Tour Leader - Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan
Intrepid Travel was born in 1989 with the simple mission to create positive change through the joy of travel.
More than 35 years later, we`re proud to be the world`s largest travel B Corp with more than 1000 small group trips in over 100 countries. After all these years, we`ve stayed true to our mission, ensuring our adventures are good for the places we go, good for the communities we visit and good for our travellers. That`s why we carbon offset all our trips and support local communities but we`re not stopping there. We want to be the best travel company not just in the world, but for the world.
