I have an event in London on Dec. 17 and want to travel after this date and through Christmas, 2026. Definitely interested in a northern lights tour or a trip in/around London and environs. Solo traveler.

Unfortunately, based on our current calendar we do not have any guaranteed tour dates that line up with your event and travel window. The earliest departure after 17 DEC 2026 for our Iceland's Magical Northern Lights tour would be for a tour start date of 31 Dec 2026, returning 5 JAN 2027. You can take just one itinerary for London or one itinerary for Iceland, or we can try to link one of our London-centered tours to the Northern Lights tour. The only caveat is that our London tours are limited into the month of December, so we cannot work around your event. If you have flexibility beyond the 17 DEC 2026 date, please advise.

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.Show more
