Collette Tours: Guiding Travelers Through Magical Experiences for 100 Years

Guided tours were once one of the primary ways to travel to exotic lands, especially when leisure travel was still such a new concept. It took people with local contacts, travel experience and know-how and an eye for the finer details, to ensure travelers would feel safe and comfortable as they went out into the wide world exploring. With our global world economy and digital age, one would think a guided tour is a thing of the past, yet this is not so.

Like expert travel professionals, specialized tour companies have stayed ahead of the game, continuing to offer their guests memorable, exclusive experiences. Keeping comfort in mind, savvy tour companies have also upped the game by working with the best in accommodations, transportation and cultural exchanges. Collette Tours is one such company; they have been in business for 100 years now, and are thriving with spectacular tour packages around the world and across the United States. When you are “Guided by Collette”, you are in excellent hands, and can expect a magical travel experience.

Exclusive Excursions- The Collette Standard includes destinations and excursions which are carefully selected by their own travel experts. Itineraries include places which many may never be able to experience on their own. Cultural immersion is at the core of bringing a culture to life for travelers. As part of their current San Francisco Spotlight tour, spending the day on the Napa Valley Wine Train, tasting award winning wines gets you off the beaten track and into the heart of California wine country.

Classic Tours- Collette Tours offers an easy and inspiring way to see the world.
