Reviews of our Central America Experienced Traveler Tours
Our Experienced explorers reflect on their cultural journeys through Central America.
Mary J. | Traveled in December
This tour had everything on my bucket list to do while in New York City. Wonderful tour guides, great accommodations close to everything. All details taken care of, from travel to and from, most meals, tax and tips, Rockettes show and Broadway show included! The 911 Memorial and Ellis island and Statue of Liberty tours were wonderful. Also enjoyed free time to shop.
George P. | Traveled in December
The tour was comprehensive, led by knowledgeable guides. Many days started earlier than I would have preferred, but that is the trade-off for including as much as this tour did. The farms we visited were among the best parts of the tour, with captivating demonstrations and excellent meals. The food throughout the tour was, for the most part, excellent, although meals at hotels did not measure up to those off-site.

Excellent tour guide . Excellent driver, . Well planned tour. Lots of enjoyable experiences. Great group of fellow travelers. I enjoyed the Chopin concert and the polka dance the best. All of the trip was excellent and the local guides were phenomenal!

Fantastic itinerary, we had so many amazing experiences, we learnt a lot about the culture, history and people. We experienced many things that we would not have if we had travelled alone. Our guide was passionate and entertaining. He was a font of knowledge and added to our enjoyment I have not felt as relaxed travelling solo, knowing that all the transport, porterage etc was taken care of allowed me to enjoy the experience without the stress.
Joyce E. | Traveled in December
I was completely satisfied with this Collette tour. The itinerary was great! We saw all the “must see” places that come to mind when thinking about NYC. I do wish it could have been one day longer with a little more free time. If I had to pick a favorite experience, it would be the Rockettes, altho they edged out the other places by only a tiny margin. I loved the location of the hotel and took advantage of that by getting out and walking every evening after the scheduled itinerary had ended for the day. I was able to see lots of things so easily in the area because of that location. I enjoyed the places that the itinerary took us for meals. Great and fun choices! Thank you for a great experience!

The Rockettes were amazing! I also liked the bus tour of the city, our tour guide was fantastic and very informative. It is hard to choose just one favorite thing.
