New Orleans and the Jazz Festival

Service

We were treated very professionally and personably by Collette and all those associated with such as our Tour Director, Randy Ley.

Tour

The tour was excellent ... Our accommodation and its location right in the centre of the French Quarters were fabulous as were the 2 days at Jazz Fest along with the additional walking tours, tour of the city of New Orleans, and the swamp tour (where we saw many, many alligators). Another highlight of the tour were meeting and building relationships with all the other people on the tour.

Service

What an amazing tour. Our guide, **** was outstanding. Whether it was a walking tour of the French Quarter or a panoramic tour of the city, **** enlightened us with her knowledge of the city. Since it was the holiday season, we visited hotels which were beautifully decorated. Knowing the best restaurants for Cajun or Creole specialties was extremely helpful. We truly enjoyed this wonderful experience.

Tour

My favorite experience was the New Orleans cooking school. Chef ** was informative and entertaining, and the food was so delicious. I loved the whole event.

Had a good time

Service

First tour I've ever been on. It was a good experience. The guides were very knowledgable and I learned a lot. Meals were excellent. too much walking and the bed was too small for two people.

Tour

Learning how New Orleans started and about their beginnings and their special foods.

10/02/2017

Service

******* was very knowledgeable about the area, kept everything flowing and relaxed. As an Activity Director of a Senior Living Community I know that can be difficult at times. She was pleasant, always accessible and made you fell very comfortable.

Tour

We especially enjoyed the WWII Museum , my husband is a big history Buff. The trip on the riverboat as well as the Jazz club.

04/30/2017

Service

I would definitely recommend Collette Vacations. Good value.

Tour

My most memorable experience was a tour that was not part of the Collette package. It was a tour of the Whitney Plantation (also the Laura Plantation) and it was a life changer. I had to miss the city tour to do both plantations and was unhappy with missing parts of it but didn't want a pass & point. Recommend you include the Whitney Plantation in future.

04/30/2017
The start of almost every tour repeated the same "history" of New Orleans!

Service

(personal details removed by Feefo) our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. The food in the included meals and the two meals with the optional tours was mediocre at best. We have scheduled a Washington DC tour with Collette in the Fall and if the food isn't more diverse and a higher standard we will not be booking any further tours with Collette.

Tour

Repeated info from guides. Mediocre food.

New Orleans - great but tiring

Service

The tour was great. We never did get to introduce ourselves to each other.

Tour

The swamp tour was unusual. The dinner at the Court was good. City walking tour was too long and tiring.

10/02/2016
New Orleans was very interesting and has a lot of history there.

Service

Everything was well planned and the tours and sightseeing were great. We could've never done it on our own.

Tour

Enjoyed the sightseeing tours.

New Orleans in 5 days

Service

I really enjoyed this tour. It was nice to be in one hotel for several nights-right in the French Quarter. Our tour director, was very personable and helpful. We had some highlights-a boat trip in a swamp where we saw alligators and a paddlewheel steamboat trip on the Mississippi

Service

I was very pleased with all aspects of this tour and Colette management

Tour

Tour guide was wonderful. She did a great job. I enjoyed the guided tours, the mule carriage ride in the poring rain, and lots of time to walk around and do what I wanted to do and, of course, Cafe DuMonde
