  Tour was highly organized, however, a bit fast paced for us. Up everyday at 5am, hours on the bus.

  Thank you for taking the time to share your recent trip experience with us. We genuinely empathise with your feelings; while our itineraries are crafted to highlight remarkable attractions, we understand that this can lead to longer travel times and early mornings, which can be pretty tiring. We believe vacations should be a chance to unwind and recharge. Please know that our operations team is committed to reviewing the pace of the tour. To enhance your experience, we will consider offering more free time at key sites listed in the itinerary. We truly appreciate your feedback and are grateful for your insights.

  The 40 seat luxury coach broke down at the end of day 1 of our 9 day Insight Vacations Wonders of the American West coach tour in May. It was replaced for the rest of our tour by a 56 seater coach with significantly less legroom, and seatbelts that didn’t have the side adjuster that enables you to stop the belt rubbing into your neck if you’re a certain body shape. For us, the reason for choosing Insight was their luxury coach, so every day on the 56 seater was a reminder that (to use a flying analogy) we had paid for business class and were getting economy class. We had booked through a travel agent because we’d read the online reviews warning of Insight’s poor communication. The travel agent Freedom Destinations, who supported us, put forward our complaint to Insight. Insight sympathised but cited their terms and conditions that don’t require them to replace the luxury coach with one of the same quality. To an extent I understand that they need to cover themselves for an instance where a luxury replacement isn’t available on the day of the breakdown, but not to provide one at any stage of the remainder of our tour feels like either poor contingency planning or cost-saving. Insight refused our request for a cash payment as compensation. Instead they offered a discount voucher for use on a future trip. We declined the voucher as we do not believe it to be fair to only offer compensation that is dependent upon customers re-using a service, and our faith in their organisation and their coach suppliers Holiday Motor Coach has been broken. Such a shame, because the sights on the trip were wonderful, as were the people we travelled with. 1 star to highlight the risks associated with a breakdown to other potential customers for whom the luxury coach is important.Show more

  Overall it was a good experience. Excellent tour director and driver. The food was inconsistent as to quality and service. The lodgings were fine for the type of trip. Too much time was spent at Monument Valley/Mystery valley and not enough time at Grand Canyon.Show more

  Appreciated the tour director and driver . Schedule was good as well as accommodations. I especially liked that we were able to attend dinner and program by native Navajos and that we got to talk with them. It would have been great to have even more time that night. Would also like to have had more time at one stop where the Navajos were set up to sell items they had made. Overall it was a great tour.Show more

  We had a wonderful time. Don't expect five star hotels as this was, for the most part, in the accommodations in the National Parks. Richard Nieto, our driver was great! The tour was well planned out and made the maximum use of the time. Beautiful scenery. I would recommend this to anyone wishing a rustic experience.Show more
