This is a great way to see lots of Europe in 26 days. So much to see but did seem rushed. We had the best ever Tour Director, the coach was first class with so much room, accommodation was excellent. Lots of travelling but totally worth it.
Julie G. | Traveled in June
Well balanced, just so interesting!!! Tour director Lisa was passionate and shared so much with us. Driver Alexis was helpful and calm, the local experts were excellent. So much history in such a beautiful country!
Karen B. | Traveled in June
Trip was full of beautiful scenery and unforgettable experiences. Hotels were very welcoming/comfortable/centrally located. Itinerary allowed for some time to explore on our own. Tour director was very knowledgeable. Switzerland is a bucket list destination and this tour didn’t disappoint.
Lois M. | Traveled in June
I had been on Collette tours before this one and they were great, so I expected the same however this one was more than I expected. Since touring the Isles of Cape Cod I thought this would be like that only in Canada. It was so much more to see and learn - especially that the tour is in the Atlantic Standard time zone and there is also a Newfoundland time zone. Truly lives up to the Coastal Wonders name.

Great itinerary and good attention to detail. All the reservations were made ahead to time to make it a seamless trip. The tour director was fantastic, he we helpful and had great information sessions on our drives. He paid attention to all the details and we were always attended to and felt like we were honored guests. The hotels were good and the bus driver was terrific and very safe. The bus was clean and in great shape. I would highly recommend Insight Tours.

Lots of walking on uneven pavement especially at the ruin sites. Must be mobile and steady on elevated grades. Need good walking shoes. Hats and suntan lotion needed with the intense sun. A long bus ride from Athens to Thessaloniki, but stops made along the way at the battle site of Thermopylee & Ancient Dion. Lots of history and ancient sites on this tour.
