Tour Italy in 2 Weeks with Insight Vacations
Tour Italy in 2 Weeks with Insight Vacations highlights the very best parts of this European destination showcasing what it’s really like during 16 unforgettable days on tour. Watch as we follow our Insight Vacations travellers as they venture across the Italian countryside exploring ancient ruins or spending time with local artisans and sampling world-class cuisine. These are just a few of the many authentic, local encounters that can be experienced during this one-of-a-kind tour.
The tour starts in the country’s historic capital city, Rome, where travellers are treated to an exclusive, VIP visit to Vatican City. Next, they make their way to the ancient Roman city of Pompeii to see the vast archaeological site up close, exploring the grounds for a couple hours and then carrying on to Sorrento for the evening. See the corners of Capri through the eyes of our travellers on day 4 before they move on to the stunning Amalfi Coast to continue the adventure.
Orvieto is a must-see destination in Italy and of course, this small but impressive town features as a highlight on the itinerary where the tour group explores the town’s local markets and ristorantes at their own pace. Travellers then carry on to Assisi and Perugia where they are able to marvel at architectural masterpieces including the Basilica of Saint Francis and the Church of San’t Angelo. As the days go on, travellers will also spend time exploring the highlights of Tuscany with stops in Siena and San Gimignano before travelling to the picturesque city of Florence, Lucca and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cinque Terre.
Once day 13 arrives, travellers will be in Modena where they’ll enjoy sampling traditional, artisan-crafted balsamic vinegar and take a class to learn what makes this vinegar top-notch. They will continue to the town of Parma, famous for...you guessed it: Parmesan cheese! And finally, to top off this Italian immersion, the Insight Vacations tour group explores fair Verona to retrace the steps of Romeo and Juliet. As for the last stop of the tour, the journey wouldn't be complete without a visit to Venice where gondolas and great wine can be found at every turn.
Feeling inspired? Can you already taste the wine, pasta and gelato? Then it’s time to book your own getaway and tour Italy for yourself.
Buon viaggio!

THE JOURNEY
Early in 2004, an opportunity presented itself that would forever change the direction of my life and the culture of an entire community. I would sit at a bus stop day after day trying to catch an RTS bus to campus and this bus would pass me by with the words FULL BUS displayed across the top ultimately leading to the creation of New Scooters 4 Less in March of 2004. 13 years later (now as sole owner), New Scooters 4 Less (NS4L) is one of the largest scooter dealerships in the United States and continues to break it's own records and the sales records for some of the top scooter distributors in the country. NS4L has provided jobs to tons of amazing people, reached millions of dollars in revenue, sold thousands of scooters, and has serviced thousands more. Read More...

16 Things You Should Know About FlixBus in Europe
We're talking Flixbus in Europe! Flixbus = cheap bus in Europe. If you're looking to travel within Europe on a budget, we hope you'll watch our Flixbus tips.
This summer, we hopped on FlixBus 8 times during our European trip. Before we left, we had some questions. Could we upload videos on their free WiFi? Would we be able to bring our laptop backpacks on the bus or would it need to be stowed below? We wondered about lots of things but we couldn't find much information about the reality...just the official company website stuff.
Today, we cover 16 things we wish we knew about FlixBus in less than 10 minutes.
Have you taken FlixBus or another inexpensive option? We'd love to hear about it in the comments. Do you have questions we can answer? Ask away!
Know anyone who's heading to Europe and isn't a Rockefeller? Please share. Many thanks!
