In April, I was privileged to be amongst one of the first group of guests to visit our latest TreadRight heritage sustainability project, the Laboratorio Giuditta Brozzetti weaving workshop in Perugia, Italy.

This is a new, included experience of which guests travelling on Luxury Gold by Insight Vacations’ ‘Ultimate Italy’, or several of Insight’s fantastic Premium Italian tours visiting Perugia can now witness firsthand.

I had the great fortune of witnessing one of the most time honored traditions in the world when I traveled with Insight Vacations to London.

For over seven hundred years The Ceremony of the Keys has taken place every evening at 9:52 pm at The Tower of London and involved the locking of the gates to the Tower.  This Ceremony is limited to only a small group of guests and is sold out on average nine to ten months in advance.  Lucky for us however, Insight Vacations includes this event on their Luxurious London and Paris itinerary as part of their Luxury Gold collection.

24 years after the late Princess Diana made the same visit, their Royal Highnesses Prince William and his wife Catherine have made their mark on India, traveling through the cities of Mumbai, Delhi and Agra, with a scheduled excursion to the world famous Taj Mahal on April 16^th.

When Diana visited the sacred mausoleum in 1992 she described the experience as being “fascinating” and “very healing”, so it is little wonder that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have included this landmark in their tour of the beautiful country.
