    It was an amazing experience but most important it was a very spiritual experience especially having been blessed with our parish priest who provided us with daily mass. Even had occasions for a rosary and some fun.

    Our tour manager Benedikt was the perfect combination of knowledge and personality and made our time on the motor coach so enjoyable! The hotels, excursions and pacing were excellent. We enjoyed our free time and felt safe wandering Bern and Innsbruck. We also enjoyed meeting new friends at breakfast, the group lunches/dinners as well as evenings in the hotel lobbies/bars.

    The whole tour was terrific and the group was fun and friendly but having Jacopo Surico as our tour manager made the trip the most memorable. His knowledge of history, organizational skills, wit and humor were exceptional! Enjoyed all the fabulous places that we toured and all the recommended restaurants in our free time during the tour. The entire trip was quite memorable , conveniently laid out and guided throughout so as to make for a seamless experience.

    Tour Rating:

    Everything was great from start to finish. I seriously cannot find anything wrong with this tour. Our tour guide throughout and our individual tour guides were terrific. I think I got spoiled for any other Collette tour that I take. If I had one negative I would say that the Radisson red in Berlin was a very tiny hotel, but very nice. I thought the hotel in Budapest probably was the most rude staff and not very accommodating. But the hotel room was fine The side tours were great. The activities were great.

    From start to finish this was an amazing tour. Our Tour Manager and Driver were absolutely fantastic. The hotel in Loen was definitely a standout, and offered one of the best included breakfasts/dinners I have ever had on a tour. Pacing was fantastic and we never felt rushed nor did we feel there wasn't enough downtime. Our local guides in Oslo and Bergen were second to none!!!! I can't recommend this tour enough.

    Fantastic overall tour. Got to see a lot of the country and experience a lot of the culture. If this is your first time to Ireland I think this is the tour for you. Take the optional excursions to maximize the experience. Lots of great food, drink, and dance awaits! The Guinness and Irish coffee are delicious. You won’t get to see everything because the tour is packed with adventure but what you see you will remember. Northern Ireland is especially interesting for history buffs.

    The tour of Türkiye was an excellent tour all around. The itinerary from visiting the ancient ruins, the different cities, watching an ancient religious ritual such as the Whirling Dervishes were fabulous. Collette even immersed you in the food of the area. I absolutely loved having lunch at a traditional Turkish family farm. What a lovely experience. Of course, the most memorable is the hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia. Our tour guide Ersen was beyond excellent his knowledge and passion for his country overflow not only to me but for our group.
