What travelers are saying

"The tour guide Paolo was very informative and was a pleasure to get to know. Our tour bus driver Luca was so patient and helped us so much. The only thing that could have made this better is the room and hotel accommodations. They were so hot and the beds were stiff as boards. They had us open the windows but the mosquitos got to me. The tour was great and fun"

Kanazawa, Kyoto, Osaka, Takayama, Tokyo

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."
