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

"We saw so very much of Italy in the 2 weeks we were there! If you do the excursions you learn so much from the special tour guides. We are not planners so it was nice having the trip planned for us. The only improvement I would recommend would be getting to go into the Duomo and St. Marks Basilica and Doges Palace. There was limited time to do this on our own. It just means we have to go back again! There was a lot of walking, which we were fine with and everyone on our bus was able to handle. Provisions were made for anyone having a problem. Tour guide Chris was awesome and so was out bus driver Bruno. Coach bus was very comfortable."
