The attention given to the trip itinerary reflects a great knowledge on the part of Intrepid. The selection of the tour leader and tour guides supports its concern about the travelers' growth of knowledge, safety, entertainment, and well-being: physical, emotional, and mental.

I just returned from an Intrepid trip to Chile and Argentina and I am ready to go on another Intrepid adventure. The trip leader, Sebastian, was excellent. The local guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The group size of 12 was perfect. Intrepid provides enough information before you go on the trip, but we also had some delightful surprises. The hotels are well selected in great locations. The meals were all excellent, and all details appeared to have been thought of in advance. I highly recommend choosing Intrepid for your group travel.

This trip is a fine combination of food and wine of the region as well as getting a deeper level of knowledge and understanding of each of the trip destinations.

Being my first international trip, this was a very seamless experience and an enjoyable one. I would definitely book more experiences through Intrepid!!
12/31/2023
Great trip except hotel in Santiago was under renovation. I would NOT do this trip if this hotel is on the itinerary. It is not fabulous as described in the itinerary.

This trip was phenomenal. A huge part of this was down to our tour leader, Valentina, who went above and beyond in her role. We were so lucky to have her show us these incredible countries with her knowledge, sense of fun and enthusiasm. It was my first time visiting South America, and I know it won’t be my last. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

This was our first time traveling to Chile and Argentina and we were not disappointed! The locations visited, local guides, excursions, and free time all worked together to create a truly memorable experience. Our tour leader Valentina took care of everything and could not have made a better experience for us. The food and wine were amazing and we could not have hoped for more. This trip absolutely exceeded our expectations!

I cannot recommend this trip enough. Worth every dollar! The staff are amazing and focused on supporting local communities, truly an unforgettable experience. My favourite trip I’ve ever been on

Our introduction to South America with amazing leader Valentina was a great experience. Beautiful scenery, delicious food and wine, and fun and friendly fellow travelers!

Travelling with Intrepid for my first time in Chile and Argentina was a great choice, especially since I don't speak the language or know much about either of these countries. Intrepid and our local leader/guide, Valentina took care of all the little and big details like best places to stay, what to do/see/eat and the transport so all I have to do is show up. The meals that were included were great as well and gave us a chance to eat like the locals. But what I also like about Intrepid is that not all meals are included. We have to the freedom to eat wherever we wanted and with whomever (but we ended up going out with our group most of the time, lol!) We had a smaller group so this really gave us a chance to get to know everyone and bond. I came away from this trip with a better understanding of Chile and Argentina and some new friends. A total win-win all around.

I loved the variety offered from wine tasting in Mendoza to Polo Playing in Buenos Aires. The colourful Valparaiso to the mighty Iguazú Falls that we walked around, sailed under and flew over - just spectacular. So many first time experiences all wrapped up in a holiday of a lifetime.

My husband & I enjoyed this tour immensely! Our tour guide, Ernesto was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic & organised at all times. The experiences we had & the sights we saw were incredible & we were so well cared for & comfortable throughout the entire tour. We would recommend this tour, without hesitation.

This was a great tour including a visit to Valparaiso in Chile and Mendoza and Buenos Aires in Argentina. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our tour leader Andres was a wonderful representative for Intrepid. Confident, calm and friendly. He built the environmental ethos of the company naturally into our experiences. Organisation of the trip and highlights experienced were incredible. Highly recommend Intrepid to any traveller.
10/07/2023
From charming Valparaiso to gorgeous Mendoza and amazing Buenos Aires, it’s without a doubt a trip of a lifetime. Also, it’s Premium - an upgrade worth making.

This was an excellent trip with great accommodation and lots of inclusions. The tour leader and local guides were fantastic. Every destination was great but Rio was the highlight.
07/22/2023
Our trip was wonderful! I would definitely book with Intrepid again. Everything was so well coordinated and our guide Tomas was great. Our group was small and it was like traveling with friends.
06/27/2023
This was or first trip to South America and our fist experience of group travel , though we have done much solo travel so we were a little apprehensive but Andreas made it a wonderful trip and we are very keen to use intrepid again in Africa and to come back and see more of South America . We loved the social aspect of small group travel

Intrepid Travel has it's act together! Easy navigation on its website, covers every detail in planning and the level of professionalism is impressive. The tour guides were amazing and the addition of local guides was spot on. This is the way to go.
01/18/2023
This trip was a huge disappointment in my eyes to the “premium” tag being attracted to it! The tour guides were the only thing that made it a worthwhile experience and feel that the whole trip needs to be reorganised or renamed as it didn’t hit the brief!
