Budapest Tours and Trips

The tour was fabulous, the accommodations and excursions were excellent and our guide was knowledgeable and her love of and passion was evident in all she did. She was the best!

Patrick was wonderful and so knowledgeable! We enjoyed this tour immensely and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the Christmas Markets!! We just wished that we had 1 more night in Vienna, there is so much to see and do there.

John Phillipe Rosse was probably the best part of the trip because he made it fun, informative and stressfree. He went above and beyond. Each of the city guides were equally helpful in learning things about where we were. Hotels were fantastic. Bus driver, Lukasz was superb. Dining was better than expected. Grandior Hotel had super tiny linens and beds was the only disappointment but the hotel was lovely. I am amazed how you can put together such a fabulous trip at such an affordable price. Would go again and will recommend Collette. One thing we did learn was that Collette is only as good as the person who is the original point of input. 2 others on our trip, along with us didn't have any of our frequent flyer Elite status input (but was provided more than once) and we were not told about British Airways seating policy which requires you to PURCHASE a seat, even if booked in first class or you might pay for first class and end up in economy or not even board the plane at all because they always oversell. It wasn't until a couple of days prior to departure that we realized there were no seats for us and British had no info on us. So seats that should have been free with our first class ticket purchase and Elite status, ended up costing almost $1000. But, we made it.

I really liked the small, middle of nowhere, place we learned how to make strudel at. It’s one of those things you’d never find to do online or anything like that. JP was amazing and our group was just very great all together.

Beautiiful tour, Christmas is lovely there. Many amazing tastes and experiences, and so many things I would not have found and experienced on my own. Wonderful and educational as well.

Patryk was very knowledgeable and detailed. He reached out to everyone in the group to make sure we were able to do and see things on our own. He also made himself available via email during the trip (for the after-hour questions or concerns).
