This was a wonderful trip. Lake Titicaca was stunning. Palccoyo Mountain was beautiful & a great introduction to high altitude walking. But the highlight was walking the Inca Trail & reaching Macchu Picchu. It was worth the 4 days of trekking to get that first glimpse through the sun gate. It was simply stunning. Our guide, Will, was exceptional. He took such great care of everyone in the group & shared the highlights of his wonderful country with us. All of the accommodation was great & the camping whilst on the trail was comfortable. The team of porters & cooks were simply brilliant (so much food!) I hope all of the trek team get a fair wage as the work they do is back-breaking. A couple of tips: go a night or 2 earlier if you want to see a bit of Lima. I flew in a day before the group flight & enjoyed seeing the best of the city (2 days was enough though). I’d also recommend getting the train between Puno & Cusco. It was a stunning journey & such a great way to see this beautiful country. If getting to Macchu Picchu is on your bucket list, do it, you won’t regret it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip, it was everything I expected, challenging especially in the wet and the big days, great scenery, great company, and an excellent guide who also had a great sense of humour. I certainly would recommend it to anyone wanting to do it and am very pleased that it was guided as it don’t think I would have ever found my way on an unguided.

Good organisation. The guide, Elie, translated everything in English for me as I was the only non-French in the group. He also prepared delicious meals everyday. Walking pace was good for all the group. Night stays had everything essential and the dinner and breakfasts were also good. Overall, a truly "rustique" adventure in the Swiss Alps, in contact with nature and the mountain.

Highlights of Costa Rica was an excellent trip, it packed in many sites and activities. I was a little apprehensive about the float trip but it was slow and gentle and allowed us to get a unique view from the river. The guide was excellent and pointed out lots of aniand birds. The rain and cloud forests didn't disappoint and I thoroughly enjoyed the fast paced trip.

This was a fairly tough walking trip, with three challenging days (long days, lots of uphill) and two easier days. Certainly not one for the casual, uncommitted weekend walker! The two-night stay in the basic Curmatura hut was not made easier by the very very limited water supply (it was a trickle). There were 15 of us in the group and I thought that was too many for a hard walking trip of this type; 8-10 would have been ideal. The visits to the two castles (Peles and Bran) do not belong on this trip, in my opinion, as they resulted in unnecessarily late finishes to the walking on those days. The final day (Friday) in Bucharest could have been arranged much better, I thought, to avoid us sitting on a bus in traffic for ages. Why not take people straight to the hotel and then explore the city on foot from there?

Base Camp. Two little syllables that conjure up dreams as immense and powerful as the Himalayas themselves. This 15-day trekking trip is your chance to take on the challenge of reaching the mountaineer's base camp and gain an insight into the world-renowned Sherpa culture. You’ll cross glaciers and broad plains, traverse valleys and climb high passes – discovering both the majesty of the mountains and your own potential. Embrace the sense of freedom that comes with leaving cell service behind for card games in basic (but cosy) teahouses. Plus, Intrepid partners with local mountaineering and porter welfare programs, so you can trek easier knowing that while our porters are taking care of you, there’s someone looking out for them. This is a challenging trip and involves difficult trekking at high altitudes, but the whole experience can summed up in two syllables – worth it.

Want to explore Tuscany without a rushed itinerary? Want a small group? Want to hike to wineries and hill towns? Stay in interesting hotels that are hundreds of years old? A wine and food buff? Then this is for you.
I had a great time on this trip. Had a full day in Sienna and a nice orientation tour of Florence (I spent a few extra days) Plus to get to visit lesser known towns that the big companies overlook. My favorite was Pienza. A nice little town that also had my favorite hotel and great places to eat. And yes, we tasted wonderful Italian wines, as well as the best cold cuts and cheeses I’ve ever tasted. And did I also mention hiking to wineries and hill towns? Wonderful sights, with spectacular views. One hike it rained towards the end, but that didn’t dampen our spirits.

Came to Australia on my own and felt immediately included as part of the group. All my tour leaders were engaging and really helped guide me with my experience.
Would highly recommend using this company and will likely do so myself again in the future!
