SmarTours will design custom trips for groups with at least 25-30 travelers.
Accommodations are between value and premium, comfortable with a step above basic amenities. You won’t spend much time in your hotel, as SmarTours makes the focus about the travel experiences on the ground. They care about ensuring that you have as much time as possible to explore with the guide and on your own.
Why Choose a Tour With SmarTours?
SmarTours is a complete bargain package for budget minded travelers. If you are looking for an unbeatable value, don’t mind a large group and want tours focused on exotic destinations, then SmarTours is a perfect choice for you.

Just Say No!
Jan 2020, three of us booked the Enchanting Peru trip for Sep 2020. The trip was cancelled due to the pandemic and the bankruptcy of SmarTours. They were the only tour company that I did business with that went bankrupt.
On Feb 3, 2021 SmarTours sent me an email confirming my $300 credit for future travel. For three people that’s a total of $900. On May 15, 2023, Theresa Meyer, Co-President emailed me to use my credit and “to invite me to travel with us again.”
I responded to the invitation and offered a creative, Win Win solution, please use our $900 to book a day tour for us with one of their business partners. Theresa ultimately responded, “Unfortunately this is not something we can do. All of our partners are B2B and do not directly work with customers on individual day tours or excursions. It sounds like the best bet would be to transfer your credits to someone who is interested in going on one of our full trips. You may all transfer your credits to anyone you like. If they book their own airfare independently, we have several trips that come in under $2000 per person, inclusive of guide, entrance fees, hotels and transportation, covering anywhere from 7 to 13 days. Which is an incredible value. We do not offer any tours for only $300 or $900.”
Well I thought SmarTours was a business that used business partners which is B2B. In the time she took to craft that response she could have gone on Viator, GetYourGuide, or TripAdvisor to book a day tour for us.
I do not recommend using this tour company.
