Honest insights from past guests on our Explorer Italy tours
Patricia G. | Traveled in November
One of the best tours I have been on and I have been on a lot!!! I loved that we stayed in Rome the complete trip. You could tour everyday or go off on your own. A very informative tour but yet relaxing. Our tour manager was delightful and very knowledgeable.i would go on another Collette tour in a heartbeat!!!
Wanda He | Traveled in November
I loved this tour! I highly recommend it to everyone. The smaller group makes it possible to go to harder to reach places. Michele was our guide an Romulus was our van driver and they were fantastic.
Jacqueline Pa | Traveled in November
We had a great time. A few things happened out of her control but Annalisa our guide was amazing and just organised things. Our group was a good size and fun. Annalisa was great giving us information and friendly. Our driver was good to always felt safe on those narrow roads.
Beatrix Ha | Traveled in November
This was a wonderful adventure travelling many kilometres during which time our tour director noted and explained the approaching landmarks in such detail Including detailed facts, dates and figures. Her knowledge was exceptional. Tastings and cooking class were fun and informative and too the truffle hunt including lunch. Accommodation was very good and interesting and having our luggage looked after was great. Our tour director was very caring and helpful. All-in-all, it was a memorable tour
Ivan Ho | Traveled in October
From the moment our guide ( Helio da Costa ) introduced himself we knew we were on the right tour. Each destination was filled with little tit bits & on occasions little treats from Helio. Our driver (Fabio) gave us the best possible ride, with no-one feeling travel sickness. We certainly found roads that would have changed this but his smooth driving left us in awe. Very much appreciated by everyone.
Liz Ho | Traveled in October
An amazing indulgent way to experience the beauty of Tuscany and all its wonders. The tour was nicely paced with a diverse range of activities. The accommodation was A+.
