USA Eco Tours

Overall, the trip was memorable in a positive way. It was interesting on all levels and everyone could find something to appeal to their interests. As a former Social Studies teacher the trip was especially satisfying. Topics and places I had taught in "words" are now reality to me in a special way. Actually visiting places we read about like Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard was exciting. The trip inclusions coordinated well as was very in the brochure. I think everyone in our group enjoyed the variety of activities. You didn't need to enjoy "history" to enjoy this trip. It was memorable for all. Side note not for print: I was a great fan of President Kennedy and to be able to visit St. Mary's church where he and Jackie were married was very special to me.

Hotels in Louisville and Asheville were considerably better than the others. The Biltmore was, by far, my favorite memorable experience. More time should have been provided to properly see everything in the house and on the grounds.

We had a wonderful tour, a fantastic tour manager, and great accommodations!! However, scheduling a tour of the “National Parks” in October is not a good idea (we missed out on several opportunities because of bad weather)

I will definitely book another Collette tour. I enjoyed the organization, the explanation of where and what we were going to see. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging and professional.

Our tour was great. We did do a lot of riding but Chad played informative videos and shared lots of history regarding the stops along the way. The Meier garden, the town of Frankenmuth, & and the Alden B Dow home. They were hidden gems. Chicago was great & our bus tour with David as our guide was wonderful. So much history. Mackinaw island and the Grand Hotel was the highlight. Bronners Christmas store was awesome, just not enough time there. It was perfect for our group. Detroit was amazing. The Ford Plant museum was amazing & I loved the history. Our guide was the best. The Ford museum & area out was great. Our dinners were delicious. Our travel arrangements were great as well. The Westin in Detroit was not what we expected. We had an incident on one floor an I found a live insect crawling on the counter near the coffee supplies. You might consider different accommodations in Detroit. Was a great trip. Will book again with Collette.

I am a music lover, and was amazed at how many different aspects of music were covered in the tour from types of music, locations related to music and experiences of music done live. Our tour leader Elizabeth Williams was amazing. She had such attention to detail and kept us so well informed every step of the way The accommodations were excellent and the coach bus and driver. Derek were another part of this amazing experience.
