Time spent in Portugal, Azores and Madeira was wonderful. Getting there was a nightmare. Communication between Collette and airlines was horrible! We were told Collette would "take care of everything" but we were unable to contact them. Collette needs to understand that they are a 24/7 operation and need to have personnel AVAILABLE to handle emergencies.

Yes, I can. How can a tour company have 40 plus customers departing on an international trip from one airport and not have a company representative there to see them off and address any issues that may arise? How can Collett allow two full days be taken from a vacation schedule and not address the issue via communication to the customer?William Schiffhauer

No help for flight cancellation. Group was too large. One hotel was old, dated and in need of updated & repairs. Some meals were below expectations and a few people ended up with food poisoning after dining at restaurant that was part of the tour.

The Azores days were by far the highlights of the trip, thanks to Maria, for doing such a wonderful job taking us to Furnas, and the hotsprings and the wonderful earth cooked lunch in the beautiful cottage. Touring her home island was very special. I appreciated having a little walking tour at the beginning, to get our bearings, and then having some free time the next day to explore on our own. If only, the whole trip could have been this way........Laura Close

As mentioned previously, the trip was great except there were too many travelers and the hotel location in in Lisbon was less than satisfactory. Again, Ledean Hamilton was especially helpful and accommodating (six stars)Gale Fullerton

A bit too much shopping opportunities for my taste. Most memorable was the scenery on the islands, riding the street tobaggan in Funchal. The wine and fruit flavored liquors were delish, even brought some home.

I thought the tour of all the sites was thoroughly enjoyabel. I enjoyed the Azores most of all. However, Hotel Atlas was terrible-extremely poor lighting in room. Couldn't read or put on makeup properly. On last night, we were put in a room with a sagging mattress. I was told housekeeping would "take care of it". HA! I ended up sleeping on the floor due to back pain. We had panned to stay there several extra days to explore Lisbon further, but moved to another hotel the next day. There was way too many people on the tour. As a result, being crammed into small restaurants created long, long waits for cold, tepid food,and a waste of time when we could have been enjoying the sights. The optional tour to eat at the palace in Lisbon was highly promoted both before and during the tour. It was terrible-terrible service, terrible food, and highly overpriced. I will be requesting a refund for the optional tour as it was a total rip off.

Difficult to answer which was our favourite experience, as it was such a varied and interesting trip. Probably the basket ride on Madeira, which was quite exhilarating! Due to the swell following the hurricane which passed close to San Miguel and the Azores, the two open sea trips had to be cancelled. The sea water pool at Moniz was also affected by this. Lisbon was a lovely city, but so hot (not complaining!)Colin Stone

We enjoyed the tour however we thought it was a bit overwhelming. We were on the go most days from early in the morning to late in the evening. Many stops we only had 20 minutes to get off the bus, use a bathroom, get something to eat or drink and then reboard. This is just not enough time to do any of that much less get a feel for the town in which you stopped. By mid tour couples were dropping out for the day or days and went sightseeing on their own to shop and get a better feel for the islands at a much less rushed pace.Susan

The hotels were all good. The tour manager was well organised and everything ran smoothly. I had not really thought through that 5 flights and 4 hotels in 12 days implied a lot of time in Airports and packing and unpacking suitcases so at times the pace was rather hectic. The local guides were all excellent as were the coach drivers and their vehicles.
