Nice Tours and Trips

Our tour guide, Christina, was excellent. We felt we always knew what to expect each day and very knowledgeable. Beautiful area to visit and would go back again with Collette!

everything was outstanding except for i think the dinner experiences or choice of restaurants for dinner provided could be improved upon. The last evening experience was not good. Poor service. Food listed on menu was not offered. One server for a room of 37 people is unacceptable. People grew impatient and wanted to leave. On 2 other evenings, the dining area was not large enough to accommodate all of us. So, the group had to be broken up into different areas of the restaurant. Everything else about the tour was 5 Star!!!

The whole tour was wonderful. JP, our tour guide was excellent from start to finish. The variety of activities was great. My favorite was Mont-Saint-Michel and I didn’t even climb to the top. I loved staying in the chateau I felt like royalty even though the dinner there was disappointing. I would skip the Paris city bus tour on the last day. Just pointing out building after building was a let down I would rather have explored a museum. Overall, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed France. Collette is a great tour company Your attention to details is wonderful. We have already signed up for another Collette tour. Thanks.

Great itinerary! Consider starting the tour in Nice instead of Monaco. Nice has more places (art museums and new town) of interest to explore compared to Monaco’s casinos. Expand the time to tour St. Emilion and arrive on time for us to tour the museum where only 2 of our travelers were lucky enough to get tickets which were sold out. The Michelin chef cooking class could be improved with more hands-on food prep being done by all travelers with a Chef who actually seems enthused for us to me there. The meal was delicious. Adding hands-on Would have made this a highlight experience with the added benefit of giving travelers a chance to interact beyond sitting across the table having a meal. As often as possible when providing a lunch or dinner, please allow travelers to choose from at least two entree options. Upgrade to better rooms at all of the hotel. Putting us in a base level cramped room at great hotels took away from the overall expectation of a trip of this caliber. The individual car ride through the mountains and village was a fun reprieve from the coach even though the coach is roomy and comfortable. Overall, a fabulous tour with an excellent Tour Director who is informative, engaging and responsive to travelers. Luggage handling/coordination by the driver and hotel staff was excellent. Dinner at the Eiffel Tower was wonderful.

The entire experience was amazing! The scenery on the French Riviera was breathtaking and each day trip was worthwhile and memorable. Our tour included Nice as our home base, but there were many things to do in the old town and modern part of the city including shops, churches, restaurants, and outdoor markets. Included in our activities was a day trip to Eze, Grasse, Cannes, wine tasting on an exclusive island, Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Tour of Old Town Nice was wonderful. Shops were delightful snd offered lots of shopping opportunities. Tour of St. Jean de Vence was phenomenal. Food, shopping and overall experience was beyond what we had expected. Would definately repeat this our again.
