Scandinavia Local culture Trips

The tour director was outstanding; his knowledge of Poland and its history which he shared with us during the bus trips between cities visited was extremely helpful in the enjoyment of our time in those places. The whole tour was well paced and included some of the best sights Poland has to offer!

Collette does an excellent job at providing land tours. They have active itineraries that provide a great combination of local tours and free time to explore on your own. The guides are extremely knowledgeable about local customs, traditions and points of interest. Their online app is excellent for communicating the daily schedule, local points of interest, local dining and local maps for each area where you spend a night. They have a good combination of provided group meals and meals on your own to explore and enjoy at your own pace.

As with our other Exodus adventures, the trip was very well organised with a comprehensive itinerary. We did a loop of the island and saw most things you would want to see. There was good mix of temples and other ruins (Greek, Roman, etc.) and we got a good understanding of the complex history of the island (given that pretty much every empire, colonial power, etc. over the last 3000 years had bulldozed their way through the island). Our excellent leader Tiziano (more below) introduced us to the culture, food, etc. of Sicily. The itinerary was full-on, but there was time to slow down and explore. The local guides were very good. A particular shout out to Vanessa who showed us around Catania and Neapolis with a fun, honest, and critical eye.

The bus tour was extremely nice. Loved our accommodations especially Ashford Castle. I wood have preferred staying there two night rather than Abbey Glen. Ashford had lots of activities that would have been nice to try. I also loved seeing Kylemore Abbey and experiencing the sheep farm and seeing the border collie do their job. We really like the Irish National Stud Farm. Seeing the Ring of Kerry was a bit boring and wished we had stayed back at the hotel for the outing. Overall it was a very good adventure

It was a fantastic trip! Our tour director Dani was wonderful and knowledgeable! Our Driver Vojo was amazing! We felt very safe with him behind the wheel, also very helpful! The local guides were fantastic and showed their passion about their areas! A true trip of a lifetime!

The entire tour was enjoyable. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be the Greek ruins in Agrigento. The history and construction information was really great.
