Intrepid Travel Peru & Bolivia

Intrepid Travel offers tours on all continents and has more than 100,000 people travelling with them globally each year. They are an Australian based company meaning, like most large international tour operators the majority of their profits from Peruvian tours do not make it to Peru. Below is a list of the pros and cons of Intrepid Travel as a way of travelling around Peru and Bolivia:

Pros:

Everything booked in advance: You book your entire trip in advance so you don’t need to do any prior research or make any arrangements yourself.
Small groups: You have a tour guide for your entire trip group size of 4-20 people maximum.
Safety: Peru and Bolivia are not always the safest to travel through. Intrepid Travel helps you to get around safely and securely. Family adventures: Intrepid Travel offers family packages (children pay similar or same price as adults).

Cons:

Price: Intrepid Travel is one of the more expensive tour companies that operate in Peru and Bolivia. If you were to organize the same trip on your own you could do it for less than half the price they offer. With FindLocalTrips.com you can book activities for your trip yourself in advance, and you pay the local price.
Lack of flexibility: With your entire trip planned for you, there isn’t any room for changes. Do you want to stay longer in Arequipa? Or maybe you don’t like the people in your group? The group tour doesn’t offer any form of flexibility to your schedule.

When there aren’t any problems, Intrepid usually organizes very well-made trips. When something goes wrong we believe its important to have the head-quarters in the company you are traveling in. Intrepid Travel is internationally renowned for its adventure travels that take travellers off the beaten track. They offer less variation however than similar companies and charge the same or higher prices. Even though their travel packages offer a great deal in Peru and Bolivia, there are definitely more options that are more flexible and cheaper.
