From culturally immersive small group journeys to single city stays and river cruises, Collette offers 170+ expertly guided tours, designed by travelers, for travelers. Destination experts seek out the best dining experiences, accommodations, and cultural activities — so you have to do is enjoy them. Explore the world with Collette — the leaders in guided travel since 1918. 

Because “how” is the next question after “where” 

Do you want an itinerary packed with the must-sees and enriching experiences? Prefer a laid-back locale at a leisurely pace? A cultural deep dive with a small group? With Collette, you’ll find a variety of styles to fit your needs and interests. 

  • Small Group Explorations: Designed just for small groups, you’ll dive deeper; accessing experiences, accommodations, and destinations that large groups can’t. Ideal for savvy, confident travelers who want to connect with locals and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow travelers and local tour managers.
  • Classic: Feature-rich journeys provide an overview of a destination with depth; including must-sees and opportunities to connect with the local culture. Ideal for travelers looking to shake up their routine in a safe, interesting way.
  • Spotlights: Travelers get to know a destination in depth, with a single hotel serving as home base for the entire tour. Spotlights tours are across Europe and the United States; featuring city stays and regional “hub-and-spoke” exploration. Ideal for fans of cruising and those looking for a deeper dive into a single destination.
  • Cruising: Tours range from adventure cruises to land and sea packages, private yacht and small ship tours to traditional river cruising. Ideal for travelers who enjoy cruising and value the insights of a Tour Manager. These tours are often paired with Collette’s other travel styles, earning the Cruising tag with 3+ nights on a ship.
  • Faith: Tours include sightseeing and visits to holy sites, plus included Mass and devotional services. Expect modest 3-star accommodations on these spiritual journeys. Ideal for anyone looking to connect with their spirituality on a deeper level.
