Europe Tours for Experienced Travelers

A really enjoyable time spent on a beautiful island with a lovely group of people. The walking was quite strenuous as it was mostly climbing up or climbing down but our group leader Bert was very knowledgeable and excellent at managing the whole group so that everyone was happy and safe. It was lovely to be sat in a Square surrounded by palm trees on a warm and sunny Christmas Day having a drink after a day’s walking and it was good to finish with a trip to Mount Teide on Tenerife as we had seen its snow covered peak from La Gomera all week.

I will never travel to Europe again without a Collette tour. It was fantastic. I have always been the one to plan family and girlfriend trips and thought planning it on my own left more flexibility and saved money. I was wrong. With Collette, every detail was planned and perfect. It started with my luggage not making it to our destination. Within a few hours, my suitcase was delivered to my room. I loved not having to carry my luggage. Collette delivered it to the room after each stop and they picked it up outside our rooms early in the morning. Our tour guide, Petra was wonderful. She gave us an agenda the day before and we knew just what to expect. My group included four girlfriends and we went to the Christmas markets in December 2025. We went to five countries which was the perfect amount. In every city, we had an authentic dinner, went to a Christmas markets and had plenty of free time to explore. Each city had an expert tour guide from that city. Our hotels were all 3 & 4 stars with wonderful breakfast buffets and omlet stations. It was so much fun meeting other people from all around the United States. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this trip was.

The Markets were magical and the Alps amazing with snow. Making strudel with the group.. .horse and buggy ride with sheepskin blankets and schnapps. Castles, and painted art on homes in Obberamagau... Amazing everything!!!!

Excellent itinerary. Covered all the important places and attractions to see. Brilliant choice of Hotels and restaurants. Just a bit off route to Southern Italy to Sorrento before heading to the northern part. Overall amazing trip.

The itinerary was good. I think to make it better I would stay at some of the locations 3 days. The local guides are great! So much to learn from them. They really have an insight into the locations that we visited.

I really liked visiting & touring Opatica & Split. The lakes & waterfalls was not my favorite. I thought the walking there was very difficult. Also the organization of the trip gos phenomenal from the driver who transported us to the airport to the one who brought us back. Every attention to detail was met! Amazing. The food & restaurants chosen for us was quite tasty. The bus driver was attentive to our needs & there is just no way to say how excellent Andreas our tour guide was. Thanks.
