    This trip exceeded all expectations. Although we came from different corners, our group jelled under Jay’s guidance. With insightful commentary, local connections and gentle humor—he helped everyone explore his beautiful country on their own terms. From initial intro to final farewell, Intrepid gets five stars in my book.
