You’re a leisurely traveler. You typically take it easy and discover the energy of a new place by people-watching or soaking in the atmosphere at a local café. You can climb at least one flight of stairs, board a coach, and walk unassisted at a relaxed pace for up to 60 minutes without difficulty. You can easily handle altitudes up to 5,000 feet.
You like a balanced approach to travel. Walking two to three miles over the course of a day is no problem for you. You can partake in a two-hour leisurely walking tour, covering up to two miles (with included breaks). You can handle a variety of terrains, from cobblestone streets to moderate hills with relative ease and without assistance. You can climb two flights of stairs with ease. There may be 1 to 2 days on this tour when walking tours can cover 3 to 4 miles over uneven terrain. You can handle altitudes up to 6,000 feet.
You’re an on-the-go traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (2-3 hours) isn’t a big deal. A moderately paced two-and-a-half-hour walking tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem for you. Walking four miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.). You can climb three flights of stairs easily and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. Expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. This level is not a fit for travelers who require mobility assistance devices.
You’re ready to seize the day, whatever it may bring. You lead an active life at home (walking, biking, and half or full day hikes are things you may enjoy) and 10,000 steps a day is normal for you. You can handle longer walking tours (more than 3 hours covering 3+ miles at a steady clip) and activities that involve traversing uneven terrain, steep slopes, standing for periods of time, and varying altitudes and temperatures. You don’t mind being on the go with some early starts, late-nights, and full days. You can handle altitudes of 9,000 feet or higher with little to no issue. This level is not appropriate for travelers who use wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility assistance devices.

My favorite island was Meteora, however all of Greece was spectacular. The Acropolis was beautiful. Tour Director needs to slow down on walking tours. She walked so fast we could barely keep up or hear her on vox. The hotel accommodations were great but didnt appreciate the little rooms on the ship and no upgrades available. Trip was spectacular to Greece. The local guides were outstanding. Knew the history and kept us interested.

I am very impressed with Collette! It is a very detail oriented, all-inclusive tour company. I didn’t feel the need to have a travel agent be in charge, Collette covered it all. The tour was great, the manager and guides for each place we stopped were excellent. The tour bus and driver were awesome, too. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe at all times. I will use Collette again!

The tour was great. There was a lot of riding on the bus, but that was unavoidable due to the distances between sites. Most of the participants were older so the frequent bathroom breaks were appreciated. I like visiting Ephesus the best, but the food on the ship was not good at all.

The schedule of late nights and early departures was grueling for older passengers. The twin-bed cabin on the ship was cramped. Some of the local guides were hard to understand because they talked too fast or had strong accents. The one in Turkey was terrific! And we really liked Theodosius! The ala cart food on the ship was excellent, but the buffet food got a little monotonous. The bus was luxurious, and the bus drivers were outstanding. Baggage handling was highly efficient, including transferring belongings we left behind in the Holiday Inn in Athens to the Crowne Plaza in Athens. We would consider another Collette Tour, but would choose one with a less demanding schedule.

Unfortunately, many of the guests on the tour had missed connections and lost luggage which impacted the overall tour. The change in the final hotel while it was noted two weeks out it was not brought to our attention at the pre-sail meeting and we were staying over in Athens to meet family, so we had to pay for a hotel stay that we did not use.

I feel misled and bait and switch by Collette. This was supposed to be a private tour with our church, we had twenty strangers with us. When I signed up I was told 30 people, after a bit it was 33. Ok, that’s good. No, there were 44. I would never have gone if I knew it was 44 people plus not our private group that we paid BIG bucks for!

This is by far one of my best tour experience. This is our second tour with Collette. Our Tour Manager, Amanda Phillips made a big difference. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and quick to respond to everyone’s needs. Amanda provided good places to eat and shop. Our hotels are convenient, clean and walking distance from all the good places to visit. Let’s not forget Visilli, our tour bus driver. He is an awesome driver that can maneuver through tight places. He is amazing! And our Celestial cruise it’s amazing. All the excellent food, great service are fantastic. The ship is big enough and not over crowded. This is perfect for our tour. As for the Foot Steps of St Paul, this tour provided an abundance of experience, knowledge and the most amazing sites. The Greek food are amazing! I highly recommend this tour. And if you’re lucky enough to get Amanda as your tour manager it would be an experience you’ll treasure like we had.

Yes - the Hotel Capsis in Thessaloniki had bathroom issues - the sink and the shower did not drain and the shower would not stay in position to use and one had to hold it to shower. Additionally, the hotel in Kalambaka did not have irons nor did their housekeeping have a pressing service. This hotel really needs updating or need to find other accommodations in this area. The lobby and dining room are lovely but the rooms are extremely dated and look like they are stuck in the 1960's. The cruise was fun and we loved the Greek islands. When we arrived in Rome, our room looked like it was stuck in the 1950's and the bedding was ancient. The lobby and dining were very nice but our driver to the airport passed the Hotel St. Martin and told us that many Collette travelers stay there in Rome and it was very nice. We were told upon arrival in Rome, that the Roman Serenade extra option had been cancelled without any explanation and had a difficult time obtaining a refund from Collette, as they were told we did not show up for an included dinner, which was not true. Our tour manager, Sophia, in Greece was excellent as were the other guides who joined us in different places. Chiara, our tour manager in Rome, seemed to be very new and wasn't as organized as Sophia. The guide for the Vatican Tour was excellent and Rome did not disappoint!

Collette had several hours advanced knowledge that we would be stranded in Paris, which was not our final destination. No one was at the Paris Airport to assist us and reassure us that we would be taken care of. Instead we were given verbal phone instructions to lug our baggage to the Novotel Hotel across the airport, up and down escalators, onto a shuttle train not knowing where exactly we were headed. After we were informed our stay in Paris would be more than just one night, someone at Collette did not want us to be moved to downtown Paris so we could at least go and see some of Paris. This was finally arranged with taxi's sent for us. There were 8 of us that took the Rome extention. We were taken to the Athens Airport and 7 of the 8 of us had Business Class seating, which meant we could all use the lounge preflight but the one lady!!!!! This was a very rude thing to do to this lady by your booking staff!!!! While on the plane there were seats available in the Business Class. Someone dropped the ball in this situation!!! She should have been with the rest of us!

The Collette tour guides were bad. Amanda was very controlling - her bus got every advantage every day. It was awful how biased she was toward her bus. Theo could not make any decisions until Amanda told him the plans for her bus. It was awful!. The 2 buses rarely mixed. As a result, we were never able to take a picture of our full group. We do not have a picture of the entire group that traveled to Greece….very sad.

Yes. The trip was a great failure. Airflights were not done correctly. Mike your representative that told us what we would need realized the flight was not correct but did nothing about it. When we got stranded in Denver, it seemed like Collette or United Airlines didn't care. We missed 1/2 of our trip and you want to give us a $200.00 voucher on another trip. You need to give us a complete paid trip with hotel reservations, guides, and meals to Crotia and Turkey. We paid over $5,000.00 for a trip and missed 1 /2 of it and was so exhausted from spending 56 hours in the airport and then a 8-9 hour ferry trip and waste a day waiting to catch up with our group. Why would we want to take another trip with Collette?

I did not have a good experience with Collette. We question Mike at the meeting if there was enough time catching our flight from Denver, he assured us it was. I do hold Collette responsible. We have a construction company, we are held responsible when our subs messed up. You contracted out your company to some one else to book our tour. I missed my tour going to Turkey and Mykonos. My presentation to my church fell short because of your scheduling. The $200 travel coupon was an insult. There is no way that I can fly to Turkey and Mykonos and a hotel on $200. I would like a refund for time that I lost for the two countries. so it very hard for me to give you a great review. Mark and Ruby Kelley

Collette missed the opportunity to make the trip really excellent because they failed to get the approximately 45 people all on the same flight accomodations as we had 4 different travel groups. Also, they didn't book tickets in a method that would allow travelers to utilize their airline upgrades. Also they didn't tell us that our tour was the last of the season or that we would arrive in some of the beautiful ports late in the day so we never were able to really experience the beauty of some once in a life time destinations. Also, the cruise line, Celestal Cruise was a C- of quality. Ulitmately we paid much more than the value of the trip. The tour guide was excellent both the travel planning and logisitics of the airfare and cruise line were underwhelming.

I was so impressed by the quality of the tour guides and the hotels, food and the sites visited. The Celestial Cruise line was good is most ways, however the housekeeping was not quite great. The sun had set for the Mykonos and Santorini tours.

From the beginning, our group had trouble with Collete. First off, our salesman said Collete would be with us every step of the way. We were told we would have a follow up meeting, we waited a long period of time with no word. Our group leader finally contacted Collete. That’s when we discovered that Collete said that we personally had not made our deposit, when in fact we had, would they have let us know or just canceled us? Other problems occurred with other members of the group. In addition, when arriving in Rome for our return home, we found our flight had been canceled. I contacted Collete. The lady that I spoke with said that since we had taken the first flight of our trip, from Athens to Rome, there was nothing that she could do for us. What happened to our salesman Sawyer’s words to us? We will be there for you every step of the way. We were left to figure it out for ourselves. We are extremely disappointed, and won’t choose Collete on any of our future travels.

there was a lot of travel and sightseeing packed into this trip. while it was wonderful, it was a little too much for some people. i believe the explanation of the trip needs to be more forthcoming with the amount of travel and the speed at which we had to travel to see everything. While this is a great tour, people need to know it is not a "relaxing" trip. It was quite difficult for older and those with health issues to fully particpate. i do not necessarily think the tour should be changed but just make people aware of how busy they will be and that they may only be incertain places for a short time (Mykonos and Santorini) I was really disapponted that we only were on Mykonos and Santorini for a couple of hours and at night.

When we arrived in Greece, after 12 hrs of travel, we were not even allowed to shower at our hotel before the welcome dinner. We are in very good shape, yet we found the tour grueling.

After 12 hrs of travel, we were taken directly to the welcome dinner....without being able to shower or settle in. The tour did not allow for relaxation. We were dropped off at Mykonos and Santorini at b.c. the end of the day. So disappointing, as we would have loved to take pictures, but the sun was going down. The tour was grueling for those of our group who could not make the steps and I th therefore, stayed behind!)

Collette always does an excellent job with their tours and their tour managers are top notch! This tour was very fast-paced and should have been rated at least 4 stars rather than three. It would be nice to have more time in Athens, possibly add an extra day. Also more time on the island of Santorini… Where were the iconic blue roofs?

The best part of the tour was our guide Georgios! However, there was far too much for even the most able bodied of us crammed into each day. This should have been a nine day tour instead of seven. There was absolutely no time to absorb the culture at leisure (despite our daily planner indicating the contrary) Also too much precious time wasted at the carpet weaving factory on our Turkey stop of the cruise. Plus they gave most of us a hard-sell .... which was uncomfortable. Great refreshments at the end though! Sorry, one more negative. Except for the 3-night cruise.... way too many one evening stays at different hotels (at most of which our arrival was just before dinner &bags out the door at 7-8 am. Exhausting!

Booked travel to arrive before the start date. Planned our pre tour hotel to be in close proximity to the tour hotel. A few weeks before the tour started we were told that the hotel has changed and the new hotel is 45 mins away from the original hotel. Asked Collette to assist us in getting from our hotel to the new hotel. They simply said they would not, since we did not book the pretrip through them. We later received an offer to transfer us with the main group from the airport to the new hotel for $50.00 a person, but we would need to get to the airport first. (We would have to drive pass the new hotel to get to the airport). We found our own way to get to the new hotel. The "You are on your own" attitude really made us feel like our patronage is not valued.

Trip Rating:
The tour could of been completed with in a few days. The cruise portion was less than desirable as the ship seems outdated. As with most Collette tours, you are rushed from location to location. If you want to be relaxed this is not the tour for you. The hotel accommodations are misleading as Collette tends to get a vast discount on the rooms which puts you in the most undesirable rooms in hotels, by elevators, no view, smaller than normal rooms, etc. The best part and probably the best part of all Collette tours are the guides. They are enjoyable to be with and make undesirable accommodations, cranky cotravelers, and mediocre food selection a distance memory. On this trip Savvas Papasavvas was awesome, he always had a smile and kept the groups spirit's high.

Everything & everyone I dealt with were very professional & pleasant, except for Lucy, the tour manager. I left a review with her in a sealed envelope. Hopefully it was received by the company. She was very abrasive towards me, my kids, & others on the tour. It made the tour very stressful at times. It will probably take me a couple of years to pay off this trip, but I was trying to make a really great memory for our family. My husband & kids' father passed away 2 1/2 years ago & we've had to move 3 times in 2 years. Only 1 year before my husband died, my youngest son was very sick & almost died. We've been through alot! And I really wanted a trip that was joyful, relaxing, inspiring, & educational for me & my kids. Lucy was like a tyrant with her schedule. The 1st morning I had to use the restroom, when it was time to get on the bus. So I was 5 minutes late. She loudly reprimanded me in front of the group & then brought it up again a few more times throughout the day. She sternly stated that if I or anyone else was late again, she would leave us & snapped, "I'm not joking!" At one of the stops, my son had to use the restroom, while the tour was still happening. The group was ready to move to the next stop, but he wasn't back. Lucy refused to let me wait for him & said that she would wait. Me & my other son reluctantly continued with the group to the next stop. He had tried to find the group after the restroom & had gotten lost. When we found him over an hour later, he was visibly shaken & fighting back tears. Lucy walked up to him & said, "I'm not even gonna say to you what I want to right now cuz it wouldn't be nice! Now get on the bus! NOW!" My other son, who is autistic, was shaken up too about his brother being lost & left. On the next tour, I told them it was time to head back to the bus, after some brief free time, he began to run because he was scared of getting left like his brother. I screamed for him to stop, but he was in a panic & almost ran right out in front of a car. So you can imagine my anxiety level was through the roof! I felt so stressed & frustrated that I was going to be paying on this experience for a couple of years & it was bringing more stress into our lives instead of less. My autsitic son also misplaced his Vox & Lucy kept insisting he better find it. We searched & searched to no avail. I finally pulled Lucy aside, after days of this going on & on, & told her to stop harrassing him about it. That I would just pay for it. Before we got on the bus to head back to the airport, I tried to give her cash for it & she insisted I had to give her my CC#. I felt very uncomfortable with that, but I did. I hope she can be trusted with that. Other people in the group pulled me & my kids aside, asking if we were ok, as they were also disturbed by her treatment of us. Also there was another lady on the tour that she kept reprimanding over asking "too many questions". Everytime she had a question, Lucy would roll her eyes & say, "How did I know that YOU would have a question?". At the end of the tour, she "congratulated" us for being a group that "wasn't too hard to deal with" & said that she was relieved that nobody on this tour had oxygen tanks (as if that's something someone would actually CHOOSE for themselves!

The tour was planned out pretty well, as far as the sited we visited. I was amazed at some of the beautiful places we were able to tour. But there was one night where we were expected to pay for our own food & were taken to a restaurant that was a little pricier than I would've chosen as a single mom paying for myself & 2 sons. We were also only given a choice between 2 dishes. This seemed out of line for us being responsible to pay for it ourselves. Also I was told that there would be gluten free options for my son. But this proved to be not the case at most places. The worst experience was on the airplane. The only thing they had available in the 14 hours of flying was a small bowl of fruit, small amount of chicken, & a small salad. They also only provided 2 small cups of water to drink. He ended up fainting, which scared all of us. Luckily he was ok the next day. But a stewardess actually came to me & said that we could've told them ahead of time about his gluten intolerance & they would've made sure he had plenty. Well, I thought they were informed by you, my tour company that I had informed about it. So not happy about that! Throughout the tour, every restaurant server we encountered were completely oblivious to his need to be gluten free. The only places he could really eat well were the breakfast buffets at the hotels. We made due & he didn't starve, but for the amount of money paid, being able to have decent meals shouldn't have been a challenge. That was a completely unnecessary stressor. I would like to complement you on the site tour guides chosen, especially the one for Ephesus. They were very informative, patient, & kind. The cruise was a bit of a disappointment. The desserts were delicious, but the buffet meal food offerings weren't so much. Some of it was good. But the majority was very bland. It was also not open throughout the day. I've never experienced that on a cruise before. Also it was cold & the buffet was only available to eat in outdoor dining area. That was not pleasant. The cruise shows at night were excellent, as also were the live musicians playing throughout the day! I really enjoyed the entertainment part of it.

Interesting ancient sites, but organization of trips to islands was poor.

Trip Rating:
The organization in Greece was not great. Cruise ship delivered us to port of interest in the late afternoon (around 5:00 p.m.) By the time all who had reserved the sightseeing (like Santorini), disembarked, and got to the site, it was getting cooler and darker. Difficult to see much and very little time to enjoy it. The first stop, day before, was Mykilos, which again was to have been around 4:30 - 5:00 p.m., but bad weather caused a cancellation. Finally, a number of the tourists were not able to see or travel to many of the sites because of difficulty in walking, climbing and stamina for such a rigorous trip. Should have been coded a 4 as difficult. Two of the hotels also had very uncomfortable beds. Countryside of Greece was beautiful (from bus), but most of Greece was covered in grafitee. One day in Turkey (Ephesus) was a longer day, great site and much cleaner area (Turkey). This was a very expensive trip with long hours on the bus. Truthfully, I would not recommend it. I have taken several other Collette tours and have really enjoyed them.

Trip Rating:
See prior notes on Greece, particularly cruise portion, which could have been much better - poor planning of visits to islands. Most cruise ships sail at night and give you the full day to tour. We spent most of the day on the ship and only had a few hours to tour - when weather permitted. Hotels and ship were clean and most were comfortable (beds). Food was good but not exceptional, esp. ship. Beautiful countryside, Ephusus was very interesting and cleaner than Greece (Athens in particular).

Crystal cruise line was a disappointment. Ship large meeting room was too small to accommodate number of guests waiting to be called for disembarkment and/or tender pickup. Also food on ship was very unsatisfactory. We always felt rushed, but had to wait.....whether on ship or bus. Stops were interesting, but so full of people wanting to sell us something. Perhaps that’s just Greece, but I do recall Italy being similar. Our guide - Kerri, was wonderful along with some of the local guides. Bus driver, Yanis was excellent. Perhaps it was time of year, or just poor planning. I always felt rushed & didn’t really “feel” the ambiance in each stop as I had expected from my Italy tour in 2018.
