Service

Collette was great except that the limousine company that was supposed to pick me up at my house and take me to the airport never showed up. Collette has not contacted me about this.

Tour

Visit to LBJ ranch. Also, excellent food from CIA and tour of Pearl district.

06/18/2018

Service

We liked your "Spotlight" tour format. Hotel was very conveniently located. Our tour director Jackie was superb!! She was organized, informative, friendly and always on top of things. Great trip (except for the high temps 104). We will look into other Spotlight trips in the future.

Tour

Enjoyed all aspects. LBJ Ranch, Riverwalk location and boat trip. Fredericksburg was interesijng but could has used a little more time there.

05/12/2018

Service

Everything Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took care of everyone s needs to my knowledge The places that we went were very enjoyable

Tour

We liked LBj ranch and the tour of the Pearl and the boat ride The parade was boring.

05/12/2018
I would strongly recommend Collette for ANY tour!

Service

Excellent trip and tour guide.

Efficient & fun

Service

We’ll organize itinerary. Nice people. We could see Lee than if we were doing the trip by ourselves.

Tour

The river boat tour & the olive orchard visit.

04/07/2018
Texas rocks

Service

We had a wonderful guide and loved that we had some down time to explore on our own. Also loved that the guide took us to the local church to view an amazing light show and that was an extra that surprised us. The hotel on the Riverwalk was close to all the attractions and the staff was helpful and friendly

Tour

Amazing tour. Loved the variety of attractions. Hard to pick a favorite but loved LBJ ranch and the Alamo.

04/07/2018
Enjoyable and stressless

Service

Magnificent room at La Mansion overlooking the river, comfortable transportation, capable guide.

Tour

Being from Texas, seeing the Alamo once again. Was there in 1984 with my wife for the Hemis-Fair. Did not feel that the Fredericksburg time was adequate for eating and seeing the WWII MUseum. The Witte Museum was very well done, informative and nicely arranged exhibits. The Sandy Oaks Olive Ranch was interesting and a breath of fressh Texas air. Even Bluebonnets which are hard to find.

01/17/2018
San Antonio

Service

We had a great vacation. Thank you Collette!

Tour

Staying right on the Riverwalk was a great thing.

01/01/2018
Great tour director, great sightseeing, meals, etc.

Service

Our flights changed at the last minute. So we arrived a little later than most of the other travelers. The tour guides worked together very well to make sure we got to the hotel safely and in a timely manner. One of the Collette guides that was not ours made sure to get us a taxi and got us safely to our destination. The entire time we felt that we were well taken care of. We have been traveling with different companies over the last 20 or so years (Tauck, Globus, Collette) and we were well satisfied with everything.

Tour

Visiting the old Pearl Brewery that has been transformed into an upscale living & shopping area was very interesting.

12/20/2017

Service

Everything was so beautiful -- only wish that I had more time at the Alamo. Our stay at the Alamo was short. Sure thing that I requested extra time on my last day of the tour to enjoyed the Alamo even more.

Tour

Love the River walk -- especially during the Christmas season -- with millions of lights along its way.

12/15/2017
Very nice

Service

Excellent tour guide.

Tour

Olive orchard lunch was delightful.

11/12/2017
Good trip.

Service

San Antonio was great. Saw a lot, did a lot. Tour guide was very good. He was very knowlegable. I did not like the bus we spent considerable time on, the seats were cramped and did not have a tray, cup holder or pouch.

Tour

The hotel was very good and the daily tours were great. The LBJ ranch , the river cruise, the olive orchard, the Alamo and the San Jose fort were all great tours. The river walk was very nice. The light show at the Cathedral was special.

10/12/2017

Service

Everything=) from the help on the phones with customer service, as we wanted an extra day to the friendly and exceptional tour manager ****** and the pleasant and accommodating bus driver ****. The hotel was fantastic good size clean room, yummie breakfast with great service, everyone was so friendly and seemed sincerely vested in making our trip exciting and lots of memories.

Tour

interesting places we visited. the amount of information given to us by ******. we both felt safe and comfortable with our Collette Team. Enjoyed the fine dining and excursions.

10/07/2017
Tour not long enough.

Service

The tour guide really knew her stuff.

Tour

The riverwalk was great, didn,t expect the Alamo to be next to a mall.

09/30/2017

Service

I would take another tour with Collette. The tour guide was great and attentive. The hotel was good and so was the food at the hotel. The places visited were enjoyable and interesting. Perhaps the Ranch dinner extra tour, which was cancelled, could have been substituted for something else that would have been memorable. This way there was nothing. Also, the visit to the coservatory was short as there were few flowers etc. to admire. Others went to a wonderful museum. Perhaps these two things could be combined so all can enjoy both. Timing would be ok, I think.

Tour

Visiting the Alamo was tops.

06/10/2017
Great trip; really enjoyed it.

Service

We love the fact that it is well organized, all you have to do is enjoy the trip! The tour director was professional and very knowledgeable about the San Antonio area. The hotel was a good choice, just walk out the door and you were on the Riverwalk.

Tour

Really liked the Alamo. Also was surprised how much we enjoyed and learned about the LBJ Ranch tour. Not one of my favorite presidents, but very interesting. A better choice could have been made for dinner than the Asian fusion restaurant. Something more appropriate to the Texas culture would have been more desirable.

05/14/2017

Service

The tour guide was very good. Loved Fredericksburg. Hotel was in an ideal location.

Tour

As before, tour guide good, hotel in good location, breakfast buffet dry good, loved Riverwalk & Fredricksburg.

05/13/2017
Not up to standard!

Service

The tour guide was not great. When you arrived later than the start of the tour which was known we were even greeter by the guide. Then we asked where the ice cream was in the tour we were visiting which had famous ice cream, the answer was "down the street"..Really!!!! How unfriendly could that be...then there was overflow on the tour and they change our first day so we started at 6:30AM and didn't get back until 9:30PM...they needed to tell us that because we wanted to see the river fiesta parade that day..she had no personality...when people who needed walkers went to the mission, instead of helping them, the other group members did...went to Michigan on Collette last year which is why we chose them again...Extremely disappointed...could have done it myself and not pay the money for the tour--

Tour

It was not what I expected and was treated poorly on the tour by the tour guide! No customer service!!!

Hello Cynthia,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for your experience with the guide. We have passed along your feedback to members of our tour manager team to review and investigate.

Service

The tour guide was good and helpful.

Tour

oliveoil orchardand the lunch was good.

"Remember the Alamo" and I sure will!!!!

Service

Good time, no hassles, no real problems, just fun! Would have loved more time on the front or back end of the trip, but enough time to see a little of what San Antonio and the area holds for tourists.

Tour

Just seeing the Alamo and the River Walk were great. You read about these sites for most of your life and now you get the chance to see them for yourself. Memorable!

04/30/2017

Service

The home pick up service when you purchase air travel from Collette is fantastic! I highly recommend them and am looking at my next tour.

Tour

The tour manager (personal details removed by Feefo) was awesome! She was a wealth of information about the area and its history.

04/09/2017

Service

Great trip.However would have like to know that there was a lady traveling alone because I was traveling single .We happened to find each other on the last travel day...Of coarse it was only a five day trip...We could have had dinner when there was no dinner option planned...All in all....Good trip! Travel agent was very helpful . (personal details removed by Feefo). Loved the pickup...maybe you could expand the mile pickup to JFK or Logan for overseas. I always notice singles get the not so nice room views.I've been on many tours seems to be the norm.....

Tour

All of the stops except the San Antonio Market Square

04/08/2017

Service

I loved having a pickup at our front door and transportation back home after the trip.

Tour

My favorite memory was of the trip on the boat on the San Antonio River and having our back door open to the River Walk.

Service

Excellent hotel accommodations. It was delightful to walk down the hall, out a door and be right at the River Walk. The pacing schedule for each day was just right.

Tour

Our favorite experience was the touring of the Missions, San Jose and the Alamo.

01/03/2017
San Antonio was an excellent place to spend time.

Service

An excellent trip. An excellent itinerary covering a wide scope of that part of Texas, in the city and outside the city.

Tour

We experienced history, culture and even new ventures entered into by the Texans - Olive production?

Nobody to meet us at the airport we had to call Collette. Time wasted waiting for a ride at the airport.

Service

Was a good trip. Rain dampened the experience, which is out of one's control. Would have appreciated more options or mentioning of points of interest.

Tour

The olive orchard dinner was most enjoyable, unique.

12/16/2016
Learn About Texas History

Service

Everything ran smoothly and I learned so much about southern Texas. The Sandy Oaks Olive Grove was particularly new and interesting.

Tour

All my experiences were great. Number 1 would probably be Sandy Oaks with the Mayan Ranch coming in second. The LBJ Ranch was also enlightening.

11/20/2016
Good trip

Service

The tour was good, but the tour director wasn't as friendly as the ones I've had in the past - she gave us lots of good info and you could tell she loved her work. I felt there was too much riding on the bus for such a short trip. Really enjoyed seeing the sights of the city ad surrounding area. Hotel was great, as it backed onto the canal.

Tour

Enjoyed the tour on the canal, getting to see a lot of different buildings, and learning the history of the canal.

10/29/2016
Didn't know that everyone in the Alamo had died.

Service

there was Free Time, but I would like to have had the choice of an optional program.

Tour

The LBJ Ranch was a timecapsule

10/29/2016
Spotlight on San Antonio.

Service

The tour was great, the tour manager was excellent, as well as, the bus driver. Sights were great and staying in one hotel was wonderful.

Tour

The LBJ ranch was my favorite stop.

Excellent service by Collette US

Service

Just a great professional job

10/08/2016
Alamo. LBJ ranch and dude ranch and canal ride the best

Service

Great guide knowledgeable caring and pleasant. Loved the places we went to see. She would take us on her time to places in the city that she thought we might be interested in.

Tour

Great guide. Great places of interest.

06/19/2016
Loads of fun visiting the sights even though the weather didn't cooperate.!!

Service

Excellent service to and from the airport to home. Tour director, Jan , was great. She was always cheerful and knew her business. I would take a Collette tour again if the opportunity arises.

Tour

visit to the Alamo was fun, could have been a little bit say 1/2 hour longer. The Olive Tree ranch was interesting and the dinner was great. Dude ranch was fun.

06/19/2016
First rate tour only downside in my view was the Dude ranch. Food over cooked singer just OK

Service

First rate service standard at airport when limo collected me & also at the chosen hotel. Location perfect for the River Walk. Full of praise for JAN lOWE THE TOUR GUIDE WHO WAS VERY FRIENDLY & HELPFUL ALL THE TIME. EVENTS ORGANISED WITH CARE & ATTENTION.. This was my 2nd tour with Collette & I would recommend Jan & the trip to anyone visiting that location. I would certainly recommend to friends a tour via Collette

Tour

Great pleasure as a UK citizen to meet with Americans of my age for conversations/ experiences of life & political views in light of your General Elewction this Novemebr & the UK's possible exit from the EU.

Testa in San Antonio with Collette--PERFECT!

Tour

What a fun time to be in San Antonio--fiesta--who knew!!! Even with the weather as a slight downer, all activities were carried out and more! Texas is a beautiful state and I certainly hope to return. Colette has always exceeded my expectations for exploration and comfort. Our guide, was simply wonderful!!
