Andes Beach Trips

I had been on Collette tours before this one and they were great, so I expected the same however this one was more than I expected. Since touring the Isles of Cape Cod I thought this would be like that only in Canada. It was so much more to see and learn - especially that the tour is in the Atlantic Standard time zone and there is also a Newfoundland time zone. Truly lives up to the Coastal Wonders name.

My favorite experiences were the group activities: tour of Pompeii winery, the vertical farm & pizza making. All days were well planned. The only negative for me was being placed in the middle of tourist shopping areas in each costal town.

The experience was amazing, the trip was very well organised, the countries we got to experience were incredible and the tour manager (Joel) was fantastic, it’s clear he knew a lot about the places we were going to, gave good recommendations, made an effort to build a relationship with all of us and was just very organised in general. If I had one piece of feedback it would be on the Argentine portion of the trip. Whilst I did enjoy the time spent in Buenos Aires, it didn’t feel like it fit in the flow with the rest of the tour, it felt a bit like a completely different trip whereas it felt the Peru and Brazil portions fit quite well together. Additionally, whilst I had no issue with the quality of the Buenos Aires hotel, my roommate had complaints about the cleanliness of the room and made a complaint to the front desk and I felt the way they handled the complaint was very poor, there was no real effort put in to make my roommate feel more comfortable and we had to involve our tour manager and he was really great in the situation but ultimately my roommate felt the need to book her own hotel for the duration of the Buenos Aires portion so I think the hotel choice could be looked into a bit if possible. Additionally, the excursion to Tigre looked like it could’ve been quite nice in the summer, however, our tour took place in winter so the kayaking and swimming that was advertised wasn’t actually available when we arrived on the island. The resort we spent the day at was beautiful but we pretty much ate lunch and then stood around for over an hour, all of us who partook in that FTAO agreed that the experience was not worth the price and maybe an alternate FTAO could be considered in the colder months. The Peru and Brazil portion of the trip was absolutely fantastic and overall it was an incredible experience!

First timer using Collette and traveling with a tour group . Very well organized , great accommodations and our tour Manager Cinzia Trappa was thee best ! My favorite hotel was in Ravello , The Graal , the views were magnificent !! Location was great to get us back and forth to the Amalfi for the ferry .

Rome is amazing! So much history. Wish the Vatican would have been included. I tried to purchase tickets on my own, but they were sold out. All the tour guides were fantastic! We stopped in Pompeii on the way to the Amalfi Coast. It was my favorite. It’s unbelievable they are still uncovering it. Our tour guide Francesco was very thoughtful and passionate. The Amalfi Coast is a gem! Beautiful clear water. Breathe taking! We stayed in Ravello. The cutest little town. We went to Sorrento, Positano, Capri and Minori all beautiful. Amazing experience! Big shout out to Cinzia, our local Italian tour manager for being the best person to help us understand this beautiful country!

This was a wonderful trip! All of the hotels were beautiful except for one (a substitute). Our coach driver was amazing and our tour director was so knowledgable, funny, kind, and even a great singer. I would recommend this trip for anyone wanting to see a lot of Ireland on a pretty tight time restraint. I could have happily spent another few weeks in beautiful Ireland.
