Great tour, great Hotel! Sightseeing was perfect, had never attended any Broadway plays, enjoyed tremendously, especially MJ. Tour Director Paula made the trip extra fun, she was full of energy, very organized and made the trip extra special for a wide age range group! I would suggest the Limo service give the phone number of the main guest to have direct contact instead of going through the main office, had quite a bit of confusion on arriving and departure. We were not notified of traveling with 4 other members of our travel companions, it was not a problem but would have been more professional for them to send a text or call and let us know to avoid confusion! That was the only negative about the entire tour!!

Our Tour Manager was wonderful very attentive to everyone’s needs. I have been on several Collette tour prior to Covit. This one did not meet the standards that were in place before. The meals that were provided were not we had before. We had one good breakfast at the Starlite and the farewell dinner at the Brazilian place the others are forget about it. Also previously on tour we had fast pass entry to sites. This was not the case with the Liberty Island and Elllis Island Tour.

I thought the meals could have been better. I know it's hard to prepare meals for all those people at the same time, but the quality wasn't as good as I expected. The best meal was the last nite at the Brazlian steak house. The Italian dinner was very strange - everyone wanted regular old spagetti and meatballs or lasagne from a good Italian restaurant but the choices were not good.

Lack of beef option on dinner meals, I and other guests had issues with their room, from lack of hot water, heater not working correctly. Some had a mini refrigerator. Airfare request for aisle seats not an option. Yet when travelers looked at the flight there was a few aisle seats. Yet could not change because of flying with a group. Some KTN were left off boarding passes and travelers had to go the non-ktn route. Our tour manager was on top of his game.

Loved the Rockettes. Would have been so appropriate to have such an uplifting show follow the emotional day spent at the 911 Memorial and at the end of the tour. The bus tour with the local guide was a low point. He was not articulate enough for those of us in the middle or back of the bus to see or understand what he was pointing out.

Food was terrible, especially breakfasts. Dinner was awful, except for the last night. We always left later than scheduled. Had slow walkers, even though it was advertised for moderate walkers. We had to pay an extra $100 a person for the Broadway show, even though the ticket price was $127.65. We had to change hotel rooms the first night because our bed was broken and the bathroom sink leaked. We spent lots of time stuck in traffic, at a stand still. The optional Greenich Village Tour was shorter than advertised. The Radio City and Broadway show seats were way to one side, so that we could not fully appreciate the show and music. At the Broadway show, we were stuck behind the speakers. We thought Collette Tours was a high end tour group. It is definitely not.Albert Gyuricza

1. Rockettes, without a doubt! Not your fault, but I was sorry my favorite shows were no longer playing. We chose not to attend any of the three options we had. Enjoyed our morning at the J.P. Morgan Library, something we did on our own. Fit our time frame, no long line standing in the rain, beautiful part of New York. Had read the book, J.P. Morgan's Personal Librarian, so had background knowledge of the amazing collections. 9/11 was a must see, but because I lived in Oklahoma during that bombing, I did not need to spend much time going through the museum due to the emotional impact. I have also seen so many hours of excellent TV programs recounting the events. Steve did an excellent job of guiding us through the outdoor portions. We went to Trinity Church while in that area. I appreciated the ability to do what suited us best with the time we had. Nicely guided but not "controlled." I liked our flexibility on Ellis Island and at the Statue of Liberty. Again, Steve managed that time well. The evening meals were excellent. Seating arrangements were well done. The hotel was nicely located and met the needs of our group. We made the best of our "extra night" in the Atlanta Airport. Just wish we had been informed of the sleeping accommodations in the airport itself (I think in Concourse B) since the motel was not in a good part of Atlanta so chose not to go there and risk not getting back to the airport in time - and avoided going through security again. Our originally scheduled time was moved to include the weekend. I would prefer not to be there on Saturday and Sunday.Letty Schiesz

Phil was top notch leader. She had to deal with some things that were challenging. The people got tickets for wrong date for a show. Phil got us tickets to another show so we saw two in one day. Also, I felt Phil dealt with what I felt was an entitled and obnoxious couple on our trip. She was also, wonderful when a tour member had health issues. My favorite was the shows and food!Anita Hamilton

Seeing the Rocketts. However our fist room was VERY small and we needed to have it changed and the hotel wanted to charge us an additonal $250.00 per night. The tour manager was able to have the room changed, without the additional cost. The upgrade was fine.It would have been nice to tour a TV studio, as long as we were in New York city.Heidi Lyon

We saw everything we wanted to see the first time in NYC. It was nice to have some free time to see sites that weren’t included on the tour. Ellis Island and seeing The Statue of Liberty up close were our favorites. I liked also that we were picked up at our house, airport to hotel and on our return brought back to our residence which was all inclusive. Also shows and 5 meals were paid for which made it really nice.

My only complaint was that the literature and person I spoke to at your headquarters lead me to believe both musicals were our choice. This was why one of the main reasons we chose the tour. However the group tour required a premade choice of a musical we had both seen before, in fact my daughter’s third time. There were so many other fun ones we could have chosen from. My favorite thing was the musical ***** Boots!

Most enjoyable restaurant was on our last evening. The drive around the city with our guest guide was very informative. The plays we would prefer more current even if they might be considered off Broadway. Something new like a sports event would be great hockey, baseball or football. Also, the Brooklyn Bridge or Intrepid would be great. Meals we would like lighter fair Shake Shack or Serendipity would be different. there is so much to see in New York we want to go again but different things to see and do. Also, the rooms are small so maybe a Manhattan Club type hotel.

The ferry to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was wonderful too.Sandra

The tour was excellent in every respect! Our CarsCo driver met us on time at the airport and delivered us to the hotel by dodging afternoon freeway traffic, providing a guided tour of Queens along the way. Mark Godin, our Tour Manager, met us at the hotel and recommended that we explore Rockefeller Center and Top of the Rock while he took care of checking us in to our hotel room, thus extending our tour by a full afternoon. This extra service is only one of the ways in which Mark enhanced our tour by adding tips and suggestions for individual choices along the way. We experienced so much more of New York than we thought possible in this short weekend tour, partly because of the itinerary choices made by Collette and in large part through the personal service provided by Mark Godin.Tom

I would like to see the tour of NYC that is done on the bus moved to one of the sightseeing buses. Difficult to see what the guide was talking about when you sit in the middle or on the aisle. Ellis Island was special! And St. Paul's was very good. And the Broadway plays were a lot of fun! And I loved the people on this trip!Cynthia

The short tour was very good in view of the fact that I had never visited NYC. I am definitely going back to see more! The hotel location was excellent and the hotel staff was wonderful. I didn't meet a single "unfriendly" person. The only "oh, no!" moment happened when I receive the info about which shoes to see. I would have liked to have had a bigger choice as I had already seen two of the choices. I would like to comment on Josh Chelmo, our tour director. He has very good people skills, was very helpful with requests, and had a good sense of humor, which is important when dealing with a group of people. I would say that Josh is a very important member of the Collette organization and Collette is fortunate to have him in its employ.Teresa
