  "Sadly Traveling with Intrepid was just plain disappointing. We were booked a double room on our Croatia Sailing Trip in 2018 for 2020 as the last part of our Honeymoon and was unfortunately like so many due to Covid, couldn't travel. The trip was pushed back to 2023 and we were excited to finally go. Booked 5 years in advance and the first book on our boat. Keep this in mind as we go . . . When we arrived, we found our boat was unavailable due to engine problems, understandable and a newer boat had been arranged, Great :-) We were driven to another wharf and led to our boat by our skipper. The room on board that we were given was not a double. . . Not even close but the other two couples on board were given large double rooms - how is this fair?? We paid the same and booked first!! (one of these couples only booked a few weeks before we departed). Why would you sell a single space as a double????? I was told "this is just how boats are". So we slept very little and woke up sore and stiff every day. Our skipper then proceed to advise us he had never had more than 5 guests plus himself on a vessel such small size - WE HAD 8 GUESTS PLUS HIM! My husband and i were expected to share a room the same size that the skipper had to himself, half the size of the actual double. One of the other guests had to sleep on the couch in the galley due to the configuration ( meaning we couldn't use it all trip), another guest was saturated in the night because his window seals leaked. We also got wet in the night as our window also leaked. We were then advised there would be NO SNORKLING GEAR as was promised on the Intrepid website - I was particularly upset by this as it was one of the reasons we even booked a sailing trip in Croatia. I adore snorkeling and was heartbroken. We were told to buy some gear ourselves when we stopped on one of the Island but couldn't find any at the places we stopped. The skipper then left us, we didn't see him until the next day - this happened every night and a couple of times, skippers from other boats had to come helps us secure mast lines etc because he had left us.. NO SAFELY BREIEFINGS ( i still don't know where the life jackets were), given vague directions to the supermarket and told we could no use the showers on the boat, only on land at the wharfs we stopped at overnight - some of which were truly gross. The skipper then proceeded to shower onboard EVERYDAY. He advised us we would be skipping 2 of the islands on the plan as we would need to conclude our trip one day early Including Vis and the Blue cave. When i mentioned this was something important to me to visit, he advised we would visit a better cave, much less busy. We didn't, we just skipped that whole part. We skipped 2 islands, TWO?! Completed our sailing a day early with NO COMPENSATION due to the boat needing to be returned to Split for the next group and have been ignored by Intrepid since, In fact they have lied repeatedly to my Travel agent about being in touch with us when we asked to discuss a partial refund due to the above reasons. We have been waiting almost 2 months and no contact at all from them. Croatia is beautiful and i highly recommend visiting, doing a sailing trip but 150% absolutely DO NOT DO IT WITH INTREPID. Just a S**T company with very little care for customers. "Pack as many as you can in" should be their Catch phrase. You ruined my Honeymoon Intrepid and you should be ashamed.

  "We had an excellent time on the 7 Day Bosnian Experience recently, with Tour Maje. We were picked up on time at the airport on our arrival by Adnan who showed us around Sarajevo Old Town, which was just around the corner from our hotel. For the rest of our tour we were guided by Solfu (Excuse the spelling) who was very knowledgeable and good fun to be with. Everything on the advertised itinery was covered plus more when there was time. There was no rush and the tour was very easy going and gave us plenty of time in the evenings to explore. We also met Elvis for a brief time as he had a large group, so that was a nice touch. Bosnia is a beautiful country especially when you get into the countryside and the mountains, so well worth the visit.

  "Overall the trip was amazing. Our guide Karin was knowledgeable and personable. The itinerary would have been better if there was an extra day in Kotor (all of the group loved this destination) and Budapest. Also taking the ferry in the afternoon from Dubrovinik felt like a waste of a day. The choice of a hotel far away from the old city meant that most people didn't go back into town on the travel day and we arrived in Hvar too late to really make the most of that location. I would like to suggest that this itinerary should have a morning ferry. Also the accommodation in Split was not good, too far away from the city making travel into town difficult or expensive. Furthermore, you couldn't use the hotel pool unless you paid $22 Euro and also when we had to leave for an early flight and they had provided a breakfast box, they didn't want us to fill up our travel coffee mug but rather pay for a coffee at reception. Breakfast box had a plain bread roll with no filling, some pate but no way to put it on the bread unless you used your finger and yoghurt with no spoon. This hotel should not be used and there should be an option within the old city or very close to the centre. Overall it was a good experience but the couple of poor hotel choices was very disappointing. There was a good mix of activities and free time for people to go their own way. Karin was very helpful with suggestions.
