NO FUEL OR CURRENCY SURCHARGES

In these difficult times of instability of prices, it is good to know that Insight has taken the bold step to guarantee no fuel or currency surcharges on all its coach tours (excluding government taxes). Once you have paid your deposit, you will be totally protected and can plan your vacation with this added peace of mind.

NB. This guarantee excludes government taxes, internal flights surcharges (e.g. Eastern Mediterranean products and pre-paid Abu Simbel excursions), cruise company surcharges (e.g. Aegean, River or North American cruises), and international airline fuel surcharges or fare increases ( affecting all international airlines). Surcharges within these exceptions are outside our control and may be applied, regardless of payment status, fully paid or not, at any time during the booking process (or may occasionally be required to be paid while on tour).

PREFERRED DEPARTURES - PD

At Insight, we are aware you need to plan your travel arrangements early to take advantage of our early payment discounts, utilise frequent flyer or benefit from airline early booking offers.

To assist you when booking ahead, we have designated a number of tours as ‘PD’ based on their reliable booking history. In 2008, the equivalent departure of these listed tours sold early, so Insight will operate them again in 2009 over any other departure. If the date of a PD tour does not fit with your travel plans, don’t worry; our capacity is adjusted each year to ensure that the vast majority of all departures operate as scheduled.

We anticipate strong demand for Insight’s unique touring benefits so a regularly updated list of additional PD departures will be featured on our website at: NB. Even if the departure of your choice is not yet designated as ‘PD’ we will not reschedule any tour within 50 days of its scheduled departure date between 01 May & 15 Oct (this is subject to change if market or other circumstances occur beyond our control).

Insight offers you Peace of Mind

For the latest details on all our vacations PLUS travel tips, specials and more, visit our Bulletin Board, which offers a travel forum where you can exchange tips and questions with past and future travellers.

SMALL GROUPS ADVANTAGE

Many tour operators imply ‘fewer passengers’ but don’t tell you that nothing has really changed. Their seating remains at 49 or 53. Insight premium tours carry an average of just 35 guests with touring coaches configured for a maximum of 40; creating less congestion when boarding and disembarking and up to twice as much legroom. It is like travelling Business Class.

CANCELLATION FEE WAIVER

In the event that one or more European/Mediterranean countries should not grant you a visa, we have devised a unique scheme to protect you against cancellation fees!
