- CCynthiaMarr· July 17th, 2022Our 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!Show moreTrip date: July 2022

- GG.D.· September 25th, 2017We 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.Show moreTrip date: September 2017

Asked on May 15th, 2025Can I skip the London stay part?
- Insight VacationsOperator•Written May 2025
Yes, you can skip the London stay. However, the trip rate remains the same since this is a package tour, and you will need to arrange your own transportation to the next destination in York. Alternatively, you can join the group in London, as the trip will depart from the hotel at approximately 07:30 AM to head to Stratford.

Asked on July 19th, 2024What is the stress level on this tour. Ex: level 1, easy with little walking or 3 with fair amount of walking. Any details is appreciated.
- Insight VacationsOperator•Written July 2024
This trip has a Balanced level of activity, which typically involves 1-3 miles (1.6-4.8 km) of walking daily. You may encounter uneven surfaces such as cobblestones, hills, and stairs. The trip includes a mixture of active and passive sightseeing, requires the ability to get on and off the coach without assistance, and offers a balance of relaxed starts and some evening activities. If you're traveling with a walking cane, we suggest having a companion who can assist you on uneven surfaces.
