"We have done a fair amount of independent travel over the years, combining business and pleasure and never liked the idea of a "bus" tour. Honestly, we signed up or this tour when other plans fell through. We are converts to Collette and are already looking forward to another trip with Collette."
Claire McQueeny, Block Island, RI


"There are just so many positive points for going with a group: 1. Local guides added to our enjoyment with their information and answered all questions easily. 2. The pace of the tour was perfect. 3. A written daily schedule allowed us time to tour and time to shop. Finally, when I think of all the things that could have been a problem, had we been by ourselves...It just made me want to write you and thank you for a fantastic holiday "
Cecelia Jenkins, New Hartford, CT


"Collette has sold me on guided tours. The comfort that we felt with our tour manager because of her expertise was invaluable."
