Southern Africa Tours in October 2027

Great trip, well lead by Omar who took care of everyone through week. Whilst the trio was tough in parts, Omar made sure that the pace was appropriate for everyone. I would highly recommend the trip.

Zagreb to Dubrovnik is a fabulous way to see this stunning country. Plus our guide Petra made everything easy. The hotels were all excellent, the bus drivers skills were excellent. We would recommend Insight to anybody considering a tour.

Outstanding Guide and great walking routes with things to see. La Calela tapas bar near the hotel in Soldeu has excellent food for a very good price and is the only eating venue we ate at that I would recommend. The hotel is quite basic with almost no hanging space in the rooms, and nothing suitable for drying wet clothes - a shortcoming for walkers and skiers alike. Don’t request a double bed room - they are all tiny! The twin beds can be put together in larger rooms however. Very good shower pressure and room make up service. If you are expecting interesting bread, fruits and locally made yogurt for breakfast in the hotel restaurant (typical of other mountain venues) you will be disappointed. But at least you can order eggs. I was disappointed that the owner showed off baskets of porcini mushrooms he had picked locally, but failed to add them to the hotel menu: He said he would eat them himself! Some foreign members of hotel staff were smiling and charming, but the locals less so. There is a convenient supermarket across the road (where you can even buy hangers!). We joined a very good group which made it fun. Excellent local swimming pool in Canillo.

We were taken care of from beginning to end. Every day brought new and amazing experiences. We loved visiting local people and learning about their lives. We ate delicious food every day and stayed at amazing hotels. The highlight was Machu Picchu and we are grateful to our travel concierge, Luis Diaz, who worked tirelessly to make sure that our group made it despite industrial action.

Our leaders Armena and Alex were both excellent. They had a great knowledge of the countries and their history. The meals and wine=tasting with local families was also most enjoyable.

This was a fantastic holiday. The Amalfi coast is beautiful and fascinating! Our tour leader, Gennaro, was very knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm about the area and was a pleasure to spend time with. The hotel was lovely and the family who run it were very friendly and helpful.
