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."

Visits

La Fortuna, Manuel Antonio National Park, Monteverde

Highlights

  • Try to spot the elusive resplendent quetzal when you’re exploring Monteverde’s steamy cloud forests. Better yet, why not consider a jungle zip-line to get high in the sky for the best views?
  • Spend time wandering through the Mercado Municipal de Artesanias artisan stalls in San Jose – Costa Rica’s cultural heart. With plenty of time to stop for a refresco (smoothie), this is a good opportunity to people-watch.
  • Lend a hand at a farmstay outside of Santa Rosa de Pocosol and learn some home-cooked recipes and techniques from the locals on a visit to the Juanilama agricultural community.
  • Marvel at the size and stature of the Arenal Volcano on the horizon, maybe taking a soak and relaxing in La Fortuna’s lava-heated thermal springs.
  • With plenty of time to chill out at your own pace, Quepos’ surf vibe is ideal for catching some waves, lazing on the white-sand beaches or hiking the lush trails of Manuel Antonio with your travel pals.

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!"

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.

  • Be mindful of your alcohol consumption and avoid excessive drinking, especially when traveling alone.

  •  

    By staying informed, prepared, and aware of your surroundings, you can enjoy a safe and rewarding solo travel experience.
