We have been to Florence and Northern Italy, 2nd time too Sicily and first for Malta, all were excellent and different. We don't like big crowds, and Malta and Sicily were not that crowded, great. In Malta the small-town church and dinner and music and dancing and locals were a highlight. The last Sicily hotel with access to the beach and Mediterranean and local eateries was also a highlight. Taormina was and is our favorite city and shopping. OUTSTANDIND trip! Bus transportation from church to metro and back, what a comfort and relief, nice. Thank you, Collette Travel, Davide tour manager, Father Andrew and all the fun travelers from St John's church for a lifetime of great memories.

Great combination of the most famous, iconic parts of Italy (Rome, Florence and Venice) along with lesser known small towns and cities in Umbria and Tuscany. Nice detour south to Anacapri, beautiful and out of the touristy hustle of Capri. Please note that I traveled on this trip with Terrence O’Brien. My name is Ann Farias. For some reason, you are sending the surveys to my email address but addressed to Terrence. His email address is mygrandvista@gmail.com

We loved the tour. The tulips were beautiful. Mackinac Island & the Grand Hotel was fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed the Dow house tour. Frankinmuth was interesting. One of the suggestions we would make is that the tour could have spent two days in Dearborn. We couldn’t see all there was to see in one day.

Fantastic walking in springtime Crete, wildflowers all around. There were only 4 of us ( where were you all) but we all got on well and had similar walking stamina. There were only highlight for me was the Soumaria gorge, from the sea upwards. Felt suitably tired but very pleased with myself at the end! The tour leader, Alex was great, very knowledgeable about the history of Crete and a keen walker himself. The Cretan people we met were lovely and the food, predictably was fantastic.
