Recently, I completed my first ever group travel trip. I chose Intrepid based on what a family member thought may suit me, and could not have been happier. Our guide, Travis, was exceptional with his knowledge, responsibility, interpersonal skills, and energy. This trip was just what I needed, and can't wait to do another one!

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. I got a taste of some cities that were new to me, learned about them from knowledgeable guides, had enough time on my own and we were well taken care of during the entire trip. I enjoyed meeting new my fellow travelers and the small grp format was perfect for my preferences.

I didn't expect that the only day we were in Atlanta was to spend in a civil war museum and MLK memorial museum.

If you like music, food, architecture and history then this tour is for you. The itinerary has the right balance between travel and non travel days; as well as good balance between group and individual activities. Happy to recommend.
