- LLLee· August 22nd, 2024This is a fabulous tour. Be prepared to be tired and happy all at the same time. The bus travel is long and gives you a great chance to see the local houses, the people and the countryside. Not a trip for the unfit or less mobile person but a surprise every day for all.Show more

Chuck· May 7th, 2024We have previously travelled with Gate 1 Small Group tours with great success. Our travel agent recommended Insight Vacations for our Scandinavia vacation. We liked their itinerary and booked their small group tour six months in advance. Two months before the trip our tour was cancelled "due to operational reasons and lack of participation". We requested but were refused compensation for costs incurred related to our unrecoverable travel and insurance expenses for this cancellation. They said, "read our fine print, we do not have to compensate you." DO NOT TRUST Insight Vacations. Never again. Go with Gate 1.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Trip date: August 2019 - JJennieWells· August 6th, 2019The whole tour was amazing. i didn't realise what there was in the 3 countries we visited. The scenery was out if this world. Gregs knowledge of the area was very good and he had some good ideas for place to go on our free time. Zultan the driver was so good (i'm a driver myself) at negotiating the twist and turns of the roads. Not easy with a bus!!! Goerge our relief driver was also very good. This is the best tour I have been one (my 1st insight tour) I have been with 2 other companies in the past and this tour , driver and tour leader were out front by a very long margin.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewWe are extremely pleased to learn that your time in Scandinavia with Insight Vacations was a complete success and that the efforts put in by our staff made your time on the road insightful and entertaining.

Asked on April 4th, 2024I am looking into joining your July 25 departure as a solo female traveler, with a single supplement option. I wanted to know if this is a guarantee departure?
