A Brief History

 When it comes to travelling in style and comfort, look no further than Insight's premium touring Vacations!

Insight offers smaller group sizes, greater passenger comfort and up to 100% more legroom than a standard touring coach. Our guests stay in outstanding hotels, enjoy a variety of meals and each unique destination visited features a wealth of included sightseeing!  We also offer guaranteed departures on selected travel departures.

We believe the journey is just as important as the destination. Imagine gliding along the ancient canals of defying gravity on an exhilarating cable car ride to the top of a Swiss mountain peak or a journey onboard the legendary Rocky Mountaineer Train.

Whether you want to explore at a leisurely pace, experience as much as possible in a short amount of time, or get off the beaten track, Insight's complete range of tours means you are sure to find an itinerary that suits you.

New for 2006 are our European Easy Pace extra leisure itineraries. With a majority of three night stays in each city, included sightseeing, delicious meals and excursions, Easy Pace itineraries give you the freedom to explore in-depth at your leisure.

We invite you to experience the Insight difference.
