We are so grateful that Intriq gave us 12 colorful days in Israel. Kok Yong, the guide, made sure every experience was immersively native but at the same time, filled each moment with comfort, luxury and surprise.Every sighting, visit, activity was planned and timed carefully with so much visible prior coordination with locals in each city/ site/ destination we embarked on. Too much awe and marvel! From the floating adrift on the Dead Sea to the hike up Masada, the exploration sweep of Tel Aviv to endless walks at ancient and Unesco sites, the eye opening experience in Hebron, Gaza West Bank and earnest wail at The Western Wall to the dizzy pampering at Sixth Senses, the childlike Farm Stay with Alpacas to self reflecting Desert Stay with vast spaces...the list of garden variety adventures is too long to mention! And the food! Oh! Restaurant crawl was always a delight, allowing us to sample authentic Arabic, Kosher, French and street winners. But the most unforgettable unique meal was the "Upside Down" home-cooked lunch with a native host inside Palestine. The tradition and meaningful practices we get to engage in with the community most definitely "made our wishes come true"!This is the first time we feel compelled to leave a review of a vacation agency. Because Intriq leaped from being good to being great for us, we plan to book many more trips with them in future!

We had a wonderful time travelling the north western part of China ( Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang) this September. The weather was comfortable even for the different altitudes. We enjoyed our sojourn tremendously! Travelling in this area was easier than we had anticipated as the roads and cars/ buses were excellent and the people were very helpful.Ningxia has an amazing museum and the curator is very knowledgeable and gives a good insight to the long history of China and hence a pre-empt knowledge of the historical sites we are going to visit! (Nothing like seeing the archaeological treasures! ) The little known ( to us) “royal tombs” of the western Xia were another example of the engineering and construction prowess of the people of that time! The Xige winery built in this decade is just as impressive. Although the 2017 red wine is good the price tag is higher than expected!The cities along the Hexi corridor are a must to visit, each city offering her own story!From the gorgeous rainbow mountains to the ancient ruins of the Great Wall of the Han dynasty , from the 3rd/4th. tiered cities broad boulevards and tall modern residential blocks to garish billboards on gigantic shopping malls, it’s really an eye-opening experience not to be missed!The lakes and salt lake up in Qinghai and Xinjiang are equally beautiful! This part of China boasts beautiful mountains and grasslands and huge expanse of desert! Yet amidst these different hostile landscapes, so many different ethnic groups thrive together for thousand of years , innovating to overcome the elements of nature! These days the Qinghai plateau is covered with thousands of wind turbines - astoundingly magnificent; technology harvesting the wind element!Kashgar is still as busy and beautiful as when it was a hub in the Silk Road days!Intriq Journey did a wonderful job providing us with dedicated English speaking guides and excellent hotels during our time there.A small grouse-the public lavatories have more room for improvement and more handicapped toilets are needed;)

We had an opportunity to work with Waye on our trip to Cape Town in South Africa. He was very helpful and detailed in planning our trip for 13 pax. He also helped us to organise our agency dinner at the waterfront VA and we were very impressed with the food. The guide Stanston was friendly and knowledgeable and accommodating to our group’s dynamics. As this was our private tour, it was good without having strangers in our group and we had a lot of flexibility with our timing as we don’t have to rush so it was cater according to our own pace. We went to table mountain via the priority access without having to join long queues , took a cruise to seal island , went to boulder beach to see the cute penguins and ending our tour at cape of good hope! It was also great that lunch and dinner was planned for our big group in advance by Waye, as you can imagine it is not easy to walk in to a restaurant to accommodate 13 of us out of the blue. We had lobster /fish&chips/calamari for lunch and grilled meat at a steakhouse for dinner. Would definitely recommend Waye to our friends and family for their future trips.

Recently visited Chengdu, and had a fantastic day planned by Intriq Journey visiting the pandas, Sanxingdui and before ending the day at the Chengdu Opera House. A sure easy decision to be leaving the planning to the experts, especially when it was my first trip to China! The guide assigned to me and my wife, was detailed, extremely helpful and very mindful of what we would like achieved at the various sights. Thank you Intriq and Adam, would surely recommend anyone looking for a fuss-free holiday to them!

Traveled to Georgia 🇬🇪 and Armenia 🇦🇲 from 26 Feb to 6 Mar and it was a fabulous trip. Thank you so much to Adam who suggested this itinerary to us. We had a great time and learned a lot from our guide Nicholas in Georgia who had a wicked sense of humor. Khachik, our Armenia guide was also very well versed in the history of the places we visited. Definitely will look for Adam again for our next destination!

We can’t stop thinking of our Kenyan safari adventure at the Masai Mara National Park last week, thanks to Adam who helped coordinate everything from airport transfer, domestic flights to surprising us with wine and room upgrade during part of our stay at andbeyond Kichwa Tembo. The views and entire experience were amazing! My special request was also executed, super appreciative of the attention to detail and customisation.Still unsure of our next adventure, but Adam we will definitely be looking for you! 😜 Thank you for making our holiday a memorable one.

My family and I had a most enjoyable and meaningful time in Vietnam (central to south) from 09 to 14 December 2022. Even though we had visited this beautiful country during the rainy season, the weather did not dampen our spirits one bit. Thanks to Jess and Sheena, we were blessed with an unforgettable bespoke holiday itinerary that left us wanting more.Following an exhilarating exploration of the countryside by bike in the morning and our first cooking lesson on Vietnamese cuisine with a local family in rural Hoi An (Tra Que village), our 7-year-old son requested for an ‘encore’ experience! Thankfully, we got a second opportunity to learn how to cook other authentic Vietnamese dishes from another awesome chef in Anantara Quy Nhon Villas later, but not before hand-picking and purchasing only the freshest seafood, poultry and vegetables with the chef from a local market first! The ‘real life’ farming and fishing experience with the locals was truly an eye-opener and highly-recommended for urban travelers/dwellers of all ages.Apart from the exceptional hospitality of the locals, we thoroughly enjoyed the rail journey from Da Nang Railway Station to Quy Nhon ('The Vietage'). The beautiful sights and scenes of rural and urban Vietnam – coupled with the warm welcome that we received onboard – will remain fondly and forever etched in our hearts and minds.Additionally, the 4WD experience in a well-restored Jeep (abandoned by the Americans upon their withdrawal from Vietnam in the 1970s) left us amazed and speechless, not only because we got the rare chance to explore rural Vietnam in an ‘antique’ vehicle used during a landmark event in the history of modern Vietnam but because the driver proved himself to be highly astute and experienced in navigating some very challenging terrains caused by the wet season with ease and competence.All in all, we were most grateful for the team of local guides assigned to us as they were extremely attentive to our needs every step of our journey. They were very knowledgeable and communicated the ancient and modern histories of Vietnam – including but not limited to that relating to the Champa empire and the Vietnam War – eloquently and accurately in response to any questions that we had.With each of our six days being so well-planned, well-spent and most memorable, it comes as no surprise that we are (already) looking forward to our next family trip with Intriq Journey (again) real soon!

This is our first holiday engaging the services of a travel planner and we could not have chosen a better agency. The bespoke itinerary planned for our recent Spain holiday met our interests, requirements, expectations and more. We really enjoyed the unique guided experiences curated and would like to compliment the professionalism of its travel partners in Spain.

We just returned home from a fantastic two-week adventure in South Africa and Victoria Falls. Jess made trip planning easy and tailored our itinerary according to our preferences. She is the ultimate professional we felt confident and relaxed traveling under her guidance. Fortunate for us, the easing of Covid restrictions took effect just weeks before our departure allowing simpler border crossings.

We just got back from our staycation at Raffles Hotel that we booked through Intriq. It’s been such a lovely stay and truly felt like a holiday.

It was great working with Jess from Intriq Journey for my bosses' trip to Germany! Jess is very approachable, patient and pays attention to details. She has been the most accommodative towards all our requests, even last minutes ones and has never once said to me that "it cannot be done". She makes suggestions and provides alternatives to ensure that we make full use of the holiday experience. Even when there were changes during the trip, she is easily contacted through whatsapp and everything went smoothly ahead. I totally would recommend Intriq Journey and Jess as your travel planner, 100% no regrets :)

I booked a one night stay at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore with Winnie of Intriq Journey.Communication was done via WhatsApp which was totally hassle free. Her reply was prompt and professional and all my queries were answered promptly. She also helped to pre-inform the hotel of my requests like an extra bed so that my family will be well taken care of.The package cost just SGD 402.XX. It was a treat for the kids for the September school holidays. I have two kids, one 7yo and one 2yo so it's not easy to find a hotel that can accommodate all 2A2C in one room without extra charges. There was an extra bed (upon request) for my 7yo provided without incurring extra charges.Booking under Intriq, the package consists of a USD100 complimentary F&B voucher which we used for dining at the hotel.There is also free upgrade to the next room category (probably subjected to availability at time of check in, I can't remember). I had my room upgraded to the Boulevard room which had the view of Orchard Road (WOW!).There's also a complimentary bottle of Prosecco waiting for us in the room!Also included was a complimentary early check in at 12pm and late check out at 6pm the next day (since I only booked one night) which was very very rare!What I also like about booking through Intriq is that cancellation at no charges before 6pm one day before arrival as having kids can mean being very dynamic and they can be well one moment and down with flu or fever the next and if we prepaid or if cancellation charges are incurred then I wouldn't have booked it in the first place.Overall in covid times like these, this staycation was a good break for recharging and has me looking forward to the next booking with Intriq!!!

I love travelling and staying at hotels, so since I can't travel out I resort to staycation in Singapore! Like many other Singaporean, I am sure we like to think that we know our hotels in Singapore very well... hmmm we dont unless your name is Winnie from Intriq Journey. I am so glad that I have engaged Winnie to help me with my booking in Singapore. All I need to do is to give her my wish list (which is pretty long) and a budget, she was able to give me recommendation, all the pros and cons of each hotel. My plan was to book one staycation but I end up booking two and will be booking my third one with Winnie again. You will gain so much by booking through an experience and professional travel agent, yes they will earn a small commission given by the hotel (so no extra cost to you), you will have so many pleasant surprises and at the same time you will be helping all these travel specialist during this difficult time too! Thanks Winnie for making my staycation very special for me and my family.
