Good trip. Excellent guide and driver. Lots of driving, but covered a lot of the country. Reasonable amount of free time. Good hotels.
This was a very well planned and executed trip, allowing us to experience a great array of both monuments and everyday Egyptian life. I particularly enjoyed being able to cruise the Nile and experience the changing panorama of landscape, village life and the abundant bird and animal life. My accommodation was fine, although some others in the group read more Sid they had encountered some problems. The ubiquitous presence of insistent hawkers and vendors everywhere was definitely intrusive and unwelcome….this was the only downside for me. The tour guide was a qualified Egyptologist and provided us with fantastic background and information about every place we visited, which made the whole tour that much more enjoyable. If you enjoy history and the natural world this is a great experience…sorry should add, and enjoy very hot weather!! 🥵
Wonderful tour through the south of France 2
Best of France
Megan and Terry , QLD, Australia, Sep 2023
This was our first Trafalgar tour and it was great. The quality of the tour guide and the coach driver was amazing. Our guide was so enthusiastic, caring and kind and made everyone feel welcome. The included activities were great and we did all the optional ones also. It is a busy day but you get to see so much of France. We particularly enjoyed the read more be my guest, St Emilion winery and the night in the castle. You would need at least a few days either side in Paris to do all the things the things that the tour does not cover such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre and Arc de Triomphe. Hotel accommodation was mostly good. Buffet breakfast every morning was wonderful. (GJ: Great photo!)
Travel by Train in Switzerland - WOW 1
Contrasts of Switzerland
Christine & Rob, NSW, Australia, Sep 2023
Well organised tour. The logistics of moving 47 people on and off trains to a strict timetable would be a nightmare, but Carolyn our guide, handled all aspects in a professional and friendly manner. This tour is not relaxing, but you do get to see some magnificent scenery throughout the Swiss Alps. Early mornings and punctuality is a must, but totally worth it!
We really enjoyed our 'Best Of Italy' tour with Trafalgar. The tour director and driver were the best, as were the tour guides for the daily and optional excursions. The hotels we stayed in were very good and some were excellent, that is, above the standard we were expecting. Our bus was brand new and kept in immaculate condition throughout the tour. read more There were 44 of us on a 51-seater coach and it was great to meet people from other parts of the world. We all got on very well and made some new friends who we will continue to stay in touch with. While we enjoyed everything we saw, Lake Maggiore and San Gimignano were special places that I wouldn't hesitate to go back to and spend more time at. We did all the optional excursions, and I would recommend doing that, as they provide an opportunity to see much more of the country than would otherwise be possible. This is the third coach tour I have completed while travelling overseas and I have no hesitation in saying that Trafalgar have been the best.
Egypt was breathtaking and Insight only made it better. Our guide, Wael (an Egyptologist) was engaging and a joy to listen to. The earpieces we used were not the cheap ones and we never lost connection. I loved everything about our trip from being met at Cairo airport and being escorted through the airport to the drivers, all the staff on our ship sailing read more the Nile, our magnificent tour guide, Wael, who stayed with us the entire trip, the accommodation at Marriot Cairo ( an experience in itself) and of course the temples and pyramids of this incredible country. Highly recommend.
Great UK and Ireland holiday!! 2
Britain & Ireland Discovery
Denise and Gordon, QLD, Australia, Sep 2023
It was really a well organised trip, right from the very beginning with Global Journeys and Georgie, right through the getting them to organise all the flights and accommodation before and after… it all made it work so well! The bus driver Alf and the tour director Dave, really cared about all of the great bunch on the tour. We were various ages and read more all got along really well!! The tour director thought about what we were seeing and extra touches that made it memorable! They really looked after those of us who had ability problems during the trip always!!! Going above and beyond!!!
The accommodation was clean and some were family run and a touch of nostalgia, made it all perfect!! We had many organised meals, we found that such a help because the trip was jam packed with so much to see and do, it was very welcomed!! The one thing I would ad for the tour director is that I’m sure there would always be some who would welcome to be told about any Aurora sightings, no matter what time of the night!!!! So as not to miss this spectacular sight!!! The trip was a 22 day through England, Scotland ( magnificent Scottish highlands and Orkney Islands) Northern Ireland , beautiful Ireland, Wales, and back to England… all so magnificent!!! We really loved the trip and are very glad we chose Insight and Global Journeys…thanks to all involved!!

Theresa and Juanito, NSW, Australia, Sep 2023
This tour brought us to the beautiful cities of Prague, Vienna and Budapest as well as nearby country sides. The pace of the tour is great as it enable us to explore and discover more places of interest ourselves. The accommodation in Prague is huge and centrally located. It allowed us to take public transport on our free times.
An experience beyond words 2
Country Roads of Central Europe
Juan and Petra, CA, United States, Sep 2023
Insight vacations is truly a remarkable company. Absolutely flawless from beginning to end. Our tour director, Madeleine was courteous, friendly knowledgeable and very well organized. Everything was thought of in advance and perfectly executed. Ned, the driver of the coach, was likewise friendly, courteous and extremely skilled. There is nothing read more we can suggest that would make the experience any better. Great hotels, dinners, excursions and overall itinerary. Once again, it was flawless.
This tour was fabulous with Trafalgar, and expertly handled by Global Journeys. The weather in September was very hot and humid. The standard of hotels were excellent and our guide Misa was lovely with good English. Another day in Osaka would have been perfect as we didn’t get to see much arriving midday Thursday and leaving for the airport Friday at read more 6:30am. Thanks for some great memories and great people 🥂
This was one of the best tours we have ever been on. Trafalgar really did their homework and we got really beautiful hotels and experiences with them. Perhaps a few too many temples in the end, but still, a fabulous experience. Off the beaten track and saw the real Japan. It was hot and sticky in September, but the aircon in the coach was perfect. Thank read more you to Hannah for a trouble free booking and taking care of any requests we had.
UK in a hurry (Trafalgar - Britain and Ireland Grandeur) 2
Britain and Ireland Grandeur
David and Michaela, QLD, Australia, Sep 2023
The tour was all encompassing perhaps too much. There was a lot of bus travel days where you didn't get to your accommodation until 6pm or later and then it was get ready for dinner. Some days where you finished at 4 especially if you were walking distance to city would have been nice. But overall, Trafalgar are great to travel with, very organised, read more take you to mostly the right places. Hotels are comfortable, meals are good but I would suggest you don't need to do all of the "optional" extras. Hannah from Global was excellent in all her organizing skills as per normal. Hannah was a great help to us in a previous booking which got cancelled because of Covid. She fought very hard in getting all our money back instead of credits which was fantastic.

Country Roads of Switzerland
Kiew Kwan and Chee It, kuala lumpur, Malaysia, Aug 2023
We had a great time on this holiday trip. The pace was good and well organized. The scenic drive along the country roads is incredibly scenic with stunning views of the snowcapped Swiss Alps, romantic lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, vineyards, green pastures, old towns, and charming hillside villages. On the second day, we had truly a wonderful experience read more getting up to the summit of Mount Stanserhorn aboard an open top funicular cable car and the opportunity to take great photo shots of the wonderful mountain scenery. Among the stunningly snowcapped Swiss Alps, the iconic Matterhorn and the world famous Eiger Mountain offer spectacular views and lifetime experiences. Overall, this was a memorable holiday, complete with exciting train rides, cable cars, luxury cruise of Lake Geneva and spacious touring coach on our drive covering most of the major Swiss cities. We commenced our 14-day trip on 29/08 and had expected the weather to be cool and clear but sadly most of the days were hot and sunny.
This was an excellent vacation. It was packed with lots of sightseeing and Trafalgar had a great itinerary planned which was executed by both Tour Directors we had with efficiency and humor. Perhaps a little to jam packed with churches in the first half of the tour.
Wonderful tour through Normandy 2
Normandy, Brittany & The Loire Valley
Robyn, NSW, Australia, Aug 2023
I couldn’t fault this tour. From the tour guide to the accommodation. It was my first Insight tour but it won’t be my last. More expensive than other tours but more inclusions and 5 star accommodation.
Our time in Ireland with guide Peter and driver Dennis was remarkable. It was everything the brochure promised and more. Peter has a wealth of information to share about the two Irelands that he obviously loves. Highlights include the Titanic Experience, taxi tour with commentary of Dublin, Malin Head, specialist guide in Derry, Waterford Crystal factory read more and the Ring of Kerry. The hotels were superb and the company of like-minded travellers fun.
I don't have the words to describe how wonderful this trip was every day brought a new highlight. Our tour guide (Matt) was every engaging and insightful. Only downside was it is VERY expensive more so than I expected but even that didn't spoil the experience nor beauty.
Eastern Canada with Insight Vacations 1
Best of Eastern Canada and USA
Bill and Kaylene, QLD, Australia, Aug 2023
We enjoyed the tour, our first with Insight Vacations in Canada and America. I feel that Insight Vacations standards have dropped - not totally but no airport pick up or drop off's, then a hotel change at the end. We paid months earlier, then came the notification about the change from a $700 night hotel to a $168 night hotel.
We have just completed the 20 day Grand Scandinavia tour with Insight Vacations which departed Copenhagen on 13th Aug 2023 and ended in Oslo on 1st Sep 2023. It was an amazing trip with a good mix of everything in it. Be prepared with a good pair of walking shoes - but well worth it. The weather was great with some rain on only one day. It's still summer read more up there so don't overdo it with the woolies. The hotels were of a high standard and very comfortable except for the Hilton Stockholm. The included meals were good as well. The Optional Extras were good as well and well worth it. Some did not happen due to logistical issues but was not the end of the world as there were plenty of other things to gawk at. Overall a great trip and definitely a MUST DO.
