This was my first Collette tour and it was absolutely wonderful. The hotels, food and the people on the trip and in all the lovely villages and towns were exceptional especially Cinzia and her family. The farmhouse was breathtaking and the food just incredible. I can still taste the warm ricotta!The "tutti frutti farm" and pizza making was another joy. The only unfortunate thing was i left my camera behind. It was at the hotel in Agrigento. I used it-along with my phone when we went to the night tour at the temples. it became to cumbersome to use both so i thought i packed my camera in my suitcase but unfortunately it was not there when i got home. i hope whomever found it is enjoying it. It was a gift from my late husband so I guess i will just have to come back to Sicily to visit it. Marney and Liborio was just wonderful. She was a fantastic guide and he was a wonderful driver. i miss the great fun we all had. A truly memorable experience.

Communication, accommodations, itinerary, and knowledge-it was all spot on! From the moment we requested information about the trip Collette had it covered. Our tour guide emailed before our trip providiing a touch of friendship and detailed information, Collette’s written packet kept us in the know while our tour guide’s daily written and verbal updates gave us peace of mind knowing step by step details. Our tour guide listened to the group and added either more guided site seeing or more free time as desired. It was truly a magical experience

The BEST thing about the entire tour was the tour guide and the organization. Thanks to Collette, we were never left wondering what we were doing next!! I felt safe and cared for. My favorite memorable experience was seeing newly cannonized St. Carlo, in Assissi.
Edgardo B. | Traveled in December
I just love everything about the History of Rome. I love Vatican Square, the artifacts, history of the apostles and most of all to Carry the cross all the way inside the Vatican cathedral.

Collette and the tour Manager, Max was outstanding with service, care for every detail for the comfort and experience of the group. My favorite part was the trip to Assisi and the added inclusion of visiting St. Carlo Acutis body. Thank you for all the planning and preparation to make this pilgrimage a 1 in a lifetime experience.
