Lithuania Tour & Trip Reviews

Duy, the tour leader was attentive, informative and the food we were given was fantastic.
So much so, that we will organise another night street food tour in Hoi An when we arrive there.

Avanti Destinations is a HORRIBLE and dishonest company. Paul Barry(who is sole owner) along wtih executive team of COO Mark Grundy, CMO John Hanratty and CFO Susan Marra should be ashamed on how they run a company. As a military family we booked our trip to London to leave March 21, 2020. This was to be our FAMILY trip overseas. While C19 is not the fault of Avanti, it is Barry who is at fault. While other airlines and travel agencies are giving a 100% REFUND not just vouchers Avanti is holding our money hostage. Trying to work with anyone associated with this company does not response. How can USTOA stand behind this company? How do we get a FULL REFUND from Avanti? My travel agent sent us information and our of almost $7000.00 we would get back $1700.00. Seriously? We are PCSing to another country in Asia and want to travel. What is Avanti decides to file bankruptcy because Barry does not know how to manage clients money. SOMEONE HELP US!!!

I would love to write a review about our meticulously planned out trip, but as our $12000 week long trip to London and Dublin was cancelled due to a global pandemic, I cannot. This company has made it not just hard but nearly impossible to help out their customers who are in awful situations during this time. They are completely unwilling to budge on their bottom line even a little.

We had to cancel due to boarder/country closings and this company is trying to keep 100% of our money. We were booked to fly with British Airlines, and BA refunded $700 per person and that is all that this company has given us.

If by some miracle we get a representative on the phone they are condescending and degrading. I even spoke with the VP of the company and he was the worst. He made me feel small and unimportant. This whole company is taking advantage of the situation and unless people get lawyers involved they are completely unwilling to refund any money.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! If something goes wrong on your trip, which let face it, multi country trips often have at least one thing go wrong, this company will NOT HELP! Do yourself a favor and go with someone else who has much better customer service and company values.

a totally wonderful tour with Tereza who was passionate about Prague s history and her knowledge in general was expansive and was relayed to us with character which made the whole day so enjoyable highly recommended. Prague itself is stunning but to have the added bonus of a place to eat where the locals go and knowledge about this incredible city was very much a bonus.
My wife & I came away thoroughly invigorated after our tour .. really good !

Great places to see, fantastic guide & overall terrific experiance

This style of travelling is not for everyone so there are some people I know who travel - but only want the VERY best of everything - especially when it comes to hotels. I don't think they would enjoy Intrepid travel so I don't think I would suggest it to them.

This trip was just what I expected of an Intrepid Original trip.

Why not, you earned it

As always for me, the trip was well organized, fascinating, comfortable, interesting, and well led by Group Leader Nir

Well organised, activity based, good balance of organised and free time and a variety of travel modes.

I enjoyed the trip very much but I find the trips with the most culture shock are the most amazing, Baltics were similar to Scandinavia or Europe so not as much culture shock but very interesting places and history.

The whole experience was wonderful and my first trip to Europe. Intrepid tour was led by an exceptional tour leader (Nir Nussbaum) who made us all at ease and had a wonderful feel for all the places we visited. He took time to get to know what we all were interested in seeing and made every effort to accommodate our wishes, Nir was/is a huge asset to Intrepid. I have already recommended intrepid to at least 10 people and given them the web links to access tours in future. I loved how you were given freedom to explore the places yourself as well as orientation and historic tours with additional highlights from the excellent people including Nir used in this process. I loved using public transport it made you feel comfortable with exploring places yourself or gathering a couple of others to try and see new things. Loved the whole experience and didn't feel like a sheep with the group, felt like a family holiday.

Liked the mix of major cities and rural areas. Loved the biking,hiking and kyaching. Had a good group of people who mixed well and the different age groups. Liked the independence we were given to do our own thing and loved the tour leader, Sanni. She was so happy and bright, maybe she should be called Sunni!

It was a great trip. A great group that got along very well, led by our fantastic leader who kept everything flowing smoothly and interesting countries that were new to me.

The trip was fascinating and we had a great leader.
