Now we are a worldwide company with offices in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.” – Alice I. Sullivan, Chairperson of the Collette Board.Collette is about family As his family grew, Dan’s children took on active roles in the company – in sales, tour development, marketing, tour guiding, and in its charitable arm. Working with a team of dedicated employees, they all stayed true to the original vision of expanding travel opportunities for everyone. That tradition continued as Dan’s eldest child, Dan Sullivan Jr., took the reins as President and CEO in 1990 and the company flourished.

An upgraded hotel in Bergen would have been greatly appreciated. The hotel that was used couldn't accommodate a large influx of people with only one elevator.

Great trip but last hotel in Bergen had missing trim in plain view and wasn't equal to the other hotels especially Hotel Bristol in Oslo. First night/ last night and few other meals meals were average. For such historic places I would thought the meals would be tastier.

Norway is a beautiful country. Tour guide Koppany Tuba is informative, entertaining & professional. My only complaint was at the Baltic hotel in Oslo. Our room was above a reception hall. The wedding band turned up the sound at 11:15 pm - 1:15 am. Our room jumped. No sleep then. I called the front desk & no answer.

The reason why this tour was so extraordinary: It was due to the knowledge and personality of the tour manager, Köpi. He was a genial guy who shared his knowledge of the area in an entertaining and informative way. The itinerary of this tour was perfect. The landscape of the Norway countryside was breathtaking.
