Lori A. | Traveled in December

5.0 - Excellent

Communication, accommodations, itinerary, and knowledge-it was all spot on! From the moment we requested information about the trip Collette had it covered. Our tour guide emailed before our trip providiing a touch of friendship and detailed information, Collette’s written packet kept us in the know while our tour guide’s daily written and verbal updates gave us peace of mind knowing step by step details. Our tour guide listened to the group and added either more guided site seeing or more free time as desired. It was truly a magical experience

The BEST thing about the entire tour was the tour guide and the organization. Thanks to Collette, we were never left wondering what we were doing next!! I felt safe and cared for. My favorite memorable experience was seeing newly cannonized St. Carlo, in Assissi.

Collette and the tour Manager, Max was outstanding with service, care for every detail for the comfort and experience of the group. My favorite part was the trip to Assisi and the added inclusion of visiting St. Carlo Acutis body. Thank you for all the planning and preparation to make this pilgrimage a 1 in a lifetime experience.

Our experience was great! The tour manager, Laura, did an outstanding job as did our tour manager, Anna Lisa, in Rome. They both went above and beyond the call of duty. The trips to local farms, the winery, and the Vatican are memories that will stay with me always.

Our tour guide Laura Pagano was so amazing!!! She always took care of every detail, especially every ones dietary restrictions!!!! She was very helpful and personable. We felt like her family!!! I especially loved how well she kept us informed of our upcoming activities and our schedules. She is a pure gem!!! We stayed for the extension in Rome and Anna Lisa was also truly amazing!!! She helped us find some of the sites in Rome not on our tour. I honestly don't believe we would have had the confidence to find those places!!! That would've been a shame since those were some of my best memories!!! I also loved how she kept us safe in a big city keeping us from unknowingly wandering into areas we should not be! Anna Lisa is so very special, she even helped us celebrate my husbands 70th birthday the last night there!!! Collette is so very lucky to have tour guides like Anna Lisa and Laura!
