Our tour was excellent. The Tour Director, Luis Morales, was more than 5 stars. Madrid is a clean, safe and beautiful city. Granada was magical, Valencia by the
sea was lovely. The food was always fresh and tasty; the wine did not stop pouring. There was much walking but none of the seniors complained. In fact, they walked more than I did. The hotels were 4 and 4-1/2 stars but that is what makes Collette affordable. Brush up on your Spanish a little but most all speak English. I would highly recommend this trip. Flamenco night was fabulous. Ole!
The best was the countryside and being in a small community. The glaciers were great. All of the tour was great and very memorable. Nancy Thomsen was wonderful and the bus driver Tomas too.
The river cruise was excellent and we enjoyed it greatly.
That said, for a group of seniors some of the walking was difficult. Everyone managed but up hills was hard in some.
The other issue on this trip was the lack of time for retail therapy. Either there wasn’t any time or it was brief. Our group always loves a few souvenirs but we just didn’t have time in some places.
We had a walking tour of Cologne but only 15 minutes for the Cathedral. It wasn’t anywhere near enough time. If I’d realized we continue walking but end up back at the Cathedral, I would have just stayed there. That was my biggest disappointment. As well as being in Strosbourg in a Sunday but unable to visit the Cathedrral at all. The line to get in was incredibly long and we didn’t have enough time to wait.
Both of these issues were very disappointing for me as I’d looked forward to seeing both.
Aside from those 2 major issues, it was great! Food was excellent and staff was as well. Marcus Graff is wonderful!
Everything was memorable! Learned so much history from the different cities that we visited. Felt safe at all times. Delicious food. Made new friends, including the tour manager. Had a beautiful time.

Yellowstone was incredible - the numerous hot springs and giesers plus the bison everywhere made for a very interesting landscape. Old Faithful was right on time!l

The accommodations at Bovey Castle were amazing even though the room was hard to locate at first 😉; excursions were wonderful and the tour guide and bus driver were excellent
