Ah, Europe. What is it about sun-soaked vineyards, cobbled lanes and the smell of fresh-baked croissants that draws 460 million people each year?
Sailing along the Cote d’Azur, with the waves of the Med lapping against the hull, or browsing Venetian market stalls, you can’t help but get swept up in the sheer romance of the place. This is the land of Coco Chanel and Bridget Bardot, of Da Vinci, Pavarotti and Puccini (and porcini too, come to think of it). There’s subversive street art for the hip, farm-fresh food for the hungry and a cathedral full of culture for those plagued by incurable wanderlust. Get ready to test out that 8th Grade French: these are our Europe tours.

Highlights of Italy, September 2018
David Chin
This intrepid tour really gives you the highlights of each city and gives you the confidence to go back and take a deeper dive. Make sure you extend your stay in Rome. Do take time to consider whether it is appropriate for age and fitness.

Explore Croatia, September 2018
Josef Bogosian
Well organized trip with a good tour guide. Trip has a bit of free time, so do your research on what activities to do during free days (e.g. Kayaking, Sailing, etc.). Croatia is a tourism hot spot these days, and I don't think it would be difficult to get around without a tour group/guide, but of course it's always nice to have some fellow travelers to share the experience with. In my opinion, Dubrovnik and Split were excellent, and Hvar is worth visiting (especially in peak season it's supposedly a major party/holiday destination). Korcula I personally felt was skip-able, or at least didn't need the extra free day as part of the tour. You may take that into consideration depending on the pace of travel you're looking for, and/or make sure to line up some activities for the free days. Overall I would recommend Intrepid and this tour.

Balkan Adventure, September 2018
Carolyn Prellwitz
This itinerary provides an excellent firsthand understanding of the Balkan peoples in terms of its cultures and history, and in particular the recent 1991-1995 war involving Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Balkan Adventure, September 2018
Lucas Maughan
This is a physically easy trip. You will be going through areas that have recently (1991-95) been ravaged by war and the structural scars are still evident. The physical and psychological trauma of the people is also evident so please be mindful of this and tread lightly from an emotional perspective.

Dubrovnik to Athens, September 2018
Andrea Kurz
Tour that feels like a holiday with no real early morning departures, comfortable transfers and cosy accommodation. Excellent Tour Leader with a lot of experience and things to do for everybody. Wine tasting is very nice and also the selected locations. You'll get insights of the history, culture and people of the five countries.

Croatia & Slovenia, September 2018

This tour contrasted the Dalmatian coast and the hinterland of Croatia into Slovenia. Very interesting!

Balkan Adventure, September 2018
vyas samir
Quite a lot to learn on this trip relating to recent military conflict. Beautiful scenery in Montenegro, South Croatia. Excellent guide and the same top marks for local guides. This isnt a physically demending trip and therefore will suit people of all ages. Hotels are clean, but simple. Good breakfast provided by the hotels. A few long travel days. Longest I believe was 7 hours. I recall only one trip on public bus. Regards Sam V

Barcelona to Berlin, August 2018
Paul Wisniewski
Intrepid made my first trip to Europe way less stressful, and allowed me to just have fun and enjoy the experience. I highly recommend for first-time travelers. Some advice, learn some language basics, like greetings and how to order food. Also, leave room in your itinerary for spontaneity!
