Travel Worry-Free

Every Moment of Your Trip Matters

As travelers, we understand that your trip starts at your doorstep and every moment counts. That’s why we offer private chauffeur service to and from the airport. It’s why we developed an industry-leading travel protection plan. And it’s why we offer unrivaled 24-7 support to our travelers out on the road.

We know that the more peace of mind you have, the more you can relax and enjoy the journey. And that’s why we’re with you, every step of the way.

Travel Protection Plan

We get it. Life happens and plans change. With our unrivaled Travel Protection Plan, you can cancel you trip for any reason, right up until the day before your departure and get a full refund, less the cost of the plan. This is something we’ve done for decades, because the trust of our travelers matters the most. So go ahead and book that dream trip with confidence — no blackout windows or hidden restrictions.

Private Chauffeur Service

When you buy air with Collette, secure door-to-door chauffeur service to and from the airport, plus hotel transfers, and all internal transfers during your trip. This means a private sedan comes straight to your door, loads your bags, and whisks you off to the airport and back home again when you return. It’s the perfect stress-free way to start and end your trip.

Expert Tour Managers

Each Collette tour is guided by a regionally-based expert. This means that from the moment you touch down until the moment you leave, you’ll be in the hands of a trusted Tour Manager with insider knowledge about the culture, language, and history of your destination — so you can get the most in-depth experience without any of the stress.

Guaranteed to Go

We have thousands of guaranteed departure dates across our 170+ tours. Book your tour with peace of mind, knowing that it will leave as planned and your departure date won’t change.

Social Responsibility

Make Travel a Force for Good

Travel isn’t just about exploring the world — it’s about making a positive impact. Every journey at Collette is designed responsibly, using our values as our guiding light. These values are at the center of everything we do and every decision we make.

Our Mission

At Collette, we believe that when done right, travel has the power to strengthen communities and protect the places we explore. That’s why every tour features Responsible Travel Highlights — experiences thoughtfully designed to connect you with local organizations and sustainable partners who are making a difference. These moments do more than inspire — they help ensure that the joy of travel benefits everyone, everywhere.

Our Framework for Impact

We deliver impact through four interconnected pillars:

Responsible Travel
Extensively vetting every parter we include on every tour to ensure our tours benefit the communities we visit, not just pass through them.

Responsible Business
Holding ourselves accountable to ethical, sustainable practices companywide.

Volunteering
Empowering every employee to make a difference locally and globally by offering over a week of paid volunteer time annually.

Grantmaking
Investing directly in community partners and systems change, with over 25 years of impact and $10 million total giving in all the years combined.

Multigenerational Travel

Focus on family. We’ll handle the rest.

There are countless benefits to family travel. Experiencing new things together. Taking time to enjoy each other’s company without life’s typical distractions. Connecting with loved ones who don’t live near us.

No matter why you decide to travel together, or where you choose to go, spending quality time with family should be the only thing that matters. That’s why families book Collette tours – to let experts take care of all the details.

Why Book Your Multigenerational Family Trip with Collette?

Making Memories Together
Unique experiences are made richer with family by your side. And the journey lives on through memories retold. "Do you remember that game drive with Grandma? We came so close to the elephants!"

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
Planning a trip is hard work. Organizing the Blarney Stone visit? Finding a ride to the river cruise in Costa Rica? That stuff takes away from your time to focus on each other. Let us handle the logistics.

Learning From Each Other
Traveling with family is the best game of trivia. From architectural features to history, the facts your family members have tucked away may surprise you. (And your Tour Manager can fill in any gaps!)

Exploring Your Ancestry
Cultural heritage forms our family traditions and beliefs. Tracing your family's roots is powerful. There's no better way to discover these countries than with your family. Go together, with an expert by your side.

Private Touring for Families
Whether you're booking a large family trip or the best family reunion ever, you can book a private tour with 10 or more travelers. Go on. Invite everyone and their mother.

Playing New Roles
We think of people in their day-to-day roles. Parent. Sibling. Child. When you travel on tour and responsibilities shift, you let loose and get to know each other as adventurers, too.

Collette Knows Family Travel
We have been family-owned and operated since we opened our doors in 1918. Our team loves traveling with family! We truly value the magic of exploring the world together.
 

Low Season

Less is More on a Low-Season Tour

Explore popular destinations with more flexibility and fewer crowds. Whether you're searching for tranquility or a deeper connection with the locals, off season travel is one of the best ways to experience a destination.

6 Reasons to Love the Low Season

More Affordable
Off-season travel offers significant cost savings on flights, accommodations, and day-to-day activities.

Better Service
Smaller crowds mean more personalized service and shorter wait times at restaurants, museums, and attractions.​​​​​​​

More Peace
Peak season can be crowded and overwhelming, while the low season offers opportunities for quieter, more serene travel experiences.

Authentic Experiences
Experience destinations like the locals do - with less hustle and more room to appreciate the beauty around you.​​​​​​​

More Sustainable
Low season travel reduces the strain on a destination’s resources, meaning less waste and lower pollution levels.

Support Local Economies
​​​​​​​
Low season tourism brings vital income to local economies during quieter periods, helping to sustain businesses and livelihoods year-round.
