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.

Greece Real Food Adventure

Charlotte · Traveled June 2024
I highly recommend this trip! Our guide Georgia was absolutely fantastic and Intrepid provided a well-rounded experience of food, history, scenery, and visits to local producers. We were truly immersed in the flavours of Greece. In addition to that, the itinerary gave us the opportunity to swim in the beautiful clear blue water and enjoy other activities such as kayaking, which was one of my personal highlights. Not to mention the excellent accommodation and the amazing cooking class - an unforgettable experience all around.
