The tour included many nice stops. The tour guide was very young and inexperienced, however, he made the tour enjoyable. The stop at Elvas was awful. The town was vacant and nothing was open for dinner. We had to eat at the hotel but they weren’t prepared to feed the entire tour group. That was poor planning! The hotel was beautiful but my room overlooked what looked like a slum with barking dogs all night. My favorite spot was Peñíscola where I would have like to spend more time. Also would have liked more shopping time alotted. Otherwise the trip was very nice and I would recommend it.
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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this entire tour from the beginning planning stages to the end of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the option of having transportation provided from my house to the airport at the beginning of the tour and the transportation provided from the airport back to my house after the tour.
In addition, it was nice to have my baggage handled from hotel to hotel and during our stay at each hotel. What a great experience to have that also included as part of the tour as well.
It seemed to me that all the people on the tour bus were friendly and easy to get along with. Those relationships that were formed during the midst of the tour made it all worthwhile. I believe that I could definitely travel with a group of people like that on another tour.
Lastly, our tour Manager Paula Richter, was absolutely fabulous and amazing. As far as I am concerned, she really set the tone, the standard and the bar high. I didn't know what to expect going into this trip but in hindsight I do now. Any other guided tour I take in the future will be held up to this standard that was set. I will be going into it with a clear expectation of what a tour should be like as a result of this tour.
Michael, by far, handled that motorcoach with much skill and God given talent. No time during that tour did I feel as if I were in danger or harm's way. Because of his ability to handle that bus the way he did I felt comfortable the whole time and was able to fully engage in enjoying the views that this Colors of New England tour was set up and designed to do. He was beyond kind, helpful, and respectful throughout the whole tour.
I am so thankful and grateful to experience this tour with Collette. Collette showed me what a guided tour should look and be like. Thank you Collette.

The tour provides a sampling of the shrines of Italy. I wanted to see the home of Padre Pio and was not disappointed. I was lucky enough to experience a spiritual light here My son died of cancer and followed Padre Pio and it was here I finally knew he was at peace and so was I . The stories of the Nazareth at the church in Lareto was amazing. It would have been nicer to spend more time there. This tour is not for people who cannot do stairs, some of the churches require walking up and down. Food in some of the places was was like banquet food and was terrible at the dinners. The pasta was great but some of the meats were horrible, some of the food was oversalted. Breakfast was the best.

I was very happy with the tour. Very good experiences that showed me not only the scenery it the culture of the countries. I loved being able to see the alps up close. But the best part of the tour was the free time that was given us to explore on our own. Our tour guide gave us many suggestions as to what we could do.
