Very attentive service from the coach driver and tour guide. We had some passengers that needed hospital services and it was all arranged by the tour guide. Very busy itinerary but we saw many things and places we would not have seen on our own. Very good hotels.

Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful and he made the entire trip what it was. I thought the trip's itinerary was exactly what was needed. The only thing I would suggest is maybe to have some more free time in some places like Torremolinos. Here it was such a beautiful town right on the Mediterranean Sea and we didn't get much time to enjoy it.

We’ve been on three of your trips and you are the best of the best. The itinerary was fabulous.

He was very concerned with our safety and making sure we knew where to meet up each time.

On this tour, the Insight team showed how successfully they work together. Having to find and replace a tour director on the spot was not an easy feat and they performed that beautifully. All of the personnel we encountered were wonderful. Except for the little glitch at the end of our tour, not being able to stay in a hotel accommodation at the same standard as all the rest we experienced, (due to the extenuating circumstances of the America's Cup and Cancer Convention both happening in Barcelona) was unfortunate. It still did not spoil a wonderful experience with Insight. This was truly a trip of a lifetime and we feel that we really did see and experience the best of Spain and Portugal. From the comfortable coach, beautiful lodgings and delicious food & wines to the extraordinary experiences & excursions, both included and optional, we were extremely happy and satisfied that we chose this tour. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Insight team scrambled successfully to keep our tour intact. We had 4 different tour directors who travelled long distances and gave up their days off to step in where needed, to keep us on track to our planned itinerary. Our appreciation goes for your diligence and caring to make our trip run smoothly and pleasurably. Thank you for making this one of our most memorable travel experiences.

We loved our fabulous tour director, he gave us his all. The group of 27 of us got along great and provided extra info regarding interesting extra things for us to do on our own when there were no group activities. Every hotel was in the city center except the one in Barcelona. We could walk to restaurants and shopping on our own using his directions and recommendations. Time on the beautiful brand new MB coach was very comfortable and the coach was immaculate. Our driver was so nice, drove carefully and got along great with While riding from place to place always shared so much of his great knowledge, showed videos and played his great playlist he gave to us on the last day. The best tour director anymore could ever have! We experienced excellent customer care throughout our entire experience with Insight Vacations. Wish we had known about this company and the great itineraries offered many trips ago. Perfect itinerary, loved everyday which was packed full of great tours, hotels and just the right amount of group dinners as well as plenty of unplanned time on our own to eat in local restaurants and shop near our hotels.

Everything was fantastic. We loved every single day, and the Optional Tours were well represented too. The local guides in each city were outstanding, and we learned so much. It was great to have "free time" to shop, have a coffee, etc. The hotels were great too. The itinerary was excellent, and gave us a good insight into the history and attractions of each city. There is so much to see and do, and we felt that this tour gave us the best of each location. The "local guides" were fantastic. Our Tour Director was top notch, as was our driver Kudos to both of them! They made each day special for all of us, and we had a fantastic time with our coach group.

We originally planned this trip in 2020, but the COVID pandemic necessitated cancellation. We are happy that Insight was willing to honor our deposit four years later when we could again take this trip. This was an outstanding tour and one of the very best we have ever taken (it was our ninth guided tour among three different companies. The individual stops were all very good to great, with plenty of historically important and/or very enjoyable sites of interest. Optional activities were all quite worthwhile. Our Tour Director was the best we have ever had on any trip, and was friendly, highly knowledgeable of the region and, most of all, very proactive in meeting the individual needs of tour travelers. Hotels, as a group, were top-notch and well-located. Restaurants for included dinners were all excellent. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a trip to Spain and Portugal.
