Monte Carlo, Tuscan and Como, do it in style with insight Vacations

Insight has announced a new tour for 2006, Easy Pace Monte Carlo, Tuscany and Como. Highlighting the stunning beauty of the French Riviera, seaside Monte Carlo, Florence and the famous Italian Tuscan region before heading north to the spectacular Lakes District and trendy Como this itinerary has equal appeal for those aware of the benefits of escorted touring and independent travellers.

Enjoy three nights in each city centre allowing plenty of time to explore independently and really absorb the culture of each region staying in desirable accommodation including the modern Meridien Beach Plaza in Monte Carlo and the beautiful Grand Hotel Tettuccio in Montecatini and the Palace Hotel in lakeside Como.

Insight’s 2006 program has been carefully designed to present a return to the golden age of touring with added premium level inclusions and benefits, so it’s like travelling business class around Europe.
