Guided France Tours

Well prepared and engaging tour director. Always available to answer questions and give us helpful tips on our journey. Driver exceptional navigating the roads, kept coach very clean and always there with a smile to assist us. Difficult to narrow down my favorite experiences…Barcelona tour guide and Dali museum guide stood out for their exceptional coverage. Girona, Besalú, Paul de Venice and Cassis were my top visits . Costa Brava hotel and Tuscan villa my fav lodgings but all included lodging and meals were a delight. Wine tasting venues along the way were also enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour!

Simona was an exceptional tour manager, always informative, kept us updated with the proper notice for the next event, and calm/collected. She brought so much peace to this fast-paced tour. Andre was an amazing tour navigator, very safe driver and always calm. We absolutely loved all the sights included with this tour. It's impressive all of the logistics that went into this tour, and how seamless it flowed. Highly recommend to anyone looking to travel and explore new places without the hassle of organizing transportation, hotels, and excursions.

All but especially Lourdes and being able to see the Pope! I have already completed one survey from Collette.

This was our first time in Europe, so enjoyed all sight. Wish inclusions would have included tour on Notre Dame in Paris. All tour guides were excellent, especially the Vatican guide, except for the one in Paris (she was rather boring and lacked enthusiasm!

Wonderful tour. Enjoyed everything with the exception of hotel in Venice, Paris local tour guide, and bad experience with dispatcher of ING Transport in US. Tour Manager was excellent. Fav memory was Florence, just exploring the town with my daughters who joined me on the tour.

Seeing the Pope was unexpected and wonderful.

Seeing the pope, of course. Wonderful Dinners! Amazing cathedrals—-Burgos, savrada Família

You could not have done better!

Our river cruise was wonderful. Collette and our tour manager were very adept and creative when the level of the water in the Rhine forced a change in our itinerary. Even on the short bus rides our tour manager found something to show us, which we would never have seen otherwise. We scheduled an extra day in Amsterdam at the end of our cruise, which allowed us to spend more time in this fascinating city. We will certainly be looking into another river cruise with Collette.

All the places we visited were wonderful. The hotels in Costa Brava and Tuscany were exceptional. The visit to the Carrara marble quarry and the truffle hunt were so special and memorable. One of our best tours.

Tour exceeded our expectations! Organized, friendly and fun tour director. Skilled driver who took great care of us. Lovely accommodations .…Costa Brava hotel and our Tuscan villa were the standouts. Favorite experiences included touring medieval walled hilltop villages, multiple wine tasting visits. Carrara quarry experience, truffle hunt and lunch in the family home. Our small group tour family was the best!

I loved all the experiences, the walk in the forest in chamonix was a hi-lite, the cable cars up the mountains, a stop in Thun, cheese fondue, to hear how the alpinehorn is made and played, the vineyard to hear about prosecio is made, meeting new, fun people, learning about history all facilitated by a wonderful, funny, patient, kind guide, Javier. He was exceptional.

It is hard to say what our favorite experience was. Everything about our trip was outstanding. Our tour guide Nuno was wonderful. He truly became our friend. We would have been lost without him. Thank you Nuno and Collett.

The hotels were great as were the meals that were provided. The itinerary Wes super. We would have never found some of the sites we visited on our own. Best of all was our tour director, Barbara Fumanori. She was on top of things all the time. She was pleasant and filled us with history and culture. It was a great trip

overall everything was a 10!

I think what I would say made the tour most memorable was our tour guide Urban! He was really amazing at keeping people on time, knowledgeable about the surroundings and quick to response to any inquiries no matter what it was related too. He was pleasant, full of extra “local” information and always respectful of time. We enjoyed the excursions we participated in along the way. The Effiel Tower menu was just ok.

The tour was everything I thought it would be. I was very thankful that we were able to experience as much as we did due to the low water levels. I would love to repeat this tour when everything went as described in the brochure.

I really enjoyed the entire experience, the crew and and tour managers were excellent. For me the best part was relaxing on deck and watching the scenery.

This was my first trip to Europe, and the tour was perfect for me! We visited so many different areas, with an overview of each. The local guides in most cities provided in depth information about that location. Our tour manager shared her extensive knowledge about each area, and this helped us to learn so much more each day than we would have learned on our own!

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.
