The entire tour was enjoyable. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be the Greek ruins in Agrigento. The history and construction information was really great.
Mark C. | Traveled in May
We had a great time, Dani was an immense part of that and she should be recognized for that. Weather wasn't the greatest but it didn't stop everyone from having a great time. One issue during the trip, credit by Insight was much appreciated. Have already made recommendations to all friends about how great the trip was.

Border crossings can be a challenge and should be investigated prior to departing on the excursions that will include them. 2–4-hour delays are unacceptable and absurd. You can't control the countries you travel to BUT you can find out the current situation at the borders and inform the customers prior to departing on the excursion.

You will see things off the beaten trail, who knew there was an amphitheater in southern France still in use that rival's the one in Rome and is still used for bullfighting! In France! You won't miss the main attractions and you will do it door to door with guided service at every stop. Don't worry be happy! Our guide even took the time to purchase little treats that were local to the place where we stopped to give us a taste of the area specialty.

We visited amazing locations and got a nice sample of a lot of different areas and regions. A few places I wished we had more time and did not feel so rushed but overall, it was a wonderful experience.
