Germany and Spain Tours and Trips

Pedro was an excellent guide - very efficient, organized and patient. He was well versed in the area and helpful with whatever needs we had. We were unable to do the incline in Switzerland, which I had already paid … (need a $$credit) due to the weather. I am terrible with surveys, but it was wonderful having him for the entire tour, including the extension in Vienna!

Amazing experience, Our trip lead, Ryan did an awesome job teaching and showing us these incredible destinations. Also our driver got us from point A to point B so safely.

Cynthia was a wonderful tour guide and happy to share her knowledge with us to have the best experience possible. Would definitely choose Collette again. We felt safe in another country and enjoyed all the sites. The only thing I suggest are in regards to the restraints: I would suggest for future trips to have a way to remind people with a list, email, or text for everyone to refresh themselves of their choice, Choosing meals a day or two in advance and on the bus can be a hurried decision that people may need to think about longer or people forgot what they chose and resulted in several meals resulting in meals being mixed up and eating what they didn’t choose. It would enhance the meal experience. Neither my husband or I would have chosen soup and were looking forward to a fresh salad and we both got the opposite main meal we had chosen. 1. The restraunt in Bern -I would not choose to eat French fries in 4 star restraunt and overall didn’t care for the presentation of the heavy cream sauce on the fries and steak. The fries were also overcooked and looked like a filler food. For an expensive meal I would have preferred a healthier vegetable. 2. The restraunt chosen for our last evening- we sat down and inquired if an alcoholic drink was included with the meal and was responded with a rude, snippy comment from the server that we would have discussed this prior with the tour guide. This started the evening off uncomfortable due to the aggressive server. Overall excellent tour. Thank you. Suzanne B

This was our first Exodus trip. We loved the group size (11) and its compatibility, mix of activities, and the incredible knowledge of the tour leader, Michael/Miguel. On most days we were out and about from 9 to 5. The terrain was lovely - hills and mountains surrounding rolling pastureland and olive farms. We saw and walked through so many white villages, and some of us took an extra 4 hour trip to Ronda, one of the most famous. The hiking was moderate. For me, the oldest by several years at age 75, it was at times tough because of the many ups and downs with the inclines occasionally too steep and long. The other 10 handled it with less trouble. Our tour leader, Michael/Miguel, knew everything about farming, geology, plants and animals and birds, and the history of the area. We all marveled at the extent of his knowledge! The farmhouse we stayed in was lovely with good food (the paella the last night was the best!), though the rooms lacked good lighting and the beds seemed a bit soft. This is a fun trip to go on for the activity, lovely scenery, and variety. We combined it with 2 days in Malaga and 4 in Granada and found every day rich and magical.

The tour was AWESOME! Our tour guide, Javier was totally AWESOME! It went by too fast. We didn't have enough time in the wonderful places, but it was GREAT!

For a person of faith these are inspiring shrines and gorgious basilicas. One should see ones in life time. Tour manager was excellent. The bus driver was great. I felt that bus travel for two days was a bit tiresome and time consuming. The hotels were great except at Lourdes. But it was close to the shrine, to have personally access to spend time. And so I sacrifice a bit of luxury when it comes to hotel at lourdes. On the whole it was excellent. I recommend any day.
