Mediterranean City sightseeing Trips

We saw a lot more beautiful places than expected. Our tour guide and driver were great and we couldn’t have asked for a nice group of people to travel and explore with.

Having taken more than half a dozen motorcoach tours with various companies with my family as well as alone, I am well-acquainted with guides, accommodations, coaches, and the extra touches that make a tour interesting, comfortable and meaningful to travelers. First and foremost, Carol Kendrick, of Insight Vacations, is absolutely stellar. I would even say she is the best guide/hostess/caretaker of the many I have experienced. Much of this is due to the extra little touches of "above and beyond" she undertook for her fellow travelers. We found snack bars on our bus seats on a day when we would have more time on our own, or colorful bandanas which she had pre-laundered when she expected that the canyon wind and dust might be bothersome. It was apparent that her research and knowledge of the area were extensive and she had illustrations, maps and directions which were helpfully projected on the bus monitors. She was well-organized and detail-oriented. She was attuned to our needs without being overbearing. She was attentive without being intrusive. In short, Carol Kendrick is a gifted guide, teacher, and ultimately friend, who established parameters and expectations of behaviors and information that allowed our group members to return home with fond memories and new friendships.

I would rate this a 10/10. Insight covered all the bases - professional guide, lovely coach, interesting itinerary, way too much food!, and all our fellow travellers were lovely. I don’t know how this tour could be any better.

So much to see. Very busy days but all worth going to if you take in the optional excursions. Another day in Barcelona would be better either on your own or added to the tour.

Sean Buckley was absolutely the best part of our tour. Keeping us informed and entertained the way thru. Our trip to Malzards pub was so much fun as was the distillery. The Giants Causeway-amazing. The history in our city tours was fascinating. We had a lovely time.

Perfect for those who want to have one hotel location and to see a focused vacation in Paris. Trips to the Palace of Versailles and Monet’s Giverny provided experiences outside the city. This tour included major highlights and left free exploration time to allow everyone to see what they wanted. Our guide made sure we were comfortable using the metro and trains to help independently navigate around the city. Included meals were wonderful and the dinner on the river cruise and in the Eiffel Tower were very special. The Parisians were very welcoming and friendly.
