It was really good having a guide who could be our local expert. Nina was excellent. Anna, our cruise director was also very good at getting us to the front of the line!
We traveled with Insight on a 9 day tour of Europe. We chose them as I had traveled with them before, albeit a long time ago. I had thought the hotels would be central, as claimed, but found they weren't as close to the city centres as expected. Quality of hotel dipped in a couple places, but that may have been the best option at that location.
Insight read more don't seem to make any use of technology, and continue to post paper notices of activity on hotel notice boards instead of using an app - or at least a daily email - to set out the plans. This results in the tour director having to shout out directions at times, and leads to some confusion. This is the 21st century and the technology is there to make group travelling a lot smoother. For those who may not be very fit or mobile, I would not recommend this tour, as the pace was very fast and can be exhausting if you try to do all of the options. I was surprised how many things I would consider should be included were optional, eg visit to Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna. Next time we will travel independently!

We wanted to see the different culture of this country as compared to that of the UK and Ireland. We were fascinated by the influence of the Moors on this country and the very breakout designs of the Spanish artists such as Antoni Gaudi. The Mosques transformed to Christian churches and the building designs of Gaudi were exceptional. The food was a read more whole new world to us which we enjoyed very much. Trafalgar Tour Director, Giuseppe Cillepi, was fun, and hard-working. He tried everything to please the group. We would recommend our friends to travel with Trafalgar in the future.
I absolutely loved this tour and made some great friends. I can highly recommend this tour, it was truly a country roads tour. We were lucky enough to have a fantastic Tour Director Frederic and coach driver Tex. Frederic is so knowledgeable about all parts of France. I enjoyed the trip so much my brother and sisters-in-law are going to do it next year. read more Thanks Jemma for organising it for me.
We booked the Highlights of Eastern Europe trip having toured with Trafalgar several times before. The 2 night stays in each main city provided a good amount of time to do our own thing on the second afternoon at most stops. The cities were spectacular, hard to choose a best place, with Budapest, Prague, Berlin and Lake Bled all vying for top spot. read more The Tour Director, Justine, and driver Sandor were both top quality. There were quite a few Optional Experiences on the tour, including several extra city experiences, so be aware that you need to allow for extra payments to maximise this tour. We really did enjoy the tour, very spectacular stops and a well planned itinerary!
Really beautiful trip, especially the Dolomites, the Grand Dino Hotel, Milan, the Dine-Around evening, and Burano. People were all nice on tour. Plenty of time in most places and mostly relaxing.
Relaxed tour of Prague, Vienna and Budapest 4
Prague, Vienna and Budapest
Rasiah & Denise, WA, Australia, Aug 2018
We enjoyed our recent tour of Prague, Vienna and Budapest. Unlike other tours, this tour was conducted at a relaxed pace. We stayed three days in each city, so we had time to explore on our own. No waking up early every morning or spending long hours on a coach. The tour director was friendly and professional and the coach driver displayed excellent read more driving skills. Our accommodation was great and we had an opportunity to visit a few hidden gems while travelling from one country to another.
The optional excursions were well chosen but they were a little on the expensive side. However, we enjoyed the ones that we took as the local tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. Both the free transfers to the airport were in the morning and was not good for those like us who took the evening flights. Booking our tour through Global Journeys was, as always, a breeze and we want to thank in particular Georgie of Global Journeys for her excellent service.

This was the trip of a lifetime! I loved this trip, although the trip was busy it was jam packed with all the best of Europe. The people I met on the tour were amazing and I appreciated the knowledge and expertise of our tour director. Accommodation was good, the optional experiences were unique and some of the best experiences on the trip. Trafalgar read more were great to deal with and are clearly experts in what they do. Thank you for the most amazing trip, I'll plan my next one soon.
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Bern as our travel director. We visited all the major famous sights Europe has to offer, and more! While the days were long and demanding at times, it was totally worth it when we arrived at landmarks before all the other tour buses! The tour is designed for you to do as little or as much as you’d like, read more so my tip is make the holiday yours and get creative while being driven all over Europe! P.S. don’t be afraid to stray from the group and catch public transport once in a while!
Picture Perfect Trail 11
Highland Trail Inspired by Outlander
Faithe, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, Aug 2018
The Outlander Trail Tour was outlandishly beautiful. Sights of sheer beauty that steal one’s breath while at the same time leaving one in awe. From the highlands to the lowlands, castle ruins perched on the sides of old hilltops and deep dark lochs this tour has it all. The fact that it is themed around a popular television drama is merely a plus!
This tour certainly lived up to its name. We travelled through a great deal of Croatia and experienced much of the culture from the great local foods, excellent wines and demonstrations of local traditions. The beautiful Adriatic Sea was ever present and inviting and the weather was perfect. Our accommodation was of very good quality and the knowledge read more and efficiency of our guide, Greg was invaluable. Only complaint was the hotel in Zagreb (the Sheraton) where everyone on tour felt the welcome dinner and service was a bit sub standard. Optional excursions were great and the included experiences were of a high standard. Would highly recommend this tour as a great way to get to know Croatia.
Best of Finland, Russia & the Baltic States 6
Kerry, NSW, Australia, Aug 2018
Loved the whole trip. Future travellers should be aware of the cost of optional excursions as they can be costly, but in saying that I went on every one of them and have no regrets.
8 Day Britain and Ireland Highlights with Trafalgar 4
Britain and Ireland Highlights
Lang & Roland, NSW, Australia, Aug 2018
We longed to visit the UK and Ireland for a long time. Main focus was on historic places in these countries. Very happy with Trafalgar although the pace was quite fast - but it was our choice. The tour director, Chris Tremlet, was excellent at his job. The itinerary was fully packed with action, food, excitement. We would book to travel again with Trafalgar read more in the future and tell our friends same.
Really enjoyed our Switzerland tour - Insight has never disappointed. Hotels were central, scenery fantastic, coaches have extra leg room and had a professional and knowledgeable tour director in Sara (she went that extra mile to keep everyone happy). Great group of people who mixed well. Well thought out itinerary, as did not spend all day on the bus, read more which is a plus. Will definitely book through Global Journeys again, as online booking so easy.
Wonderful holiday. There were only eleven of us but we bonded like family. Visited ancient sites, ate delicious Turkish food and had a very informative and interesting guide, called Tolga.
Far too little time in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki. 2 and 1/2 days of wasted time driving with little stops coming south along western Norway coast. Best experiences above Arctic Circle. Too many optional excursions when some of these should have been included in the tour price.
Dalmatian Elegance cruise via Insight 5
Dalmatian Elegance
Craig & Dorothy, Victoria, Australia, Aug 2018
This small ship cruise is a must for all. The very best way to cruise, if you don't like those big ships with thousands of people.
This is a great tour of a beautiful country with some interesting experiences however, the best of these were the optional extras and it was generally felt some of these should be included in the tour costs. Accommodation was good apart from Agrigento where the hotel was very low standard compared to other tours I have experienced. It is too far removed read more from the town which meant dinner options were quite limited and the staff didn't speak English and weren't prepared to assist in any way if there were problems. The included meals were of a good standard but far too much too late in the day.
Dealings with Global Journeys and Hannah were professional, efficient and always there to assist with any questions. I have dealt with Hannah at Global Journeys for a number of years now and would highly recommend her guidance and assistance. There are other issues regarding this tour which I will take up with the office.

Great way to see Moscow and St Petersburg for the 1st time! 3
Northern Capitals
Rachel & Danuta, NSW, Australia, Aug 2018
We had a great time. A great way to see Moscow and St Petersburg for the 1st time. We spent 3 days in Berlin before the tour started, which I recommend to have some free time before the tour starts and have a good look around by yourself. I wish we had more time in Denmark, Sweden and Finland. I enjoyed the Baltic cruise. We did most of the the optional read more tours. We were prepared to do so, as we wanted to see all we could.
The ones we liked the best were Russian ballet, Russian folklore show, Chopin concert & Wilanow Palace. We both agreed that Russian Mosiac could have been missed. But it depends on what you want to see. Our tour director Piotr worked hard to make sure we enjoyed our holiday. Our coach driver Romulus worked hard to make sure we got to our destinations. Remember it is a tour, so it means early starts, at times rushing about and long coach rides. But still, we enjoyed our time. Special thanks to Hannah at Global Journeys for helping with our holiday. Couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks again!

We had a great time on the Grand Scandinavia trip with Insight Vacations. The highlight was Geiranger, Norway. Possibly the most beautiful place on earth with its spectacular fjords and waterfalls. We had first class hotels all the way and were touring with a fun group of like- minded travellers from Australia, USA, Canada, and the Philippines. This read more was our third trip with Insight vacations and we will definitely be looking at Insight for our next trip. Thanks Yvonne at Global Journeys for organising our booking once again and for your patience in responding to our never ending questions! We'll be in touch again when planning our next adventure.
