  • G

    Gail

    Asked on June 24th, 2022

    My sister and I are looking into taking a trip to Ireland, Britain, and Scotland. None of these countries require vaccinations or covid testing. Why does your website say you are requiring it?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten June 2022

      It is our company policy to travel in 2022 to be vaccinated as many destinations still require it for entry and for the safety of all guests.

    • G

      Gail

      TravelerWritten June 2022

      We are not planning to travel until 2023. Given that these 3 countries have no current requirements for vaccinations, testing, or quarantines please notify me when you change your policy.

    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten June 2022

      We understand and hope you will consider traveling with us at that time! Hopefully we will have an update to our policy as we get closer to the new year.
