Wasn’t happy that much.
It’s def not worth what we have paid. Generally insight vacations handle so well.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for travelling with Luxury Gold. We are genuinely sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly given your previous positive experiences with Insight Vacations.
We regret that you felt the tour did not offer the level of value or luxury you anticipated. While the itinerary was designed to provide a balanced pace, we understand your disappointment that certain days, including time in Wellington and the final day, did not feel as enriching as expected. Your comments regarding having to arrange activities independently, as well as your observations about the hotels, are noted with concern.
We are also sorry to hear that visits such as Waitomo Caves and Rotorua did not resonate with you. We appreciate your suggestions regarding alternative experiences, including geothermal attractions or the Hobbiton set, and we understand how important it is that destinations feel meaningful, particularly on a premium tour.
Please be assured that your feedback is extremely valuable and will be shared with the relevant teams for review. Insights such as yours help us to assess our itineraries and inclusions more carefully and ensure they align with the expectations associated with a luxury travel experience.
Once again, thank you for travelling with us and for being open about your experience. We truly regret your disappointment and appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention.
Great tour director and knowledgeable driver made the most of an agenda they did not create. They really looked after us very well.

We are delighted to hear your kind words regarding the Travel Concierge and Coach Driver. It is wonderful to know that their knowledge, professionalism and care helped enhance your experience, and we will be sure to pass on your appreciation to them.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that your Travel Concierge made such a positive impression, providing exceptional service and enthusiasm throughout your journey. Your five-star rating for the Travel Concierge is truly appreciated.
We are, however, sorry to learn of the challenges you faced as vegetarians, particularly at breakfast. Your suggestions for more substantial cooked vegetarian options are very helpful, and we will pass them along to our hotel partners, especially those in the Lux Gold category. We recognise that offering only salads does not meet the expectations of our vegetarian guests, and we appreciate you highlighting this area for improvement.
We also acknowledge your concerns about the group size and the balance of the itinerary. We regret that adding extra guests affected the group dynamic and that the focus on cultural experiences may have limited your opportunity to visit other sites of interest. Your comments will be shared with our planning team to help us enhance future tours.
Thank you again for your valuable insights. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back and provide an even better experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your recent Insight trip did not meet your expectations, especially given your previous experiences with us.
We regret that the included meals were disappointing and that the service was inconsistent. Your comments about the long wait, rushed lunch, and the wine selection have been noted and will be addressed with our Operations Department. We also apologise for the confusion regarding meeting times and for any inconvenience caused by the guide’s focus on the other group.
We are pleased, however, that you found the airport transfer service and the hotels to be of a high standard, despite the disruption from renovations at the final hotel. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope you will consider travelling with us again in future so we can provide you with the experience you expect and deserve.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're delighted to hear that the Travel Director provided excellent service and that his attentiveness and knowledge helped make your trip enjoyable. We'll ensure your kind words are passed on to him.
We appreciate your comments regarding the voltage and plug configuration in Peru. You're absolutely right that the similarity to American-style connectors can be confusing, and using 220-volt outlets with certain appliances may cause damage. We'll review how we communicate this information in our pre-departure materials and on-tour briefings to ensure guests are fully aware and can plan accordingly.
Thank you again for travelling with us and for highlighting both the positives and areas where we can improve. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable journey.
