Tour manager was great. Very professional and organized with some great fun facts and light humor. Florence was fabulous. Day slightly shortened due to stop by Poliza. Loved Cinque Terre. First night dinner at the local restaurant was the best.

The tour was absolutely wonderful!!! Val (tour manager) was amazing! The only thing that I would recommend to remove for sure from the itinerary is the "Palace Hotel" in Marsala. It was actually terrible...It smelled musty and it was not clean. :( It looked like they just opened a week before we got there. I do have bad allergies to dust, molds and mites and let me tell you, I could not breath in that hotel. So we had to move to a different hotel for 3 nights because of it. It was not good for me because of my allergies but it was not good for anybody else on the trip either to breath that "stuff" either. Note: We staying at the Best Western in the Marsala Plaza and it was the best location!!! I would recommend this hotel for the future. Other than the Palace Hotel, the trip was a 10/10 for us! :) Totally loved all of it! Josee

We would highly recommend Collette tours for the Greek Island Hopper experience. It is a good itinerary that covers quite a lot and at a comfortable pace. Our tour manager, Evi Kechagiadaki was exceptional!

We really enjoyed the entire trip. The tour manager, Val, the bus driver, Bruno, and the all fourteen days were amazing. The only thing we did not like were the accommodations in Marsala at The Palace Hotel. It is very old and dated past being able to be enjoyable. The rooms were musty and full of dust etc. My wife and I actually had to change hotels and pay for our own accommodations for the three nights there.

The tour was amazing the Vatican the Tuscany Village all the guided tours sometimes it got a little crazy because there's a lot of people there which is expected it was absolutely amazing it was definitely a Taste of Italy I was grateful to do as much as we did but it was constant running but I guess to squeeze everything in that's the way it had to be and they definitely said it was a level three it was definitely a trip of the lifetime and don't forget about our bus driver he was amazing he kept us safe he was very kind no complaints
