Included dinners are way too late! Pre orders are taken and still there is delays. Earlier dinners please. 4 and 5 star hotel breakfasts are very stingy compared to what they used to be. Very very disappointing way to start very long days. Have more than coffee and pastries! Do better!

The trip far exceeded our expectations. We got to see so much of Yellowstone without being rushed from one site to another. Our wonderful guide , Scott Smiley, was the best!! Friendly , informative , flexible and generous !! Our bus driver , Mike Wilhelm , was careful, courteous , and pleasant. The accommodations were top notch. We will definitely be recommending Insight Vacations to friends and family.

An amazing tour that hits all the high points of Yellowstone's stunning natural beauty, as well as some hidden gems. Our guide, Scott Smiley, was warm, friendly, funny and well-informed. There are full days, and walking, but nothing over a mile, and trails and boardwalks are easy to manage. Park food is not the best (not Insight's fault), but there are many good meals scheduled outside the park. A wonderful vacation/tour for a family of six adults. We decompressed for an extra night in Jackson Hole at the end and were glad we did.

We saw the main attractions of the park such as Old Faithful and the Grand Prismatic, as well as many other thermals. Our guide, Scott Smiley, also located more than 200 bison and other wildlife. Also saw lots of beautiful landscapes. I felt like we got the whole picture of the park.

This tour was another excellent experience with Explore. Darwin, our leader, was superb and always went the extra mile to help with everything. He was amongst the best tour leaders we have experienced. The tour provided a very good introduction to the main attractions of the more visited parts of Peru. Highlights for us were Machu Pichu (of course) and the Uros and Taquile islands on Lake Titicaca, with the boat trip to get there. The whole tour was spent at high altitudes. This should be borne in mind by anyone who has any concerns about their ability to tolerate thin air and a dry atmosphere for long periods. The payoff for this though was superb views of the Andes every day! As we have come to expect with Explore tours, the accommodation quality was a bit variable. The Taquile Guesthouse was actually rather better than we expected, given the previous negative reviews that we had read. Yes, it was quite basic, but it was definitely worth it to experience the rustic way of life of the island, the hosts were very friendly and the welcome a warm one. The accommodation elsewhere on the tour was generally quite comfortable, although our hotel room at Arequipa was a little too noisy. A small point, but we would suggest that the visits from Ollantaytambo to the Maras salt mines and Moray Inca terraces should be included in the itinerary rather than being an optional extra. Everyone on our tour booked for this option rather than the alternatives of kayaking/paddle boarding (expensive and probably in rather cold water) and a craft brewery visit (something you can easily do in the UK, so not a particularly Peruvian experience). Overall, the tour comes highly recommended by us.

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.
