Questions & Answers Ask A Question
Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Laurent Millet was an exceptional tour director. He took every opportunity he had to enhance our trip when he discovered a surprising development nearby.
Some of the accommodations left a little bit to be desired. Rooms were very small, beds were hard as a rock and the temperature in the rooms were uncomfortable.
This trip was fantastic. We had a few hiccups at the start in Rome due to the death of the Pope, but our tour guide worked hard to make the best of our time there. Once we went south it was fabulous. We saw so many hidden g places we were able to experience that we would have never found on our own. Sicily was so unique with its incredible scenic landscape. Loved this trip.
Lovely trip; will use Insight again
The trip was not exhausting and full of new things and places to explore. The tour guides presented the history of the different places and held my attention most times. It was a fun and a educational experience.
Judith Surjit, our guide, was #1, very informative, so well organized on our day to day itinerary. I would highly recommend her with Insight vacations. Her personality, knowledge of history of areas we visited was wonderful. Local guides were great also. Our driver, Greg, was great also, always felt safe with him driving, whether rain, sleet or snow. Just a great tour, learned so much about the different cultures. I hadn’t been to these countries.
Wonders of Egypt was an absolute amazing experience. Everything from the beginning to end was like clockwork. I felt safe and taken care of at all times.
Robbie Joyce was wonderful and the driver was excellent
The tour guide, Remi Gosselin, was superb and Enzo, our driver, was incredible. They were professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and very thoughtful. For instance, when we did the gondola ride in Venice, Remi arranged for us to be serenaded. The musicians sang popular songs we recognized and it turned into a sing-along. The locals may not have enjoyed us but we had a great time. I still marvel at Enzo's driving. I would never have attempted to get a bus in some of the places he negotiated with seeming ease. And never once did he make a wrong turn.
It is my sixth trip with Insight. Need I say more?! Thank you to our Travel Consultant. I am looking forward for new opportunities.
This was my seventh Insight vacation and can’t wait to book my next one!
Insight continues to deliver high-quality services and experiences. This was our 4th tour with them, and we will definitely book our next one with them.
