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.

Our recent Collette trip to Italy was indeed A TRIP of a LIFETIME! Our host, Federico, couldn't have been better and our accomodations in Rome took our breath away! The Amalfi Coast was even better than I had expected and the food was "to die for!" Now all my wife and I have to do is decide where we want to go next! Thank you, Collette!

Our tour guide Maria Pilar (Cookie) was incredible, so organized and knowledgeable. The tour itself was great lots to see, it was a busy tour but there was down time. The food was incredible. We loved the Colosseum, Pompeii, Sorrento and eating lunch at the base of Mount Vesuvius was amazing. The food tour was fun and the food was delicious!our individual tour guides were very knowledgeable and fun. We had a great group of people to travel with. The only thing we would do differently is, we wouldn’t go in the summer again. Summer is very crowded and it was very warm 100+ during our tour week.

The trip was good, the weather was horrible with 82% humidity which isn't anyone's fault. I think too many events were scheduled on several of the days. We had no time to relax and go to the pool and even eat out on our own. Our guides were good and the bus driver excellent. Our flights were dreadful. A level 3 has a lot of walking which I had no idea how much. It wouldn't have been so bad except for the heat.

Collette is a wonderful tour company. My experience is my own fault. This is a 3 level tour. However if one is older, have some difficulty with back, knee, hip, and uneven surfaces along with staircases this is not your tour. After researching this trip no where did I see that I would climb 10-20 staircases a day, walk at least a quarter mile multiple times a day from and to the bus. In my past tours we were dropped at the door. Not this tour. I also did not know there is not cold drinks with ice, or air conditioning anywhere(our hotel room and bus had AC). The temp was 85 and above. I have never been so hot and in pain in my life. We paid for upgraded rooms and I was embarrassed at our view. Money wasted. However the bright spot was Frederico. He attempted to accommodate me by checking on me frequently and getting me a cab when I couldn’t walk anymore. He was amazing. I deeply appreciate being refunded our capri tour. I could no longer walk and needed a day of rest. We tried multiple people to give our tickets to, however we hit a wall with that. We highly recommend Collette tours for travelers just take the time to delve in more if you have pain/mobility problems.

I wish there had been an overall tour of Rome at the beginning of the tour. It might have helped me put the city in perspective. Also, the weather in Amalfi Coast was wretched. I don’t think we should’ve taken the boat ride from one place to where the bus was. I felt unsafe getting on and off the boat. A little more time allowed for souvenir shopping would have been nice. Luigi did a good job.

Our tour manager ( Luciana Lyons) was outstanding with her organization and incredible knowledge of the sites we were visiting. As guests, we were were given adequate time for meals, shopping and visiting the historic sites. I learned so much from the guides who showed us the Vatican, the Colosseum, Pompeii just to name a few sites. I encourage travellers to explore Collette and consider their many wonderful tours.

I can't say enough about our tour manager, Sergio and motor coach driver, Pepe. Sergio was well organized, making sure that everyone in the tour group was on board with activities every step of the way. He took special care to interface with everyone in the group and ensured the needs of all were addressed. He also augmented much of the information provided by the individual tour guides. Pepe is a skilled driver who ensures the safety his passengers. He would adjust pick-up locations as necessary to account for local and weather conditions and he was always on time/schedule. Each of the local tour guides were extremely knowledgeable relative to the tour scope. They knew how to maneuver our group to avoid crowds yet not miss any tour features.

Everything on this tour was memorable! Rome is Rome, the Eternal City. Our accommodations there at the beginning of the tour were great and within easy walking distance of many sites and wonderful restaurants. The Amalfi Coast is as beautiful as many advertise. The ruins at Pompeii and Paestum were awe inspiring and the countryside at and around the buffalo mozzarella farm near Paestrum; and at the winery on the slopes of Vesuvius was beautiful. Our accommodations at Riato were both modern and excellent with extraordinary views overlooking Vietri sul Mare, Salerno and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The food and beverage service at the Hotel Riato was excellent. However, we did have trouble getting our room cool enough to suit us. The food for all the tour group dining experiences at all the other locations was great. Our last night accommodations and food in Rome were excellent.

As for our bus driver Bepbee was a terrific driver and also very courteous,helpful and professional. In regard to our Airline reservation. Very disappointed with our seats, they were not what we expected and paid for especially with a very long flight. We had paid for premium seats but didn't receive them. The Delta employee at the Gate upon arrival stated that we didn't have seats assigned to us , which was true . We had no idea what seats we had upon arrival. She further stated that that was Colette's fault. We were not very happy.

We had good experiences, but the crowded venues made it less enjoyable. We did not have a good experience with lunch at the Vatican. The only option that we were brought to was so crowded, we had to sit outside on the street curb to eat our food. Our friends didn't even get anything to eat. We thought we would see a demonstration of mosaic making, but it was really just a showroom where we felt like we were being herded to for making purchases. We would have liked more time in museums. We hurried through, seeing the highlights, but didn't have time to linger and look at what interested us. If you are going to Rome, we thought the Vatican should be part of the included tour, not an add on. That's all we did in Rome with the tour and we had to pay for it. We actually had to see Rome on our own. We came early and stayed an extra day to see Rome. Maybe it shouldn't be billed as Rome and the Amalfi Coast.
Thank you for traveling with Collette on our Rome & the Amalfi Coast tour. We're very sorry for the issues you experienced with the itinerary in Rome. Your feedback will be reviewed by the Product Design Team so that the overall touring experience for our guests can be improved.

I loved the tour. As usual, the customer service before the trip was exceptional. The tour guide and bus driver were wonderful. The local tour guides were exceptional with the exception of the local guide in the Museum of Archeology in Naples. The museum was small, but the local guide was so slow and spoke so long that the group would only move to another area every ten minutes. I struck out on my own and was able to cover the entire museum, but the others only saw about half.

My sister and I had a wonderful time in Italy because this tour included all sites that we wanted to see and more. Went to some of the greatest restaurants so typical of the Italian culture. Our tour guide Paolo S. was so accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. He was very informative telling us about things that only a true Italian citizen would know. We also had 3 other tour guides that were so informative when we were at the different sites. There is so much I can say but really want to convey that the trip was so perfect for first time travelers to Italy. The hotels were perfect especially the one in Vietre.

Our guide was kind enough to help when my grown grandson had a problem with a sinus infection. The driver was great with those curvy roads.

This was my first Collette tour and will not be my last. Excellent hotels, fabulous food except dinners at Graal Hotel and great unusual tours, i.e., winery with lunch, buffalo mozzarella factory and dinner with opera show. On the downside, the tour group was too large and the last night hotel in Rome, A Roma Lifestyle Hotel, although was beautiful and the buffet dinner was amazing, it was in the middle of nowhere. The first hotel in Rome, the Imperiale, would have been a better choice for the last night's stay. A half day in Positano or Ischia instead of a full day in Capri would have been nice. Capri was much too crowded to enjoy. Ravello is a beautiful area. Too bad we had no free afternoons to enjoy it. Our free evenings there were too short. Peppe, our bus driver, was phenomenal on the very winding Amalfi coast! Great car service from home to airport and return.

I have done several tours with Coletter and this is the first time I need to complaint about the Tour Guide who reflect very poorly and unfairly on Colette. Most likely he is new and no properly trained but he lacked the right type of personality to deal with large groups.

If you like spending hours on long bus trips because your hotel is not centrally located and if you enjoy elbowing your way through mobs of tourists then Collette is just the ticket. One of the draws of Collette's promotions was the promise of free time to explore on your own. Most of this "free time" involved segments of an hour or so starting in the middle of tourist traps with no time or information to get to places of real interest. That said, there were excursions that appealed to a majority of our group. While I was being jostled by other tourists, some of my travel companions were enjoying themselves shopping. So maybe Collette's problem is really my problem. But for me, this was one of the worst vacations I've been on. One final note. Collette's flight arrangements were awful. We had to change planes going and coming home. The latter was unavoidable. But in neither instance were we given enough time to make connections. We did so going to Rome only through the efforts of an official at the airport in Paris who allowed us to bypass the lines. Going home we had to run to make connections in Amsterdam and got to the plane only because they held the plane for us. And while we made the plane, our luggage didn't. -

My favorite memorable experiences were the two times I did not go on the planned excursions and went off on my own.

Fantastic TOUR

From beginning to end a dream tour. The Limo pickup was flawless, coming and returning. The meeting at the Rome Airport went well. All the hotels were excellent and the tour guide was fantastic. Each of the tours were inspiring and uneventful. Early warnings of the need for walking and stair climbing allowed us to be forewarned and forearmed. We knew that this wasn't a vacation for lounging around. It was a TOUR of some real exceptional places and Collette came thru again.

As usual Rome was fantastic with us visiting the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon and the Colosseum. That was capped off by dinner out with new friends on the tour. Pompeii and the Temples in Paestum were exceptional as well as the museum in Naples. Needless to say the views up and down the Amalfi coast were thrilling, including the our trip to the Isle of Capri. All in all I would highly recommend this tour.

HORRIBLE LOW QUALITY TOUR

Trip Rating:
Get a guide who actually wants to be a guide and is physically able to conduct walking tours. Book hotels with reliable wifi, with access to the beach when they are on the water, with enough transportation(shuttles, taxis) for tour members so that tour members can easily get to restaurants, the beach, the local town when on nontour time. Book guides who will actually take tour people to the local sites of interest, not just to shopping and eating hubs. To go to Capri and hear nothing of the Blue Grotto or the castello at the top is unforgivable. Insist that hotels give the level of service they claim. Have never had more horrible food - in Italy! You have to really screw up to get such consistently horrible food in Italy. -

Fedora in Rome was a great local guide, but the tours should not have been crammed all into one day. That put us both at the Coliseum and at the Vatican and St. Peters at the height of the day with seas of other tours - literally you could do nothing but be moved like cattle by the crowd. Not enjoyable at all and allowed for no time to really enjoy the sites - was like a walking drive-by.

Great tour Manager, *personal details removed by Feefo* and fine drivers *personal details removed by Feefo* & *personal details removed by Feefo*. Hotels in Rome and Amalfi offered good service too. My only disappointment was the initial room we were given in Raitio...not only was there no view of the water-it felt like we were in an oversized water closet! However, I spoke with *personal details removed by Feefo*, and the local hotel manager *personal details removed by Feefo*and with an additional charge he provided us with a great room! The hotel in Rome was fine.

Aside from the many beautiful sites, our Tour Manager *personal details removed by Feefo* has a beautiful voice singing to us many times over the PA love songs in Italian and English! Pompeii was very impressive too! On a personal note, I was able (on the one free night we had in Amalfi) to link up with cousins of mine in Poggiomarino and actually get to see my grandfather's original home and meet them for the first time too! We hope to take another Collette Tour soon! Thank you! TC

The tour guide came to the lobby at the hotel to hand shake us and introduce himself to us as soon as we entered the hotel upon our arrival which was very reassuring the rest of the travel. Every thing went well. There was no confusion. *personal details removed by Feefo* the tour guide had every thing under control. Good he was bilingual with good command of English and Italian. There was no difficulty to find him in any crowd. All the hotels and the meals were very good . Nothing to complaint. *Personal Details removed by Feefo* was a good communicator. In the bus one after noon he played the Italian songs of the 60's. I really enjoyed them. I was a student in Italy from 1964 to 1971 and left with medical degree. I am still practicing, now pat time

I liked the visit to the limoncello factory. I liked the visit to the Benedictine monastery of montecassino. I enjoyed always sitting in the small local restaurants, local food and the walk in the street and buying things from side walk which were cheap and good to give for friends and family.Most of all I liked the limoncello and wine from ITALY, the Alitalia charged me 93 Dollars for transporting it,I just found that in my American express Bill . I will enquire about it.

Our guide was wonderful, the accommodations were nice, and the bus driver was super. The hotel arrangements were well placed for all of our expeditions. Everything was pre-arranged at all of the places we visited and we enjoyed all aspects of the trip. We had a great group and a super trip. We will use Collette again. They took care of our extra adventure, and we were very pleased with our experience.

It was a great tour. The excursions were a great balance of history and interesting places. The only negative was the location of the hotel in Amalfi Coast. It was at the top of the mountain in Ravello. The view was fabulous, but it took 45 minutes to get up and down the mountain each way, which was very time consuming. We weren't at the hotel during daylight much to enjoy the view.

The trip was good except for the accommodations at Hotel Graal. While the location was Suberb the room was not a high standard. I would have liked a little more luxury. This place was bare bones. The food however was good and the service was adequate. While staying at one hotel for 5 nights was nice the location in Ravello required us to spend up to 2 hours in transit twice a day.

Trip Rating:
This was our second Collette tour (we did Costa Rica in December 2015), and once again, they knocked the ball out of the park! The biggest highlight of our Costa Rica trip was the Tour Director, and likewise for this trip, Rome and Amalfi. We were blessed to have Mirjam de Rejt as our Tour Director. She kept us moving, kept us safe, and gave us many good laughs along the way. Her professionalism was outstanding. She was incredibly accommodating and helpful. We flew in a day early, which I would highly recommend. Even with the extra day, we found the first few days of the tour a bit overly ambitious, which is my only "knock" about this trip. The itinerary was jam packed, and if you add the optional tours, I'll guarantee you will be pooped. We opted to skip one day of the tour (the benefit of being based in one location for 5 days), and were well refreshed and ready to go for the balance of the tour. The Amalfi segment based us in Ravello, an absolutely charming town. From what I can tell, other tour dates use different Amalfi bases. Our driver was extremely careful and drove excellently. Our group was 33, and everyone was pleasant and congenial, and we made several friends whom we've already been in touch with. The hotels were fine, and the food was terrific. If I were to do this again, I would go a bit later in September, the summer crowds were still in full force. Great trip!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Rome and the Amalfi Coast. Being part of a tour has been wonderful as we meet new people while exploring a new country. The choice of hotels has always been to our satisfaction. Who wouldn't want to walk out on to a veranda/patio overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean every day?! The pace of the tour was good. This being our third tour with Collette, we really enjoy the free time to explore the small towns and eat in the smaller pubs and cafés. Perfect opportunity to take plenty of photos, too! Our tour manager, Tracy Allyne, was OUTSTANDING! She is a wealth of knowledge and shared that knowledge with so much enthusiasm! She was so pleasant and genuine. From the moment we met her to the minute she put us in the car for our trip to the airport she was wonderful. My husband was not feeling well one evening and we did not attend the planned dinner. She immediately came to see us. She had tea and bread sent to our room. We knew we had a gem!! She knew every one of the travelers by name. She even managed to teach us a little Italian! She and our driver, Antonio, worked extremely well as a team. We would highly recommend this tour and would hope that the group would be lucky enough to get The Dynamic Duo of Tracy and Antonio!!

Delayed notice of change of hotel in Rome concerning noting "previous hotel unable to accommodate .." ?? we booked our tour back in Oct. 2015. Lots of time to accommodate before being notified just a few wks before departure!! Booking appeared to have been arranged too late. The re-assigned Hotel Mediterranean room was very disappointing - not clean, carpet filthy (turned my socks black), room decor old & un-inviting, too far from downtown/venues though noted as "walkable distances" .. NOT! Nicest part was the main foyer. We had a major break in communication with our Tour Manager 1st day Re: correct meeting place instructions. Firstly, she did not give us directions first hand, we learned them from another guest which confused the issue. We spent 3 hrs. in St. Pete's Square & made 3 phone calls to her trying to get/find right directions but she still could not communicate them correctly. Turned out there were 2 other sites in the square with a similar name "Sevilla" as meeting places. We started questioning as soon as we arrived to check site 3 HRS. BEFORE MEETING TIME. I placed 1st call to Tour Manager - from this first call her instructions had us to meet at "Savilla Cafe", one we had located, other tour groups were meeting at both sites. We remained there in St. Pete's square all that time waiting & looking, no Collete tour group! At one point my husband & I separated with him at one "Sevilla Galleria" site, I at this "Sevilla Cafe" site. Turned out the meeting place was a 3rd location "Sevilla Restaurant" apparently outside square (never did locate it & nobody we asked knew it either). On a second call I left voice message to call back. The call back came as a final, last chance warning, instrs. again given were unclear, could not find her. A 3rd panic call from me turned into a last desperate attempt for help to find her location. It was under direct/constant threat bus was going to leave us there, a BLATANT REFUSAL TO COME FIND US in the square that she finally gave us a different, much clearer marker (the fountains) that easily located her without any further problem. She made us feel like COMPLETE IDIOTS! We were left so embarrassed we felt we had to apologize to rest of guests on bus who told us later they were only waiting ~5 mins. Certainly not a great way to start off tour for sure! I was so upset it took few days for me to even speak to Tour Manager again ... she never once, either then or any time during the tour apologized for her actions or responsibility here. We respectfully understand & appreciate the importance of scheduling & event timing, however, it was very clear to us, had she (neglectfully) left us in St. Pete's square that day our plan was to get a taxi back to hotel, call Colette & arrange for immediate removal from tour .... she did not give appropriate instructions, could not communicate effectively on multiple attempts & when everything was failing would not even try to locate us on site ---- UNACCEPTABLE behaviour from a Tour Manager. Our friends & family (some have travelled with Colette in past) are shocked by our experience when they hear about it, as were we. She was quick though to accept our tip envelope at end of tour (see further comments on that issue below). Another issue was the level of expectation & recommendations given to us for tipping on the introductory information sheet. Colette is a more expensive tour than many we researched. As salaried employees I find it UNBELIEVABLE that specific recommendations of 66 - 176 EU/couple be considered for both the driver & the Tour Manager for 10 day tour .. that is more money than I made as a health care provider, saving lives!! Discussions with other guests identified same opinion but most paid within those rates so not to be embarrassed .. we paid within lower rates but did so out of guilt. Reflectively it was ridiculous, esp. given our 1st day Tour Manager issue (see above note). NO RECOMMENDATION FOR "SOLICITING" EXTRA MONIES SHOULD BE MADE BY ANY COMPANY OR IT'S PARTICIPANT(S) OTHER THAN STATING "TIPPING APPRECIATED AT GUEST'S DISCRETION", not "tipping is expected in Italy ... All other tips are on you ..." & then given your list!!!!! Added extra financial burden & stress to our trip. Tour was very compressed but ok. More time in Sorrento would have been nice. Last day was long. Maybe add another day in-between as rest day to enjoy The Graal facility & Ravello more. Otherwise - overall tour content was great, the Tour guides were all excellent & informative. Other hotels were clean & welcoming. Bus drivers - all great, unreal how they maneuver those hills, traffic & narrow streets. Provided meals were all superb. Yes, I would recommend company (with some discussion) & likely would book again.

Collette Tours - 3 Start Experience
-
Trip Rating:
The Collette tour to Rome and the Amalfi Coast was very nice. However, I thought that there were too many excursions that should have been included in the trip instead of having to pay extra. Also, most of the dinners included were mediocre at best. The tour size was very good - not too many people. I would not categorize this as a deluxe tour - maybe a 3 star. I will say that the guides that met us at local sites were very good.
-
Trip Rating:
I think that considering the price of the tour compared to what was actually included was rather expensive. Also, I think that the tipping expected at the end of the tour was unreasonable.

Pre-night booking problems
-
Trip Rating:
The tour guide, Sabine, was wonderful and local tour guides for each excursion were excellent as well as knowledgeable. The bus driver was skillful, courteous, and cheerful even on the narrow and curvy roads of the Amalfi coast. One complaint was that with only a week prior to departure Collette announced a change of hotel for our Rome overnights. This was a problem because we had already booked pre-nights at the hotel we were original told we would be staying. I feel that Collette should have the rooms already booked and secured before they send out their itineraries.
-
Trip Rating:
The tour was flexible enough to meet everyone's needs. We took advantage of every optional excursion possible but never felt overwhelmed. We still had many opportunities to explore on our own or take some quiet time away from the group. Our favorite experiences were touring Pompei with knowledgable guides and also wandering the local area of Ravello and Scala. We found a charming local restaurant, Borgo San Pietro that I highly recommend.
