Why choose us

Real, authentic experiences

We love the highlights, but for us, the real magic is found off the tourist trails. Our trips combine iconic sites with hidden gems that you’ll only discover with Intrepid. We’re talking mornings exploring the Taj Mahal, followed by a Mughlai cooking class with a passionate home cook.

Local expertise

Whether you’re perusing markets, hunting down the best street food bites or learning how to cook centuries-old family recipes at a homestay, there’s no better way to get the inside scoop on a destination – and its culinary traditions – than with an expert local leader by your side.

Small groups

Big coaches and flag-toting tour guides don’t cut it for us. With a maximum group size of 12, our groups blend in with the locals and have plenty of opportunities to interact with chefs, street food vendors and group leaders. It also means you can really connect with your fellow foodies.

My daughter and I just participated in the food tour of Italy. To say is was over the top, would be an underestimation. From the moment we arrived, the friendships took root. Our guide, Sebastian really was the one who made this trip extra special for us. His enthusiasm for the food and culture of Italy were second to none-thank you Sebastian for sharing your passion with us! Until next time!

Italian cooking tour was outstanding. Tastings of wine, olive oil, gelato, ragu and pasta making among other activities made me want more. Trip well organized. Absolutely 5 stars from start to finish.

The Italy Real Food Adventure was one of the best weeks of my life. I had an incredible Leader and the best group of 12 to do the trip with from Australia, The U.S & Canada. It was the best to be surrounded by others who share the same passion for Italian food I do. Lastly the places we went to were just beautiful and the food was the most incredible food I’ve ever had in my life. I highly recommend this trip.
