A Travel Experience That Is Customized To Your Individual Needs

Our semi-independent tours in Italy are great for travelers who want an independent travel experience with a dose of guided touring in their preferred locations. With these packages, you have flexible departure dates and can travel with your friends, family or companions. There is a set itinerary that is included in all travel packages, consisting of accommodation, transportation in trains and boats as well as arrival and departure transfers.

The specific city tours and guided activities are a part of the guided Italy experience. Still, they can be altered to your specifications and offer you great flexibility in terms of organizing your Italy tour yourself. It is up to you to decide when you want a guided tour and when you want to be independent in your travels. However, you must schedule the tours beforehand so that you don’t miss out on the best experiences, sights and landmarks you really want to see. Also, there may be some out-of-pocket expenses, which is why you should be careful when planning your trip and keep within your budget.

The idea of a private tour in Italy that is affordable and economical can be best explained as a semi-independent tour. Giving you the flexibility of a custom made trip, it is up to you to choose the dates, routes, duration of the trip and sightseeing points.

Basically, you should know that our semi-independent Italy tours are arranged in advance so that you can sit back, relax and enjoy every moment of your holiday. The only job you have is to let us know what are you interested in seeing or doing, and we will take care of the rest.

For more information on our semi-independent tour packages, you can contact us via the form below and schedule an appointment – or directly book your semi-independent Italy travel packages!

The Southern Italy and Sicily tour was fabulous! The places we visited were varied and filled with culture, history, and wonderful sights. It was highly diverse. Our travel guide Raffaelle, was so fabulous. He made our trip. Perillo tours are highly organized, excellently guided and competitively priced. Definitely will use Perillo again. I first heard of Perillo as a child living in the Bronx, NY. All the people from the Arthur Avenue secition used them, and as you can see we still are!

Our trip to Italy (Versuvius Tour) was an outstanding experience thanks to Daniela Senise and the Perillo Team. Daniela was an awesome tour director managing our itinerary while keeping an eye on all the details to ensure we had a great experience. I know there are others behind the scenes working on the details too and want to express my appreciation for them as well.

How you travel

This holiday features transport that is an integral part of the overall experience

This semi-escorted tour takes you on a spellbinding journey through the magical Norwegian fjords visiting some of the most scenic and well-known places including Bergen, Sognefjord and Flam. Spectacular mountains, waterfalls and fjords provide the backdrop for rail journeys, cruises and cultural tours. Let your guide take you from one enchanting location to the next, finishing in Oslo, Norway’s vibrant capital.

The group tour includes two nights in Bergen, two in Balestrand and two in Oslo, staying in standard or superior hotels on a breakfast basis. Two dinners are also included in Balestrand.

The magical journey

Travelling independently between the different locations is as much a highlight as each destination itself with natural beauty at every turn. Start with a sightseeing tour of Bergen, the gateway to the fjords and a UNESCO World Heritage City. Continue by boat along the Sognefjord, the longest and deepest in Norway making your way to the village Balestrand where you have time to relax amidst stunning scenery.

The final leg of the tour is by trains and features the famous Flamsbana railway. The 20-kilometre winding track is considered to be one of the most scenic rail journeys in the world, taking you through picturesque landscapes to the mountain village of Myrdal. Change trains and continue onward to Oslo with plenty of time to explore the Norwegian capital city.

Group size: typically between 35 and 45 participants.

On arrival in Bergen, make your way to your hotel (payable locally) for a two-night stay. There are regular busses running from the airport to the centre of the city. The rest of the day is at leisure. Bergen is a UNESCO World Heritage city and a European city of Culture with many attractions in the city itself and in the region.

After breakfast, meet your local guide at the reception of your hotel at 10:00 and enjoy a walking tour of the city of Bergen. Pass through the most emblematic places such as the Hanseatic Bryggen, with the church of Mary, the Hakon fortress and the famous fish market. You can visit the Floibanen Funicular, which will take you on the top of the Mountain Floyen, for overall view of the city.

An early breakfast before meeting in the hotel lobby area with luggage for the short walk to the port where the journey continues by boat to Balestrand. Boat departs at 08:00 with arrival in Balestrand at 11:55 (schedule subject to change). Cruise along Sognefjord – the King of the fjords and the longest and deepest in Norway. The cruise continues to the village Balestrand where on arrival you walk to your hotel for two nights. The rest of the afternoon is at leisure.

The day is free for you to relax and enjoy the fjord surroundings. There are several hikes in the area you can take from the village or it is also possible to join an optional full day excursion to Fjaerland (this excursion must be booked in advance either at the time of booking your holiday or with the tour guide on day 1). On this trip take a scenic journey to the small village of Fjaerland passing tiny villages and waterfalls to where the fjord meets the glacier.

Your journey on the Sognefjord continues today. The initial part of the fjord, called Aurlandsfjord, is a 17-kilometre arm of the world’s second longest fjord, the Sognefjord (204 km). It is considered to be one of the most picturesque fjords in the world. Arrive in Flåm, where you will have a short time to discover the small village and take a drinks break in one of the cafes before boarding the famous Flamsbana to Myrdal – a mountain railway station and junction located about 13km from the village Flam. Flåmsbana, one of the steepest and most scenic railway journeys in the world. The line runs through fantastic nature and scenery with steep mountains, waterfalls and through 20 tunnels as it winds its way to Myrdal where you will change trains for the last part of your journey to Oslo. On arrival check-in to your hotel for a two-night stay.

After breakfast meet the local guide in the hotel reception for the start of the 3 hour sightseeing tour of Norway’s vibrant capital city (the exact meeting time will be confirmed in the information provided and in the reception area). The tour includes a visit to Frogner Park with Vigeland sculptures; the Royal Palace; City Hall and Akershus Fortress, a medieval castle showing the history of Oslo. The rest of the day is at leisure for you to continue visiting the sights or relax in one of the delightful cafes taking in the city atmosphere.

Time to explore the city further before making your own way to the airport for your flight home.

Recent tour reviews

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip as a senior.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises). However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Learn more about Intrepid's COVID-19 policy

Who are Intrepid travelers?

Intrepid adventures are for travelers with a yearning to get off the beaten track. Whether you're traveling solo, with a group of friends, or are aged 18 or 70, there is an Intrepid adventure to suit your interests and comfort level. Each Intrepid adventure has a physical and cultural grading to help you decide if the trip is right for you. No special skills are required for most adventures, just a sense of adventure and a curiosity about the world. Even on our camping adventures no previous experience is required; our tents are easy to set up, even for first-time campers. 

Are there age restrictions on your trips?

For the majority of our trips the minimum age is 15. An adult must accompany all children under the age of 18. Our Overland Adventures have a minimum age of 18. Younger children can join us on our Family trips and Short Break Adventures, but check each trip for its minimum age, which is located on the trip’s overview page on the website. Most of our trips don’t have a maximum age limit, but a Self-Assessment Form is required for all passengers 70 years and over. 

How many people will be on my trip?

Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without intimidating the locals. On most of our trips you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travelers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website. 

I’m traveling alone – is that OK?

This is the beauty of the Intrepid style of travel: many of our travelers join because they are traveling solo and want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people.

Learn more about solo travel

I have a disability – can I join an Intrepid trip?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. We ask that you carefully consider whether you are physically and mentally able to complete the itinerary you have chosen, recognizing that on many trips you will be required to carry your own bags and use public transport. 

Where we can we will make reasonable adjustments to the operation of our trips to facilitate the requirements of disabled travelers – such as booking ground floor accommodation, or having our leaders communicate important directions in writing as well as verbally. Many travelers with disabilities have been able to enjoy our trips by traveling with a friend or companion who can assist with specific needs. If joining a group trip is not practical we may be able to provide you with a private departure. Please contact our sales team for further information on any of our itineraries. 

Learn more about accessible travel with Intrepid

Do I need to buy travel insurance?

Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips if you’re traveling internationally. Minimum coverage may differ from trip to trip, so make sure you check the Travel Insurance section in your Essential Trip Information. You will not be permitted to join the group until your leader has sighted your insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number – it’s really important there are no barriers to getting emergency assistance for you. 

Will I have my own room?

It's your call. Rooming on our trips is organized on a twin-share basis, but most of our trips also have the option to pay an extra fee for your own room. Just let us know at the time of booking and we'll arrange it for you. 

For twin-share rooms, we pair up solo travelers with another traveler of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports. As a responsible tour operator, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. In the case that your gender identity differs from what's indicated on your passport, please contact us so that we can discuss rooming options with you. 

On a small selection of itineraries some accommodations are booked on an open-gender, multi-share basis. In those instances it will clearly be stated in your Essential Trip Information. 

How does group time work?

Whether you’re traveling alone or with a partner, our trips have a set itinerary. But within that there’s time set aside for your own exploration (if you want to – no pressure). Depending on how you're feeling, you may want to have some downtime, ask your guide for a few tips then head out alone, or hang out with the group and see where the day takes you. 

What makes a small group tour better than a coach tour?

The main difference between a small group tour and a coach tour is the size of the group; our tours have 10 travelers each (on average) while coaches can hold up to 60 people. This means that you'll never have to vie for your leader's attention on a small group tour because you'll automatically have it.

Our tour guide, Margarita, was sent good and patient, as was Paul, who was on the cruise. Most of the other guides were outstanding, as well. I definitely recommend eating at the hotel in Rome, the food there was better than any of the restaurants in town. Some of the hotels needed some upgrades, but were clean. The experience was amazing and very well planned. I highly recommend this trip!!

What people love about greece and italy tours.

Trip overall was a good experience the tour director and our coach driver's were awesome!!! The hotel in Venice was awful outlet and lights didn't work their staff was rude and unaccomodating we couldn't use the pool on a hot day cause it was always closed thank God we only spent 1 day there with its filthy walls inside our room. We paid for one optional guide in Venice that was a joke the guide walked us to a abandoned church gave us some history on it and that was it went to St. Marks where none of us got to see the tomb and the tour was over didn't get close to our money's worth the entire group felt this way.
I want to say thank you to the team, for all their hard work that was put into making this trip a success, but a special shout out to Wendy, for all your help throughout our vacation. No matter what time of day or night we send her text or call her, for any reason or need her help, she always responds quickly. Wendy is definitely a keeper!!. Apart from the little hiccups in Venice, we are looking forward to traveling with wonderful holidays in the future, and since we came back, we have also recommended wonderful holidays to some of our family and friends. Overall it was a great trip and would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Japan tour specialist with small groups, great guides and cultural immersion

Escorted tours.

Our small group Japan tour escorted groups (maximum of 8 to 12 tour members depending on the itinerary) allow us to stay in smaller ryokans and hotels, use public transportation and eat in smaller, intimate restaurants.

For those of you who wish to travel independently, these packages offer the perfect way to explore Japan. A little structure with a lot of flexibility may be the perfect combination for you!

Cherry Blossom Tours

Late March/early April in Japan means beautiful weather and cherry blossoms are on their way. We have many itineraries that take full advantage of this beautiful season.

Our specialty tours are small escorted group tours that include the same travel style as our popular escorted tour packages. But they have a unique focus and a one of a kind itinerary with one of a kind experiences.

Private Group Tours

Our Group Travel Services can provide you and your group with whatever you will need while visiting Japan.

Our small group tours are  well-balanced, educational, culturally-broadening, and most importantly, fun tours that inspire and inform.  By breaking down as many barriers as possible to the lifestyle, customs and traditions of Japan and the Japanese, our tour members travel as “ Temporary Japanese” allowing the maximum possible cultural exposure and experience.

I have dietary restrictions. Can I still have meals on your tours?

What is the tipping policy in Norway ?

Tipping in Norway is not compulsory. However, you can leave a 10-20% tip in restaurants and bars if you are happy about the service. It's uncommon to tip taxi-drivers or cleaning staff at hotels.

What is the best time to go to Norway?

The high season in Norway is between mid-June and August. However, the best time to visit Norway is during the shoulder seasons, between May and June, and between September and October, when the weather is very pleasant and there aren't that many tourists.

Are visas required?

Norway is a party to the Schengen Agreement. This means that U.S. citizens may enter Norway for up to 90 days for tourist or business purposes without a visa. It is required that your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond the period of stay
