    I got to see a lot and do a lot which was my goal for this trip. However, the pace of the tour was way more aggressive than I would have liked. Moving from place to place every other day was exhausting. Also, I don't feel like I really saw the vatican. Between trying to keep up with the tour guide and the crowds, it was virtually impossible to take it all in. A lot of our group had trouble keeping up with the pace. Maybe Collette could arrange some tours for senior citizens. Maybe having more free time would have been great.

    The tour was great and the free time allowed was sufficient. However a more detailed itinerary for all days would have been nice to determine and make specific plans during free time in advance. I know this can be a moving target from time to time but I found some of the guests scheduled other tours outside of the Collette by guessing when they would be back to hotels to do so. I did not make plans as I was not sure from the vague general itinerary provided.

    There needs to be two days added to the tour...one in London and another in Lucern Switzerland. The only problem was with the other guides...they walked too fast and you had to keep telling them to slow down. All the places visited was excellent and we met a lot of wonderful people at each place we visited. Like the castle where they made wine and extra virgin olive oil, Eiffle Tower, Seeing London and the the Colosseum. The statue of David was very interesting and we got to see how the plaster ones were made. Overall it was a great trip and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to go to all of the places we went to.

    The tour was excellent! It included London, Paris, Lucerne, Andematt, Tuscany, Florence, Venice, and Rome. Our tour guide, Mojca was outstanding! She was so detailed and very knowledgeable. She was also very well organized, always anticipating the unexpected and being well prepared. I had so many favorite memories, but I really loved the Paris cabaret (so entertaining and colorful!) and the Seine River Cruise where the food was so delicious. I loved that Collete also hired additional local tour guides to show us around the local area, walking through the narrow streets and alley ways of Florence and Venice and seeing the little cafes and restaurants. I also enjoyed taking the Gondola ride in Venice, taking in the views of the water! It was so amazing to take in all the architecture and statues all over Italy, from the beautifully designed churches and basilicas ie St Peters in Rome and St Mark's in Venice, to the fascinating fountains (Trevi and Navona in Rome) and sculptures at the Relias Piazza Signoria (Rome). The wine tasting/lunch and tour of the old the castle in Tuscany was fantastic! Andermaat in Switzerland had the best hotel which was the Radisson Blu! It was spacious, modern and very clean. I wish the other hotels were a little more updated and closer to some of the meeting sites. We also stayed an extra night and did an excursion to Pompei and the Amalfi Coast....AMAZING!!! This trip was the trip of a lifetime and worth every cent!

    Each travel day (including train and bus travel day), each city, each walking tour, each day of the trip was a completely delightful experience. Each day had its own surprises and adventures and discoveries of places in cities across Europe. From London and walking the Tower Bridge, to the Chunnel to Paris and the Seine dinner river cruise and Eiffel Tower; to Switzerland’ beauty; to Venice and Merano Glass tour; to Florence and the David; to Rome and more delicious food than you can imagine; the Treasures of Europe Tour is the best walk-through of all Europe’s best cities!

    The tour was great however we would’ve liked it better if we were able to stop and actually visit some of the sites instead of riding by. Several hotels had bad plumbing for the hot water would be fine then come out cold then hot again. The food tour is meager for the sites were few and not worth the food was small portions. The Luxembourg was too quick and disappointing for we visited the site but only to use a small bathroom.

    The tour was great, we had a bad experience with our flight getting to London. Flight from Austin with connection in Dallas was cancelled, couldn’t find another flight on American so they booked us on a direct flight on British Airways but our checked baggage did not get transferred over even though we had to wait 8 hours for the British Airways flight. Didn’t get our luggage until half way through trip. That was a total inconvenience and had to buy clothes. Just getting that all sorted out, having to make multiple calls, etc was not fun.

    My favorite place was Lucerne, Switzerland, including the gondola excursion to the top of Mount Pilatus in the Alps; it was a most magical day. However, I loved every minute of this amazing tour. It had a very full itinerary, but I liked the fact that we fit in as much as possible. Our tour manager was incredible - so informative, helpful, fun, and interesting - plus she really took good care of us and looked out for us. Our bus driver not only handled extremely difficult traffic with ease and confidence, he became a special part of the tour group. Many dreams came true for me of places I have always wanted to see during this tour. For instance, I always thought it would be lovely to take a gondola ride in Venice. The wine and local food tasting at the fascinating castle in gorgeous Tuscany was another favorite adventure for me. As a side note, I traveled to England by myself, so it meant a slot to me that everyone in our tour group was so nice and inviting, plus some outstanding friendships were created!

    I thought the bus driver, our tour manager were both outstanding and things went very smoothly with all the tours and the logistics of all the travel. I think there could have been more in London on the group tour as we only did a 2 hour tour which I think we had more time to do more. Excluding the river boat dinner cruise in Paris, we were very disappointed in the dinners included in the group meals. The food quality was poor. I realize you were trying to meet a certain price point but we would have rather you charged.a little more and had better quality or had less dinners included. We would rather go out on our own and experience the true food of the region versus getting banquet type and poor quality food.

    The itinerary was excellent and pace was about right with a push, but then the right amount of free time. I would prefer a few more meals included. Also, the accommodations in Venice need to be on the canal, not on the mainland as there was too much time spent in getting to and from.

    The tour was fast paced but we had an inclusive overview in all cities we visited. We now know of areas we’d like to visit in more detail.

    Our tour guide, Javier was wonderful. He kept us informed and exceeded our expectations. I don’t think the trip would have been so enjoyable without him. Having everything planned for us and transporting our luggage from one place to the next allowed us the freedom to enjoy our trip without any worries. I would definitely travel with Collette again.

    The tour was great and the free time allowed was sufficient. However a more detailed itinerary for all days would have been nice to determine and make specific plans during free time in advance. I know this can be a moving target from time to time but I found some of the guests scheduled other tours outside of the Collette by guessing when they would be back to hotels to do so. I did not make plans as I was not sure from the vague general itinerary provided.

    Apart from some personal errors in planning, the most memorable experience was the sense of awe and wonder I was left with. Never in my life have I been able to see and experience such magnificent works of art and human creations larger than life.

    My wife and I have sent in a 2-1/2 page letter expressing out concerns to Collettes guest services (U.S.) and are awaiting a response. We tried to download it here but it would not paste. It seems you are only really interested in seeing/hearing good/excellent responses. Should you be interested in the letter in it's entirety let us know and we will gladly email a copy.

    There needs to be two days added to the tour...one in London and another in Lucern Switzerland. The only problem was with the other guides...they walked too fast and you had to keep telling them to slow down. All the places visited was excellent and we met a lot of wonderful people at each place we visited. Like the castle where they made wine and extra virgin olive oil, Eiffle Tower, Seeing London and the the Colosseum. The statue of David was very interesting and we got to see how the plaster ones were made. Overall it was a great trip and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to go to all of the places we went to.

    Enjoyed the bus tours, watching the glass blower, loved the dinner canal trip, enjoyed going to the castle where they made wine and extra virgin olive oil. The Colosseum was something else...picture do not do it justice. Enjoyed seeing the statue of David. The sites from the Eiffel Tower were amazing.Overall had a great time.
