Would neever use Collette again. My wife asked for an aisle seat because she's handicapped and walks with cane. I said I would pay extra for aisle seat for her. They assigned her to a middle seat on one side of plsne. I was piut across the plane in a window seat a couple rows up from me. At least 3 couples on our trip were assigned an aisle seat without asking. My wife called Air France and paid $488 for an aisle seat on the 4 flights. She said she was vegetarian but airline was never notified. Obviously., Collette doesn't want handicapped to travel with them. Airline said no one asked for aisle seat for her.

Enjoyed Cannes and Ephrussi De Rothschild and the trip to St Paul de Vence. French Riviera is amazingly peaceful and beautiful. Walking in the evening when the sun was setting may become my favorite memories.

Accommodations could have been better. No restaurant/lounge, no ice machines, tv in room worked on an occasional night (staff couldn’t figure it out). Most of the tours were pretty good. Our tour director, Val, was fabulous, fun and knowledgeable.

The extension flight from Nice to Paris was a huge problem. The airport did finally fix the problem but it was extremely stressful. The airport said our flight was not even listed. They had to find a flight for 6 of us. The other 2 came into Paris so much later and one of those people did not have his bag until the 2nd dsy in Paris. What a nightmare!

Would prefer direct flights even if costs more. I am 68 yes old and the fatigue caused by not direct flights, is too much. Really turned me off. Also our flight for excursion to Paris was not booked!!! We were all separated and had to book our own flights.. Very poor on your part.Elizabeth Cunningham

There was very little Stravinsky tour on the "tour". Not a bit of history, economics, culture or even restaurant recommendations. We were taken to places and told where and when to meet back and told to go ,"discover"on our own. We've been to 45 countries mostly with Grand Circle and we know it's supposed to be a lot more guided. Go my yourself and save the money if you want to look it up yourself online.

The first week in Nice, France on the Riviera was wonderful. Then went on the extension to Paris with 8 others from our group. The first day in Paris Myself and another man were robbed in the Metro leaving us with no cash. The rest of the time we used the Hop-On Hop Off bus to tour Paris which was much safer. Collette should not take elderly people on the "Metro" which is a haven for thieves. Metro is a dangerous means of transportation in Paris. Googled it and crime on Metro us up 200%!

Overall, the trip was very good. The hotel was was very nice, comfortable and clean and a good location. I wish there had been more included meals for two reasons....1. it allows people to get to know each other faster and 2. it makes the dining experience much more authentic. It was very disappointing that the Carnival was cancelled, but I know that is not Collette's fault. Some of the markets we went to were really very junky and it would have been nice to have had our boat ride in a much nicer boat. Although we visited a lot of places I felt like a lot of our free time was left wandering and shopping and although I love to shop I would have liked to have known more things we could have seen. For example, one place we stopped had a free Santon museum and also the Fragonand sp?? museum, we did walk through them but that was just because we stumbled upon them. Our guide was wonderful, the bus trips were wonderful, there were just some days that I wish the content had been more of an cultural experience.

Had my 88-year old mother and I had any idea about how active and demanding this trip was --- we would never have signed up. It was much too physically demanding for her, and she struggled to keep up. I, myself, had no problem with the activity level, and would have thoroughly enjoyed the trip, had I not been worried about my mother. I would definitely travel again with Collette --- but, urge you to ensure that the trip fitness requirements are made very clear from the beginning.Sandra Wallace
