    Collette exceeded our expectations. We like to travel independently but decided to give their small group tour a chance. Every detail was perfect. We did activities we would never have done on our own. We will definitely travel with Collette again.

    I was the only single traveler on that bus so shouldn't go. The bus rides were too long too many meals were not included. My favorite part was a RAN Island magnificent place ireland has a whole every place we went I had a wonderful time. My objective was to get to Cork. We stayed so far out of Cork. I couldn't even go. I wanted to see where my family was born. That never happened. The Irish State farm was great. Jamisons tour was wonderful Sean was a great tour guide Marc. Excellent bus driver can't see nicer things about them, but too many meals. I had to buy too much time on my own and if I was a solo, no I wouldn't recommend this tour to anyone that is single.

    The Dingle Peninsular and the Aran Islands were tops for me. Combine that with the Cliffs of Moher and the trip was spectacular! Marion McDonald also made the trip very memorable, great sense of humor, we connected on that issue very well! Tour was at a pace we seniors could handle well, with free time to see things on our own or just catch our breath. Loved Dublin!!!

    It was our 1st Collette tour. I really liked the organization from start to finish. The countryside was beautiful . Our tour guide Aidan was excellent, including knowledgeable and entertaining. It also helped having a great group touring with us. We picked the perfect time to go or we were just lucky, we didn't see a drop of rain the whole time there. Looking forward to our next Collette vacation.

    The only upset was the loss of a day. We arrived at our hotel about 6:30 A.M. there were no accommodations for us. We were in a residual area. We were on the couches in reception, no way to get coffee as it was to early for the restaurant to open. We were able to get in our room about 12:30 I feel there needs to be better planning if travelers get in early A.M. I feel we lost a day that was paid for and was an inconvenience that should not have happened.
