Tuscany Tours and Trips

Our tour of the Mediterranean Coastal Journey, far exceeded our expectations. The tour manager was absolutely amazing! Having been thrown some curveballs, especially when the rain and windy weather caused Cinque Terre to be closed! Barbara pulled together a tour of the Imperiale Palace for the next day, with a demo on making Pesto sauce, then each of us made pesto as well. I was so looking forward to Cinque Terre, but in the long run we had a great experience in Genoa. Also, the hotel there was lovely being located on the marina, and all the shops and restaurants were just across the street. I was not looking forward to our stay in Genoa but came away pleasantly surprised. Our group of 22 turned out to be incredibly friendly right from the beginning. All the restaurants were very good, she even surprised us with a 1* Michelin dinner experience in substitution for that evening dining experience having been cancelled, so we got to eat at the number 1 restaurant in Marseilles! I have to say that Barbara was responsible for getting the group off to a great start being together, with her great sense of humor, friendliness, being firm about the start time to be on the bus :-) She went above and beyond making the last night of our tour so very special for my daughter, being it was her actual birthday. It was all just perfect! Thank you, Barbara, what tour will you be leading next season? I would consider going on it knowing how you can handle even those last-minute curveballs!

The whole tour was amazing. The places we saw and the experiences we had were a 10 out of 10. My favorite memory was the whole day that started with truffle hunting. That day was truly wonderful

Our tour manager, Alessandro was THE BEST !! Hot air balloon ride was a fabulous addition to the tour. Truffle hunting was outstanding. Pienza was a great town with lots to offer.

The trip was well organized with some of the hotels on the trip being real gems especially the one in the agriturismo and the one in Monteriggioni. The team was responsive when I had questions both before and during the trip and the app was easy to use. We had a fantastic time and the route was gorgeous.

Excellent tour! Attention to detail for an ultimate experience, from door to door transfers, a most outstanding tour guide, Mirza, and a very excellent driver, Luigi! Excursions and guided walks terrific. I highly recommend this tour, with these individuals. I look forward to more Collette tours with the standard of superiority experienced on this tour! Thank you!

Wonderful itinerary of beautiful Umbria and Tuscany! Tour manager, Alberto, was the perfect guide for this region which he dearly loves. Loved the truffle hunt and home hosted meals. Italy’s food and wine cannot be beat!
