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."

  • Historic ruins are marked as they are for a reason. Venturing under ropes that create the pathways is not only disrespectful, it can be very dangerous. Make sure to stay with your guide (who may have special access, in which case, you may enter closed off zones, but not otherwise)
