      Our tour manager Benedikt was the perfect combination of knowledge and personality and made our time on the motor coach so enjoyable! The hotels, excursions and pacing were excellent. We enjoyed our free time and felt safe wandering Bern and Innsbruck. We also enjoyed meeting new friends at breakfast, the group lunches/dinners as well as evenings in the hotel lobbies/bars.

      The whole tour was terrific and the group was fun and friendly but having Jacopo Surico as our tour manager made the trip the most memorable. His knowledge of history, organizational skills, wit and humor were exceptional! Enjoyed all the fabulous places that we toured and all the recommended restaurants in our free time during the tour. The entire trip was quite memorable , conveniently laid out and guided throughout so as to make for a seamless experience.

      Tour Rating:

      Everything was great from start to finish. I seriously cannot find anything wrong with this tour. Our tour guide throughout and our individual tour guides were terrific. I think I got spoiled for any other Collette tour that I take. If I had one negative I would say that the Radisson red in Berlin was a very tiny hotel, but very nice. I thought the hotel in Budapest probably was the most rude staff and not very accommodating. But the hotel room was fine The side tours were great. The activities were great.

      From start to finish this was an amazing tour. Our Tour Manager and Driver were absolutely fantastic. The hotel in Loen was definitely a standout, and offered one of the best included breakfasts/dinners I have ever had on a tour. Pacing was fantastic and we never felt rushed nor did we feel there wasn't enough downtime. Our local guides in Oslo and Bergen were second to none!!!! I can't recommend this tour enough.

      Fantastic overall tour. Got to see a lot of the country and experience a lot of the culture. If this is your first time to Ireland I think this is the tour for you. Take the optional excursions to maximize the experience. Lots of great food, drink, and dance awaits! The Guinness and Irish coffee are delicious. You won’t get to see everything because the tour is packed with adventure but what you see you will remember. Northern Ireland is especially interesting for history buffs.

      The tour of Türkiye was an excellent tour all around. The itinerary from visiting the ancient ruins, the different cities, watching an ancient religious ritual such as the Whirling Dervishes were fabulous. Collette even immersed you in the food of the area. I absolutely loved having lunch at a traditional Turkish family farm. What a lovely experience. Of course, the most memorable is the hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia. Our tour guide Ersen was beyond excellent his knowledge and passion for his country overflow not only to me but for our group.

      Europe Travel FAQs

      For travel across most of Europe, Canadian citizens can visit the Schengen Area visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period, though the upcoming ETIAS system will soon require travellers to obtain authorization before arrival. However, travellers to the United Kingdom must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) prior to their trip. This digital permit is valid for two years and required for short stays up to six months. Always check current entry requirements for each country before you travel.

      Yes, Europe is generally a safe place for travellers. When you travel with a trusted tour operator like Collette, you benefit from our expert Tour Managers and 24/7 Emergency Response Team.

      Packing for Europe depends on the season and your itinerary, but a few essentials apply year-round. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring cobblestone streets and historic sites. Layered clothing helps you adapt to changing weather, including a light waterproof jacket. Don’t forget travel adapters for your electronics and a daypack for daily excursions. If you’re visiting multiple countries, pack versatile pieces to mix and match. Collette also provides more detailed packing lists tailored to each tour’s specific destinations and activities.

      Yes, credit cards are widely accepted throughout Europe, especially Visa and Mastercard. However, it’s a good idea to carry some local currency for small purchases, tips, and places that may not accept cards. Inform your bank about your travel plans to avoid any card issues while abroad.
