    Resolved
    Complaint is against collette travel, reservation # ******* My husband and I just completed this tour in Ireland. The tour itself was wonderful. However, we had multiple issues in making the initial reservation, such as wrong passport numbers TSA precheck numbers left off our reservation, tour guide not informed of my food allergy. However, the clincher, and source of this complaint is not being met at ******** by a driver, whom collette booked for us at $79.00 each. into ****** (this was booked by Collette before we went to Ireland to join the tour). According to page 10 of their vacation documents, he was to meet us a ************ WHICH NO LONGER EXISTS IN THE TREMINAL. I did not receive the driver's text until the next day. We had to order a UBER for 93 pounds ($120.00). My contention is that Collette owes us a refund of a minimum of $159.00. I have contacted Collette regarding this mater on April 9j, 2024, and have not received any correspondence from them.

    I had booked a Collette tour through a travel agent about 10 months in advance and fully paid for it. Around 1 month prior to the trip, I get notified that the trip was overbooked, and I was cut from the trip. There was no effort by Collette to make this right. I did receive a refund, but that doesnt cover the time and money I had spent preparing for the trip and anxiously looking forward to it. I reached out online to Collette when this happened, and never heard anything back. Collette gladly took my money, but I have heard nothing in the way of an apology or anything since.

    To Whom It May ******* , 
                   The reservation was made by **************** travel advisor on July 13, 2023. At that time of booking, our agent clearly stated that the selected tour date had already reached its maximum passenger limit and the traveler would be placed on a waiting list. While Collette understands it is disappointing the wait list did not clear, our agent set the correct expectations at the time of booking that this was a possibility. We are happy to answer any additional questions in on this matter. 

    Thank you,
