- AConnie· June 5th, 2025The tour of Ireland with Collette was the first time I'd been to Ireland or used Collette and I was superbly impressed with both. I went with our area Chamber of Commerce who also did an exceptional job. Probably the most memorable experience was kissing the Blarney Stone on St Patrick's day. The history and castles were amazing. I was impressed with the pick of hotels and the choices made to sightsee. Bathrooms were always clean and people welcoming. I'm looking forward to my next trip with Collette.Show moreTrip date: March 2025Review collected by Collette

- AMarna· June 5th, 2025This trip was a gift to myself for my 70th birthday. It was an amazing trip, and our tour guide Aidan Carrigh, and bus driver, Dave, made the trip so very special! Aidan was so knowledgeable explaining the history of every place we saw. He even sang to us! My favorite place was the Blarney Castle, and kissing the Blarney Stone. The accommodations and food were all top notch. I would recommend that trip for any senior citizen.Show moreTrip date: March 2025Review collected by Collette

- AAmanda· June 5th, 2025Absolutely fantastic tour! Kissing the Blarney Stone on St. Pat's was a highlight, as well as seeing where my ancestors lived. The tour manager and bus driver were top notch, and all of the people we met were so warm and friendly. The only let-down was the 3 day Scotland extension, we had a horrible hotel and Colette booked our arrival flight so late we missed the welcome dinner. There was no one to meet us, and no welcome letter. We felt like we just slipped through the cracks. It wasn't worth the price paid for the extension, but the 12 days in Ireland were amazing and worth every penny!Show moreTrip date: March 2025Review collected by Collette
- AJacqueline· June 5th, 2025The most northern place in the island of Ireland, Malin Head. Breathtaking views. It was a cold, windy day but so worth it. Giant's Causeway was fascinating. The rock formations were unbelievable, looked as if they were deliberately formed in the round stepping stone appearance.Show moreTrip date: March 2025Review collected by Collette
