What travelers are saying

"This tour was one of our favorites. The tour leaders (Claudio and Tiziana) were great. The Dolomites and Italian Alps were breathtaking and the bike paths and towns were well chosen to give us a great appreciation of this Alpine countryside. Once out of Venice you really feel like you are in the country with beautiful mountains, alpine chalets and in some areas mostly German speaking residents. The biking was mostly flat with some crazy fun downhill rides. Almost all of the cycling was on bike paths, so very safe and quiet riding. As expected, VBT delivered a great tour with very good accommodations, good food and a really great group of travellers."

What travelers are saying

"Geoff helped my wife and I to put together an itinerary that customized to our particular interests and preferences. At the outset he asked us where we'd like to go and, after a small number of iterations, together we were able able to craft an itinerary that met our budget, touched on much of the places we wanted, and did not have us staying at a different resort each night. Before leaving for our trip we were given our itinerary and confirmation #'s/vouchers/contact #'s for all of our activities and hotels captured in an easy-to-use app that made it extremely easy to transition to the next point of our journey. He and his assistant were quick to respond to any questions we had along the way as well. Overall, we had a great stay and highly endorse Geoff and RealNZ for anyone planning a bespoke trip to NZ."

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."

Australia & the Pacific Tour Selection Trips

  • Australia and the Pacific is a huge region; each major island grouping deserves its own trip.
  • Though often combined, Australia and New Zealand  can each easily fill a tour of two weeks or more, so consider doing them separately.
  • Try to allow at least two or three weeks for a tour of the region if you are coming from the Americas or Europe, due to the long flights involved.
  • If you love scuba diving, try the islands of Yap and Palau in Micronesia, both for coral reefs and World War II undersea airplane wrecks.
  • Check with your tour operator to see if snorkeling equipment is included; pack your own if you’re difficult to fit.
  • Allow plenty of time to get your Australia visa  and check with your tour operator on visa requirements for other countries on your itinerary.
  • Keep in mind that it’s winter “Down Under” when it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and yes, it does snow on New Zealand’s South Island and southern Australia at that time.
