    Greg is an excellent Tour Director. He was well organised and kept us well informed. He had interesting and amusing stories and anecdotes relevant to the tour and never boring. He followed up on things on our behalf and kept a sun above our heads for 9 days in the UK!

    Our entire family had such a wonderful time on this tour with Greg! Not only was Greg on top of each detail of the trip and excursions, but he brings a wealth of knowledge and history to each destination and the whole experience. Greg related beautifully to everyone in our group. He is a fantastic guide with a wonderful disposition and upbeat demeanor. Our family would quickly say YES to touring with him in the future. I highly recommend Greg as a director, just don't take our spot on the next tour!

    We booked the Best of Britain insight vacation. Having just arrived in London, we are less than impressed with the tour director at the Grosvenor Victoria hotel. In addition the hotel is old, needs repair and is certainly less than we expected. Not even a hair dryer in the room. So far, the trip has little to recommend it.
