Simple stays with essential amenities. Typically guesthouses, hostels or hotels rated below 3 stars — clean, no-frills, and great for value-conscious travelers.
Upscale 4-5 star hotels and lodges. Enjoy high-end service, refined comfort, and premium locations — ideal for travelers seeking extra indulgence.
Enjoyed the agricultural sights and learning how they used the water and thermal heat for growing most of the vegetables they
eat.
Lots of waterfalls and glaciers to see.
Would do it again in a heart beat! Eileen was incredible—such an interesting personality and she knew so many details about everything. Jim also added a personal touch.
Only thing I would have liked that we didn’t have was a written list of possibilities for the free time we had—maybe walking times and any required reservations. The Broadway show (Chicago) was fabulous as was the Rockefeller Center show. But most unforgettable was the 9/11 museum and memorial. Thank you for putting it all together and making it easy for us to get around in such an amazing city. Merry Christmas!
I cant say enough about the actual sites,the tour guide and the driver!!! We were also a very large group and all were so fun and memorable! We always asked about the food and it was not so much part of the memory. The atmosphere of dining in the hotels and food was a 5 at the most. That would be my only disappointment.
This was a fantastic tour. We got to visit five National Parks, four of which we had not gone to previously. We got to see highlights at each park, but Yellowstone was something special. The variety of wildlife that we saw there was spectacular, including elk, bison, black bear and grizzly bear. The whole trip was memorable.

My mother and I had the most wonderful time on this 10 day trip to Hawaii! We went to three different islands and had the time of our life. We went to Pearl Harbor, we visited and toured the palace and had a wonderful buffet breakfast every morning.
We topped off our trip with a helicopter ride around Maui for 45 minutes! The trip to Hawaii with the helicopter ride completed my 85 year old mother’s bucket list! Our tour manager, Anne Marie was just wonderful! She was like family to us. She took care of us in every way and wanted us to have anything and everything that our hearts desired on this trip. We were amazed about how much she knew about Hawaii and the special places to take us.
I would definitely take a trip with Colette again and have Anne Marie as our tour manager!
Tour was a good picture of Switzerland with a combination of cities, villages, and mountains. The dip into Italy was nice for a chance of pace and scenery.
Our group was phenomenal. Our guide, Vili, did a wonderful job of creating a cohesive group that was supportive, friendly, and fun.
The Matterhorn had to be the best experience. Our time there was clear weather and just a very light snow…perfect.

I have travelled all over the world and this was of the best if not the best tours. The tour manager was knowledgeable, passionate and concerned about his clients and staff. Seeing all the animals in their natural habitat was amazing including the big five.

This tour was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it. The pace was perfect for me! Several nights in Costa del Sol and two nights in Madrid. Perfect! The tour manager Carmen was kind, thoughtful, fun, informative and entertaining! Some highlights of the tour were the home hosted dinner, where we met local woman Esperanza- and she cooked for us a veritable feast of traditional Spanish food. It was a meal I’ll never forget. I also enjoyed the Flamenco lesson! I went on this tour in December, and Spain was bustling with beautiful Christmas markets, and the streets were filled with decorative lights and festive music! This was my 6th Collette tour and they just are getting better and better!!!
