Anonymous | Traveled in May
Well paced and felt well taken care of. Coach very new with good space. Guide and driver made an exceptional team. Nice surprise touches as usual for an Insight tour. Blessed with very good weather which can make or break the experience.
Helen L. | Traveled in May
Very well planned & thought through itinerary. Wasn’t so rushed as we had mostly 2 night stays. I liked the idea of free time or optional extras. The travel guide Tim Smith, was amazing. He had all information for the next day on WhatsApp. & meeting points he would drop a google pin, so very easy to find our way back. Also very well informed about history, events, culture of France.
Donna C. | Traveled in May
The entire trip was absolutely wonderful - the sights, the extraordinary food & wine, the landscapes, the tours, and our guide, Augusto. He was so attentive and caring to all our needs. Everything was so well organized. I felt safe and loved and overjoyed with the experience. So grateful to have spent my 56th birthday in Tuscany!

I rated the accommodations good rather than excellent only because the second hotel had a train track next to it, and trains ran all of the time. We loved our tour manager. He was wonderful! We also loved the cooking class, wine shop tasting, Stresa, Siena, glassblowing, Gondola ride, our hotel room in Venice, Carrara Marble Quarries, villages of Cinque Terre.d

This was a well planned itinerary that focused on smaller villages and towns in Scotland, with tremendous landscapes to see There are two major cities included ie Edinburgh and Glasgow Edinburgh is more rustic and quaint and subdued compared to Glasgow, which reminded me of major metropolitan cities like New York or Chicago I would definitely start this trip in Edinburgh and end it in Glasgow because your time in Edinburgh at the start of the trip will in days not hours
Tracy V. | Traveled in May
My daughter and I went on ths trip together and we both had an amazing time. From the minute we were met at the airport, upon arrival in Dublin, the staff from Insight were very kind and welcoming. Everyone from our Tour Dir., Sicily, and even our coach driver, Paul, made our trip special and very memorable. We loved learnng about local stories and legends that went along with the sights we saw. The daily itineraries had just enough to do, but left us time to venture on our own often, as well.
