There's a particular kind of holiday that doesn't announce itself with a swim-up bar. It's the one where you wake in a cave home carved into Cappadocia's tufa, freewheel through Tuscan vineyards with the smell of warm cypress in the air, or hike into a canyon so deep the light only reaches the river at noon. That's the texture of an Intrepid trip – and we've got £500 towards one to give away.

Intrepid has been getting this right since 1989, specialising in what it calls the real, rare and remarkable: small group adventures of no more than a dozen travellers, led by locally based guides who actually know the back roads. It's the world's largest travel B Corp, certified since 2018, with a genuine commitment to keeping tourism's value in the communities it visits.

Europe is one area where the brand shines. Think slow cycling through the Italian countryside, hiking the deep canyons of Croatia and Montenegro, or simply travelling among like-minded people who'd rather meet a place than tick it off. With over 1,000 itineraries across more than 100 countries and travel styles to suit every budget and pace, the hardest part is choosing.

One lucky reader will win a £500 voucher to put towards a European Intrepid small group trip – a proper head start on the adventure you've been promising yourself.
