East Asia Cruise Tour Reviews
Real traveler feedback from Cruise tours across East Asia
Anonymous | Traveled in May
We had a great trip to Italy and saw so much on the Escapade itinerary. We also had a great tour director and driver. We liked the ease of the tour because all driving, tickets, hotels, and many meals we arranged. It would have taken so much more time to arrange this trip ourselves and it would have been much more stressful. We enjoyed the group we traveled with as well. I would recommend spending a few extra days before or after the trip on your own. We only stayed one extra day and I wish we had done at least two or three. There is so much to see in Rome so these extra days would be helpful. Each area of the trip had it's own beauty and history. We will choose future trips with Insight and hope they will be as great as our Italy experience!

Wonderful! Well organized, terrific tour director, Alex, and driver Mario. Local guides were very good. Accommodations excellent, food local and fresh. Travelers from a variety of countries and, fortunately, very collegial. Croatia and surrounding countries are beautiful and the Dalmatian coast incredible. One of the best trips my wife and I have taken. Thank you.

The overall experience, level of service, attention to details, array of sites visited, cultural engagement, pacing, and educational talks from our guide were all superior and well above expectations. An excellent value for the experience we were provided. We added one extra day/night on the front end of the trip to add a day trip to see key sites in the ancient city of Alexandria, which I highly recommend.
