    Great tour if you want to see and do a lot in a short amount of time! It was so nice to be able to sit back and be told where to go when, and end up in some incredible destinations! Make sure to check the optional extras before booking - I did a lot of research as there were too many good ones to choose from. Would definitely travel with Intrepid again!

    Found it to be a good mixture of cultural experiences and activities. Particularly liked the smaller group sizes. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone though as I can see some not liking the long days of travel, not that it bothered me any.

    Super South was an amazing adventure! Loved every single second of it. I went alone as a first-time solo traveler and I think it was the best possible way to ease into travelling alone. Our group was small, about 4 people plus our guide, but I felt we made a really good connection and got along really well. The activities that were included were incredibly fun and unforgettable, and our tour guide Pui gave us great suggestions for what we could do in our free time. Had a blast and would 100% do it again. Miss it already!
