Service

Our tour guide, Stacey was wonderful! She was knowledgeable and friendly,and took care of any potential issues so quickly that we weren't even affected. My one complaint would be the booking of plane tickets. It was already long flights, then adding on long layovers at each place made it worse. Also, our tour packet from Collette was inaccurate in regards to included meals. So, it looked like we weren't supposed to get meals that we really were.

Tour

This was a wonderful trip! Perfect if you just want a taste of the two countries. The Sydney Opera House and Milford Sound were the highlights, for me. It was much more relaxed than other tours I've been on, with lots of time to explore on your own. We went during their winter season, so it was cooler, but not as crowded.

The Trip of a Lifetime!

Service

Everything was planned down to the most minute detail. The tour guide(s) were outstanding. They knew so much and we learned so many things we wouldn't have had we taken this trip on our own.

Tour

We toured Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji on the Southeast Pacific Tour. My favorite stop was the Lord of the Rings Tour in New Zealand. Stunningly beautiful scenery that was breathtakingly spectacular!

Trip of a lifetime - try Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji

Service

Everything about the trip was perfect! The amount of time in each city was excellent. Collette’s helpfulness through the numerous airports was much appreciated. The 2 drivers on the days on motor coaches (Sydney & to Milford Sound) were courteous & well informed. Our Tour Manager (Caryn) went above & beyond to make sure all details were handled & we knew what to expect in each city. She had maps available & offered varied suggestions on places to eat, shop, and see. The travel information received before the trip was very helpful.

Tour

The size of the group was perfect (22) - weather couldn’t have been any better - our Tour Manager (Caryn) was so nice and helpful. New Zealand was the best - air flight back from Milford Sound was awesome. Off- road trip around Queenstown offered amazing sights. We even chose to tandem paraglide off Coronet Peak - words can’t describe that fabulous experience!!

Bad information and bad service

Service

Initial customer service was poor. Incorrect information, mistakes, hard to reach. Insufficient hours of operation were inconvenient especially outside of the eastern time zone.

Tour

Having dinner with a local family was a nice touch.

Thank you for your feedback. Your comments have been forwarded to the Client Care Center. They will use your feedback to improve the pre-tour booking process.

Service

Travel guide was excellent. You could improve in having a person at Sydney airport to guide your travelers for flight connection to Cairns. The flight to Cairns was at the other airport and you needed a shuttle. It was very confusing, especially after a 15.5 hr flight and going thru customs. If you are going to Sydney for New Years Eve, spend to money to have a hotel close, so elderly people can see fireworks. Other than that, it was a wonderful trip!

Tour

Snorkling over the Great Barrier Reef, New Years Eve fireworks, visiting a farm in New Zealand, dinner with a local, Steamboat ride and all meals were excellent, except lunch on excursion to barrier reef & 4 wheeling in river. Queenstown is breath taking!

Great food and lodging

Service

Too many people on tour(lot's of time wasted getting on and off buses and airplanes) and will choose a tour company next with fewer participants.

Very professional

Service

We are not experienced travelers, so I don't have a lot of experiences to compare to. Our trip was well organized and all the prearranging, (airlines, visas, bus connections), were done without a hitch. Collette provides a limo service, witch is nice, ours was a 1/2 hour late, witch started off our trip a little nervous, but we made the plane on time, just in time, (don't think it was our drivers fault, not sure they gave him enough time to get to our house). Our tour guide was great, very personable, and competent.

Tour

Cairns I liked Cairns,Hartleys Croc Farm was good, Green Island was bad, very over crowded, diving was terrible, you can only dive where they tell you and that's crowded, and nothing to see. They should include the "Outer Barrier reef" (a $155.00 PP option) as standard, in my opinion. Sydney Beautiful city- Our Hotel was close to Darling Harbor. Enjoyed all of Sydney. New Zealand All of it is great - But really got blow away by Queenstown, it snowed twice while we were there, which made the mountains and the lake around there unbelievable. My favorite place!!

Amazing tour

Service

The tour was well organized, included what we wanted to see as well as experiences we couldn't have planned on our own. The tour manager, ***, was very personable and made every effort to accommodate personal preferences. The tour guides were knowledgeable and entertaining.

Service

There were too many people on the tour (41). The tour started later in the morning each day at 10:00. Most tours start earlier in the day. On free days we arranged for activities on our own with little help from the tour manager. Our most memorable days were those that we did on our own. For example, we booked a trip to a village up the coast from Queenstown and enjoyed a boat trip to see penguins, sea lions, dolphins, and amazing geology. That trip should have been included in the itinerary. This trip had too much free time, not enough learning presented by the guides, and too many people on the tour.

Tour

Optional tours were the best times so if someone did not buy optional tours, they would not have had many memorable events.

Wow and double Wow - New Zealand is so beautiful and trip was amazing!

This was our 5th trip with Collette and as in the past, it was excellent. The tour Manager was excellent. His name is Jim and he really helped everyone enjoy the adventure of the trip to Australia and New Zealand.

Tour

Wonderful trip, great guide!

Service

I enjoyed all of the activities that we did on the tour. Our tour director was great! My. Ingest complaint would have to do with the airfare. I found it very annoying to not have seat assignments ahead of the trip and what made it worse was the emails fro Collette telling me to check in online, but not being able to do so.

Tour

I really enjoyed our trip to Milford Sound. The weather was perfect, the scenery was fabulous and we were able to fly back to Queenstown to take in the beautiful scenery from above! The Jetboat ride was great fun! Visiting with a local family in Christchurch add for a very pleasant evening.

Tour

The Maori cultural center was excellent.

Always Go with Collette

Service

Collette came through again for me. On this my 8th tour, I had the best time ever. The tour manager, Jim was the best. He helped us with everything we were going to encounter. From the extra excursions to what was included it was an awesome time. If anyone wants to go "down under" Collette is the tour company to use.

Tour

The fiord cruise, jet boat ride and gondola ride in Queenstown were highlights. Actually the whole tour was a 5 star.

AWESOME TRIP! A must for your bucket list.

Service

The hotel location and services were key for me and they were excellent. Also, we were on 3 airline flights as a group and it couldn't have been easier or more organized. Loved the trip and already have recommended it to others.

Tour

The great barrier reef was my favorite.
