What travelers are saying

"An incredible amount is packed into this tour. It's a tiring schedule, but well worth it. The excellent tour leader, Alkan, really brought the history to life. The balance of locations, mixing up historical sights with natural wonders such as Capadoccia and Pamukkale as well as some beautiful seaside resorts, is a great mix. Highly recommended."

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."
