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."

Solo Travel Tour Selection Trips

  • A solo travel adventure can be exhilarating, but it's essential to prioritize your safety along the way. Here are some crucial safety tips to keep in mind:

    Research your destination thoroughly before departure, including local customs, laws, and potential safety concerns.

  • Share your itinerary with a trusted friend or family member and keep them updated on your whereabouts throughout your trip.

  • Stay vigilant in crowded areas and tourist hotspots, where pickpocketing and petty theft are common.

  • Avoid walking alone at night, particularly in unfamiliar or poorly lit areas. Opt for well-populated streets and use reputable transportation options.

  • Trust your instincts and be wary of overly friendly strangers or situations that feel unsafe.

  • Keep important documents such as passports, identification, and travel insurance information secure at all times.

  • Carry a fully charged mobile phone with emergency contacts programmed, and consider downloading safety apps for added peace of mind.

  • Familiarize yourself with local emergency numbers and know how to access medical assistance.

  • Stay connected with fellow travelers or join group tours for safety and companionship.
