Travel Director was incredibly knowledgeable about a
Wide range of subjects relating to Ireland

Sites to visit when weather interfered with scheduled activities for example trip to Aran Islands was cancelled because of weather
didn’t overwhelm us with too much
Information at once, Instead she would give us some and tell us she would return to subject the next day and she would!!
I was victim of a pickpocket in Dublin, first day of trip and lost everything including passport
accompanied me to police station. Made police report. Helped me cancel credit cards. Get passport photos and offered a lot of emotional support
My travel partner and I are very grateful
Bus driver was wonderful too as were other tour participants
We were able to continue with the tour without difficulty
Pace of trip was a little hurried for us
We like to read plaques
I think Insight and travel industry should work with Dublin police to stop petty crime
Pickpocket thief is apparently well known to law enforcement
Posted warnings about pickpockets in high risk areas might help
The trauma, inconvenience and expense of this event have been significant.
As I write this I am in Seattle awaiting a regular passport….a six hour process and a 5 hour drive from my home in Portland.
It was a great experience. I would’ve never seen any of the sites on my own that we saw on the bus if we go again, I know the sites I want to spend more time.
