New York Tours and Trips

This was my first experience with Colette tours, and I will definitely be booking another tour with them. Every aspect of this trip was done, planned perfectly, with no hidden expenses. All a person had to do, literally, was show up . There was never any question or confusion as to where to go, when to be there, Etc. The variety of things we did and saw was very interesting and planned very well. Never felt rushed, yet still had some down time, just enough to not start to wonder what to do. All of the included meals were excellent . Any tour guides, drivers we had were very knowledgeable, down to earth, very likable, making sure all travelers could hear as any tours moved along, via the earbuds sound system. This was really nice, because even if you were way ahead everyone or way behind everyone, you could still hear what the tour guide was saying, making it possible for everyone to move at their own pace. Regarding our accommodations, the location was perfect. Not much room to move around in the room itself, but not a big issue; we were not in our room much anyway. It would be nice if, in the lobby area, there would be complimentary water and coffee or, at least, a bubbler or place to fill up water bottle. Can't say enough about Colette tours. Even prior to booking, there is full disclosure/video of exactly what you will be doing, what you will be seeing, where you'll be staying, how you'll be getting around, what is and/or isn't l included in the price. Looking forward to my next vacation with Colette Tours.

All accommodations were fantastic. Absolutely loved the shows and all the Christmas lights. One complaint I have is our tour guide, Don, was very rude and disrespectful to a few of the elderly people on the tour. I was shocked and upset on his tone with how he treated them.

Very well organized and balanced tour with exceptional tour guide (Eileen Coloretti). Favorites were the walk through Central Park West on a beautiful sunny morning after a snow, the Rockettes spectacular, seeing two other shows, and much sightseeing (Christmas decorations, landmarks)done via bus, which helped these 70+ yo bones.

Favorite experience was seeing the Rockettes Holiday Show. It was fabulous! The bus tour from the 9-11 Memorial was extra lengthy, we thought. Not sure if it was traffic or construction or what(?), but it seemed it took us at least an hour longer to get back to the hotel than it took to get there. The included restaurants were great. We loved our tour guide Robert Rubinski. Kathy Fil was very knowledgeable and interested in our experiences.

The New York City Holiday Tour on 11-15 December 2025 was AWESOME! Great tour guide Matt, great bus driver Franklin, and hosts from KCRG-TV Joe and Terri Winters were amazing and made the tour very enjoyable and organized. We saw most of the NYC highlights and the Broadway musical MG The Musical was awesome. As far as my most favorite memorable experience was between the Rockettes and the Christmas lights in Times Square. They were amazing. We stayed at the Sheraton Hotel in Times Square and we could walk anywhere within 10-15 minutes. Plus, we even enjoyed the first measurable snowfall in NYC the day we visited the 911 memorial. Collette did a great job!

The excursions and transportation were well done. The free time worked well with our group. Most memorable experience was the Rockettes Show. Our tour guide Colini Isreal was exception! He was very knowledgeable. Professional, and humorous. His care and management of our large group was very well done. He had a way that was encouraging and kept the group on track. He earned a 15 on a ten point scale.
