We loved everything about our trip. The land excursions were thorough and informative. Our local guides were knowledgeable and engaging. Our Tour Director, Mirna, was beyond compare in her interpersonal skills, experience, knowledge, etc.. Our ship, the MS Desire was beautifully appointed and the crew was attentive to every detail. The meals were a nice introduction to Croatian cuisine and well prepared. Our small group was like family at the end of the trip!

Our tour manager JP Ruze was the best. He was like family to us. My wife had our passport stolen. He was with us everyday. Guiding us so we could stay with the tour and receive our emergency passports. If you had all JP Ruze as a your Tour manager. Every tour would be sold out. He is like family to us and miss him. Please provide him with everything he needs and Collette would have many return guests. Thank You Chris Hickok

The tour was fabulous. We saw so many amazing places. Antonio, the Tour Director, went above and beyond all of our expectations. With a small group of 18, each experience was even more meaningful. If I had to pick one best day, it would be the beauty and peacefulness of Siena. The hotels were fabulous, especially the last three nights in the Villa.

Everything about it was amazing. And all the hotels we stayed at were 5 star and so very nice especially the London hotel that was a suite. The London tour guide we had was exceptional and she showed us a lot in such a short time. And the Coach driver was a gem, and went out of his way to accommodate us each day. Our trip guide was a very nice lady but sometimes she forgot that there were many over 70 year old people trying to keep up with her as she walked ahead of us. But usually she did her best. Collette did a superb job and we were all grateful for that. It was a memorable trip and I thank Collette for that.

Wonderful, interesting sites to see. Learned a lot about Italy that we never knew. Stayed at great hotels, including a cave and a dome hut in a cute little village. Perfect guide who was very knowledgeable about his country and the places we visited. Loved all the small towns and the historical sites and information.

Our trip was incredible from start to finish. Definitely more then we ever imagined!! We started with the walking tours and learned such about the area. Our day trips were amazing, the Elkhorn and yodeling was so fun, the beautiful architecture, churches, Mansions and Castle, the Monastery/Brewery, the snow capped Swiss Alps, the food, our extra excursions to Mount Pilatus and Seefeld were fantastic!! We so enjoyed the folklore show, Wow, it was spectacular. We definitely need to acknowledge our tour guide Javier was so amazing, always there to help if needed and so knowledgeable, as well as Patty and Michael❤️ We did so much in the time we were there and yet still had time to ourselves. It was a very unforgettable trip and a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary which gave us so many memories that we will cherish forever❤️

The tour was everything my wife and I hoped it would be. The diversity of the areas we saw gave us a great overall view of France. The small towns of the countryside to the city of Paris, what a great experience. My favorite was touring the D-Day areas. It is so moving to know what happened there, and the courage shown by so many. They truly earned the name, "The Greatest Generation", they saved the world.

My wife and I do a lot of traveling. We’ve done riverboats and Cruises however I’ve never experienced anything like the trip Collette plan for us. It was phenomenal. Very good procedure and Support prior to leaving. Michaela, our tour manager did an awesome job coordinating and keeping us on a tight schedule that pushed this old couple to the max, but it was worth every minute. Bus driver to excursions blew away even the best luxury cruise lines.. even went out of their way to take a little bump out of the road for us once we got home. Wonderful experience and we will book with them again.

We enjoyed all the stops; Elvas the least. The high energy flamenco experience was terrific. The restaurant for the welcome dinner was a bit disappointing—all others were great! La Sagrada Familia and Alhambra were highlights. Valencia was a great surprise. Really enjoyed the paella experience. I have 1,026 photos of wonderful places and memories.

Soo many great tours! The gondola ride and tour of Murano glass what a nice day. I loved the vineyard with pasta making and dining. Every meal was accompanied by wine. I nice thing was that you could have as much or as little as you wanted. The villa tour was wonderful. I didn't realize that our tour included breastfast every morning. It had a variety of food, something for everyone. Our tour guide Cinzia was the best.

Yvonne Quinn was excellent! Very organized, personable, and very knowledgeable. Her personality won us over and considered her a good friend. She developed a tour schedule that was very scenic and informative, as well as well paced. Jimmy, from Galvins, was amazing! His driving skills were incredible! He was also very friendly and personable. Overall the tour was great. The highlight for me was the Aran island tour.

The tour was one of the better tours I have done over the years. The tour director and bus driver put the tour over the top. I especially liked visiting Stresa, Cinque Terre and Venice. The tour offered a nice variety of things to see and do.
