Balkans Mountains Trips

Trip was full of beautiful scenery and unforgettable experiences. Hotels were very welcoming/comfortable/centrally located. Itinerary allowed for some time to explore on our own. Tour director was very knowledgeable. Switzerland is a bucket list destination and this tour didn’t disappoint.

Great itinerary and good attention to detail. All the reservations were made ahead to time to make it a seamless trip. The tour director was fantastic, he we helpful and had great information sessions on our drives. He paid attention to all the details and we were always attended to and felt like we were honored guests. The hotels were good and the bus driver was terrific and very safe. The bus was clean and in great shape. I would highly recommend Insight Tours.

I had a great time on the Madeira tour. The scenery was spectacular, and it was fun to explore the island with a lovely group of people. Filipe was an exceptional guide who went out of his way to make sure everyone had fun. The itinerary gave us a chance to see the various parts of Madeira, from the spooky trees in the middle of the clouds to stunning mountain and coastal areas.

Wonderful week led by our excellent guide Felipe.Great variety of walks,peaceful levadas and some challenging ascents and descents with stunning views. Felipe was very professional and considerate to all our group members.His knowledge of Madeira was excellent. Thank you Felipe and Explore!

This trip took me to some parts of Georgia that would be extremely hard to access as a solo traveller. The walking was fabulous, despite several walks being cut short by excessive snow lying much lower than typical for June. The views made up for this, as we were extremely lucky with predominantly dry weather while we were in Svaneti. The accommodation was homely and I felt lucky to experience Ushguli before it becomes more accessible and spoiled. I regret not adding a few days in Tbilisi before or after the trip. While most of the food was delicious I wouldn’t recommend this trip to vegans or people unable to eat wheat, as in the remote areas there is very little choice and bread, eggs and cheese are staples at every meal.

A wonderful chance to explore a fairly remote, fascinating and very beautiful part of Georgia. Excellent, satisfying and sometimes challenging hiking. Omar was an outstanding guide and leader. He took great pains throughout to ensure our individual comfort and safety and to introduce us to a wide range of Georgian history and culture. He was throughout patient and good humoured.
