For more than 100 years, one tour operator has been guiding travellers to the world's most captivating places with expertise, care, and a simple belief: the best journeys are shaped by the people who take them. Collette is now in its 109th season of guided travel, and the philosophy still holds. It is travel by travellers, for travellers.

Guided travel is at its best when every detail is handled for you. Collette's teams take care of the planning so you can enjoy the journey itself, arriving at each destination ready to take it all in rather than worrying about logistics. It is a confident way to see the world, whether you are travelling as a couple, with friends, or on your own.

Collette offers more than 170 guided tours to all seven continents, from the historic streets of Europe and the national parks of North America to safaris in Africa, cultural discoveries in Asia, and expeditions to Antarctica. Itineraries also reach Australia and South America, so whether you dream of the Canadian Rockies by rail or island-hopping in Greece, there is a journey to match. The idea is simple: you choose the destination, and Collette handles the rest.

For travellers who prefer a more intimate pace, the Small Group Explorations collection features more than 50 journeys worldwide, led by experts and backed by a century of guiding experience. Smaller groups mean more personal encounters with the places you visit, with the same attention to detail that defines every Collette departure.

Local knowledge is at the heart of the experience. Collette's regionally based teams design each tour, and the local guides who lead them are part of the communities you will explore. They know where and when to go, who to meet, and what not to miss. Traveller feedback continually shapes how the experience improves, which is why so many guests return for their next adventure.

Service is built in from the moment you book. Collette's industry-leading support includes a worry-free Travel Protection Plan, private chauffeur service to and from the airport, and 24/7 emergency support, so you can focus on enjoying the trip.

Tours are designed for the modern traveller, breaking stereotypes to create immersive, inclusive itineraries at the best possible price. Favourites among guests include Treasures of South Africa, Canadian Rockies featuring Rocky Mountaineer, Portugal and Its Islands, Reflections of Italy, and Greece Island Hopper, each balancing guided sightseeing with time to explore on your own.

Travellers and the industry alike have taken notice. Collette has earned more than 31,000 reviews, with a 4.8 out of 5 rating over the past year, along with a Travvy Gold award, a Travel Weekly Readers' Choice recognition, a WAVE Award for Best Tour Operator in the USA, and Feefo's Gold Trusted Service Award.

Whether it is a first guided tour or the next in a long line of favourites, Collette's promise is consistent: go far, go confidently, and leave the planning to the experts.
