Central Asia City sightseeing Trips

It was a fantastic trip! Our tour director Dani was wonderful and knowledgeable! Our Driver Vojo was amazing! We felt very safe with him behind the wheel, also very helpful! The local guides were fantastic and showed their passion about their areas! A true trip of a lifetime!

This was a fantastic trip! Our Tour Director Tami was the best with lots of extra information and clear directions and written daily updates. Our main bus driver was Skippy and he was friendly, polite and helpful as we dismounted from the bus. He had to be gone one day and so a substitute driver was in place who wasn’t nearly as accommodating. I believe he just needed a little extra training. But Skippy was back the next day with his colorful neckties, humor, and helpful hand as we dismounted.😎 Our hotels were amazing as was the included breakfasts.

All beautiful parks. With just enough time spent in each area. Plenty of great things offered to do. We loved how close we were to the rim of the grand canyon and all the other areas we were at. Just beautiful sunrise and sunset pictures every night and morning.

I loved all the beautiful scenery, and the food was good. No, it was great. Part of my favorite experiences were the agriculture experiences getting to see the different vineyards and the olive groves and the citrus groves and going to the two farms that we went to that that was really great. The vineyard was very interesting hearing about their wine operation. It was interesting watching them make fresh ricotta cheese at the first farm. At the second farm we visited, we watched them make fresh mozzarella cheese, which was also very good, but probably my most favorite part is when we got to Pompeii. When we first arrived, and I saw scaffolding on the side of what it looked to be some kind of structure where they were doing restoration work I didn’t realize what I was looking at until we literally walked into the park and realized that what we were seeing was the former city of Pompeii. It took my breath away I was very overwhelmed by the size and just touched me very emotionally. It just was hard to fathom that an entire city had disappeared from a volcanic eruption, and they have been able to recover a large portion of it and just the structure itself, but they have been able to recover and share it. It was amazing.

We had a great time, Dani was an immense part of that and she should be recognized for that. Weather wasn't the greatest but it didn't stop everyone from having a great time. One issue during the trip, credit by Insight was much appreciated. Have already made recommendations to all friends about how great the trip was.

Border crossings can be a challenge and should be investigated prior to departing on the excursions that will include them. 2–4-hour delays are unacceptable and absurd. You can't control the countries you travel to BUT you can find out the current situation at the borders and inform the customers prior to departing on the excursion.
