Final thoughts

We had a wonderful trip and met a lot of very nice people.

We were on the highlights of Europe tour with Insite Vacations. We booked it through AAA.

1. Our accommodations were all clean and large. There were a few glitches but all were resolved efficiently. Who knew that you had to put your room key in a slot in the wall to get power in your room?
2. Our included dinners were yummy and there was wine or beer included. We tried all local beers and wines. Most were excellent.
3. As you have read, we got to see all the main attractions in each city, and we never had to stand in a line. The tour had arranged express "queues" for everything we did. We can't imagine what it would be like to try to plan all this on our own.
4. They offered optional tours (some that included dinner) in each city. We picked 9 out of the 15 that were offered. (i.e. the sound of music, the grand canal, dinner at a family Austrian chalet, the horse and buggy, Moulin Rouge, etc). They were affordable when considering what we got in return.
5. The coach had lots of legroom and was very clean. A cooler up front always had ice cold water which was nice.
6. We never touched our bags. They were delivered and picked up each day.
7. Our tour director and driver were amazing. I would ask for her again. (Betty Griffith)


All 4 of us gave excellent's on the survey and would travel with this company again. Betty told us on day 1 that we were on a tour, not a holiday and she kept us busy all day every day.

Things we will remember on our next trip
1. We needed all 3 converters to charge our electronics each night.
2. WiFi was available but the free options didn't have security to be able to post the blog or download pictures into the cloud. So we ended up buying wifi in most cities.
