Greg 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 more

This 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 more
