Venice 17-Day Tours and Trips

Country Roads was very much about seeing parts of Italy that are off the beaten path. The local expert guides were quite interesting. The itinerary had some surprise (to the tour guests) changes like two nights on Capri instead of at Sorrento, only about five hours in Florence instead of two nights and completely missing Siena due to a long planned bike race.

The Insight Vacations tour guide was excellent in all aspects: friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and had many recommendations as to food, products to buy, where to eat, where to meet, etc. The itinerary to see locations was well done and included spots that I had not thought of.

The itinerary combines a visit to iconic sites and places with less traveled county spots such as Todi, Parma, Perugia and others. The pace is active yet travel was comfortable as we traveled in the luxury of a Mercedes Benz coach. Our tour Director was sensational. He had a wonderful warm, kind, engaging personality while still at the “head of the class” with respect to his knowledge and overall professionalism. The local guides were finely curated. Interesting and enjoyable while the optional excursions were well worth the added expense. I highly recommend Insight to folks who are looking to experience a travel adventure that will never be forgotten. I’m already planning my 2026 vacation. Many thanks, Kathleen Quinn Skoog

This took us to places off the beaten track. Was able to explore and experience different things in the different places that I visited on this tour. The options were great as well and I enjoyed them. The tour director was very knowledgeable and accommodating to the group. *personal info removed by Feefo* was great the whole time, was able to joke with the group. Our coach driver *personal info removed by Feefo* was great he looked after us with his safe driving skills and his smile.

This is a wonderful tour, places visited are varied but all very interesting. The scenery is spectacular, every corner you turn is a 'wow' moment. Of course a great tour director can make a tour and I certainly had that in and driver , very special. Can highly recommend this tour and Insight Vacations with whom I have done 13 tours

An excellent tour to see places and experience the Italian lifestyle off the typical tourist trail, as well as the larger cities like Rome, Florence and Venice.The hotels and restaurants were high quality and distinctive and there was a good mix of sightseeing and optional activities. The tour pace allowed free time to explore on our own. I recommend booking additional nights at either end of the tour (Rome and Venice) if you haven't visited these cities as there's so much to see!
