Insight Vacations Launches 2011 Select Choices Collection
Insight Vacations launched its 2011 Select Choices collection, including 12 new European city breaks with all the benefits of independent travel but not the hassles. The new Select Choices program, which is featured in Insight’s 2011 Premium Europe and Britain program, and as a standalone brochure, consists of 18 flexible journeys in a range of destinations.
The 2011 Select Choices program has almost doubled since its last year. This year Insight added Edinburgh, Dublin, Florence, Venice, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Istanbul, Athens and the Greek Islands to its flexible journeys to complement the existing options of London, Paris, Rome, Florence and Venice.
On Insight’s Select Choices program, flexibility is the key component. An orientation tour is included in each city, giving guests a starting point to begin their own personal exploration, taking in sights and highlights that match their interests. To ensure that the experience is completely hassle-free, Insight’s expert tour directors are on hand acting as a personal concierge, providing well-informed yet unobtrusive assistance in each destination.
The tour directors will also offer guests a range of half- or full-day excursions that are more tailored to individual tastes such as a guided tour of the Louvre in Paris, a visit to the Coliseum and Catacombs in Rome or a cruise along the Bosphorus in Istanbul.
The programs are designed for individuals who prefer a more independent style of travel, but want to take advantage of the support of a tour infrastructure. Every itinerary includes transport in style and comfort, whether by luxury coaches limited to just 40 seats providing extra legroom, Eurostar, Express Rail, ferries or local flights; accommodation in quality hotels in great central locations; highlight stops; buffet breakfasts daily; expert commentary from your “personal concierge”; and more.
