Kern R. | Traveled in June
The trip was excellent from end to end. The places we visited were spectacular. The coach was very comfortable. Our hotels were of high quality and the breakfasts they provided were very good. In particular, our tour director, Helder, was excellent. He kept us informed and on schedule, and he was very entertaining.

Chose that tour so I could experience the mainland of Greece as well as the islands. Probably would have preferred 2 nights on each island instead of 3 with Crete included. The mainland was beautiful with so much history and excellent local guides. The weather was perfect in May. Would definitely recommend the tour!
Charlotte | Traveled in June
This was an incredible trip and I highly recommend it to anyone. Shout out to our guide, Arturo, who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible trip. My particular highlights were Lake Titikaka and the Inca Trail. The itinerary was perfectly crafted - with the first week a bit slower to allow us to get to used to the altitude, and the second week the walking ramped up with the Inca Trail. It was the perfect itinerary that went at a good pace and allowed us to see lots of Peru in two weeks. Thank you!

Greece has been one of our favorite trip so far. The country is so beautiful & everyone was so nice. Loved the food & the orange pie( cake) was one of our favorite dessert. Our group leader Lisa was outstanding & went way above any other leader we have had.(Wish all of the leaders could be so wonderful!) The place she recommended us to try or see was always great. Thank you insight for our wonderful trip & leader.
Pamela S. | Traveled in June
Natural Wonders of Iceland has a wonderful itinerary. Our experience was like landing on a different planet! Each day we traveled to interesting sites and adventures. We experienced waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes, geothermal landscapes, geysers, snow covered mountains, icebergs and a thermal pool spa! We enjoyed watching seals play on the beach and following whales in the bay!

Enjoyed everything about this holiday. We packed in so many sights and experiences, without it being overwhelmingly full on, and the balance between guided and free time worked perfectly for us. A big shout out for our guide Vania - she is absolutely superb.
