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

"This trip was a good mix of cycling through rural Spain and cultural visits to castles, monasteries, and sanctuaries. Most of the cycling was on cycle tracks or minor roads, with very little traffic. The few hills that we did encounter were not too strenuous! Alex was an excellent guide who shared all his knowledge of the regions history, culture, industry and importantly cuisine. The trip was well planned and organised. The hotels were of a good standard, clean and comfortable. The monastery in Caravaca de la Cruz was very peaceful. My favourite place was Caravaca de la Cruz. The town had a lot of history, combined with good bars and restaurants made it a perfect place to be based for 3 nights. The last day of cycling down the river valley from Cieza back to Murcia was a brilliant day’s ride. We followed the river through farmland, villages, and towns back to the city. The smell of orange blossom as we went through the orchards was amazing. The scenery in the morning was stunning and the riverside track into Murcia was the perfect end to the trip. I would recommend this trip."

What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

California Tour Selection Trips

  • California is quite expansive, and unless you have an extended amount of time to devote, it’s worth just focusing on one specific area. Try a wine-tasting tour, or a stay at Yosemite Valley Lodge.
  • California is more than just sun and surf! There’s also mountains, snow, vineyards, and desert.
  • Wine tasting is a popular activity for locals as well as visitors. Heed proper wine tasting etiquette to ensure an enjoyable time for all.
