Europe Tours in March 2027

Balkan’s Route – Excellent trip from start to finish. Everything mentioned in the itinerary was covered, and the whole journey was very well organized. The guides were great—friendly and knowledgeable—and the hotels were comfortable. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable experience.

As an Explore veteran of many decades, this must rate as on of their best one week holidays. No long bus journeys or early starts. Two fantastic hotels, just yards from the sea and seconds from the nearest bars and restaurants. Our tour leader, Chantelle was exceptional in her knowledge, friendliness and humour. She was constantly looking for ways to make our trip even better and effortlessly adapted the itinerary if necessary. The trip was relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish.

This tour was excellent. Our leader Rocio and her intern Vince are lovely people with generous souls, who did everything and more to ensure that all in the group were valued and supported in the individual ways needed.. the hotel Maria Nova was a perfect base. The itinerary challenged my personal capacity but Rocio and Vince encouraged and ensured I was able to meet my challenge. A wonderful opportunity to really experience and understand the Algarve, its environment and its people. Finally, with a diverse group of travellers, there was opportunity for both group bonding and doing one’s own adventure!

The toor was good some of the spots needed more time to look around. Lapland was the best , Santa, the dog slead, and the reindeer sleigh ride, the resort was beautiful.food was good,

A lovely week enjoying the coastal footpaths of The Algarve with a very attentive guide, well organised local transport, and a good variety of easy walking trails & lots of wildflowers. The accommodation was well located in Sagres, with very helpful staff and it was good to have use of a kettle with little cakes, nuts, snacks available at all times. Having a 2nd coffee machine at busy breakfast times would have been nice but the selection of food was great.

Collette team scheduling airfare was unacceptable. Did not assist with finding another flight when had to call the emergency number due to flight cancellation. Missed a day of trip, hotel fee and when rebooked it was in coach when I paid extra $1000 for premium seats due to the long flight. Not helpful, spent entire day at airport then had to go home and return the following day. Multiple calls without resolution. Kept saying they couldn't do anything about the flights since we had checked in and the airline had to handle. Airline said they couldn't do anything since it was a 3rd party booking. It was terrible!!
