WHY CHOOSE AN INSIGHT VACATION?

What modes of transport does Insight use? Insight engages many styles of included transportation to give you an exciting and varied holiday. From high-speed trains, alpine cable cars and hydrofoils to open-top taxis, river cruisers and horse-drawn carriages. Enjoy them all. You’ll also travel on our full-sized, luxury high-deck motor-coaches with just 40 seats and up to 100% more legroom than other operators. It’s like travelling Business Class. Are there other advantages to having fewer seats? Yes there are. With Insight, it’s not just extra legroom that each guest enjoys, there’s also the extra window space. You can recline without crushing the person behind and you have more room for personal belongings and luggage (our allowance is actually higher than other operators). It’s also quicker to embark and disembark, sometimes saving up to an hour or more on days when there are frequent stops.

What is the optimum group size for an escorted journey? We believe Insight has the best possible group size – an average of 32 guests but a maximum of 40 guests, this ensures a higher level of service and more personal space. Larger groups than Insight can get a little crowded. Legroom on motor-coaches with over 40 seats will be considerably more constrained, there will be less window space for viewing sights and scenery, and there are more people using the facilities and services.Are smaller groups on smaller coaches better? Small is not necessarily optimal either. Legroom is more cramped on smaller vehicles, the windows are smaller and lower down, luggage space is constrained, the ride is not as smooth and, with fewer travellers, choice of companionship may be limited. Not only that, having just one person acting as both driver and guide means service and personal attention simply will not match the higher staff to guest ratio of Insight, with our dedicated team of a professional Tour Director and an expert Driver.

Vatican museums line at 9.00 am, stretching 1.1km in length. Visitors wait up to 4 1/2 hrs! With Insight, you’ll go straight to the front with VIP priority entrance.

Independent costs keep adding up.Finding your way isn’t easy.

Touring independently can be fun but it is also hard work. You have to plan your route, book your hotels, pick the sights you want to see, find out how to get there and check hundreds of timetables and opening hours. You also must cope with different languages, currencies, local driving laws and border formalities. You will often spend more time organising your holiday and dealing with hassles than enjoying it!

Travel solo and you’ll never know what you missed. You’ll see each destination just as a tourist, knowing only what the guidebook tells you, and you’ll stand in line at every attraction. With Insight, we will show you each place through the eyes of a local. Art experts, local historians, artisans, chefs, wine experts and raconteurs will personally introduce you to their home town, their area of expertise and their culture. Not only that, when you visit those famous places you’ve dreamed about, most times we’ll take you straight to the front of the line with priority entrances and privileged access.

INSIGHT OR INDEPENDENT?

There are also other factors to consider. While independent touring may seem cheap initially, the extra costs you’ll incur along the way will inevitably make your holiday much more expensive. When you add hotels, tips, car rental and insurance, petrol, parking, rail tickets, taxis, all your meals and drinks, sightseeing, entertainment and entrance fees, the overall cost will escalate dramatically. When you take an Insight escorted holiday, everything featured in your itinerary is included. To appreciate the true value of this, simply take the cost of a tour and divide it by the number of days you will be on holiday. Insight will often work out to be less per day than just one night’s comparable accommodation booked by yourself.

Furthermore, if anything goes wrong on an independent holiday, you are literally on your own in a foreign land without real assistance. With Insight, you will be travelling with an expert Tour Director and fully supported by a company that you can depend on and trust.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Many of Insight’s guests have previously cruised the world’s oceans and enjoyed the experience of a holiday afloat. In some parts, it can be a good way to see remote coastlines or islands; Insight links land-touring with cruising in the Aegean, parts of Eastern Canada and Alaska’s Inside Passage for this very reason. But if you want to explore all that Europe has to offer, then a cruise may not be the answer as over 90% of Europe’s greatest art, architecture and culture is far from seaports or navigable rivers.

To help you decide whether an Insight escorted journey or a cruise is right for you when you visit Europe, we suggest asking yourself a very simple question: ‘Do I want to cruise the Mediterranean, or do I want to experience all that each country has to offer?’

On a cruise, sightseeing is always restricted to day trips to nearby sites or cities on time-limited shore excursions. In Rome for example, the return journey to and from the port at Civitavecchia takes some three hours, leaving just a few hours to sightsee before returning to the ship. On an Insight holiday, you’ll travel on leisurely itineraries far beyond the coastal attractions and truly get under the skin of each place. Your Tour Director will tailor your experience according to your interests and preferences and introduce you to new people and places. Leisurely, inclusive sightseeing, authentic local restaurants, multiple-night stays and premium hotels in desirable, central locations ensure you get the very best out of each destination, day and night.

What’s more, you’ll be travelling with a small group of no more than 40 like-minded guests so you’ll never have to wait hours for your baggage or stand in line for tenders and shore excursions.

If your only experience of coach travel has been on a shore excursion or school bus, think again! Your comfort is paramount, so we reconfigure Insight touring coach seating for just 40 guests – creating up to 100% more legroom than a typical coach.

Will my journey be relaxing? We ensure your comfort by seldom travelling longer than a couple of hours or so without a photo stop or visit. There’s also an on-board washroom on all our 40-seat touring coaches (except in Morocco). Seat rotation each day guarantees everyone gets to enjoy the great views, while leaving the driving to us saves you the hassle of planning routes and negotiating traffic. We’ll even take care of extra expenses like refuelling, paying tolls and parking charges. Which countries does Insight visit? Insight offers holidays to almost every country in geographical Europe, plus superb programmes in Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Israel and Morocco too. Then there is the USA, Canada, Hawaii and the Indian sub-continent, including India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka. Who travels with Insight? All our guests share a passion for travel, fun and discovery. Travellers may come solo, as couples, families or with friends and they join us from all over the English

speaking world. One thing is certain, all that have discerned to travel with Insight will get the best holiday and a more complete experience.Will I have time to explore on my own? At Insight, planning the perfect escorted holiday is our speciality. Of course we include the ‘must see sights’ and ‘truly local experiences’ and much more, but we also carefully balance our itineraries to ensure plenty of free time to do things your way, so you can really immerse yourself in each location. Will I be able to access Wi-Fi on my trip? The majority of Insight hotels have free Wi-Fi access in lobby or bedroom areas (see the Wi-Fi symbol on our hotel list overleaf). Wi-Fi is also generally available on touring coaches on most trips.

INSIGHT’S UNBEATABLE HOTEL LOCATIONS

When you are in Paris, for example, you won’t want to waste precious time travelling by coach to the centre from the suburbs, taking expensive taxi journeys or navigating complicated metro routes. With Insight, it’s different. You will stay in hotels chosen for their great locales and proximity to the key sights and bustling nightlife that you have come to experience.

In Venice, the story is the same. Insight puts you exactly where you want to be. We only use hotels on the historic islands, with easy access through the waterways and canals to famous St Mark’s Square and the

Unlike other operators, Insight’s hotels always put you at the heart of the action, with superior locations in the city centres and the best scenic areas on every tour.

ancient palaces of the Grand Canal. We never book properties in Mestre on the industrial mainland, or on outer islands like Lido.

Location is crucial in small towns and scenic areas too. Take Killarney, Insight stays a minimum of two nights in the centre of this picturesque town, bringing alive the Ireland you always imagined. Other operators often stay only one night, or just pass right through to their hotels in less attractive places like Tralee or Kenmare. The experience is very different.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT OUR PRICES INCLUDE The prices listed in our brochures cover everything included in the itinerary – hotels, all applicable sightseeing and admissions, transportation via motorcoach, cruise or rail, a professional Insight Tour Director, local experts and guides, meals and drinks and luggage handling.

When cruising, port taxes and tips to crew are also included.

HOW TO CUSTOMISE YOUR TRIP Insight does not nickel and dime on activities. We include all your must-do sightseeing. But we also know you want to choose what to do in your free time so our carefully designed optional experiences allow you to tailor your trip. It could be a seafood lunch on the island of Burano in Venice, the Moulin Rouge in Paris or dining in family homes in Sarajevo. Not only will we arrange the best available seats but we’ll also chauffeur you door-to-door, saving all the hassles and costs of doing it on your own. See our itinerary listings on our website for suggested optionals for your trip.

COMMON TERMS & DEFINITIONS FastTrack is our guest registration system you must complete prior to travelling. It gives us vital information about passports and so on, to meet regulations and smooth your journey, but it also provides us with information you care to share about your personal interests so your Tour Director can help you get more out of your holiday, tailoring activities to your preferences.Visit refers to a specific site; applicable fees are included.See or view means you walk or drive to or near the site during a guided tour to see it clearly, often with a brief stop and photo opportunity.

BROCHURE TERMINOLOGY EXPLAINEDSightseeing refers to seeing the city or site through the eyes of a local with one of our specialist guides, art experts, historians or artisan craftsmen.Orientation points out places of interest, allowing you to go and explore them on your own.Signature Experience includes valuable sightseeing or experiential and authentic activities that other operators will typically charge as extra.Journey Pace depicts the pace of your trip as a sliding scale on each itinerary page. Those at the more ‘Lively’ end of the scale will enjoy optimised destinations, giving maximum geographical coverage in a shorter space of time.
