Overall, this tour was an incredible experience. We had the opportunity to have some unique experiences. Our favorite was having lunch in a 200-year-old villa that had been renovated. Going truffle hunting was an amazing experience as well. Our tour guide, Allesandro, was fantastic and made the trip very memorable.

Great tour, Better tour Manager Antonella Regi

The tour manager and coach driver were both excellent and made the trip so easy and interesting. The stops to see olives being pressed, or how cheese is made, or truffle hunting were great fun and only possible with a smaller group. We enjoyed the experience.

The itinerary was wonderful. Our tour Guide, Alessandro, was outstanding. Loved the unique experiences like lunch at a family country estate, cheese farm & tasting, winery tour & tasting and olive press tour & tasting.

The itinerary was perfect! The tour manager, Giulio, was simply the best. So caring, so knowledgeable, so generous. Favorite experience was truffle hunting! We struck gold with the dogs. Great time!

Wonderful. Enjoyed all tours and activities. Tour guide Dario was informative and enjoyable for the entire experience We had a wonderful group that got along and made the entire experience remembarable forever

Absolutely! Our tour guide Darrio P. made the trip both informative and enjoyable.

Great tour manager and excellent selection of venues

Beautiful Italy countryside, delicious fresh food, wonderful people on the tour, wonderful tour guide and driver.

All accommodations and experiences were wonderful. I liked the balance of free time and planned activities.

The tour was absolutely as promised - balance of hands on experiences & visiting historical sites with free time, great accommodations with stays of 2-3 nights. Excellent tour manager & top notch driver. All details covered - appreciated door to door service!Hard to name only 1 thing - but highlight was our meal prepared in an Italian family’s home - best meal, awesome setting & such gracious & welcoming hosts. Memory of a lifetime!

Attentive trip and great facilities.

Outstanding service, really good tour Director and wonderful locations to visit and nice hotel.

Tour manager was excellent. Only thing I would have wished differently was better AC, but realize it is not necessarily important in Italy the way it is in the US.

Already written and discussed3

Awesome experience! You’ll love this tour.

everything was top notch.

There is no way we could have planned a trip on our our and packed so much in 12 days. It was a great variety of experiences!

Other than our flights which, in one case were booked too closely and we missed our connection (and I HAVE YET ago hear back from Collette), and on the way home the trip was WAY TOO LONG). The rest of the trip was great! I loved visiting the small villages with a city or two peppered in.

The guide and driver we had during the whole trip were outstanding. Mariangela and Pasquale made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. All of the experiences and local guides were excellent.

We really enjoyed the overall tour experience.

I loved seeing how olive oil was made! It was so fun to spend time on the farm and learn from the people who are doing it.

All of it; small group, exceptional tour guide/manager.

See above comments. Tour was disappointment.

Wine tasting and cooking class plus meals

The history , wine and cooking class.

Luciana Lyons was a huge part of the success of this excursion. Her bubbly personality was infectious and she made everyone feel special. Her commentary throughout the trip was interesting and informative. We all loved her!!!

I bought 4 bottles of wine, olive oil, soap made with olive oil, and two blouses. i am very happy with all my purchases.

Excellent tour of smaller, less visited hilltop towns.

Every day was busy, hot and tiring but absolutely fantastic. We had good local guides at each of the towns we visited. The hotels were very good and the included meals were excellent. The cookery class was really good.

I like the smaller group. This is the first tour I've been on. Most of my travel has been with one to four people with a personal tour guide. It was fun to meet new people and learn about them.

Countryside breathtaking.

We were treated with great love and caring by our guides.

The tour moved smoothly from one experience to the next. Our tour manager was full of valuable suggestions for interesting ways to utilize our free time. Staying in the smaller towns allowed me to feel less like a tourist and experience the daily life of a local.

This was of the best tours I have taken. From the minute we met our tour guide Siblia I knew my friend and I were going to have a fantastic time. All the hotels, the tours, the people on our tour and the people that we met, to the bus driver Luigi and the local guides it was a win win tour. No wonder Collette is celebrating 100 years in the travel business. Happy Birthday Collette and thank you for a wonderful trip.

Loved the regions we visited and the ability to obtain a intimate perspective of the culture and people that lived in the country and hill top towns. Beautiful vistas and experience.

Meeting the people at the wineries and the cooking class and at the olive oil grove and the wonderful food.

Dinner with Umbrian family. Tour of the winery & olive oil farm.

Everything to cooking class and visit the family farm.

Lunch at local Italian family. American husband / Italian wife that rebuilt a stable into a lovely home. Delicious meal prepared by Italian grandmother.

Lunch with a local family in the Umbria Region.

Lunch hosted by Italian family at their country home.

Everything about the trip was perfect, very talented and knowledgeable local guides made all the visited sites memorable. The tour manager was able to make the tour a very pleasurable experience.

Read our review. We were an English speaking group and our Collette guide seemed to ignore that fact, so did the bus driver. The countryside was beautiful and the 1st wine tasting was nice. The 2nd was unacceptable. Florence and Assisi are beautiful places. Local guides were ok but seemed to think the only thing we wanted to see were churches! The home hosted lunch was very nice.

Siena and getting to the airport! We were signed up to see the Leonardo da Vinci museum and the tour guide said she knew nothing about it!

Lunch at a private home with an Italian family.

We loved the smaller group and focus on small hillside towns! Highlights include the visit to the olive oil farm, Carletti, where the intimate setting was marvelous as was the olive oil. The cooking class in Vallo di Nera was a lot of fun and laughs. The small town is worth walking around too. The meal at a home near Bevagna was spectacular! What an idealistic home and place to live! The small towns and history the represent was also fabulous like the fortress town of Monteriggioni. Assisi and its history, cathedral are amazing and inspiring. Saint Francis is fascinating as he didn't start off as such a nice young man, but he certainly grew into a very special person. Learning of the painter Giotto who painted fresco's in the Assisi cathedral and was also the architect of the Florence bell town was beyond description. We also made some very nice and fun trip friends, Mary and Nancy, who made the trip more enjoyable with many laughs. Our tour manager was exceptional, *Personal details removed by Feefo*, and in addition to his tour management capabilities, he can sing beautifully. The weather during our tour was cooler than I expected so it's a reminder to be very prepared for expended cold weather or it could have gotten warm and Italy mandates no A/C until 6/1. We recommend this tour and Collette.

If you can't sleep, you can't enjoy touring being weary! Tour seem to be pinching pennies as you had to buy water on the but.

The tour of Siena was wonderful and informative and the city is beautiful and different. I really enjoyed this day.

Best vacation we have ever taken! Our tour manager, was very knowledgeable, organized and entertaining. We were able to go to places that we would have never found on our own. Loved the local guide, Romana. Lunch at the private home was outstanding. Everything about the trip exceeded our expectations!

My favorite day was the trip to the olive oil factory and the cooking class.

A very well planned tour with a varied itinerary. Nice pace. Wonderful guides. Excellent hotels. It may have been luck that the group was small and particularly congenial. The entire experience was delightful. My favourite part was the stay in Umbria where we stayed in lovely Spoleto and visited places I doubt many tourists find.

I think my favorite memorable experience was hunting truffles in Umbria, and the delicious home- cooked lunch after the hunt. Also staying in the Umbrian hill town of Spoleto was awesome. And I have to include our morning spent in San Gimignano, looking at the ancient towers and eating authentic Italian Gelato. Having a small group and a great tour guide made the tour a great experience that I would highly recommend. Thanks, Collette!

Winery visit. Also, getting educated from our tour guides.

Excellent trip with free time to explore on your own and plenty of included tour, interesting sights and great step on guides. Our guide, Ben was very, very good. Highly recommend this tour

This was not a good tour. There was an absolutely horrid hotel on the tour The Relais San Clemente that was a nightmare. Collette did nothing to help us change rooms. We had to stay there 3 nights. It was dirty and disgusting. It pretty much ruined most of the tour for us.

The Tuscan Umbrian countryside was fantastic. I shared a room with a friend. I wish I had my own room. The tour was very rigorous. I wish we had some downtime. We were up early, and on the bus by eight or 9 AM going all day long. Back to our hotel by three or 4 PM. It was very rigorous and sometimes exhausting, lots of walking on hard cobblestone brick like roads. The tour manager was very generous and informative. She did a great job. Her name is Sibi. I would not do this rigorous tour again. I would look something that was more relaxed and easy-going. I did see a lot of things I would’ve never seen before, but I was very tired at the end of the day. Collette was very organized, though I have to say the door-to-door limousine driver was excellent. I just think for my age at 70 years old it was a little bit too scheduled. Overall, the flights were great and everything went very efficiently. I appreciate seeing the little towns and hearing about all the history, like I’ve said over and over I wish we had a little more downtime. thank you, Collette. I think you’re a very good company with integrity.! Everyone I’ve talked to on the phone has been so friendly and kind. You have great customer service.!!

Musroom tasting al fresco

Beautiful weather, scenery, and hotels. The food was good too! Very educational demonstrations of cheese making, truffle hunting, wine tasting, pasta making, beautiful cathedrals, and art.

All the city tours and ample free time to explore! The best of the tour was the unexpected: olive pressing, farmhouse luncheon after truffle hunting, pasta making and the wine tasting experiences! Truly the best tour ever!

The comprehensive immersion into the culture and family life during the truffle hunt was the absolute best! Seeing the beauty, walking in the hills with the dogs, and seeing how the community truly lives off the land was very inspiring. The hosts were so open and patient with our many questions. The food was incredible and the overall experience will forever be a special memory for us.

I would like to see more interaction with real Italian people and their lives, not so many ruins and churches.

Everything about our experience was top notch. We experienced things only locals would experience. We also were given enough free time to get out and do couple things which was important to do. Loved it !

An amazing experience - spending time with families that live and work there was especially awesome - the truffle hunting experience was probably my favorite - so unique - the people of Italy are very welcoming and I love the food - Alessandro, our guide, went above and beyond in making this memorable - hands down would travel with him again - hopefully, I will be visiting Italy again and I will definitely choose Collette Tours - Thank You!

Truffle hunting was the best part of the trip, but I just loved seeing all the old towns, churches, architecture, and the beautiful landscapes. We experienced little bit of everything, big cities to tiny villages in the countryside. I loved all the food. We ate fresh truffles and homemade pasta. We visited cheese, pasta and olive oil "factories" and a vinyard. The whole trip was an experience of a lifetime. Well done, Collette! And Alessandro, our tour guide was so fun and personable. Absolutely perfecto!

Our tour manager, Alessandro Pucar orchestrated an unforgettable experience for us. He was so personable, knowledgeable and entertaining. he and Carmena made a perfect team. Regarding the tour itself... Colette managed to give us just the right amount of walking, visiting small villages providing expert local tour guides, fun side trips such as truffle hunting, pasta making. We were shown so many sights that would not have been possible to see and enjoy without the guidance provided by Colette and our expert guides. I would recommend this fabulous experience again and again.

Truffle Hunt that included a breakfast and an incredible lunch. I enjoyed the stay in Spoleto. Because of the proximity of the hotel to the town, it was an enjoyable experience.

Wonderful trip! Very impressed with all accommodations and tours. The tour guide Alessandro was exceptional! So very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly. Alessandro is an asset to your company, would definitely request him as my guide in the future and would seek out a tour with him as the guide.

Our tour was great. Alessandro was an excellent Tour Manager. He was a wealth of information about the area and also gave us an Italian lesson every day!! My favorite experience was the truffle hunt. It was fascinating to watch the dogs and the truffle hunters dig up the truffles and the following meal was delicious.

The entire trip was memorable but being invited into someone’s home where we enjoyed a wonderful lunch and were treated like family was truly a memorable experience. Joe and Luciana were warm and gracious. The meal prepared by Luciana was delicious. Joe told us many stories of how a guy from Michigan ended up in Tuscany! We also met one of their sons who entertained us with a piano mini concert. A walk in their garden at the end of our visit was a delight. Small Group Travel is definitely the way to go.

Everything about the tour was wonderful. The group we traveled with was a fun group, the places we visited were awesome,, but it was our Tour Manager (Luke) who made this trip extra special. Based on my experience on this tour, I have been recommending Collette tours to everyone I know...

Our group clicked almost immediately and had a great time together. Our tour leader should teach other leaders how to do the job. Paolo was fabulous in bringing culture and music into our bus rides and was extremely kind and caring to all of us. The tour stops were always interesting with tons of history and art making for a great trip experience.

This was the perfect tour itinerary with the perfect tour inclusions! The whole tour was my favorite memorable experience!!!

Everything about our tour was incredible, informative and memorable. We were 20 on this tour and we all quickly became friends. Silvio, our tour guide, made each one of us feel special and was always excited to show us what something awesome that was around the corner. Thank you for putting together a perfectly detailed and vacation of our life.

My most memorable experience in our tour was the lunch with a local family followed by a piano performance by their son. The meal was delicious and the piano performance was magical.

Beautiful countryside, learned a lot of history

We loved the medieval cities through Umbria and Tuscany. Our Tour Leader Valeria was great and our driver Carmine was an absolute PRO. We loved Florence and would like to come back someday.

Outstanding tour manager and itinerary. Excellent local guides in Orvieto, Assisi, and Siena. Highlight was visit to and dinner with private family outside of Perugia. Wonderful hospitality, food and entertainment! Alessandro did a great job managing the tour, engaging the group members, striking professional balance and personal connections and interactions. He has a great fund of knowledge and command of history which he shares in a readily understandable interesting manner.

There were so many memorable experiences that it is difficult to pick just one. A special highlight was being invited into the private home in the Perugia area for a most delicious lunch. Our hosts (and a special surprise in meeting Joe, an American doctor) were lovely, gracious and welcoming plus their son treated us to some special piano music. Indeed a memorable experience in a beautiful Italian setting. The ATV ride through the Tuscan/Chianti countryside was so much fun - definitely an amazing experience. Visits to Florence need to be longer. We visited on a Sunday, it was extremely crowded and there is just too much to see and appreciate to only have part of the day there. Silvio, our tour guide was superb. So knowledgeable, kind and just a delight. Carmina (spelling?) our bus driver was so very nice and an excellent navigator. Patrick, our Rome tour manage was equally knowledgeable, kind and fun. The tour included so many of the cities and villages that I longed to visit and I will treasure every memory. FAVALOSA!!

The Pros: The Tuscan and Umbrian tour was fabulous! The Tour Manager (Giulio) and Driver (Carmine) were both amazing and made the tour even better. Loved visiting the small towns most of all and taking in the beautiful countryside. We had a fantastic time in Italy! The excursions were wonderful and informative, the food was great and the local tour guides were wonderful. Highly recommend this tour! The Cons: There were quite a few pre-tour changes made by Collette that affected and greatly increased the cost of the trip, changes to the flights/seating upgrades, a charge for airport transportation when the brochure and the in person presentation we attended stated that this was included, and one of the scheduled activities on the Rome extension was cancelled with no alternative planned or suggested for us. Very disappointing for us since we had paid for the Rome extension and were expecting to have a group tour of the highlights of Rome and that did not happen. So, for us, the cost of the Rome extension was not worth it for a Walking Food Tour (which was great!) and 2 nights in a hotel. Our friend's luggage was lost for 2 1/2 days, and Collette was not very helpful or proactive in finding out where it was and getting it to them. Our friend had to go back to the airport himself to try to get it resolved. Not enough layover time was scheduled on the way home for us to go through customs, security and recheck luggage, etc., and we missed our flight home and had to spend the night in Dallas. The airline employees even mentioned that the layover time was not enough. Not a good end to a great trip. The tour was great, but dealing with Collette regarding the price increase, the changes and lack of communication was not. The local contact was no help at all, not proactive and not a great communicator and did not seem at all sympathetic to the changes being made and the increase in the cost of the trip. This was our first tour, and while we were thrilled with the actual tour, we were very disappointed with all of the pre tour changes/increases/communication and the post tour flight issues.

The beauty of Italy made me want to live there, but Sylvio's surprise stops were a bonus and a wonderful, personal touch that only a native Italian would know. Exploring the alleys and sides streets in Trevi or Orvieto was so much fun, and our stop at the Florence American Cemetery just when they lowered the American flag and played "Taps" was very moving and appreciated.

This Italy tour was so very well planned. The countryside was beautiful and continued to be just lovely. Our hotel stays were in lovey hotels and for us very quiet. The side tours especially the olive oil family company and the in home dinner were excellent. Our tour guides locally were amazing and very knowledgeable. Patrick and Silvio were both very committed to our group and because we were with Silvio more, I saw him do and go the extra mile for all of us. He is a wonderful person. Also the bus driver gave us very calm and safe driving, Carmelo I think was his name. Stopping at the US WWll burial ground was most touching. I would have loved more shopping time especially in Orievo. That was my favorite town. Katherine, you are a master planner and I appreciate this trip so much. Chris also was so respectful and responsible as the ACMC guide. He watched out for all of us. Thank you again for a lovely trip and unforgettable. Dee Rogers

The hotels were all different from each other, clean, interesting and well located. Countyside gorgeous. Guide Sylvio was charming and patient and knowledgeable. Loved the personal visit to the hilltop villa and the olive farm. Lovely folks. ATV ride was the thrill of a lifetime!! The one pizza I had was the worst I have ever tasted. Really! Soggy. Nothing on it. (Not Colette's fault.) Other al dente fabulous. Just the right amount of time away. Loved being there! Travel tedious but worth it!!

I was pleasantly surprised that it was better than I expected; especially the visits to family-owned businesses and homes. The one thing I'm VERY unhappy with is that the agency did not include my TSA and Advantage numbers on the reservations. I had to wait in long lines without the TSA designation and am still fighting with American Airlines regarding credit for all of the flights.

Dining in home of Tuscan family. Such a lovely home, & family made us feel so welcome. Food was best we had on whole tour. Piano concert by their young son Thomas made the whole experience one to remember.

It a wonderful experience everyone should do it at least once. I can not pick one experience out of the the tour. One that comes to mind was or evening in Travi. After a full day we decided to get a light dinner. Recommendations were made. Well, somebody had a party and we could not get into any restaurants at all. The chef had already left for the day. Hotel manager made several calls - NO luck. she seemed stressed out as 23 guests wanted something to eat. No one was upset at all - she decided to call her chef back to the hotel. He fixed the best pasta and even some of the the guests helped set the table and helped served. Had the best time. the whole tour was exceptional. Guieleo our tour manager was fantastic and quite informative. We have been back almost 3 week - I think, anyway all of our books and souvenirs are still out and every time we sit to have a meal we talk about what a wonderful trip we had. AND we are planning another trip to Italy in 2025.

Guilio was a dream and this trip far exceeded my expectations!! 10/10!

Lunch at the home of a local family. It was a wonderful experience, the family, their home, the food! Their son played the piano for us and that was wonderful!!

Fabulous tour manager and bus driver! Great locations and activities. Can't think of anything negative to say! Thanks

Overall, this tour was an incredible experience. We had the opportunity to have some unique experiences. Our favorite was having lunch in a 200-year-old villa that had been renovated.
