Booking a planned trip with a guide can be intimidating. The market is competitive with companies offering out-of-this-world itineraries, family-friendly options, female-only, cycling, hiking, and trekking trips — the list goes on. Through the years, Matador has partnered with various providers, and Intrepid Travel keeps impressing. This is in part because the company only works with expert guides who know the place and its culture intimately, sharing insights that you won’t find in any guidebook, and because the range of tours — over 1000 adventures in over 100 countries — that offer the opportunity to visit places we might have written off as being too complicated or unnerving to vacation to without guidance.
