 Collette Vacations is more of a large-group type of company that likes to fill its busses.  But they have some interesting, specialized itineraries that are worth looking at.  I did Oberammergau with them in 2010 as  as it was a decent price (Oberammergau trips can be very expensive) and was bundled with a trip in Croatia.   We had excellent 5th and 6th row seats for the Passion Play and the hotels were well-located and very good.   The guide was good and pretty much everything was included. I don't recall having to pay for any optional tours.    Collette tours are different than OAT in:  size of group; has more "sightseeing" rather than "experiencing" and in terms of cost-per-day, probably less expensive.   If Collette tours has an unusual itinerary that you are interested in, you probably won't be disappointed.
