City & Culture Pacific Northwest Tours & Trips
The First Nations experiences here are quite special and personal. You'll join small groups of 9-13 people for traditional welcome ceremonies, cedar brushing rituals and cultural sharing sessions in places like Klahoose territory in Desolation Sound. One of our best routes includes spiritual bathing at historic village sites and hands-on activities where you'll learn Dreamcatcher weaving at Whistler's Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Center. Our travelers often tell us how much they value these intimate settings where they can really connect with their Indigenous guides.

Overall, our Pacific Northwest bus tour by Collette was good. Later, I will explain why it was not great. First I must tell you that Joel Hoadley, our tour manager, and Tim, our bus driver, were simply the BEST! We had some mobility issues within our group, including a fall resulting in broken bones of the hand, and Joel handled it very well. Proper medical attention was arranged and accommodations made by both Joel and Tim to allow that particular couple to proceed with the tour. (Clearly this tour was beyond their abilities.) Highlights were many! For me, they included Multnomah Falls, stop at Cobble Beach timed in order to see the tide pools, Redwood National Park, (must tell you of a super surprise after we walked the path thru ancient forest: Joel greeted us with Northwest mimosas and Marion Berry pie! As you get older surprises are few, and this was a great surprise in the am.),ferry ride that included the bus, jet boat ride on the Rouge river, Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s wharf, the “gum wall”, dinner at a lumberjack restaurant, and the casino lodgings which had very nice accommodations. The tour itself I felt was rushed overall. More so in the first 4 days. A 15 minute restroom stop just could not be accomplished. Now, why I did not give this tour an excellent? Before we left for this tour, I phoned the Park Central Hotel in San Francisco to speak to the concierge and book a tour of Alcatraz, Chinatown, and Muir Woods as we had extended our stay for 2 days. “Kevin” at their front desk wold me they had no concierge at this time and no one could help with securing sight-seeing tours. Told me they were doing top to bottom renovations, and have limited number of rooms because of it. No restaurant, just grab and go food. As we had already paid for the additional nights, I felt it was not the kind of accommodations we would be satisfied with. Paying full price with those missing services seemed wrong. I left a message for Collette, as it was a weekend and they were not answering calls unless it was n emergency. I didn’t feel it was an emergency and I had the confidence that somehow either Collette or Tourradar would handle my concerns. I then phone Tourradar and spoke with “Ashley”, who was unaware of the situation at Park Central. Ashley took notes and said she’d speak with Collette the following Monday. As we would already be on our tour, she advised me to speak to our tour manager upon arrival in Seattle. I did this, and he felt some adjustment would be made and he’d keep me appraised. Well.....the only thing that happened was that he said the city guide would talk with us after our city tour and help with sight-seeing opportunities. We spoke to the city tour guide and he basically did nothing. I am very disappointed in how this was handled. If we had not extended our stay, it probably would have been okay, not good, but okay. My impression of Collette has been down-graded. Seeing nothing was done for us at the end of our tour, I feel a monetary refund is due. Not a credit for future travel with Collette or Tourradar. It’s sad and disappointing to have this color our wonderful trip! Please respond. Than you for your time. Sandra Sussek

Ken, our guide was knowledgeable, efficient, courteous and fun. The tour would have been better with a full day in Seattle spending 2 nights there. You could skip Leavenworth, Yakima and the nature center in Bend.
