What travelers are saying
"The land portion of the tour was close to perfect. Erin is a great tour director and the driver, Andreas is top-notch. They both had great personalities and made the trip fun. The days were long but we had frequent breaks and great excursions. The accommodations were definitely business class, as advertised and the lunches on the road were okay, but the dinners were outstanding.
The cruise portion of the tour had great excursions and the food was adequate, BUT the accommodations were nowhere near business class! Insight vacations book their cabins on deck 4. I would not take this tour if the brochure states that is one of their options; OR I would secure a different deck before booking. Deck 4 has engine fumes, cigarette smoke and sewer odors day and night. Also, the door to Deck 3, which is the disembarkation deck, is left open so on hot days the halls are HOT! It's hard for the A/C in the rooms to compensate.
The myinsight website does not deliver as promised. You cannot pay online and you will never get your tour itinerary on the website. I was traveling with a companion from a different part of the country. Insight vacations seemed totally unable to get us both on their email list at the same time. I would get the emails for a while (including the voucher for her payments) so I had to forward them to her. Then she would ask for the emails and I would be left out."
