    Traveling with Greg was an unexpected delight! I had imagined a guide who would point things out and give some history or information. What I didn’t expect was a funny and vibrant young man who was willing to go the extra mile at any and every opportunity. From spurring us on to sing “Here Cones the Sun” every single morning as we drove off (and in our case in Ireland it actually worked!) to walking the full length of the bus to ask each of us if we had questions or thoughts, several times a day, to providing us with what he called “little flourishes”—a refreshing mint after we had been walking, or a sample of Butler’s chocolate or tastes of different local beverages— all of it thoughtful and enriching to the trip. His love of music kept us energized as he played songs in the bus to match different locales. He took requests! He gauged the overall feel of the group regularly, getting us off on the road earlier on some days, making sure we had some moments of relaxation to revive before the next stop, or adding in extra things along the way if he heard different members chatting about something. He was quite willing to take hold of someone’s cell phone and capture photos of them at key points. He was consistently upbeat even in some tough moments, like having to chase after a couple who were waylaid for 4 days from catching the tour through no fault of their own and who were terribly sad about it. Greg made sure to save as many events for them as he could and to enfold them into the group so they felt welcomed and supported as soon as they finally caught up with us. I feel that Greg was a fabulous person to travel with and cannot recommend him highly enough.

    Our Irish Elegance tour would not have been as magical without the guidance and imagination of our Travel Director, Greg Colgin. From greeting to good-bye, Greg shepherded us around Ireland with aplomb. He engaged us with his wit, wisdom and comprehensive knowledge of the country. Without exception, all of our needs were met and queries answered, making this tour a worry free trip. Greg’s choice of stops, pacing, hotels and sights enhanced our visit and encouraged instant camaraderie among the sojourners. In addition, the teamwork between Greg and Anthony, our excellent and fearless driver, made the coach a happy place in which we travelled across the country. It is our hope that Insight realizes what an asset Greg is and how much he projects a positive image for Insight.

    Our trip got cancelled due to COVID and they would not give us our money back. Our only option was to re-book a trip with them. We didn't want to re-book the Irish tour due to a group members health issues so we chose a smaller trip in the US which is less expensive. They won't give us the extra money back that is not being spent on this trip. Seems illegal to me.

    Really well designed tour with an excellent guide and local experts on scheduled tours and optional add-ons. This was our first trip to Ireland, and it was extremely comforting to leave the planning to someone else and just enjoy the ride.

    What a fantastic vacation! The tour itself was perfectly paced and the combination of little details such as the flourishes and time with local experts and the grand finale stay at Ashford Castle made this an unforgettable experience. Ann was an amazing tour director - organized, professional and always willing to go above and beyond - and our coach driver Michael was a pleasant, jovial fellow that exemplified perfectly the friendly spirit of the Irish people. Truly a wonderful experience!

    This was the trip of a lifetime for me. I have always dreamed of going to Ireland. It was everything I dreamed of and this tour and the experience prided by Insight, from the pace of the tour to the special flourishes and the local experts as well as the fabulous cuisine and breathtaking scenery made this a trip I will never forgot.
