Get REAL with Intrepid Europe in 2006

Intrepid Travel are delighted to announce the launch of the Intrepid Europe 2006 brochure - featuring over 50 trips, 500 departures and 20 destinations - while 45 amazing leaders and hundreds of local friends are waiting to meet all intrepid travellers! The company's 2006 program features adventures covering the latest hotspots in Eastern Europe and the Baltic States, along with timeless trips across France, Italy, Spain and more!

At Intrepid, we pride ourselves on offering our travellers a way to truly experience Europe - by travelling as the locals do, introducing them to our friends (and sometimes staying in their homes!) and by providing plenty of free time to explore for themselves. Getting on and off the tourist trail, we ensure a unique real life experience at every turn and because our groups are small, Intrepid travellers get up close and personal to discover a side of Europe that many miss.

For those who get in quick, Intrepid are offering Europe Earlybird specials of up to $400 OFF! Visit www.intrepidtravel.com/europeearlybird for more details.
