Our Guide Allen was outstanding for help and knowledge of his lovely country. Our driver was so helpful and would go the extra kilometre for us. The wildlife was wonderful.
Jeremy | Traveled in May
Anna was amazing. Highly professional and really helpful and cheerful throughout. She made everything easy for us. It’s a really varied itinerary - the archaeological sites are amazing of course but there’s so much else to see as well.
Sandy | Traveled in May
It was a true tour through all the important Revolutionary Sites that enhanced the 250th Anniversary Trip greatly. To be in Lexington, Concord, Valley Forge, West Point besides the major seeing the 4 main cities, and to think of all that happened there was wonderful. I am so happy we were part of the tour and with excellent local guides too.. So happy that we extended by 2 days and we were able to visit Smithsonian Museums WOW!

This is an amazing group of places to visit! The history and the evolution of these places to what you experience today is really incredible. The Insight touch makes this a really special journey!
Niall | Traveled in May
Lenora ranks among the best guides I have ever come across. Informative, caring, organised, efficient and friendly - its hard to get all those qualities in one person. Her deep knowledge of the social and architectural history of each area was immense, as was her familiarity with restuarants, shops and places of interest. In short- she was brilliant and a tour leader to trust and listen to.
Kerry | Traveled in May
Great itinerary in a beautiful country. Our guide, Ruslan, was friendly informative and entertaining. The recommendations for places to eat and visit were all good value. This was my first time on a guided tour and I loved having logistics and luggage managed. The people in the group were all very different and all very lovely! There was a good balance of free and directed time. Standards of accommodation and transport were great. Will definitely book another trip!
