This is the fourth group trip I have taken on Collette and all of them have been excellent. I have two more booked this year and really looking forward to them. The hotels are always great and convenient and the food that is included is always wonderful also. The amount of tours that are included and the local guides have always been good also. All in all a wonderful time was had by all. -

Tour
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.

You expect the very best from Collette, so enevitably very high standards need to be maintained to keep customers totally happy. Somethings are beyond Colette’s control. The tour content was excellent. The pace was a bit hectic, but we achieved a lot. We couldn’t have planned and organised a better trip ourselves.

Ellis island was the highlight for me. It is a unique experience to see the photographic records of how a nation was populated in its infancy. The human stories triggered many thoughts and feelings.

excellent tour could do with a slight change as it became very tiring for older members due to the early starts and full days. tour guide very good could have been a little smarter. sadly the transfer after two hours in immigration was the worst we have ever had, he wanted to charge us waiting time, was constantly texting on his phone almost crashed twice, then his kids rand and were shouting on the phone poor indeed, but not collettes fault. on the return so different smart pleasant wouldn't take a tip as he said it was included how refeshing

Collette is usually a sure bet for escorted travel the service pick up from our home was very timely. The transportation to our hotel in New York was comfortable and the driver was competent. Our driver home from our airport was friendly but weaved on the road so much so it caused concern to myself and fellow travelers.

Our Collette tour guide Matt was fun and full of information, it was obvious he loves New York City. Our local tour guide was outstanding, he escorted our (extra pay) tour of Greenwich Village which was one of my favorites.

Our whole experience was wonderful. The hotel, tour guide, coach driver, sites and shows were great. The only thing we were disappointed in was the food choices at one of the restaurants. We would and have recommended Collette to several of our friends and yes we definitely will book other tours with them.

Tour
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.

Service
The amount of walking on a tour of NY was different from our previous 3 trips with Collette, granted my wife had to use a cane/wheelchair but walking to breakfast seemed a little different. Vouchers to be used by us, and having to negotiate with the restaurant staff/management for the type of menu and price was an issue for us and some or our fellow travelers. Tour guided did her best under the rules she was given.

The play was an additional cost of $85.00 but not sure why. The tickets were marked $109.00. What was the cost of the other plays? The seats were off to the side so couldn't see the entire stage. Limo ride was seriously a train wreck. Two hours at the airport trying to get assistance from Chris Limo and Colette who told us they were busy. Chris Limo said the driver wasn't answering his phone. This cost us two hours, a $20 tip to the man working at the garage who got us water so we wouldn't miss our driver that never came. Then we contacted Lyft because we were tired and so hot waiting both in the luggage area and then garage as directed by people on the phone. Thank goodness our Tour Manager was great. She is very professional, considerate of all and a bright and personable person.

See previous. Please improve on limo service or don't make this an option. Vary the trip to include other sites such as Brooklyn, Intrepid, museums, Central Park. Other restaurants Serendipity, Restaurant in the park, etc.
Thank you for traveling with Collette to New York City. A supervisor from the Guest Relations Team will be reaching out to discuss your feedback.

The limo ride from the airport to the hotel was the worst I have ever had. You set us up as a shared ride and the other party was an hour behind us. I ended up taking a lyft from after waiting 2 hours. The tour manager was great. I also paid an up charge for tickets to Waitress. The seats were way off to the left of the stage making them partly obstructed. Further the tickets had a face value of $109 and I paid $85 of that amount, so I think I did not get the value for my tour price of two Broadway plays.

Thank you for traveling with Collette to New York City. Please accept our sincere apology for your on tour issues.

Very well organised trip. Seeing and staying in a large city such as New York can be very tiring, but knowing that there was a coach on hand all the time was very reassuring - negotiating the traffic was another matter though. Limosine pick-up service was very good in the UK and being picked up from our New York hotel to take us to the airport, however being collected at JFK to be taken to our hotel, he was nowhere to be seen as apparently we were too long coming through passport control and he didn't wait for us. We had to find our own way to our hotel.The tour manager was excellent throughout the trip (heals re-embursed us immediately for our taxi fare) but can only be commended for his help and advice throughout the trip.

Tour
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!

THE EASE OF BOOKING THE TOUR TO NEW YORK CITY, IS A WELCOMED, STRESS RELIEVER. EVERYTHING, FROM YOUR FRONT DOOR TO THE RETURN, IS TAKEN CARE OF BY THE COURTEOUS AGENTS, IN LESS THAN AN HOUR ON THE PHONE. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO CONCENTRATE ON THE PERSONAL SIDE OF YOUR TRIP. THE PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS, THE FIRST RATE HOTELS AND THE KNOWLEDGEABLE, TOUR GUIDE MANAGER, TOM DENTINO, MADE ME REFLECT ON GOING BACK.

NEW YORK CITY IS A VIBRANT AND EXCITING PLACE. ALTHOUGH I GREW UP IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, THERE WERE SO MANY INTERESTING PLACES THAT, EVEN, I HAD NOT BEEN. THE RESTAURANTS, THEATRES AND THE SITES/SOUNDS, WERE ALL GREAT. I, ESPECIALLY, LOVED THE, ENERGETIC, "JERSEY BOYS" SHOW AND THE TOUR OF ELLIS ISLAND, WHERE SO MANY VENTURED INTO THE UNKNOWN.

All in all our trip was wonderful. On the trip back from Ellis Island when we got off the ferry we could not find our tour guide. He had not told usher to meet him. We looked all over for him could not see him or his flag, we went to where the buses were and did not find him. We called him 3 times with no answer so we took a taxi back to hotel at a cost of $30. He finally called us but was not too concerned.

It was a good trip EXCEPT for when we arrived at the Sheraton Hotel in New York about 5 pm after a long flight and were very tired and then we were told our room would not be ready until 10 p.m. That is unacceptable!! We got no rest that evening and started out the trip the next morning very tired. I have never heard of check-in time being at 10 p.m.

I loved the home pick up to the airport and then back home at the end of our tour. I have not been on another tour that does this. Please continue. Our hotel was very comfortable and had a great location. I can't heap enough praise on our tour guide, Tracy. Just excellent in every way. The tour bus was very nice as well. The whole concept of Spotlight on NYC was a great one. The diners were fun for breakfast....... Starlight Diner with singers a bit much in the morning though. The other restaurants were fine..... it was nice to have several choices. If I have one suggestion..... that first day was kind of a killer with the early time to commence the tour..... followed by the play. It would be nice to add another day , so it would be a little more relaxed. The other days were fine. LOVED the Hi line and the Chelsea Market. More time there would be nice. The plays were absolutely outstanding. Liked the idea of a matinee and a night time production. We will continue to travel with Collette! Wish we could clone Tracy for our next tour with you to Portugual!

The Tour Guide was gracious, kind, competent and very knowledgable. The tour was wonderful, so much to see, so little time. LOL. One or two suggestions: the bus was not designed for touring, the windows were too small to see the high buildings. The driver was excellent: competent and helpful with my walker. ALSO for a New York tour, the morning was so rushed in terms of being able to see important places, even from the bus. Perhaps the World Trade Centre and 9/11 tour could be set for the next day with the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. All 3 are iconic New York/American sites. The Broadway shows, restaurant choices and atmosphere of just being in New York City was terrific. P.S. I also learned that I can travel alone quite confidently. Thank you.

Too Much Jammed Into One Day
-
Service
The tour director was excellent -- I don't think you could have had anyone better. However, I think you need to let travelers know the itinerary before the time of arrival. We arrived at the airport at 3:30 and because of problems with the car service provided by Collette we did not arrive at the hotel until 6:30 -- and by that time totally exhausted. Had to get settled in the hotel and find a place to have dinner. Then we find out that the tour begins the next morning at 6:40 AM and then we did not arrive back at the hotel until 11:30 pm. A totally exhausting day. If I had been aware of the schedule for the first day I may have gone a day early to be fully rested to such an exhausting day. A 16-17 hour day of touring is too exhausting for anyone -- regardless of age.

I was disappointed that the tour did not include such sites as the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, the UN. The Intrepid Aircraft Carrier Could have been an option. Ellis Island should have been an option. Also the 911 memorial should have been an option. I have a feeling that the Restaurants we went to did not care for tours. (Tips?). Knowing what I now Know about the tour, I would have passed on the above mentioned sites and paid extra (Bus Tour) to see and tour Famous New York Sites also mentioned above. The Plays were Excellent. -

As I have stated, famous New York Sties were not included.

-
Service
Generally the tour was very good, and a lot packed-in, in the time. We were very disappointed not to have been taken to the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. However, the shows,hotel,guides & tour organisation was good. UNITED airlines was poor, probably worst of any airline we have ever used, including budget airlines !! The pick-up from NJ Airport was very bad, driver was operating / speaking on 3 different phones constantly, with no information on our journey of points of interest etc..also dropped us off about 200 yards from our hotel entrance..(not what we were expecting) The only other gripe was our breakfast at COSMIC...grumpy old man served us, I use the word "served" advisedly...and the food looked tired, as though it was re-heated, and tasted accordingly...un-appetising !!! Our tour guide (Personal details removed by Feefo) and city guide (Personal details removed by Feefo) were excellent, both with a good sense of humour, and the right amount of local information. We will of course try to use Collette again, and recommend them to our friends and family. PS. Your gratuity information was still causing confusion amongst fellow travellers on this tour. It needs to be sharpened up and made much more succinct / clear. Thank you.

The Broadway shows were thrilling to me, and weaving thru the streets in that big bus was fascinating-loved the 911 memorial and going to the Metropolitan Museum. Our tour included wonderful dining and fun.

Tour
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.

So many hard to choose. Ellis Island, The Statue of Liberty and the World Trade center memorial were the highlights I suppose. The location of the hotel was very much appreciated as we were able to walk to many attractions and found it easy to find our way around.

NYC--A brief but inclusive tour of the city and highlights that I would not have been able to access easily on my own.

Service
Easy to reserve and the pre-trip information very helpful. Our tour guide was attentive to all 40+ of us taking into consideration those who might be mobility impaired.

Tour
I most liked the stop at the new 9/11 Memorial Museum. I took an extra fee narrated tour which further enhanced my visit. I would recommend that to obtain the full impact. Also, enjoyed a morning stroll in Central Park with our local guide for the morning (Phil) who was a repository of information about NYC sites we saw after that. I loved his guidance. The ferry to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was wonderful too.

The Big Apple - Awesome Trip

Service
Fantastic trip. Group setting let us access areas at times that would have been difficult if we were traveling alone. Superb tour group leader. Unflappable and really knowledgeable. He made us all feel safe and excited about the planed activities. This is an affordable way to pack a whole lot of activity into a few days with all of the details of organization and time management left to Collette. We will definitely be looking at future tours. Thanks!

Tour
The 911 Memorial Museum was breathtaking and I doubt we would have waited through the many hours long entry line on our own. Collette had us in the back/side door reserved for groups and we hardly even slowed down at the door. Thank you for that.

Collotte's NYC tour was terrific. I could easily have spent a week there. Mark, our tour manager, was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Restaurants and Broadway choices were very good.

Another great travel experience with our favorite travel company. We decided to visit New York as a personal celebration of our 51st wedding anniversary, and the first thought was to "call Collette" since we have traveled with them many times before. The agent helped us set up the trip, including our choice of airline connections, and we never doubted that the trip would be wonderful. And it was.

Tour
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.

Loved the trip! The guides were very good! The restaurants were excellent! Loved the Stardust, and the Stagecoach did a magnificent job in feeding the group at the last minute. Mark handled the situation expertly! I enjoyed all the sightseeing, and tours. This is one of the best tours I have been on. I would definitely recommend Collette to anyone.

I enjoyed Central Park the most. We took a rickshaw ride on our own through the park! I would recommend it! 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!

Collette's professionalism and efficiency in booking my itinerary made for a worry free trip.

Service
It was my first trip to NYC and this tour itinerary offered a good opportunity to experience the major attractions. Collette's website was informative and the travel agents were helpful in making all the arrangements. I felt I was in good hands and felt confident everything would be taken care of.

Tour manager,was knowledgeable and very personable. He was always upbeat and made the trip a lot of fun. Our local tour guide, was very informative and had a great sense of humor. He made the day entertaining while seeing all the sights in NY. Experiencing the city's rich history and culture was very memorable. And it was great to meet other folks in our tour group. I love NY and would like to do a return trip in the future. The New Amsterdam theater was fascinating! And Ellis Island and the 9/11 Memorial gave me a depth of appreciation for the hardships and sacrifices people made to make our country great.
