Austria and Greece Tours and Trips

This was a great tour with the right mixture of planned activities, optional activities and free time. The walks on each of the islands were a highlight - the scenery inland was just as spectacular as the coast. Our tour leader Peter was knowledgeable, supportive and fun. We had a great group too!

As first-timers on a group cycling experience, this was an amazing kick-off ride for us. We loved meeting new people in our group and the warm-hearted locals along the way... always gracious and open. The breathtaking scenery was awe-inspiring, especially along the coasts. The history echoed through every destination. The food was some of the best we've eaten anywhere. The challenge of the many miles and numerous climbs was very rewarding, as were the twists, turns, downhills, and straightaways that allowed us to focus on the here and now of our surroundings. And our two tireless guides Alexandros and Dimitris dutifully kept us engaged, safe, and entertained. It was an adventure we'll never forget.

We had a great Peloponnesus tour with Peter! We experienced each historic sight with a preliminary briefing and all questions answered in detail. Our entire group got along very well!

Erin Nedelisky is the ultimate tour director, knowledgable, kind, fun and always going above and beyond the highest expecations of travelers. She is a class act. The tour itinerary was thorough and well timed. Beyond the scheduled destinations and lodging, Erin always selected wonderful restaurants with beautiful views, delicious food and attentive service. She knows the proprietors and they know and like her. She frequently treated us with local specialties. Several of the guests traveling with our tour had very specific needs and wants. Erin always accomodated them with a smile and made related additions/errands seemless. If we could have Erin as our director for every destination, we would choose Insight Vacations over every other provider. She is that good. Driver Alexis was safe, skilled, friendly and welcoming. Especially in very challenging, tight locations, he calmly navigated in a way that amazed us all, I was never nervous for a minute. Local guide highlights: Sotiria in ancient Olympia, Jannis, the archeologist in museum was knowledgable and his enthusiasm was infectious. We went to Delos and our guide there was a younger female archeologist, very energetic, and engaging. We could have stayed there longer. The catarmaran excursion was a highlight. 22 of the 28 in our group went and we all had a wonderful time. Erin always gave us great choices for our free time, with something for everyone. My favorite lodging was in Mykonos - so much charm, interiors in very good taste, well located with a caring staff and welcoing proprietor. I liked the convenience of Santorini lodging to Fira. It's nice to have an easy walk to a town. The olive oil farm was also a highlight. Staying in Athens in the Acropolis location was great since we could walk to the museum in only a few minutes. This museum is , not to be missed. While the tour was excellent, having Erin as the tour director was the stand out. We have taken other very nice tours and expeditions, but she is beyond compare.

We got to see a lot of Greece and learn so much history and culture of the country. Erin Nedelisky was an excellent tour guide on our journey through Greece.

Erin was a fantastic Tour Director. She is very knowledgeable. We had an experience we will always treasure. The itinerary was amazing and in depth. I highly recommend this 14 day tour.
