    My partner and I were to have left this evening on a trip of a lifetime, but due to Paul 's disregard for professionalism, he sent us the wrong itinerary, sending us into a panic, just a week out. I emailed him several times, but to date have had no response from Paul or Collette Tours. We cancelled the trip due to the fact that we were afraid we'd travel from the United States to London and be left stranded. Be VERY careful in hiring these people. They talk a good game but are not trustworthy.

    The Spotlight on London tour was remarkable. It included all the highlights of London and still had enough downtime that we didn't exhaust ourselves. I particularly enjoyed staying at the DoubleTree at the Tower of London/ Tower Hill location. It was so close to so much history that we could easily walk to see the attractions. Also the hotel was very close to the Tower Hill subway station, so we could get anywhere in London by using the tube. My family was very appreciative of the wonderful breakfast buffet that was offered every morning at the hotel. I was very happy with the care and concern Astrid, our tour guide, showed us. She was very professional, friendly, and open to all questions and discussions. She stated many times that she was thankful that our group watched out for each other. Astrid even took us up to the check-in counter at Heathrow and got us securely on our way home. The welcoming dinner and the farewell dinner we're both wonderful. Nice restaurants and great food. The history covered in this tour was amazing. My brain was scrambled with everything we saw. Windsor Castle, the Tower of London, the tube, the musical Tina in the West End, Greenwich and the Cutty Sark, boating on The Thames, Buckingham Palace, and the tours through the streets of London and the City of London. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it was wonderful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.

    Flight delays in both directions. 9+ hours EWR/LHR (mechanical) so we missed the Welcome Dinner and 20 hours ORD/STL (weather) with no offer of food or lodging vouchers. The tour itself was excellent and Astrid Maslen was helpful and informative. Windsor Castle (optional excursion) and Tina the Musical were favorites.

    London is beautiful during the holiday season with all its spectacular lights. We would have liked the tour to include more museums and actual access to places, rather than just a drive by. (Such as Westminster Abby) . The Doubletree Hilton was horrible. Dirty, broken showers and toilets, etc.

    Harrison was a delightful, well mannered and knowledgeable tour guide. I specifically enjoyed how he was able to make part of the tour personal by taking us to his home town of Greenwich and even showing us the church where his grandparents were married just days prior to WW2. Wonderful story teller Harrison is and makes you feel as if you are right there part of history.
