Italian Lakes Tours and Holidays

Enjoyed the pasta factory tour and lunch, as well as the changes in venue, from the business of Rome to relaxing Sorento and Stressa. Did not feel the experience for Murano glassblowing met my expectation; thought there would be more explanation of the skills of glassblowing & techniques. While making a purchase was asked which tour manager I was with, which implies they are getting a commission for sales. While in Stressa, a few people wanted to take the excursion to see the Alps, felt they were being pressured not to do it, but those who went really had a good time. Busdriver was also excellent, accomodating, and kind. When arriving in a new hotel, having a little more time to freshen up for dinner would be nice, did not feel appropriately dressed for dinner after traveling all day.

Italy was wonderful but made even more so by tour manager Ione and her team of local tour guides. We all loved her infectious love of Italy. She set the tone that brought the group totally together in our enjoyment of the history, locales and fabulous Italian food. I loved the streets of Sorrento and the adjacent island of Capri and boat excursion. Add two great visits - the pasta factory and winery lunches proudly presented by lovely Italian people.

Our tour was AMAZING. We had a great group and tour guide. Everyone was always on time, no mishaps. My favorite part was going to Capri on my birthday and getting to do The Blue Grotto. It was an unbelievable experience. We had to wait no time to be taken in on the boat. It was a dream to see the beauty in person!

Italy was fantastic and Flavio Nicoletti made it even more fun and entertaining, as well as educational. Thank you, to our travel advisor, Brenda Ajay, Collette Tours, and Flavio our very funny and educational tour guide!!!

Never have I seen such beauty and enjoyed so many places I've only seen in photos. Our Tour Manager, Luigi, was absolutely the most amazing and helpful manager to enhance our experience!! I would highly recommend Collette Tours to anyone who wants to see the best in the country they want to visit!

This was my first vacation out of the US .for my 70th birthday. I was amazed at the beautiful cities that we visited in Italy. Luigi, our tour guide was a professional in every aspect of the word!
