The only downside of the trip was not having enough time to spend in certain areas, It would have been nice to have a down day in the Tuscan region to enjoy the pool etc. at our last hotel. With that being said the trip was great and I'm sure planned to see as much as possible. We would definitely travel with Collette again.Charles Vetter

We were able to experience a great deal of Italy in a limited amount of time. Although we have discussed many times the trip and all of the scenic and historical highlights, we are unable to say definitively which part was our favorite. We loved the tour and looked forward to each day's new adventure.

I loved the location of the hotel in Tuscany. It was so peaceful. One thing I disliked but not something that Collette can control were the aggressive panhandlers trying to sell you scarves and purses in Florence and Pisa. Some would even follow even though I said I wasn't interested.

The Tour Director was excellent. he was clear, concise and very informative. He went out of his way to assist everyone for whatever needs that they had. The tour itself was excellent. It was high paced with a great deal of walking. Plenty to see. All of the meals that Collette arranged were very good to outstanding and the restaurants were all "Top Shelf" with wine Included.Ben J

I enjoyed the winery tour, very impressive plus great wine.....and Lucca. There was just something about the city (town) that made it truly what you thought an Italian town would be like. And the scenery was everything I thought it would be.

Overall the tour was amazing, the sites were incredible. The various personalities of the people on the tour provided, additional flavor, fun and excitement to the experience. The pacing of the tour could have been better. For example, after a red-eye flight, we only had a half hour before the welcome dinner. (and our flight was on time) This trend continued throughout the week where there was not enough time to change cloths and freshen up before dinner.Nancy Chomyszak

The tour guide had a rotation system that was not fair for the size of the group and length of the trip. I complained to him because on this rotation we would be in the back of the bus for the whole tour.He agreed with me then had us sit in the front 1/2 of the bus for one 20 minute trip then he went back to his rotation system that put us in the back. I complained again and he moved us up front for another trip about 45 minutes but never for the day. He was nice and had a lot of knowledge but this is not fair.Joan
