A great way to experience Croatia. However, we feel that some of the optional experiences should be INCLUDED (specifically the lunch at the family-owned winery) and a little more time spent in the STON area would have been nice.
Go on an adventure in the heart of Alsace! Explore Strasbourg and its Christmas markets for a true dive into Christmas magic.

Tour was a good picture of Switzerland with a combination of cities, villages, and mountains. The dip into Italy was nice for a chance of pace and scenery.
Our group was phenomenal. Our guide, Vili, did a wonderful job of creating a cohesive group that was supportive, friendly, and fun.
The Matterhorn had to be the best experience. Our time there was clear weather and just a very light snow…perfect.
These are full days packed with lots of information, the bus and all the people in it become family. You don’t have to be fit but there is a lot of walking. They help to get you into places where you’d otherwise have to queue up for hours. Amazing scenery
Brittany Walled towns was a fantastic trip that everyone in my cycling group enjoyed . The scenery and weather was perfect and adding on our day trip on the ferry to Jersey was fantastic. I had an ebike and Patrick and Ingrid sorted out my mechanical problems by translating the issues to the bike mechanic who fixed them as a priority so i was back on the road quickly. The 2-3 star hotels and breakfasts were perfect for us and our luggage arrived with no problems to our next hotel. Well done to Anthony for helping us co-ordinate all of our trip and plane bookings nothing was too much trouble for him and any questions had a detailed email response very quickly.
It was a fast paced trip. It is a bit difficult staying only one night in a few places, just the logistics of packing up several nights and having everything ready for the next day is challenging.
But, that being said I thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many things through out Italy.
That inconvenience was minor in comparison to the amount of ground we covered.

It was great. We learnt so much about the country. Really happy the way the tour was run. Our guide Mustafa was one of the best guides we have ever had. What an amazing man with such a great heart and so patient. He has so much knowledge, there wasn't any question he couldn't answer. Hotels were excellent. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to travel. Very very happy. Thank you so much.
I have read and dreamed about history and the physical wonders of the world that have survived for centuries. To finally, at my age, to be able to experience these wonders along with a knowledgeable guide has been a highlight of my life. I fully understood that it would be a whirlwind “taste” of what Italy has to offer but it was accomplished well and beyond my expectations. Accommodations were perfect and centrally located at every city we visited. Each personal tour guide was a vessel full of information that gave my group very enjoyable perspectives of history. However, I cannot praise enough the Tour Manager, Sergio Solazzo who, in all honesty, made the entire trip perfect. I will be back for sure and I will be using Collette tours without a doubt!
We had an amazing trip touring the Algarve region of Portugal. Everything was organised superbly. We have plans to do more in the future and will definitely go with them again.
