This tour was exactly what we hoped it would be. Everything, the experiences, accommodations, included meals and experiences, were all wonderful, especially for our price range. We traveled across six countries and kept an ideal pace, accomplishing so much more than we could have done on our own. We especially loved seeing Trümmelbach Falls, and so many mountain waterfalls, some even viewable from our Swiss hotel room.

Too much free, unplanned time! Collette should offer more guidance on how to use all the free time. Peaks of Europe should have included visit to Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain which is close to town of Seefeld where there was a ‘free’ day. Or, they should suggest a visit to nearby Neuschwanstein Castle, famous all over the world.

The hike up to the chapel in the middle of the Dolomites was breathtaking. You felt like you were in the Sound of Music! I also loved the private tour of the alphorn workshop and then listening to him play one. So magical!Karen Hines

Our tour manager, Ivana, truly made this a trip to remember. On our first dinner together in Chamonix, she arranged for us to be serenaded by French entertainers at dinner. On our final transfer, Ivana went the extra mile in escorting the Venice group from the airport all the way to our hotel when she was officially off the clock. Ivana's attention to detail made this a smooth experience. In my note of gratitude to her on our final night, I told her she was like a mother duckling guiding her anxious chicks who fell in line behind her everywhere we went; she was an exceptional tour manager. Ivana carefully coordinated with local guides to book our tickets for the optimal 2-hour window for us to ascend the peaks of Mont Blanc. They timed our visit to conclude just as the clouds were obscuring the view for future tourists and climbers. Her daily emails recommending shops and restaurants were spot on---we would have been lost during our free time without her guidance. Her animated talks introducing us to the culture, history, and lifestyle of citizens in each country provided priceless context for each day ahead. Thanks for an unforgettable tour! I will definitely book future trips with Collette!Pamela Fischer

It was a fabulous family vacation. Our group included three generations. Each age group was pleased with the trip. The was enough free time for the youngest group to do their own activities and yet it suited the older ones too. Our tour guide was fabulous!

The tour was spectacular with amazing scenery & great included excursions. Although I do think the opt. excursion which was wonderful should have been included. Our tour director was excellent - so personable & knowledgeable. She even handed out special treats that were local to the area. The only minor drawback was too much time spent in Montreau, France, but that is a small thing in the grand scheme of activities. There was a good balance of free time & scheduled activities. I can't imagine not enjoying this tour immensely.Caralin Bond

Loved the Alps,… took thousands of pictures, posted a couple of hundred to Facebook. Two different friends contacted me to ask me which tour I’d been on and which tour company ? We’ve already booked our 33 rd wedding anniversary tour, this time to Nova Scotia
