Europe Solo Tours for Single Travelers

This itinerary takes you to the places you may have not seen on your own. We covered Scotland from Edinburgh- up to the Orkney islands and worked our way down via Skye and on to Glasgow. We were able to see it all. Please give Michael (our tour guide) and Nat (our coach driver) my highest regards. They were magnificent. The best team I have ever had. Anyone who is lucky enough to have them will feel blessed.

This tours shows the complete Scotland. Your taken from Edinburgh up to top of Scotland and down the other side to Glasgow! The coach was very comfortable and spacious!! The driver ever supplied snacks. I would highly recommend the Country Roads of Scotland tour.

I appreciated the fact we spent a couple of nights in almost all the locations. The optional tours were wonderful. It would not have been as exciting without Frederic as our guide. He was extremely well prepared with the knowledge and history of the regions we visited.He has a difficult job but he was able to keep the group together even if someone like myself was walking with a walking stick. FRANCE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! This was the best way to see it. Our driver, Guy, was an exceptional driver and we were fortunate to have him on our tour. I felt completely safe.

A very well planned, intelligent trip combining walking and sightseeing. Outstanding guide who is articulate, knowledgeable and very helpful. Also, the driver was very professional. My concern is the quality of the hotels. Some of the single rooms were equivalent to student accommodation. However, Scandinavia is expensive and choosing an inner city hotel is difficult in terms of location.

The itinerary is not very tight. We had our free and easy days after each planned tours. The Director, Sharon did well to ensure that, we don’t waste unnecessary time being stuck in a heavy traffic jam, when there was a G7 summit, but alternating and re-arranging the travel patterns. In short, though it was a premium to get into Insight Vacations, it is all worthwhile after all

This was a well thought out and executed itinerary. I t was very varied with both good group and individual time. Very relaxing, and a lot seen. I was however disappointed that two days before departure we were notified that the Glacier Express was not available to us, and we would be using local trains. This apparently was known to Insight well in advance, but not communicated until the last moment. This was a highlight, and one of the reasons we chose Insight rather than a competitor. This is not good business practice. The bus and selection of hotels overall was quite good. One area for improvement: the large luggage was handled by porters, but not the carry on cases. A few of the hotels did not permit the bus to drive up to the front door. The average age of the traveling group was in their 70's and some were frail. They should not have been required to carry up luggage, occasionally a few flights of stairs. At this price point ALL luggage should be handled by porters if the passenger requests this. The tour director, Sharon, was outstanding, as was the driver Nikko. Kudos!
