What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

What travelers are saying

"I didn’t take this tour exactly, but made some changes based on my schedule and interests and travel dates. It was my first time in Southeast Asia and I was a traveling solo female. Liz my trip consultant and contact person was so helpful and responsive to any and all my concerns and questions. It was a trip of a lifetime. I can not gush enough about the itinerary and experiences. I am completely impressed with is company and this person. Ya ya in Chang Mai and Sam in Bangkok are top notch guides. The diving in Phuket was arranged with Siam diving, a small private boat not an over stuffed crowded one. It felt like we were the only people in the ocean. Goo, GO, GO!!!!"

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."

Cusco Tour Selection Trips

  • Cusco is used most commonly to refer to the city of Cusco, but it is also the name of an entire region in Peru, which encompasses the Sacred Valley, and of course Machu Picchu
  • It is from Cusco that almost all tours to Machu Picchu depart. Whether by train or taking a shuttle to the start of your trek.
  • It is highly advised if you are planning on visiting Machu Picchu, to plan a few days in Cusco beforehand, both for acclimating to the altitude and for getting an introduction to the history of the Incan Empire.
  • Spanish is widely spoken in Peru. Though you will notice certain idiosyncrasies that make it differ from European Spanish, this is not enough to make communication impossible.
  • The weather in Cusco is at its coldest during June, July, and August, and the rainy season lasts from November to March. April and September are the sweet spots for perfect weather in Cusco!
