- FHFrancisco· June 7th, 2023Not given the VIP Luxury Gold package. Hotels and meals were not the Authentic Italian cuisine we were expecting. Advertised as providing guests with incredible once in a life time experience. We did not get what we paid for. We were grouped more than once with a much larger group. Dining and accommodations were crowed. This was our third trip with Insight and it will be our last.Show moreTrip date: May 2023
- Helen· May 25th, 2023The first hotel in Rome Romanico Palace Hotel was a dump, dirty and dingy. When arriving in Rome after a long plane ride, I would have expected a nicer hotel for the money we paid. Also, we paid a premium for a small group (20 people) but ended up with the larger group (60 people) on several occasions such as breakfast in two hotels that was chaos BTW and some tours. When we pay extra to be in a smaller group, I expect that this would be honoured by Insight. We were disappointed and didn’t get what we paid for.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback during your time in Italy.

- LLaura· October 26th, 2019The quality of the hotels could have been better. They were clean but very outdated. Especially for the price paid. Very poor quality city tours in each location with minimal information on things to do with our free time. Did not know about the optional excursions until a couple of weeks before the trip which were of course more money. Our travel agent never informed us of this. I believe that for the money paid it should have been a better quality tour.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewWe are certainly very pleased to read that your time in Italy was a memorable one.

Asked on June 22nd, 2025Is the best of Italy small group available in December 2025 for two adults. Do not want trafalgar not the same standard as insight
Insight VacationsOperator•Written June 2025Regrettably, there are no available departures for the small group option in December 2025. The closest departure that we have to your preferred date is November 13, 2025. The good news is that we do have December 2025 departures for the classic group option, which you may want to consider. These are scheduled for December 20 and December 27.
