    Not given the VIP Luxury Gold package. Hotels and meals were not the Authentic Italian cuisine we were expecting. Advertised as providing guests with incredible once in a life time experience. We did not get what we paid for. We were grouped more than once with a much larger group. Dining and accommodations were crowed. This was our third trip with Insight and it will be our last.

    The first hotel in Rome Romanico Palace Hotel was a dump, dirty and dingy. When arriving in Rome after a long plane ride, I would have expected a nicer hotel for the money we paid. Also, we paid a premium for a small group (20 people) but ended up with the larger group (60 people) on several occasions such as breakfast in two hotels that was chaos BTW and some tours. When we pay extra to be in a smaller group, I expect that this would be honoured by Insight. We were disappointed and didn’t get what we paid for.

    The quality of the hotels could have been better. They were clean but very outdated. Especially for the price paid. Very poor quality city tours in each location with minimal information on things to do with our free time. Did not know about the optional excursions until a couple of weeks before the trip which were of course more money. Our travel agent never informed us of this. I believe that for the money paid it should have been a better quality tour.

    I'd give 6 stars if I could ! It was a trip of a lifetime..we were so excited about the iconic sights we saw and had forgotten about other wonderful events and locations; as the tour around Capri; the inside Venice tour etc. The driving was excellent and the tour guide Elena was wonderful....we will cherish the memory forever !!

    We absolutely LOVED our tour with Insights Vacation and would highly recommend it! Our tour began in Rome where we meet Caroline (our tour guide) and Antonio ( our bus driver) as well as our fellow travelers. It was a wonderful tour, so fun and so many amazing things to see. Yes there was a lot of walking but we expected that and started walking at home months before we left. So the walking was no problem for us, plus you must walk to see the sights, so worth it. Yes they do charge extra for extra excursions, we didn’t mind this as we wanted to get the most from this trip. Just a little side note: you could be standing in one location in the city and the tour guide would walk you around the block, where much to your amazement is a massive church or other historical sight. If you didn’t know to look for this, if it wasn’t on your radar, you would not have known it was there. That was why having the Tours and tour guide’s was worth the extra cost. Also not everyone did every tour, several went out on their own to explore or do what they wanted to do. We loved the tour guides as they were so knowledgeable and nice, and most times funny as well. Also for us, not having to mess with maps and taxi’s and finding what we were looking for was another big plus of being on the tour. Each morning we awoke, knowing this is where we are going, this is what we will be seeing and this is what we will be doing, this is where we stay, where we eat, it was all laid out for us.

    And our tour and itinerary was fantastic along with the tour director and driver. At times we were extremely busy sightseeing and doing activities but I could not recommend it highly enough. Inside vehicles are fantastic and like business class on many airlines. The accommodation was extremely central and walking distance to most locations. Anna our travel director was extremely organised and very accommodating.

    Amazing trip to Italy!! Chris and the local guides in Rome and Florence were wonderful- knowledgeable and friendly. Loved not having the stress of planning the trip myself. Some highlights were definitely the visit to the Vatican and the dinner in Tuscany at Tre Pini.
