    Reply from: Insight Vacations
    Thank you very much for choosing to travel with Insight Vacations we truly appreciate your interest in exploring Ireland with us. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the challenges you encountered during the booking process and the disappointment caused by the cancellation of your tour. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we regret that your experience did not meet expectations. It’s clear that you had taken thoughtful steps to prepare for your journey, including contacting hotels directly regarding your food allergies and adding extra nights to your stay. We understand how unsettling it must have been to learn that your tour was not confirmed, especially after receiving assurances during the initial booking. We sincerely apologise for any confusion and lack of clarity around the departure status this should have been communicated more transparently. We also regret that our follow-up communication regarding the cancellation did not reflect the level of care and attentiveness you deserve. We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive a message that felt impersonal, especially after your commitment to the tour and timely payment. That said, we’re truly pleased to hear that you were able to create your own itinerary and enjoy a wonderful 10-day journey through Ireland, complete with a private chauffeur and meaningful cultural experiences. It sounds like you crafted a truly memorable adventure, and we’re glad that your time in Ireland was ultimately rewarding. Your insights will be shared with our team to help us improve our communication and booking processes. We hope that, despite this experience, you might consider travelling with us again in the future and we’d be honoured to restore your confidence in Insight Vacations.
