I have been on two Intrepid Travel trips, one to Turkey and the other to India (Delhi, Agra, Rajasthan). Both were two-to-two-and-one-half weeks in length. Each was well-planned. We visited the highlights as well as lesser known places, and stayed in rural areas, with a family, and/or in historic buildings. The trip leaders were excellent--knowledgable, personable, and helpful--and the trips were well-organized. I appreciate the small size of the groups. Touristy and commercial activities were kept to a minimum in the India trip. Accommodations ranged from basic to upscale and were always clean. Time for individual exploring was scheduled in. I couldn't have planned or executed these trips for their cost by myself. Though I've done plenty of traveling by myself, I recommend Intrepid's small group tours.
