East Asia Escorted Tours and Guided Trips

This was our first guided tour on a motor coach/bus and we loved it. Our travel director was smart, joy-filled and a delightful host. It felt like every detail was taken care of.

Our guide Barbara was great and all of the local guides excellent. Hotel in Milan was nice and even though not in the middle of everything, still a very nice location. Trento wasn't much to see and hotel location was in nowhere. Bazano was a nice stop and lovely tour guide. Hotel in Cortina was beautiful, great location, miserable keys to the room - really miserable. The Dolomites were everything that I had hoped they would be, you were on the top of the world. The history of Northern Italy is fascinating. Hotel in Venice was nice enough, but felt far away - difficult to get your bearings in Venice. The late afternoon drink in St. Mark's Sq was magical. The music, the famous Italian songs, the quietness of the square was perfect. We then went on two wooden motorboats down the Grand Canal at dusk - simply beautiful. Our stop on Lake Garda was ok. Town was very cute, but the amount of tourists was unbearable. Literally ferries frequently dropping off large amounts of people - quite clausterphobic. Our hotel on Lake Maggiore Grand Hotel Bristol was incredibly beautiful. Rooms were huge, smelled new and very modern - loved it. Unfortunately by then, I had the flu/pneumonia and stayed in. Mostly Americans on the trip every one was very nice. I will say I have preferred the trips that have a nice international mix (Trafalgar Croatia/Slovenia was the most diverse). Beautiful trip.

Insight did an outstanding job with hotels, restaurants, and sightseeing. Everything was either four or five star. Top of the line had an absolutely wonderful time. Anna Target are tour. Director was absolutely outstanding. This is my third time traveling with Insight and I guarantee you it will not be my last. I recommend this to all of my friends.

We were taken to interesting historical places with guided tours and learned so much. All the tour guides were great and were always able to answer all questions, some were humorous as well. We were given a little time after the tours to poke around a little or shop if that was available. The scenery was beautiful, our bus tour guide was fantastic, and our bus driver was amazing.

It was easy paced, but still covered a lot of sites. The optional offers were great for us in Budapest as we weren’t as familiar with the city, while we could go on our own in Vienna and Prague. Our main guide was fantastic and kept us informed and moving the whole time, while the local guides were all experts and gave us a great feel for all three stops.

The tour guide Al was exceptionally talented with his knowledge especially being an archaeologist. The sites we were taken to were fantastic. Rooms with sea views, restaurants that looked after its guests.
