- KCKatie· June 19th, 2024We have traveled with Insight twice. The first trip went so well that we booked with Insight again. And our first director set a high bar but we can honestly say Greg exceeded our expectations! We can go on about the usual stuff that guides do like keep the group on time and educate about the history of places. Sure Greg did all that. But he did extra things that were so thoughtful. He’d see us struggling to do a selfie and would jump in to take our pic. And although he told us 10 times to take out euros for Ireland when we came up short for lunch he exchanged currency with us so we could still eat. He offered to do this without hesitation! And another spectacular thing he did which our first director didn’t do that I think was unique to Greg was he curated a soundtrack for our trip and then shared the playlist after our trip so we can listen and reimagine our destinations fondly. I don’t think we’ll ever hear the song Here Comes the Sun without calming and thinking of our adventures. What a gift! Greg is the best!Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the exceptional itinerary.

Our Travel Director, Greg, was very professional, knowledgeable of the history, culture, food, music, and local 'celebrities'. Greg and our driver (Arthur - the best) worked together as a team, making our trip enjoyable, memorable, and fun. Always courteous, respectful, and conscientious of our time, safety, and well-being.
