What people love about England and Scotland Tours for Seniors
- Best of Scotland (Summer)
We had a wonderful time on tour!!! Sarah Rose was an awesome guide and our bus driver Allen was the Best!!!! Both of them were right there to take care if any problems arose and took care of it immediately. Our flight there was so delayed that we missed the first and part of day two of our tour. When we reached Edinburgh airport I called Sarah and she had an Uber there to pick us up and take us to a hotel in the blink of an eye!!! We would definitely take another tour with you in the future! And would love it if Sarah was our guide again
- Amazing Britain (10 Days)
We went on the England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales 18 nights tour in 2014, absolutely awesome. Covered so much, but very informative at the same time. We went in September and the weather was perfect! Recommend to everyone interested in getting a taste of UK!
- Country Roads of Scotland (Classic)
Scotland is a beautiful country to tour but I have to say Insight Vacations really made the trip. Incredibly helpful and knowledgable Tour Director. I'm not sure I would've enjoyed the trip as much if I'd tried to plan it myself. I would never have found half the places we visited nor learned as much.
