Collette Reviews View all
In Assisi, I walked in the footsteps of St Francis and St Clare, whose lives of humility, service, and joy continue to inspire. The town itself radiates peace, and visiting the Basilica of St Francis - where his tomb lies - was a moment of huge reflection. My only criticism- we didn't have enough time in this town. We had a three course lunch - lovely - but would be better to grab a sandwich and see more.
From the grandeur of the Vatican to the quiet beauty of Assisi, I was struck by the artistry, devotion, and centuries of prayer embedded in these sacred spaces. Standing beneath Michelangelo’s dome in St Peter’s, standing in the Sistine Chapel, praying in the crypts of saints, and witnessing the living faith of pilgrims from around the world (including half a million young people who were in Rome at the same time for World Youth Day!).
As a Principal in a Catholic school, this pilgrimage wasn’t just a personal journey - it was a professional and spiritual renewal. It reminded me of the sacred responsibility I have to nurture faith, learning, and community. I return with a renewed sense of purpose, ready to continue building a school where every child is known, loved, and inspired and where we nurture hearts, minds and spirits. Thank you for organising.
The tour manager was excellent, the best we have experienced. Our first Collette tour and we may consider another one.
Happy with our fellow travellers as well, we always find nice people in our trip. Have to mention our local tour guide in Johannesburg - she was very passionate and knowledgeable. Guess the only thing that’s not memorable to us was the smell of the bus we used from George to Cape Town (only confined in the seats near the bus toilet though) - not fresh smelling for sure. But all in all, that didn’t take away the enjoyment we had on our trip. We thank Global Journeys and Collette for organising this tour and we look forward to travelling again. Will surely recommend this to our friends.

FAQ's Frequently asked questions for those considering traveling with Collette
What is the difference between a twin room and a double room?
In certain countries, hotel rooms tend to be smaller than the Australian standard accommodation. A double room is designed to accommodate two people, but may not have two separate beds. A twin-bedded room has two separate beds of any size, and is the type most commonly utilised.
Are single and triple rooms always available?
On many tours, triple and single rooms are limited and are available on a first come, first served basis. Be advised that single rooms are often smaller.
Can my children travel on tour?
Children over the age of 5 may travel on a Collette tour accompanied by an adult. Child land rates are valid for ages 5-12, sharing a room with two full-paying adults.
Is there a lot of walking on tour?
We pride ourselves on bringing travellers the very best experiences a destination offers. Our itineraries include many activities and may consist of walking on uneven terrain or significant walking at times. Some of the most unique sightseeing can mean accessing locations that restrict coaches, especially in historic areas. Some hotels/lodges in remote locations may not have elevators. For your comfort, we recommend bringing walking shoes.
What is not included in the tour price?
The land price does not include international air travel, airline fees, airport or departure taxes, transfers, visas, customary end-of-trip gratuities for your Tour Manager, driver, local guides, hotel housekeepers, cruise ship waitstaff, and any incidental charges.
Would my tour date ever be changed?
Whilst it is unlikely, Collette does reserve the right to cancel a tour prior to departure. Should this happen, Collette will make every effort to put you on another departure date. If an alternate cannot be found, a full refund will be made. Air booked through Collette will be protected. We cannot be held responsible for penalties incurred if you have secured your own air.
Can I make changes to my reservation?
Should you decide to change your reservation after initial booking, a handling fee of $25 per transaction will be charged (*no additional charges from Global Journeys). A change of tour date, tour itinerary or passenger name, within the guidelines of the cancellation policy, will be treated as a cancellation and regular cancellation fees may apply.
Are airport and hotel transfers available?
We can organise transfers through Collette for the first and last day of the tour at an additional cost of $120 per person, roundtrip. Some restrictions may apply. Roundtrip airport-to-hotel transfers are provided for all passengers who purchase airfare through Collette & Global Journeys. All transfers leave at prescheduled times. All passengers who purchase pre- and post hotel nights through Collette may also purchase transfers to/from the airport and the pre- or post-hotel.
What is Collette Chauffeur?
It's your ticket to and from the airport. This service is available for all tour bookings. This personalised service is included in all Australian capital cities within a 40km radius from the international airport. *Service is available between 41 and 70 kilometres for a small fee.
Do I need to tip on my Collette tour?
For all tours gratuities are an additional cost. If you wish to pre-pay gratuities I can add them to your booking. If you don't want to pre-pay the gratuities, then these are paid at the conclusion of your tour and the amount paid is at your discretion.
