France and Germany Tours and Trips

This was the trip of a lifetime—it opened up the world to me and gave me more confidence to solo travel. I LOVED having the itinerary planned out and all of the logistics handled by our excellent trip manager. It helped me turn my brain off and truly enjoy my vacation. Also was so relaxing to travel between cities by train. We had the perfect balance of planned activities and free time that helped us pack just the right amount of action into each city. I especially loved Free Time Add-Ons like the Moulin Rouge and a bonus cruise on the Seine to see the Eiffel Tower shine (arranged by our trip manager when our plans hit a snag!) Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to explore and connect with others!

Maybe one less night in the loire valley and increase Paris by one night. There’s just so much history there. Omaha Beach region and its museums Had a fair amount of difficulty understanding our street guide in Tours. She had a very strong accent to a point where earbuds weren’t helpful. Just the right amount of free time especially in St Malo. Our guide, JP was exceptional!

Beautiful bike ride along the Danube. The trails are well maintained, well marked and easy to ride. They provided us with everything we needed, booked great hotels and our bags magically appeared at each hotel at the end of the day. We will definitely use them for future trips!

The tour was very well done in regard to free time, meals, tours. The guides were organized and helpful. The walking tours were wonderful and informative., The walking pace was good. Our accommodations were close to restaurants and shops. I would definitely go on another Colette tour.

The trip has been put together extremely well. We travelled on public transport wherever it was possible, in line with Expore's green policies. The visits to the various food and wine establishments were excellent and very informative as well as the tastings we had in the local markets.

Great tour and fantastic tour manager! Ben anticipated and met every need and was so knowledgeable about everything. Couldn't have asked for anyone better. Enjoyed the included tour highlights as well as Ben's advice about activities and dining for unscheduled time.
