What travelers are saying

"This trip was packed with wonderful excursions throughout all 3 countries with a optional experience to Trier, Germany. I learned so much and appreciated the knowledge, kindness and suggestions of places to see and eat when we were on our own from our fantastic tour director. Our bus driver was exceptional navigating the smaller streets and keeping us safe. The number of people in our group was perfect for a bus tour. Can't wait to travel with Insight Vacations again!"

What travelers are saying

"An excellent trip. Everything went smoothly from booking to getting to the airport the final day. Our guide Gaia was super positive, encouraging and accommodating. Hotel gave a genuine Italian feel. Loved being in a quiet village in mountains. Bus drivers were excellent drivers and buses comfortable. I would classify the walks as hiking rather than walking but still doable. Walking poles with rubber tips a must! Lots of steps but outstanding views, vistas and greenery. One of my most memorable trips!"

What travelers are saying

"My feedback is very positive regarding the overall tour and tour guides. The tour Director Phillip was outstanding in all senses: very knowledgeable about all the different places, very discipline, and a very nice person. Also we enjoyed a lot our driver George. The only suggestion is that we didn't spend enough time in Madrid, just a few hours 2,5 in the bus mainly. I would recommend devoting one whole day to Madrid since there are many historical and interesting places to visit."
