Great sights and easily paced 5 , New Zealand, Dec 2017
Hotels were great throughout the tour, with beautiful sights and very informative local guides. While breakfasts were great at all the hotels, the same can't be said with the dinners provided. They were mediocre at best. Our tour director was very helpful, but could do with a good dose of personality and enthusiasm! This is our second tour with Insight, read more having done a previous one to Spain/Portugal which was simply fabulous on all fronts, so therefore this tour was a tad below our expectations.
A wonderful interlude over Christmas 1 , VIC, Australia, Dec 2012
This was a wonderful interlude of six days over the Christmas period. We saw so much and the tour guide was generous in her help and information, never left wondering. Highlights were the mealtimes, evening dinners, so many in very interesting venues. They showed us places we would not have found by ourselves.
Well paced tour with a variety of experiences 1 , Australia, Dec 2012
Insight had a well paced tour with a variety of experiences. The optional events, tours were marvelous. Cultural events outstanding for restaurant, entertainment and food. Tour guide excellent, friendly, efficient, knowledgeabl and she shared her own experiences growing up in the region and made us feel special. I am sure she deflected problems before read more they arose as there were none apparent. Lost luggage dealt with well by hotel and tour staff. The effort made to accommodate the Christmas season, with celebratory meals, and ensuring we were well entertained and fed in cities with eateries and things otherwise closed for feast days. Advertised as a Christmas market tour and we had ample time for this. Info about words in Czech, Slovak, German and Hungarian would have been good, and info about church service times would have been appreciated. Midnight mass at cathedral was a safe bet and we went.
All aspects of the tour were great 1 , Australia, Jan 2012
The tour went off without a hitch, everyone involved, the tour director, driver, hotel staff and local guides all were great. There was lots of information, enough free time to poke around and additional tours for those who wanted to delve deeper into the cities and the culture of these amazing places. Without guides the cities themselves would have read more been daunting and could not have been appreciated in the short time frame. Stops in Chesky Kumlov and Bratislava enhanced the experience as the time on the bus was not too great. Overall a good time with a group of friendly people.
