I am looking for a luxury small group tour company for trips from the U.S. to Spain and Sicily. I have looked at Tauck's tours and they look great. They don't have openings dallas discount hotel on dates I am looking at. Does anyone have experience with Insight , Perillo or other companies. We have done mostly independent travel, dallas discount hotel but would like to try a small group tour that stays at luxury hotels. I read some of the threads for what I am looking for , but not getting to much information I need.
There are specialist offering luxury small group tours, dallas discount hotel but, as you've noticed, the dates are generally fixed, so you would have to adjust your travel dates to fit their schedule. The other option would be to work with a travel planner/agent specializing dallas discount hotel in luxury travel to set up your own custom tour to fit your dates and destinations. The cost of the tour will depend on your buget, and is not a fixed rate. Have you checked dallas discount hotel Maribel's Guides regarding travel planning?
For our trips to Italy (and Spain this year), we hire a "guide" who plans and arranges our entire trip and then accompanies us to do all of the translating, driving, etc. Since we always go with my in-laws, we essentially have a small group tour (only 5 of us - me, my husband, my in-laws and our guide) that is totally customized to our schedule and our interests. Depending dallas discount hotel on your budget I would highly recommend it - it makes for a truly wonderful experience.
Elderly friends o f my mom have used Tauck several times and found everything acceptable dallas discount hotel (still did many of their own meals but they are foodies). They did one Perillo tour with other family members and said it was definitely sub par - with hotels at the end of hell and gone and food barely dallas discount hotel edible. Have no info on Insight - but I would look at hotels/locations and ask very specific questions about meals.
Very typical - group of 50, hotels in far out locations, food barely edible and pace extremely rushed. If you're looking for a luxery small group tour I'd recommend finding a company that specializes in the area. The larger tour companies will generally have large groups and not geated to the luxery market.
You might also check into LINBLAD EXPEDITIONS and SMITHSONIAN JOURNEYS for higher end tours. Another company is GOHAGEN TOURS which cater to Ivy League alumni travel again out of my range but excellent, according to my cousin (retired MD) and his wife who told me about Linblad also.
