Please note that optional excursions featured below are based on the 2009 tour season and are listed for guidance and budget purposes only and are subject to change without notice.

OPTIONAL SIGHTSEEING & EXCURSIONS

With Insight, you will enjoy many of Europe's famous highlights as included features on your tour - at no extra cost. However, there are an exciting array of additional excursions which are made available to help turn an already outstanding experience into a trip of a lifetime. These are entirely optional and offered to you at competitive prices. They are all bookable through your Tour Director at the commencement of your tour as many of them are planned to coincide with the best highlights available at the time of your visit.

The following list is a general selection as it would be impossible to operate all excursions on any one tour. This selection will vary due to seasonal conditions and museum opening days and times. Your Tour Director will give you a receipt once you have paid for your excursions. Payment can be made in cash or by Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Please note that credit/debit card payments can only be processed in Euros however cash can be taken in most major currencies and your Tour Director will be able to give you specific details of relevant exchange rates on commencement of your tour.

HOW TO BUDGET FOR OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS:

The final list of optional excursions to be offered during your tour by your Tour Director will be based on the descriptions and pricing featured in this leaflet. To help your pre tour budgeting we suggest you allow approximately € 45 per person per day for optional excursions.
