      Tour was great, ITA airlines on the way there... the stewards were horrible. Bathrooms were terrible and dirty. One would think it would be attended to at some points. 8 hours in the air? Terrible. My luggage was lost. I will never use ITA again. Tour guide was fabulous. It was very well organized. Every moment was great.

      Great tour guide. Super knowledgeable and helpful. Great accommodations. Great bus driver. Plenty of time on our own. Honestly, The only negative experience was the flight home with KLM who partners with Delta. Had to pay extra to get a decent seat. A handicapped individual and their spouse in our group didn’t do online check in the night before and KLM sold their ticket and left them stranded. Ticket was paid for and should have been reserved. I would highly reconsider a future trip if KLM were involved.

      Tour Rating:

      I enjoyed every aspect except the weather. Our tour manager was phenomenal. I can't imagine a better experience. The restaurants she chose for us were wonderful as well as our accommodations. Except the Radisson. I had tiny flying bugs in my room. The experiences that I signed up for were top notch. I would have liked to have done the wine tour, but hand out said no other beverages would be served. I'm not a drinker. After talking to guests that did that tour, there were other beverage options. I would not aware of all the people that needed to be tipped. I was not prepared cash wise to pay everyone. That should be spelled out, clearly at the very beginning of the information. So when I exchanged money at the bank, I would've had enough. Jo our tour manager was brilliant.

      Europe Travel FAQs

      For travel across most of Europe, Australian 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.

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.
