Avoid Collette Tours at all costs. Their customer services has seriously deteriorated which, may put you at risk. My wife and I have travelled several times with Collette because they partner with Marriott Vacation Club. On this trip my wife and two other “guest” tested positive for Covid (I did not) while staying at a wonderful but remote villa in Tuscany. Our tour director Alexa abandoned us when the tour moved on stating we were no longer her responsibility and that we would be contacted by Collette’s emergency services within 24 hours. We were not and our repeated calls and messages went unanswered for days. Eventually reaching customer service we were told that we were on our own until my wife tested negative or 14 days had elapsed. Fortunately the fine management and staff at Villa Leechi stepped up and provided for our needs (at our expense) for two weeks. After two weeks Collette arranged very expensive last minute flights back home again at our expense. They were unable to arrange transportation to the nearest international airport, nearly 4 hours away. The Villa management again stepped in and arranged our transport at a cost of nearly $1,000. BOTTOM LINE: Collette Tour’s management is either incompetent, uncaring, or both. Travel with them at your own risk. If something goes wrong you’re on your own.Show more

We had a wonderful time on this tour. The selection of sites in Italy was perfect and the tour guide (Antonella Regi) was the perfect host and guide. She explained to us the history of the region, gave us lots of time to explore and selected wonderful site hosts to give us additional details on what we were seeing. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Tuscany and will plan on another tour with Collette in the futureShow more
