Tour manager, Federico Alvarez, was outstanding. He made the whole experience better.

The entire tour was an incredible experience. Every stop was filled with history, culture, architecture and always a culinary jackpot. A few of the many favorites are the Prosecco vineyard visit with a pasta making class instructed by an authentic Nona. The entire group prepared the pasta from scratch and then enjoyed the fruits our labors for dinner. We also had a wonderful evening at the home of an Italian Noble. Although they no longer hold titles, the home or estate had been in the family for over 500 years. Jacopo Shared his families history that dates back over 1000 years. After filling our minds either knowledge and eyes with amazing artwork and design, we were served one of the best meals in life. In short, this experience has me wanting to return to Italy so that I can continue the experience into other areas and maybe just stay forever.

Frederico was awesome and made sure everything ran smoothly. ! Would have preferred a hotel that was walkable to shops and cafes. Hotel food could have been better.

Pasta making was great. Most of the meals were good. Dolomites were wonderful.

Making pasta

Dinner with the Count at Villa built in 1535! Also the prosecco vineyard tour and making pasta. Wonderful tour!!!

This tour is an excellent way to see key locations in Northern Italy. Our tour manager, Cenzia was wonderful. Her knowledge of the area, the sites visited, and history really made a difference. That coupled with her genuine enjoyment of her tour group and the energy brought to ensuring everyone was having a good time was fantastic. Very highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic trip. We loved everything- the people, food and sites.

I loved the Dolomites it was a great day seeing the mountains ️. I loved that the tour guide and bus driver had such great insights into the area . The whole tour was a great experience.

Verona was the best

Hotel accommodations were Spartan, Bed was not comfortable and hotel food was very disappointing…below average to average. On tours when we arrive a city, we would usually have a short walking tour and be on our own for about four hours… For lunch and shopping. Ha ha all the shops closed from usually 1230 to 4 on tour to the dolomites our lunch consisted of spinach, gnocchi, and a slice of strudel all in all very disappointing as where the hotel accommodation. Right spot was tour guide Luca. He was delightful and well informed give him an A+.

Our first time in Italy, and couldn’t imagine it being any better than what we experienced on our Collette tour. Our tour manager, Tonia, was a rock star! She shared so much historical information about the areas that we went to, all from memory - very impressive! We really enjoyed being able to stay in the same place every night for the entire tour. So many beautiful places - we wouldn’t hesitate to use Collette again.

Loved every minute of this trip which was organized down to the last detail. The trip was perfectly curated. The guide was friendly, accessible, knowledgeable and accessible. The tour of a villa, including dinner was a highlight, as was the pasta-making lesson and meal at a ‘green’ vineyard. It was wonderful to have everything taken care of.

The itinerary was excellent and the tour guides were super knowledgeable.

Being my first experience in Europe, it was perfect and absolutely memorable.

Everything was memorable! Learned so much history from the different cities that we visited. Felt safe at all times. Delicious food. Made new friends, including the tour manager. Had a beautiful time.
