What travelers are saying

"A great, varied itinerary which gave a fabulous flavour of Croatia. Starting in Split, a beautiful walled town. The hotel was good but a little way out making it difficult to get the most of a short stay. All the islands we visited were beautiful, the itineraries interesting and different each day. The lunch at the local farm was a real highlight. I really enjoyed the bike ride on Mljet, easy route and great as no cars. The stop in Ston was also really super and an unexpected great wall walk. The final hotel in Dubrovnik was stunning, although away from the bustle of the walled town very easy to get in by bus. Dubrovnik was a highlight for me and I am pleased I added 2 extra days to the week to make the most of the town. Vedran our guide was exceptionally good, very knowledgeable and worked really hard to help and support us. Nothing was too much trouble. A super week, highly recommended if you want to see a varied collection of what Croatia has to offer."

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."

Istanbul Tour Selection Trips

  • Istanbul is a huge city-there are so many things to see and do. Look for tours that include at least 3 days here to really get a taste of the city.
  • Mosques that are well known tourist attractions usually have a separate entry for tourists, apart from those who come for prayer. Women should be careful to use the separate women’s entrance if visiting smaller mosques.
  • Before bargaining, ask your guide what you should expect to pay for different souvenirs.
  • Since there is so much to see, travelers who want to get off the beaten path should use their tour free time to do their own exploring through the ancient alleyways.
  • Turkish people are incredibly warm and hospitable. Look for tours that include cultural activities for the opportunity to meet and learn from locals.
  • Going on a guided tour will give you much more insight into the complex history of Istanbul’s top tourist attractions and beyond.
  • Keep in mind that Turkey is a secular Islamic state. You may dress or behave as liberally as you want, but it might draw unwanted attention, even in cosmopolitan Istanbul. To blend in better, you can dress fashionably, but not overtly sexy, and avoid PDA.
  • A bathhouse, or hammam, that caters to tourist will be able to guide you through the process in English, taking out the awkward guess work.
