North Africa Tours and Trips for Seniors

1) The pace was nice with plenty of time to do things on your own however, it would be nice if Insight identified local opportunities in advance so we could evaluate and make reservations. As it was, there were 2 places we would have really like to see but they were unavailable once we discovered them. How about a simple list of places to consider such as Belvedere Mansion or Budapest Government House or Klimt Museum for Mucha Museum or the “Most beautiful library in the world”. Places you know fit within the itinerary and hotel locations, not just a link to TripAdvisor. 2) There were people on the tour who couldn’t handle the cobblestones and hills. You need to find a way to move them more efficiently rather than hold up the entire group.

Very hectic, covered too many venues, with a time limit at each place, Definitely not a tour for older people. Tour director and driver were kind and considerate, listening and helpful constantly, Food was not always the best at the set menu restaurants, eg paella with only choice of chicken or rabbit, Flamenco boring, story hard to understand and too long Hotels all excellent with generous breakfast selections and service

Overall it was excellent. Extremely good tour director - very good communicator. Highly skilled driver, and friendly. Only two disappointments were Postojna Cave and the optional restaurant in Split 1) Cave is stunning, how we viewed them was very disappointing. Herded like cattle onto a small train. 100 people in the party with a tour guide that moved very quickly, spoke very quickly and we did not have any means to hear her unless we were up close. I could not keep up and/or my path was constantly blocked by people stopping for photos / selfies. The whole walk underground was a blur as I focused on not slipping over and keeping my balance on the uneven ground. 1/5 2) Optional dinner in Split. Epetium. Please don’t take people back there. The food was over all awful and the wine very cheap. My wife had vomiting and diarrhea all night and into the next day after this meal. The entertainment was the only saving grace. 2/5

We totally appreciated Betty's efforts on our behalf. The guides she provided were very good. The experiences were wonderful.. For helpful comments. It might help travellers if you could give some printed and verbal guidance on how to get WiFi, use the shower mechanisms and get a bus or a metro ticket. Location maps were also helpful. Darryl

The trio was terrific-I thought it was very good value for everything that we got. Beck (T.D.Beck) was amazing-she was extremely well organized and kept us all on track. She knew a lot about the two countries that we were in and all of us looked forward to her presentations on the history, including information on Isabella and Ferdinand (“Izzy & Ferdy”), 2 very instrumental figures in the history of the areas we explored. Also, Things came up (someone blathering on her cell phone when the rest of us wanted to listen to stories on Izzy and Ferdy), and Beck handled it (and all other problems) swiftly and with a lot of style. Our driver, Joao was also outstanding. We saw a LOT, and loved it all.
