Is internal transportation provided between the different locations?

airfaire not included?? How much is it and who handles that ??

Our rates online do not include airfare. We do however offer air packages under our Flexible Contracted Rates. Flexible airfare is contracted airfare, ticketed approximately 60 to 65 days prior to departure. A deposit is required to hold the airfare, and the remaining balance will be due with final payment date. If you would like to book flights with Collette, please let us know your legal passport traveler name, the desired roundtrip airport, and/or let us know of any planned deviations, and we can assist with quotes or confirmation of an air package once you have reviewed the available options.

My tour to Italy was flawless!!! It's almost hard to believe going with a group of 40 could go so smooth! Ivan our tour manager was fabulous. Our bus driver Andrea was wonderful too. We were so cared for & I believe Ivan went out of his way to provide extra local tours & assistance with ATM usage which were fabulous. He had such a wonderful personality. All of our accommodations were great. I especially loved Vatican City. Each destination was great. I didn't realize Lake Como would be so fabulous either. I enjoyed the ferry ride a lot. Each destination was more exciting than I even imagined. Thank you!!Show more
