I've been raving about this tour experience since I've come home. I can't say enough about Collette staff and our tour director Michael, everything was excellent! The only hotel I was disappointed with was the one in Brugge, but understand it's a historic building so can't fault them. Bed was very comfortable and rooms are large.

5 star experience, from first day pickup at the airport to the last day of the tours, even English speaking groups are small4 ppl they have dedicated English speaking guides with us most the time
Excellent trip. Excellent knowledge from Sukran. Only reason for 4 stars is because there was a bit of
repetition of information and some of the panoramic views seemed unnecessary. Very good care taken
of use and amazing cave hotel. Memories to last a lifetime. Thank you.
