- Greg· October 22nd, 2024We chose Insight because we had traveled with them to Switzerland pre Covid an were impressed the tour - HOWEVER.Standards and inclusions have declined since then - e.g. "flourishes' are now a coffee or biscuit instead of pre Covid - entrance to the St Bernard dog breading facility. Hotels are no longer in the middle of the action and in some cases were not even on the town map (similar to Cosmos hotel locations). You had to negotiate a flight of steps to get into some hotels, and one we had to walk in a traffic lane to get into the bus. We will no longer travel with Insight as the value for the top price we paid for the tour is not worth it - choose Cosmos instead and save a motza!!Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewWe sincerely thank you for sharing your valuable feedback and ratings with us and apologise for any shortcomings you encountered during your tour.

- GGlendaCook· October 8th, 2019The tour was a relaxed pace, not too rushed which was nice & the start times in the morning were not too early which was nice as that makes the tour feel more like a vacation. The sights and inclusions were really good and there was no hard sell to take then up by the tour director. The tour took in a not so travelled route of Spain, but none the less the scenery was stunning and beautiful. I wish in some areas we could have spent more time, but not too worry next time.Show moreTrip date: September 2019
- JWJohn· September 28th, 2019Best vacation of my life. Excellent itinerary, comfortable tour bus, and top-notch guide (shoutout to Angela). This trip is a great balance of fun, history, and amazing food. Each destination also has incredibly knowledgable local guides that really bring everything to life. Great customer service too. I booked another tour with Insight while on this trip and was able to set the whole thing up 3 days before departure. I have travelled all over the world, and Insight is the way to go.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewWe are delighted to learn that your time on the road with Insight Vacations was a memorable one.

- BBBhaswati· July 21st, 2018This was a great trip. The only downside was the surprising behavior of some of the passengers ( all over the age of 50) behaving like children with regards to seat allocations.Trip date: June 2018
- CCarmella· May 13th, 2018We spent so much time on the bus, even if we weren’t going that far. When we stopped many times had to scramble to find something to eat. The included dinners were sub standard and so were some of the hotels. They were in need of renovation. We only stayed in one really nice hotelShow moreTrip date: May 2018
