Guided Europe Tours

George was the Best guide ever! The trip to Greece was extraordinary and unforgettable! George made it extra so with his personality, professionalism and vast knowledge of Everything Greece has to offer! This was our favorite Collette trip yet! Highly recommend!!

I enjoyed the trip along with all of the tours which were arranged for our group. Our tour guide. Vilim was excellent!! He added so much to our group with all of his knowledge of the area and history. Our bus driver Mickey got us to our destinations on time and safely. All of our stops included some form of history of the area. I didn’t know what to expect but I thoroughly loved it. I also loved all of the bread and butter along with the food, it was delicious. We did have an issue with whale watching at the location we’d gone to due to weather, but our tour guide Vilim, came through for us and got us booked at a different location. The Sky Lagoon was literally breathtaking. It was extremely difficult to try to explain it to people as it was something I found indescribable. One of the best trips I’ve ever taken.

Overall was excellent. Would have like to go to St. Andrews Golf Course.

Tour was very organized from start to finish. Highlight was the fjord ride. Breathtaking ! Needed more time in Bergen . First; the long plane ride was exhausting. Second: a day to acclimate would have been welcome. Get up for breakfast- do walking tour - but allow choice to rest in room while others go exploring on their own. Third: having a good nights rest, allow us to time to check out museums you kept telling us about- but no open window of time to experience. THEN : with us biologically on Norway time , we feel more comfortable & not in a fog. I appreciated the opportunity to see such magnificent sights, but it required too much & too long sitting time. Bus was comfortable, but again , too many hours sitting day after day. Allow time in towns for us to experience a theater performance, take a cooking lesson , tour museum , try fishing , buy yarn , learn embroidery, visit fabric specialty shops.

My friend and I really enjoyed the tour. Lynsey McMullen was an entertaining, knowledgeable, helpful and very professional tour guide in every way. When things did not always go as planned, for example a broken down ferry, she smoothed things out and gained our confidence and trust. All of the places we visited and the local guides were very good. The only thing that needs work is the tartan mill we visited. The owner who talked to us droned on at length with us standing there a very long time. As an educator myself, I know that it is important to engage your audience by having them actually participate in some way. If we had been able to see the employees working which we did not, it would have drawn us in. After thirty minutes of standing and listening I got back on the bus and watched from there as she continued on for far too long with them just standing and listening. I'm sure this can be improved upon. Thanks for a super tour I learned lots and the Edinburgh Tattoo was amazing, more amazing than expected even.

Fabulous sites. I especially liked the Italian riviera! And Romagna. So beautiful. Wonderful guide. Collette is always first class. Great shopping for glass, leather , and jewelry.

The entire trip was awesome. Hotels were first class. Tour director was fantastic! Would Love to go on another trip with her. She was really really great!

Our tour guide, Laura Goodman, was absolutely the best! She is extremely knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited and kept us entertained during the whole trip. Highly recommend booking a trip where she is the tour guide. The Edinburgh Tattoo was the highlight of the trip and also recommend attending if available.

Our tour guide was spectacular! Also, the sky lagoon was my personal favorite

I really enjoyed the entire trip! Felt like we were treated like royalty! I loved all the information I learned. I felt like when we had free time, we had learned so much, it was no problem finding the things we wanted to do. Mona was the best!!!!

Mona is the best.

Amazing tour! Collette Travel is excellent. The itinerary was seamless.

Tour was terrific and Simone was a wonderful manager. Going to Pilates was the best, going to the farm with the cows was also a good choice. Not sure that the herb farm was a good idea . Riding the Bernini Express through all the different types of scenery was nice to see. All in all it was a great trip

Excellent tour manager and other guides were very knowledgeable and provided facts and humor in their presentations. Hotels were wonderful. Weather for Scotland turned out to be wonderful too, and the group traveled so well together. Attending the military tattoo was more than expected and the 9 PM show is the one to attend. For the faint of heart try the haggis. You just might like it.

Tour Manager Excellent Coach Driver very professional Good itinerary-although long day trip to Iona. I gave some negative feedback on walking tour guide in Oban (boring and not good use of time ). Weaving and tartan factory could have been interesting however the founder was "full of herself" -name dropped and talked too long. Highlight was sheep farm, family welcoming, strong and interesting presentation, and bagpiper!

Difficult to narrow to one. Kilkenny tourist train ride thru town with Paul was fun! Many would make TopTen: Guiness, Book of Kells, St. Patrick's, Phoenix Park, Waterford, McGill Brewery, Cliff's of Moher, carriage jaunt thru National park, Galway, coach rides with exceptional narrative (Ann) n driver Andreas. Woolen mill...didn't use allowed time to wait in line to kiss blarney stone - not important to me. Last nite in castle beautiful but meal there mediocre n they needed more serving staff to handle number. Also had other events going on (two weddings) so was busy.

What a great experience to see a wonderful country! Everything was on time, food was great, hotel was awesome, and the Castle was fabulous! Can't wait for my next tour with Collette!

We have traveled with Colette three times now. This trip was the best so far. Anne was an amazing guide! The only bad part was the flight home and nearly 8 hour delay at O’Hare. This has happened my last two trips with Colette. If I travel again with Colette, I will book my own airfare.

Wonderful experience with a fantastic tour guide

A perfect adventure for those who are tired of the cities and love nature. The land portion through Lapland was nicely paced. The cruise through the Norwegian coast was the highlight of the trip.
