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

"Fantastic trip with so many wonderful highlights on the regular itinerary and each of the additional extra opportunities was stellar as well. I enjoyed both evenings of Scottish music and dancing and the small intimate one in the little pub was exceptional with a delightful host and musician — a real highlight and a chance to feel part of a small village. The scenery was spectacular throughout. It was one of my most charming trips. The tour director , Evie Burnett, did a great job and was extremely personable and knowledgeable and had a great way of cheerfully working with every passenger. I will soon be planning my next Insight holiday."

Bali, Jakarta, Ubud, Yogyakarta

Highlights

  • Embark on a cycling trip through the backcountry of Yogyakarta. A world of flower-studded fields and smiling locals, this cultural centre is one of South East Asia’s standout destinations.
  • Take a guided walk through the jungle and rice paddies of Seloliman Nature Reserve, then sit back, relax and soak up the ambience under the stars as a small group.

  • Get behind the scenes of some of Java's fascinating local industries – from coffee, cocoa and palm sugar to traditional Javanese medicine of jamu.
  • Balance out all of the activity and adventure with plenty of time to chill out away from the crowds at beachside paradise of Pemuteran on Bali’s less-visited north coast.
