“Marvellous Central Asia Explorer”
Julie & Christopher - New Zealand Oct 2019
The trip was marvellous. Everything worked extremely well – no problems with flights, visas, or anything else. We felt very safe the whole time. Both countries were amazing in their own right & we were impressed with Intrepid. Our photos are incredible. The 4 "Ms" Mosques, Minarets, Madrasah & Mausoleums - all beautiful. Our guides in each country (Nastacia in Kyrgyzstan and Ravshan in Uzbekistan) were completely different but both very good – we have only praise for both of them. They were helpful,

“Interesting Central Europe tour”
Glenn - VIC, Australia Sep 2019
Overall a very satisfying and interesting journey. Our tour director and driver (Ruzica and Salvatore) were terrific over the 15 days. The one thing that was a downer was that we were discouraged from using the toilet on the coach. With the age of the tour participants, this is not a great outcome and led to discomfort. Such a 'toilet use' policy needs to be reconsidered.
“13 days Austria & Switzerland”
Edmund & Kim - VIC, Australia Sep 2019

Kim left behind her diamond engagement ring at Grauer Baer Hotel in Innsbruck and with the assistance of our Tour Director (Andy Major), the hotel couriered it to us at Lucern before the tour ended. A big thank you to all the

“Incredible journey through the Country Roads of Germany, Austria & Switzerland”
Heather - NSW, Australia Sep 2019
I had a wonderful, very well organised trip. Our tour director was a local Austrian full of interesting history, tip bits, and humour. Our coach driver was excellent, punctual and helpful. It was the best way to travel not having to worry about getting from A to B, our bags magically arrived up in our rooms while we were out sightseeing. I liked the balance on this trip between free time and organised outings. They covered all the major attractions I wanted to see and, unlike other tours, you
