Upscale 4-5 star hotels and lodges. Enjoy high-end service, refined comfort, and premium locations — ideal for travelers seeking extra indulgence.
This tour was exceptional and I selected it because of the location, activities, and Collette's reputation. I received so much more.
I highly recommend taking the 2 optional tours offered because these are very unique and indicative of the area and culture.
My most favorite evening was the second home hosted dinner where we were warmly greeted and welcomed being allowed to explore the back yard while meats were grilled and wine served then indoors for tapas, more wine, dessert, and codials plus a video of the bull running celebration. It was like being with family.
The food walking tour in Lisbon was terrific as well as the Sulphur Springs at the botanical garden; both included in the tour.
Last but not least, the tour manager was exceptional, putting his heart and soul into each day to have it be special for everyone. He gladly wore many hats and pitched in at restaurants so we could have an easy, flowing experience. Joao held the tour together with his organizational ability.

Cultural treasures of Japan was full of sites and experiences that made a wonderful trip into the past and present of Japan. Excellent tour director shared her knowledge and humour. A great trip by Collette!
Our manager, Bernadette Welsh, was excellent and made the trip!! Loved Peggy’s Cove, quaint fishing village. Loved the Cabot Trail scenery and seeing lobster fishing boats come in. Loved the lobster dinner the best! Loved Anne of Green Gabels! Some accommodations were excellent (The Westin), but some were in need of upkeep. Overall, excellent trip!

The tour of Scotland was very informative due to the fact that we had an excellent tour manager. Before we would reach each destination she would tell us about the history, geography, cultural and any other pertinent information that could possibly interest us about our destination. One of the most memorable experiences was the border collie sheep dog demonstration. It was facinating to see how the dogs responded to the shepherd’s commands. To top it off he brought out a baby lamb and two border collie puppies for everyone to hold and pet.
The overall tour was wonderful. One of my favorite parts was our visit to Krk. I'm not sure why, it just drew me in. But all of our ports were great.
Siri was a great tour manager/guide. She was fun and personable.
I loved the size of the group. Perfect to interact with everyone.
I loved the boat/yacht. I want to do more tours like this.
The history throughout Croatia and Venice was amazing and I enjoyed hearing about it since I wasn't familiar with Croatia.
