It includes art, culture, and lots of history. I especially enjoyed the piano concert at the Chopin school in Krakow, Poland, and the orchestra concert and Viennese waltz class in Vienna.
Anonymous | Traveled in September
You cover a lot of miles in just 13 days. Not a lot of time is spent in each city, but you are able to see the highlights and determine if it is a place you would like to go back to. The additional excursions that are available offer some great opportunities to see additional things and experience the local culture.

Exciting itinerary and landmarks. Travel Director and Local Guides are well-equipped with information and history about the places we visited. Gave tips on where to shops and restaurants that offer a variety of cuisines.
Anonymous | Traveled in August
The itinerary was excellent. It's truly a "highlights" tour. The main guide () was knowledgeable as were all of the local guides. The optional activities (we did them all) were also excellent. We have no regrets about this tour, nothing could be added or deleted to make it better as far as I can determine. The pace was very good, not too quick, not too slow. This particular itinerary typically had us in a hotel for 2 nights, which we really liked. That contributed to the pace not feeling feeling like it was too fast. We had folks in our group well into their 70's and none complained about a fast pace. Keep up the great work Insight!
