Bellaghy based tour operator InSite Tours Ireland has scooped two top awards in the 2025 Best of British Getaways, a UK wide initiative that awards excellence in the travel industry.
InSite Tours was successful in two award categories, recognising their unique contribution to the inbound travel industry in Northern Ireland, namely Most Trusted Bespoke Northern Ireland Tour Operator 2025 and Immersive Travel Excellence Award 2025 - Northern Ireland.

2025’s instalment sees the fourth year of celebrating the excellence of British and Northern Ireland  getaways and tours delivered by a plethora of enterprises across the UK.

Ensuring that your staycation, holiday, and escape from the hustle and bustle, or – in the opposite direction – deep dive into vibrant city visits, is the perfect measure of your wishes and requirements, these award-winning businesses and teams continue to shape their industries.

SME News is delighted to celebrate these awards, especially as the travel and tourism industry in the UK continues to evolve. People’s needs change and we’re always looking for something unique, and that’s exactly where the esteemed awardees come in.

Kaven Cooper, Awards Coordinator of the 2025 Best of British Getaways awards programme, shared: “It’s an honour to recognise and reward the dedication of such outstanding businesses and their teams, and I sincerely wish you all the best for the future to come. Congratulations again!”

SME News prides itself on the validity of its awards and winners. The awards are given solely on merit and are awarded to commend those most deserving for their ingenuity and hard work, distinguishing them from their competitors and proving them worthy of recognition.

InSite Tours Ireland's business owner Fergal Kearney adds: "Once again my small rural tourism enterprise has been recognised as a key player in the development of Northern Ireland as a top destination for global travellers. My business focus is on providing unique, authentic private journeys across Ireland and I am delighted that this has been recognised once again in these prestigious awards. From immersive coastal and mountain journeys to intimate experiences through our very own Seamus Heaney's home ground, I will continue to offer world class memories for discerning international travellers."
