European Grandeur

The tour involved spending excessive time on the bus, with over 20 lunches at gas stations, which quickly became tiresome. Group dinners were disappointing; it was actually better to skip them and explore dining options independently. By the end of the tour, only about 10% of our group continued to attend the group dinners. While there was a bathroom on the bus, it was functional for only about 7 out of the 26 days, as once it became full, it was unusable. I would not recommend this tour to others. Insight has noticeably reduced the quality and service compared to their pre-COVID standards. Accommodations were generally low quality, with most hotels rated only 1-2 stars. On eight nights, the hotels lacked working air conditioning, forcing us to sleep in rooms at 86 degrees, with nothing more than a fan offered, which is unacceptable.

It was very comprehensive and very well done

The itinerary took us to all the places and more that we had always wanted to see. It also gave us multiple optional experiences we weren't expecting. Personally I think we enjoyed our holiday even more with our guide , who gave us so much information on every city and attraction we saw.

The itinerary is full on but it has to be to enable seeing everything. I loved it. Great taste of so many cities, countries and places to see.

Possibly needs to be a day or two longer as it feels as if you are in the bus too much. Also 2 to 2-1/2 hours between toilet breaks is probably too long.
