Truly amazing - we experienced so much great culture and food. The most memorable was the climb up Mount Etna - what an extraordinary sight!
This was our first international trip and first with a tour group. Collette was a great tour and we couldn't have asked for anything better. We truly enjoyed our trip, making new friends and seeing so many different places. We saw what was listed in the brochure and more. We didn't have just one favorite because all the places we went were so beautiful and we enjoyed traveling. We also purchased the optional excursions and that really added to the trip. So much history! Attached is a photo of the Greek Theater in Taormina with Mt. Etna smoking in the background.
