History Tour & Trip Reviews

I took Intrepid's Vietnam Express trip in June of 2013 and it was one of my best travel experiences ever. Besides the amazing food we enjoyed every step of the way, there are so many highlights I can't list them all! We started off with a long tail boat trip out on the Mekong delta where we had a home cooked lunch prepared for us by a local family. We then traveled north to the world heritage city of Hoi An where we had an amazing cooking class. The highlight came at the end of the trip when we spent the night on a private junk boat in beautiful Halong bay. I can't say enough about our amazing leader as he really made the experience memorable. I was so impressed with my Intrepid experience in Vietnam and can't wait to go back!

I have always been one to mix independent travel with group travel. I usually choose Intrepid if I am traveling to a country that’s a bit chaotic (think India) or somewhere independent travel may be a bit difficult. I recently did the South Morocco Discovery and was blown away by how much we saw. One day we were deep in the Sahara (just 14km away from the Algerian border) and then a couple of days later on the coast in Essaouria. There is no way I would have been able to organise transport and local guides to see so much myself. Our leader Isaam was amazing and has so much knowledge & passion for his country. I will definitely be back to Morocco to explore the north.

Our trip to Morocco was a trip of a lifetime. I am so proud to be able to say that I camped in the Sahara Desert under the most brilliant cluster of stars during a cool November night. I can say that I slept in a guest house and hiked in the High Atlas Mountains. That I got to sleep in a riyad, watch women make argan oil and witness goats climbing trees! Joining my group on the South Morocco Discovery was eye opening. Our tour guide, Issam, was awesome - so knowledgeable on the current political and cultural climate as well as the history of the peoples of Morocco. He made sure we were well taken care of (a few of us got carsick during overland journeys) and made sure we had a lot of fun, too!

3 days Athens. 7 days cruising among the Greek Islands on a yacht. 15 staterooms. Pure heaven. Don't know if this tour is still available from Perillo, haven't seen any info since my trip, we were first timers.
