Our last night with dinner at the Craufurd castle was over the top. So enjoyed mingling with the Laird and Lady. The whole trip was amazing, but that was the icing on the cake.
Really enjoyed this tour. Itinerary was great. Pace was right, and our tour leader was amazing. Will definitely come back to Spain and Portugal again. Touring Morocco was great too, and very different from travelling in Europe. Had I done this tour as a single traveller it would have costed me a lot more, so got value for money as well. Will soon book my next trip. Recommended.

Was a bit strenuous for myself considering my age..if only we can eliminate a few stops in the daily schedule so that we could spend more time in the rest..or eg -some of the cities like Bordeaux we reached at the end of the day and had to leave immediately next day so couldnt explore the city.
I have been dreaming of traveling to Turkey for a long time. I had initially booked this tour in 2020 and clearly it had to be cancelled. Five years later, my expectations were exceeded by this tour. The rich history, culture, the food and the beautiful people of Turkey— this is a trip not to be missed!

The whole itinerary was fantastic and I loved every minute of it. My only comment relates to finding places to purchase lunches and getting back to the bus on time. Some towns required a long walk to find a food outlet which then puts you under pressure to return to the bus.

This was my first all land trip with Collette. I usually take river cruises. I was more than pleased with this trip. We were met at the airport and put in a limousine to go to our hotel. Our hotels were safe and excellent in every way. Our motor coach was spacious and very comfortable. The food was excellent. Our guide was nice, experienced, knowledgeable, accommodating, and full of great fun. She managed to bring a great cohesiveness to a bunch of total strangers and change the group members into great friends in one, fun-filled week. We saw interesting sights. We had time for shopping. And most importantly, we had time to meet Irish people. We watched a national rugby game, drank a beer, and sang many Beatles’ songs I thoroughly enjoyed the tours, dinner shows., and our castle stay. I will definitely return to the Republic of Ireland and many other Collette destinations for future travel.
The trip was a very enjoyable one and we were well attended to by your guides Pablo and Maria, both explained things very well and ensured our needs were met. We spent most of the time with Maria and She was super as she knew a whole LOT and in the rare chance she did not know an answer to a question she was great at letting you know shed find out and actually finding the answer and getting back to us. She was a huge part of the comfort we had with this trip. Too, the dear lady lost a close family member but remained with us at a time that could have been very hard for someone to do their job, I felt she went above and beyond what I expected.
We enjoyed almost a week in Portugal touring Lisbon and the surrounding areas. Our guide was extremely personable and knowledgeable about the area, history, and culture. We highly recommend hi and Destination Services Portugal - they both exceeded our expectations and made our time in Lisbon memorable.
