Venice Holidays and Tours

Fabio, Our travel director on the Country Roads of Italy tour did a truly outstanding job. His deep knowledge of Italy’s history, culture, and hidden gems brought every stop to life, from the hill towns of Tuscany to the quiet beauty of Umbria. He handled every detail with professionalism, patience, and genuine care, making the entire journey smooth and stress‑free. What impressed me most was his ability to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere while keeping everything perfectly organized. His recommendations for local restaurants were unique experiences made the trip feel personal and unforgettable. This tour was already a fantastic itinerary, but our travel director elevated it into something truly special. I highly recommend traveling with Insight Vacations — they made Italy come alive in a way I’ll never forget.”

Hits a lot of highlights for anyone visiting Italy for the first time. We felt that there were too many “optional” itinerary items at additional cost. Overall a nice balance of planned itinerary and free time availability.

Overall fantastic trip. Great itinerary with very memorable moments in the small towns of Monreale, Cefalu, Taormina, Savoca, Positano, Assisi, Cinque Terre, San Gimignano and Burano. Optional Experience dinners were great especially at the Ranch House Pizza Dinner in Sorrento, Roman Evening with Dinner, Tuscany Countryside Villa Dinner and Lagoon Cruise with Dinner in Burano. Bring your walking shoes as you definitely won't regret the places and sites you will see with all the steps you'll be walking.

The tour manager was wonderful and we saw some very cool off the beaten path sites. It was a great tour with a good balance of activity and free time.

They keep you hopping. Such a great way to see a lot of sights. Do not expect a lot of relaxation if that’s what you’re after. You can opt out of activities but you’d miss amazing things. Great way to see a lot and then decide what’s your favorite to go back to. Guide is knowledgeable and friendly. They keep him busy as well. You get an opportunity to meet great people too, overall amazing experience!

The Tour Director was amazing! Knowledgeable, courteous, fun, thoughtful and efficient. All of the on-site tour guides were great. We covered a lot of territory, making the most of scenery and stops along the way.
