Understanding Escorted Tour Itineraries

Posted on Monday, October 31, 2011

Thinking about taking an escorted tour?  Here is a glossary of some common terms used in our itineraries:

Visit - Your coach will stop and you'll get to visit a specific site.
View - A brief stop and an opportunity to take photos.
See - Your Insight coach will drive by the site so that you can see it.
Sightseeing tour - A local city guide will accompany you on a tour of a city or site.
Orientation tour - Places of interest are pointed out, allowing you to go and explore them on your own.
'Why not see' or 'perhaps enjoy' - These phrases refer to optional excursions not included in the tour package, but are available for an additional fee.
Time to explore and discover - Free time on your own.
A day to relax - No planned activities; time for optional excursions or other independent activities.

Our tour specialists are always available to help you understand what is included on a tour vacation, so that you can plan how much money to budget on your European vacation.

Insight Egypt Tours 2011

Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011

As of today Insight Vacations is cancelling April departures to Egypt as the US State Department has not lifted their Travel Warning. Based on current events in Tunisia they have taken the decision to cancel the entire 2011 season.

For all clients booked to travel in April or on any Tunisia date they will offer to transfer your booking to a later date, transfer the booking to another destination or offer a full refund. 

Insight Tours is planning to operate Egypt tours in May, conditional on the lifting of the travel warning.
