    The Edinburgh Military Tattoo made this trip a worthwhile visit. Otherwise, hotels were just average outside of Edinburgh. Food wasn’t particularly good compared to either England or Ireland. Tour guide did not provide any quiet time on longer rides. I was on two tours in April and May (France and Italy) with Collette which were much better all around.

    The trip was wonderful with a great tour guide. It allowed us for a little extra excursions throughout the trip. Accommodations were great.

    Festive, Dramatic Tattoo performance! Highly recommended. Our guide was witty, personable, intelligent, fully capable, and a complete delight! This trip was a memory for my lifetime.

    The tour was not well planned or executed. The tour manager was fabulous, but what can you do when you’re dealt a crappy hand???? It was obvious Collette had not planned this trip and we back tracked and doubled back so many times and wasted SO MUCH TIME on this trip. At least 2 days out of 11 were complete waste of time on the bus. The accommodations were sketchy, and even though we’ve gotten refunds for them, that doesn’t help when you’re sold a 4-star trip and get a 1 Star accommodation. It was just so obvious that no one put any effort into planning this tour. Would NOT suggest Collette to anyone.

    Tour appeared to have been detoured from original. Listing. We backtracked over same roads several times because of a change in overnight venues. Several destinations were left off because of that. Hotel accommodations for me and my friend were cramped while others in our group boasted of nicer rooms. I hesitate to find fault with accommodations when traveling to other countries as their style may not be reflective of mine.

    Overall our tour was great. The tour manager Andrew and coach driver Pat were exceptional. The itinerary was well planned and paced (good locations with a nice amount of free time planned). Glasgow, Oban and Edinburgh accommodation's were perfect BUT two of our hotels were far below par. The sales literature stated "five handpicked accommodations". My instinct tells me the Inverness and Dundee hotels assigned many of our tour participants to the "cheap seats". We anticipated non air-conditioned rooms but rooms with radiators that would not turn off, windows that were difficult to open, worn out furniture and wallpaper separating from the wall were not what we had hoped for or assumed we were paying for. Perhaps Collette did not realize the customer's room assignments were less than desirable because the other locations were fantastic and exactly what we had hoped for. Planned meals were great. I would definitely inquire about hotel room assignments and upgrade rooms before i signed up for this tour again.

    The extension trip to London. Scotland trip was a 2 to maybe 3 star. Not worth the price paid. Didn’t feel we got the quality of trip for the price paid.

    The tour itself was fantastic. I loved most of the locations we visited, especially Oban and the islands of Mull and Iona. I would have loved a little more time in Glasgow and Edinburgh. I felt the planned activities were great and I appreciated the opportunity to have some free time to explore on our own. Our Tour Manager, Andrew Hynde, was excellent. He kept us well informed and entertained with historical facts and witty stories. Our driver, Pat Quale, was excellent as well. He was professional, patient, and kind. The downside for me was in some of our accomodations. Our lodging in Glasgow and Edinburgh were modern and convenient to attractions. Loch Melfort was charming and relaxing. I loved that we were treated to three nights’ stay there. BUT our stays in Inverness and Dundee were disappointing. Our room in Inverness was down a labyrinthine hallway, past the pool, to an elevator or stairs which then took us back up to what felt like a room directly over the pool. It was unusually warm for May, but we could not get the window open enough to get a breeze. We tried placing the supplied desk fan in front of the window, but the cord wouldn’t reach. I had two very restless nights there. It’s a real shame, because the hotel is on the River Ness and a room that looked over the River would have been lovely. But our view was of a steeply pitched roof and a building behind that. Our room in Dundee was not much better. Supposedly a four star hotel, our room at the Landmark Dundee was cramped and shabby. The bed was uncomfortable and wallpaper was peeling away from the wall. For some reason an armchair was placed at the desk, so it was nearly impossible to move around it. The worst of it was that I saw a roach on the floor by my bed when I woke up. I’m really glad we only stayed there one night. My overall impression of the trip is favorable. I liked the small tour group. Our activities were interesting and well paced. What I expected to be a five star experience all the way only earns four stars, due the disappointing accomodations in those two locations. It’s enough to make me hesitate to use Collette as a tour company on a future trip. We’ll see.
