Our recent Collette trip to Italy was indeed A TRIP of a LIFETIME! Our host, Federico, couldn't have been better and our accomodations in Rome took our breath away! The Amalfi Coast was even better than I had expected and the food was "to die for!" Now all my wife and I have to do is decide where we want to go next! Thank you, Collette!John Pattie

Our tour guide Maria Pilar (Cookie) was incredible, so organized and knowledgeable. The tour itself was great lots to see, it was a busy tour but there was down time. The food was incredible. We loved the Colosseum, Pompeii, Sorrento and eating lunch at the base of Mount Vesuvius was amazing. The food tour was fun and the food was delicious!our individual tour guides were very knowledgeable and fun. We had a great group of people to travel with. The only thing we would do differently is, we wouldn’t go in the summer again. Summer is very crowded and it was very warm 100+ during our tour week.Deborah Greene

The trip was good, the weather was horrible with 82% humidity which isn't anyone's fault. I think too many events were scheduled on several of the days. We had no time to relax and go to the pool and even eat out on our own. Our guides were good and the bus driver excellent. Our flights were dreadful. A level 3 has a lot of walking which I had no idea how much. It wouldn't have been so bad except for the heat.Sharon Lacey

Collette is a wonderful tour company. My experience is my own fault. This is a 3 level tour. However if one is older, have some difficulty with back, knee, hip, and uneven surfaces along with staircases this is not your tour. After researching this trip no where did I see that I would climb 10-20 staircases a day, walk at least a quarter mile multiple times a day from and to the bus. In my past tours we were dropped at the door. Not this tour. I also did not know there is not cold drinks with ice, or air conditioning anywhere(our hotel room and bus had AC). The temp was 85 and above. I have never been so hot and in pain in my life. We paid for upgraded rooms and I was embarrassed at our view. Money wasted. However the bright spot was Frederico. He attempted to accommodate me by checking on me frequently and getting me a cab when I couldn’t walk anymore. He was amazing. I deeply appreciate being refunded our capri tour. I could no longer walk and needed a day of rest. We tried multiple people to give our tickets to, however we hit a wall with that. We highly recommend Collette tours for travelers just take the time to delve in more if you have pain/mobility problems.Debra Goodrum

I wish there had been an overall tour of Rome at the beginning of the tour. It might have helped me put the city in perspective. Also, the weather in Amalfi Coast was wretched. I don’t think we should’ve taken the boat ride from one place to where the bus was. I felt unsafe getting on and off the boat. A little more time allowed for souvenir shopping would have been nice. Luigi did a good job.

Everything on this tour was memorable! Rome is Rome, the Eternal City. Our accommodations there at the beginning of the tour were great and within easy walking distance of many sites and wonderful restaurants. The Amalfi Coast is as beautiful as many advertise. The ruins at Pompeii and Paestum were awe inspiring and the countryside at and around the buffalo mozzarella farm near Paestrum; and at the winery on the slopes of Vesuvius was beautiful. Our accommodations at Riato were both modern and excellent with extraordinary views overlooking Vietri sul Mare, Salerno and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The food and beverage service at the Hotel Riato was excellent. However, we did have trouble getting our room cool enough to suit us. The food for all the tour group dining experiences at all the other locations was great. Our last night accommodations and food in Rome were excellent.George Englert

We had good experiences, but the crowded venues made it less enjoyable. We did not have a good experience with lunch at the Vatican. The only option that we were brought to was so crowded, we had to sit outside on the street curb to eat our food. Our friends didn't even get anything to eat. We thought we would see a demonstration of mosaic making, but it was really just a showroom where we felt like we were being herded to for making purchases. We would have liked more time in museums. We hurried through, seeing the highlights, but didn't have time to linger and look at what interested us. If you are going to Rome, we thought the Vatican should be part of the included tour, not an add on. That's all we did in Rome with the tour and we had to pay for it. We actually had to see Rome on our own. We came early and stayed an extra day to see Rome. Maybe it shouldn't be billed as Rome and the Amalfi Coast.Karon Ferrara

Fedora in Rome was a great local guide, but the tours should not have been crammed all into one day. That put us both at the Coliseum and at the Vatican and St. Peters at the height of the day with seas of other tours - literally you could do nothing but be moved like cattle by the crowd. Not enjoyable at all and allowed for no time to really enjoy the sites - was like a walking drive-by.Fortuna Chester

Our bus driver, "Beppe" was wonderful! He negotiated all of the roads in southern Italy nicely and allowed us to "stay on the bus" at stops if we needed to! Loved the places we toured. Paestum was a wonderful. Pompeii incredible! Our hotel in Cetara, the Cetus was awesome! Just wish we could have spent a little more time on our balcony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea! Loved the touring group we were traveling with; made new friends!Cheryl Miller

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Rome and the Amalfi Coast. Being part of a tour has been wonderful as we meet new people while exploring a new country. The choice of hotels has always been to our satisfaction. Who wouldn't want to walk out on to a veranda/patio overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean every day?! The pace of the tour was good. This being our third tour with Collette, we really enjoy the free time to explore the small towns and eat in the smaller pubs and cafés. Perfect opportunity to take plenty of photos, too! Our tour manager, Tracy Allyne, was OUTSTANDING! She is a wealth of knowledge and shared that knowledge with so much enthusiasm! She was so pleasant and genuine. From the moment we met her to the minute she put us in the car for our trip to the airport she was wonderful. My husband was not feeling well one evening and we did not attend the planned dinner. She immediately came to see us. She had tea and bread sent to our room. We knew we had a gem!! She knew every one of the travelers by name. She even managed to teach us a little Italian! She and our driver, Antonio, worked extremely well as a team. We would highly recommend this tour and would hope that the group would be lucky enough to get The Dynamic Duo of Tracy and Antonio!!Dorothy M. Gallant

I think that considering the price of the tour compared to what was actually included was rather expensive. Also, I think that the tipping expected at the end of the tour was unreasonable.

The tour was flexible enough to meet everyone's needs. We took advantage of every optional excursion possible but never felt overwhelmed. We still had many opportunities to explore on our own or take some quiet time away from the group. Our favorite experiences were touring Pompei with knowledgable guides and also wandering the local area of Ravello and Scala. We found a charming local restaurant, Borgo San Pietro that I highly recommend.Pat

The hotels were not good. Not well maintained. Our shower flooded the floor due to the missing gasket on the bottom of the door. Plus old uncomfortable mattresses.

The accommodations in Amalfia were exceptional, Rome was ok but last night in Rome was awful. The airport and Delta employees were awful on return trip. But the most memorable was the Coliseum, Paestum, and Pompeii. Our group of people were the best. Sweet, thoughtful and we all looked after each other.Jessica
