You get to see so many amazing sights and places. Some i had never heard of!
We saw historical sites most of all the on road team and expects areas were very knowledgeable and explained everything well . Hotels and food was so beautifully prepared and tastey . We were welcomed wherever we visited . I will recommend this strip to anyone who want to tour Italy/Sicily . Insight tours are the best . The couch very comfortable we were always connected on wife . Driver is the expect and we felt so safe
A very extensive itinerary but it needed 2 extra days in Rome and 2 days in Milan considering that we drove past and were literally 50 kilometres away from the city
It was a well organised tour and we saw many wonderful towns and cities. Every thing ran smoothly and we give credit to a wonderful tour director and bus driver.
We got to see the key sights of Italy such as the Coliseum, Venice, the David statue and many more. Through Insight we bypassed the lines to get in. Our tour director was knowledgeable and helpful recommending places to eat when not included with the tour. The places we ate were excellent, often in off the beaten pass or in places that you would probably not find on your own. Nothing bad to say about the trip.
Wonderful intinery and the correct amount of time. Our tour guide and driver were fantastic and a great team. Hotels were always a good quality and some were amazing. This was our second Insight tour and we will be back for a third tour
Having taken five trips now with various companies this trip was the best by far our tour guide and bus driver were exceptional - with so much to see and so much to do it was wonderful - so many spectacular photo ops hard press to decide what to publish 🙄
The tour director was knowledgeable on every detail of the tour. so matter how trivial the question he always would provide an answer and if he was unable to provide an answer to a query he would always google and provide an answer to the question.
The itinerary was great except for the final day which was Palermo and quite the disappointment, hotel included. All the hotels we stayed in were not four or five star. They were much lower. Some hotels we even shared with Trafalgar customers and insight is meant to be above Trafalgar so that was quite disappointing, having said this, we had an amazing tour director and a very safe driver.
Italy and Sicily is so different from the north down to the south, landscape culture, food the people and the history. You really need to see it all!
Comprehensive overview of Italy. So many wonderful places were visited, and great food. San Gimignano will forever stay in my memory.
Was a full on tour, excellent tour guide *personal info removed by Feefo* and our driver. Hotels were to far away which was abit disappointing. And abit more free time would have been nice. The local guides were too long. This was my 3rd tour with Insight, the lady courtney who made our booking by phone was so helpful with everything and couldnt do enough for us. Thank you *personal info removed by Feefo*
I saw so much, so many different cities. It was wonderful. It was a pity that I chose to go in the heat of the Italian summer, but that's life. Would I go again? Yes, if I was younger.
Great itinerary if you want to see a good part of Italy in just two weeks. Tour director was excellent and really makes sure that guests have a nice time. Accommodations were outstanding and there was enough free time that you could explore specific locations or restaurants if you wanted to. Strongly recommend this tour.
The Rome resturant was an underwellming experice to start the tour.
This was the best vacation we have taken with Insight! We thought the others we have taken to other European countries was the best, but by far Grand Italy and Sicily was the Best! Our Travel Director was amazing! She anticipated everyone's needs and adapted to the changing landscape in the tour with Jeff Bezos wedding in Venice, the protests in Rome, the train strike, along with the heat wave of 90-95 degrees while we were there. We never noticed the inconvenience and we saw so many things and details we would have not gotten with another tour company and TD. She gave the whole tour group very special detailed attention. We had a local tour specialist at every stop along the way. The hotels and service were exceptional. The bus driver did an amazing job we were always on time and never waited in line. We made amazing friendships with the 26 other people on the tour. We will never utilize another company other than insight! The total service is exceptional. I recommend them always. We are looking forward to our next tour next year! Thank you insight for making a trip to remember!!!
