Reviews of our East Africa Tours for Senior Citizens
Our senior travelers love their East Africa journeys — here's what they say.
Anonymous | Traveled in May
Insight Vacations has included a tour itinerary to give travelers a great overview of Scandanavia. From larger cities to small villages you get a cultural experience of the area. This tour is a wonderful way to get an overall view of beautiful scenery, flora and fauna of the area and a feel for life in remote artic regions. I highly recommend this tour.

This was a full itinerary, requiring 4-5 miles of walking on uneven terrain and on many days. For those who have mobility problems, such as my husband, it would have been good for us to be forewarned. On several days, I would take the tour without him, take lots of pictures, so he could see what he missed because he just wasn’t able to keep up. The sights we saw — the Colosseum, Pompeii, the churches, wineries, the leaning Tower of Pisa and many, many more — were all fascinating especially because the local guides were so knowledgeable.

The Focus on Ireland trip was a great introduction to Ireland with a variety of locations to visit, nice hotels and good food. Our tour guide, Cherryl was very good, sharing lots of fun facts and information about areas we visited. Our bus driver, Paddy, was also great and the coach very comfortable, There was adequate time at each location and time for shopping, and exploring or heading to a pub. The local tour guides were very good in the places we visited on the optional excursions. Would recommend taking an extra day or two in Dublin before or after the trip to have time to see more of Dublin, (recommend making reservations ahead of time if wanting to go to Guinness Storehouse.) Weather is variable so pack a raincoat. We enjoyed this tour.

The itinerary is unique in that it covers WWI & WWII battlefield sites & monuments. Many sites are visited each day so while the number seen is large, the time spent at each is short. Travel logistics made it such that some of the optional excursions were not really optional, (the group had not checked in to the hotel & there was nothing else to do if the optional was skipped).
Johan W. | Traveled in May
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Country Roads of Belgium, Luxembourg & Netherlands tour. The itinerary was beautifully balanced between famous highlights and smaller hidden gems, and everything felt very well organised. We especially loved the charming towns, local culture and comfortable pace of the tour. Our travel director and driver were excellent and made the whole journey enjoyable and stress-free. It truly felt like a premium travel experience from start to finish. We came home with fantastic memories and would gladly travel with Insight Vacations again.
Kimberly S. | Traveled in May
The itinerary was jammed packed with places to see using local experts who were passionate and enthusiastic. Insight Vacations added special little touches that truly stood out and left us looking to book our next big trip using Insight Vacations as well. Our Travel Director, Cem, was top-notch and attentive to each and every person in the group. Cem was both professional and personable and truly added to the magic of our group. Our Coach Driver, Pedro, was friendly and kept us safe at all times. This itinerary was very dynamic and on the go and we truly felt we got our money's worth.
