Rome Adventure Trips

Excellent tour. Local guides were all excellent. Itinerary was very good. Rome hotel was not in the best location. Not a lot around it like restaurants, cafes. Optional dinners were way overpriced and the optional Rome dinner was terrible. A number of the group complained to the tour director and most including us did not take the other 2 dinners. Optional tours were all good but again most people found them overpriced and felt that Insight should have included some of them in the package. Hotels were ok and were the same hotels that Globus tours used. Did not like the Palermo hotel even though it was in a fairly good location it was very dark had no place to meet up with others or sit and relax. It would have been nice to end the tour with a hotel by the water or with a pool.

Very interesting and different from other areas of Italy previously visited a number of years ago. The history of Southern Italy and Sicily was amazing, the culinary tastes and traditions that have been carried on and through the centuries. Hearing about the centuries of history and the ongoing preservation that is maintaining the living history that surrounds you on your visit is very inspiring.

I enjoyed the itinerary, it covered all areas I wanted to experience. I liked that there were adequate breaks throughout the touring. A good variety of foods offered, giving the opportunity to try the different types of foods available in Italy. Was mostly a good pace, my sister had a sore foot and it made it easier for her. I look forward to travelling with Insight again.

It goes to a great range of places, each with their own unique history. The sites visited are all amazing and worth seeing. The people in each place are welcoming and proud of their history.

The itinerary includes all important towns and events, the cathedrals and the Count's private home are only two of the historical items to mention. The Unesco sites are an important part of the tour itinerary. It seems that on this tour Everyone took park in the optional events, so I think that's important to keep as well. Ernesta F. included extra information which is one of the reasons we travel with Insight. She was very prepared each day and actually several days ahead Ernesta filled everyone in with what we were doing and how long it would be. Driver Antonio handled the bus exceptionally well and was so polite. It is a good idea to include prepaying the director and driver in the Insight tour fee, then if we wish to over and above donate it's good for them too. I noticed another bus had water on board to sell- I know that Insight prefers we have non-plastic reusable bottles, but sometimes we forget. Especially in the hot summer/fall tours. I think they were stored with the luggage--would this be a good idea?

Well paced. Busy but time to rest and do your own thing. Local guides were awesome and tour director was top notch! Food was great too and I’m from an Italian background.
