Tour Operator

Insight Vacations (CA)

Part of The Travel Company (TTC) family of brands, Insight Vacations began operations in 1978 and is based in Cypress, CA. Journeys are featured to destinations, such as the U.S. and Canada, Europe, Latin America, North Africa, Asia, the UK and Ireland. The company offers are a variety of tours under the classifications of Regional Journeys, Country Roads, Discovery Journeys, Easy Pace trips, and Special Interest tours. Insight is the ideal name for the tour operator, as the journeys provided by Insight Vacations allow travelers to gain further insight into whatever destination they wish to explore. For example, Discovery Journeys are the ideal choice for first-time visitors to Europe. Itineraries include Dine-at-Home or Farm-to-Table experiences so travelers can learn more about how locals live and dine. Regional Journeys allow trip-goers to see a specific location in Europe that they have always wanted to see – Poland, Switzerland, Italy, etc. The carefully planned trips enable customers to immerse themselves in one specific region or country and to become acquainted with its culture, traditions, and people. For anyone seeking travel off the beaten track, Insight Vacations offers Country Roads – trips that lead travelers off the well-tread tourist trail to explore hidden gems where visitors can savor the local produce with Farm-to-Table dining. Some trips are offered under the Easy Pace travel style – the ideal trip choice for trip-goers who wish to slow their pace during their vacation. During these tours, vacationers stay at least 3 nights at each destination, giving them some additional time to explore a place and enjoy it. Regardless of the travel style, many of the vacations offered by Insight Vacations begin with Relaxed Starts – giving travelers time to sleep in a little, spend more time at breakfast, or explore an area on their own. The tour company prides itself on providing business class tours that features luxury coaches with 40 seats. While most coach touring operators provide vehicles with 53 seats, Insight Vacations has re-configured its motor coaches to hold up to 40 guests. This gives passengers extra leg room while traveling and offers them more space and privacy.

I would prefer that the excursions be included in the initial price . They were all good. And i would like to suggest that the boat trip to the blue grotto be included as well only 5 Euros and was really good.

Well organised. All needs met. Malta is an absolute must see. A couple of our restaurants left a lot to be desired. User friendly itinerary. Absolutely brilliant tour guide.

I would have thought that Insight would have greater awareness of what sights are included in their optionals - specifically the Gozo tour. I asked them in the leadup to the tour what sights were included on the Gozo tour (as I was comparing their Gozo tour with others available) & they were unable to let me know. I found this quite surprising as the Easy Pace Malta tour has been available for however many years & I would expect that they would be able to let people know what sights are included on an optional tour (I doubt the content has changed in recent years). I'd also expect the TD of a tour departure to know what is supposed to be included on a sightseeing tour - both included sightseeing and optional tours for that tour. However that didn't seem to be the case, at least for my tour (with some inclusions disappointingly left out). Forgot to mention earlier in review, but perhaps Mosta could be included in the trip to Mdina. There could have been more focus on Valletta itself on this tour as there’s many things to see. Instead, the included sightseeing is just a half day tour, included lunch was ok. I would suggest a full day sightseeing tour of Valletta with included lunch. The supposedly included lecture from a war historian did not happen on this included sightseeing tour of Valletta. We got taken around the war museum by a guide, who didn’t seem to use the Vox system as she couldn’t be heard unless you were near her. The Temples (Mnajdra & Hagar Qim) & Marsaxlokk optional was supposed to include Mnajdra Temples - but it was missed on our tour despite them being very close to Hagar Qim so that was very disappointing The hotel was nice & had great views over the harbour from the rooms. The local guide Gabriel was knowledgeable. Malta itself is well worth visiting, it’s just a matter of whether it’s worth doing this tour or travelling independently & organising your own sightseeing tours to different sights.

Excellent service. Our guide was always available. The choice of hotel was very good—the food in the restaurant was excellent for lunch and dinner. Breakfast (in a different area) could have been better. Location of the hotel was also excellent. Booking the tour was easy over the telephone, and if I had any questions prior to the tour, customer service was always helpful. Itinerary was very good. Didn’t like the war museum very much, though. Liked the flexibility to do our own thing on some days. Loved the tours of Mdina and Valletta. The hotel location was excellent! Five/six days was perfect for Malta.

The tour director, Anneliese, was quick to attend to my medical need. She was also able to procure a last minute ticket for one of the UNESCO heritage sites; way to go! The easy pace during the trip allowed me to discover other sights on my own. The number of tpirmates (13) also enabled me to have a chance to get to know them.

Insight Vacation is providing a memorable Luxurious Trip with all the personal touches what makes the traveller appreciated and noticed. InsightVacation is highly recommended for everyone who is looking for an unforgettable, personalised and well organised travel experience. The Waterfront Hotel is a very good base in Sliema, Malta. The capital, Valetta worth more time in the itenary for the group. It should be a whole day excursion on the list as there are so many things to see and discover in the old town and we spent only half day there as part of the inclusive program.
