What our clients are saying about touring Italy & Sicily
We booked this tour because it had all the areas of Umbria and Tuscany that we wanted to visit. Collette is an excellent company, and we thought that every detail was well planned. We definitely got the experience we desired.
Spotlight on Tuscany Spotlight on TuscanyLauren Robbins , QLD, Australia, Apr 2026
My grandma & I recently completed Collette's Spotlight on Tuscany tour with the pre-extension tour in Rome and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The itinerary was very well organised and provided a perfect balance of guided activities and free time to explore at our own pace. The accommodation was comfortable and centrally located, making read more day trips throughout Tuscany very convenient. Our tour guide Luca was amazing and always went the extra mile to make the trip even more enjoyable.
This was our first time travelling with a tour group and it was amazing!!! The pace of this tour is perfect and the small group size allows for lots of hanging out together and enjoying each others company. If you want to see Italy at a relaxed pace where some things are planned and you have free time to do what you want then this tour is for you.
I enjoyed the places the tour selected in the tour. Each were interesting, unique and captured the individual culture of the region. Other tourists were fun to get to know. Hotels we stayed at provided excellent accommodations. Our tour director Oana made the tour wonderful with her knowledge of the history of each region and her wit and care to adjust read more for each individual and unique situation. Raphael was an excellent, caring driver.
Had a great trip. Thank you !!! A reasonably size group of great people lead by a knowledgeable, attentive CEO. Couldn't have had a better time
Wonderful tour of Rome and Amalfi Coast Rome & Amalfi CoastFerdi and Virginia, NSW, Australia, Mar 2026
It was great to be back in historic Rome, especially exploring with a group. Our local guides were knowledgeable and the hotel's central location made it easy for us to see the city's major landmarks. The transition to Amalfi Coast was seamless with well organised excursions. We enjoyed the stunning coastal views. We stayed in Vietri sul Mare, a quieter read more base with beautiful scenery, though we would have preferred Salerno for more activity and easier access to restaurants and transport.
The extension to Naples was an eye-opener. We were glad to experience its organised chaos. We were surprised the group wasn't taken to Piazza del Plebiscito, which we discovered on our own.
Our tour manager Giorgio kept everything running smoothly and our driver Luigi ensured we were taken to our tour destinations safe and on time. Our group of 31, all from the States and who mostly knew each other, with just the two of us from Australia, was warm and friendly making the experience even more enjoyable.
Also have to highlight the help from Tracey Standing, who assisted us in reinstating the tour in time after we had cancelled due to uncertainty in our flights via Abu Dhabi. We're glad we made it to this trip.
