- AAnnShaw· June 30th, 2022Greg was an excellent Tour Director he went over & beyond to make our trip enjoyable & memorable I can’t recommend him enoughShow moreTrip date: June 2022
- JJillForsythe· July 3rd, 2019Greg made the trip! Friendly, fun, helpful and took the time to connect to each one of us. We had a great time and enjoyed every city and option we had. More local food (salmon, lamb, sticky toffee pudding?) would have been nice and a room with a nice view at least once would have been magnificent. We had perfect weather - no rain! And, we are sure it was that way because our trip was blessed. It was great - because Greg was great!Show moreTrip date: June 2019
- SSuzanneCoventon· June 28th, 2019The itinerary attracted me to this tour. The pace was a little fast at times, but we clocked up a lot of kilometres and saw some amazing sights with some lovely people. Greg (our tour director) and Stephen (our coach driver) worked tirelessly to personalise the tour experience for all of the travellers.Show moreTrip date: June 2019
- KKayrenHill· June 27th, 2019This was my first tour with Insight and travelling alone so I was understandably anxious prior to the tour starting. Within seconds of meeting the Travel Director Greg Colgin all anxieties left! His sense of humour, approachable personality, exceptional knowledge of each destination and random places on the way was amazing and he delivered all the historical information in an interesting and engaging way (history was not my best subject at school!) From starting each morning on the bus with the Beatles song "Here Comes The Sun" (which totally worked as there was only one day out of 21 that I got caught in the rain!) to giving us clear information about meet up times, locations, free time, wake up times etc., I didn't have to worry about anything. When a problem did arise he was attentive and sincere with hus responses and moved 'heaven and earth' to rectify the situation - thank you Greg for a fantastic vacation - you made a conesive team out of 32 strangers!Show moreTrip date: June 2019
- RRichardBrooks· June 25th, 2019Greg was wonderful to travel with. He was well versed in our destinations, knew the history and the back stories and was able to answer all of our questions. He also has a good sense of humor.Show moreTrip date: June 2019
- FFrankGordonMitchell· June 25th, 2019This is the second tour I've taken with Insight and it was a very good time. Greg works very hard at making the experience "one to remember" and in this case he did just that. He constantly seeks out any potential problems and seems always to be just a step, or two, ahead of the problem. He is very good at building comradery with the group and made it a great experience.Show moreTrip date: June 2019
- SShelleyGreen· June 25th, 2019Greg Colgin made the trip. He is very organized and always two steps ahead of what’s happening next. A good tour director makes a great holiday, a fantastic tour director makes it a trip of a life time. This was Greg Colgin. Thanks for the wonderful experience and “see you later”.
