Insight Guides Tailor-made trips reviews

“We a great experience with our trip to Kyrgyzstan & Uzbekistan. We had a series of very knowledgeable local guides and friendly drivers who helped bring the different locations to life and travel safely. To get the most out of a trip, you do need to get time to yourselves to make the most of locations & not to rush; also to build in contingency time, in case circumstances dictate change. This is where the planning process, and creation of custom itineraries are extremely helpful & valuable.”

“Deni is an expert at helping to plan an exciting and memorable trip. He is exceptionally knowledgable about the area - Indonesia, and provided varied excursion and lodging options to me. Highly recommend!”

“We absolutely loved the itinerary Habiba put together for our Egypt trip! She was always so kind and quick to answer any questions we had. She even checked in on us during our vacation. I’d definitely book another adventure with Insight Guides.”

“Insight Guides facilitated our holiday planning well. We would recommend using it if you're low on time for planning details and want experts who know what they are doing. It's not the cheapest way to do it, but it was very very easy.”

“Our recent trip to Morocco was absolutely wonderful, and working with Mohammed to plan it made the experience even better. My husband and I usually plan most of our own travel, but for certain destinations - such as India, Japan, and now Morocco—we prefer to working with local experts to help us customizie our itinerary exactly the way we want it. We chose Mohammed because his proposal stood out. Although his quote was slightly higher than the others we received, it was far more detailed and included thoughtful hotel recommendations. His customer service was exceptional from the very beginning. Our itinerary included: 2 nights in Marrakesh, 1 night in the Atlas Mountains, 1 night in the Sahara Desert, 2 nights in Fez, 1 night in Chefchaouen, 1 night in Casablanca and 1 final night in Marrakesh before flying home Marrakesh was lively and fast paced, full of energy and bustling souks (watch out for the motor bikes). The Atlas Mountains were calm and scenic, offering a peaceful break from the cities. The Sahara Desert was completely unique, especially riding camels across the dunes and staying in a luxury desert camp. Fez felt the most historic and intimate, with its ancient medina, deep traditions, and smaller, narrow alleys that made getting lost in one of its 9,000 passages a memorable experience. Chefchaouen was the most charming and visually striking with its blue washed streets set along a beautiful mountainside. Casablanca stood out as the most business like and somewhat gritty, offering a very different side of Morocco. We wanted to experience the diversity of Morocco rather than focus on just one or two cities, and having a private driver throughout the entire trip made this possible. It allowed us to travel comfortably, see the countryside, and truly appreciate the beauty of the country. Mohammed was a pleasure to work with - patient, responsive, and always willing to provide honest feedback. I asked many questions and requested numerous recommendations, and he consistently offered helpful guidance. I especially wanted to stay in riads for an authentic Moroccan experience, and his suggestions were excellent. One riad in Chefchaouen was fully booked, but he recommended an alternative with even better reviews, and it ended up being our favorite accommodation of the entire trip. Our favorite cities were Fez and Chefchaouen, and visiting the Sahara Desert is an absolute must. The camel ride and luxury desert camp were truly once in a lifetime experiences. We added a food tour in Fez at the last minute, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide was warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the experience so much fun. She led us through the medina, stopping at hidden spots and local favorites where we tried an amazing variety of food. It was a memorable, delicious, and truly magical way to experience Fez. We did encounter a small hiccup with our driver, but Mohammed addressed the issue immediately and always kept our best interests in mind. Another thing that made us feel at ease is Mohammed is available if you should ever need to reach him during your trip. If you’re planning a trip to Morocco, I highly recommend working with Mohammed. He is a true travel expert, a joy to collaborate with, and will help you create the perfect itinerary for your needs. Our time in Morocco was unforgettable - the people were welcoming, the history and culture were fascinating, and the country itself is stunning. It deserves a place on everyone’s bucket list”

“I just returned after 18 glorious days in Indonesia, organized by Insight Guides. The organization was excellent, their choices of guides and drivers was impeccable, and it all made for a very enjoyable trip. I would highly recommend them to any traveller.”
