Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

    We had an amazing journey on our bike trip. Despite the heat (34C) each day, we managed well, stopping for breaks. Our tour leaders with Intrepid, Igor and Andro, were knowledgeable, organized and tended to our many needs. We were a small group of 4 participants which provided us with a small family atmosphere allowing us to get to know each other more. Our favourite days were the ones where we rode fewer kms so we had more time to explore in our destinations. Really enjoyed riding through the countryside - beautiful fields of sunflowers, views of the Danube and amazing meals at recommended restaurants. The leaders, accommodations, and experience far exceeded our expectations.

    Hi Shelley, what an amazing recap of your time away! Your trip sounds like it was just what you were hoping for. It is nice to know that your smaller group all got along and that you did take some 'non riding' time to explore when you wanted to- what a... Show more

    Sasa Tour Guide and Andro the driver were great. They took care of the group with their jovial attitude and ensured that individual's needs were met. They provided easy to follow directions and kept the group together. There were occasions when things would have gone wrong but Sasa and Andro ensured that they are there on every step along the way to make it trouble-free and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend intrepid tours and would consider future tours through Intrepid.

    Tour guides/leaders were incredible...very knowledgeable of the area and history and culture and food! The final stay in Budapest at the Star City Hotel was disappointing...staff were stressed, aloof, and not customer service oriented ( in a positive way) Be nice to choose a true 4 star hotel for the last night of the trip

    Well it definitely wasn'tbecause of the weather as it rained every day we were on the road; however our guides, Jerneja and Duje, and the group dynamics made the trip unforgettable. Jerry's and Duje's leadership was spot on. I have never been on an intrepid trip, where our guides ate all their meals with usto create a true bond with the travelers.

    I had a fabulous time, I was paired with a lovely roommate and the staff were awesome, especially finding gluten free food so I was never hungry.

    The trip itself was amazing and the cycling was great thanks to our lovely trip leader and support driver. I would caution others not to expect too much regarding accommodation which was occasionally a bit squashed. Also expect to share a room as my single supplement was cancelled quite last minute and on the tour I was told by co-travellers that intrepid has a reputation for this.

    Great people and an enjoyable trip - apart from bike mixup. I asked for a small step thru bike and got one that was totally unrideable. After discussion with leaders they did a great job in finding me a Bike that I COULDride - but I had to pay for its hire. Costly. But it was that, or give up before I started. Guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable: accommodation patchy... I was disappointed that we had to go so fast through many interesting places- a longer trip at a slower pace would have been culturally more rewarding Your pre trip notes need to be refined and expanded especially re the history and highlights. Also recommend a MINIMUN of 3 x. 3 km rides in preparation for trip and one 5 km ride. It is NOT for the mildly fit!

    The whole experience was excellent; the guides were personable, professional, and genuinely wanted the group to enjoy our time. The ride itself was beautiful and within our abilities. I would absolutely go again.
