Awards & Reviews

We had excellent guides that totally thought of our group as family and we all felt that way too. The accommodations were amazing and we felt very spoiled. Then the game drives — I can’t even describe how awesome they were. We saw the Big 5 many times as well as so very many different animals and birds. I loved everything about this tour!

Peru is amazing. But I don’t think we would’ve realized that quite so much without our wonderful tour manager. He made everything fluid and worry free was kind, generous, prepared, committed, and funny.

What a tour! To get the bustling, vibrant, urban city of Athens with some of the best coffee and cocktails in the world... and then hop on a ferry and experience the splendour of the islands was a truly best of both worlds travel experience. Our tour manager was a delight — the beauty and history was unparalleled.

“We felt like we really had the full New Zealand experience and loved every minute! Collette executed everything with precision and excellence! My favourite moment was driving through the tunnel on our way to Milford Sound and coming out the other end. Our mouths dropped open, and we gasped in awe at the scenery!”

The whole trip was top notch the whole way!! Our tour guide was the best, he was so knowledgeable and did all he could do to make the trip memorable. I would recommend this trip and Collette in particular for all travel arrangements!

Collette does an excellent job at providing land tours. They have active itineraries that provide a great combination of local tours and free time to explore on your own. The guides are extremely knowledgeable about local customs, traditions and points of interest. Their online app is excellent for communicating the daily schedule, local points of interest, local dining and local maps for each area where you spend a night. They have a good combination of provided group meals and meals on your own to explore and enjoy at your own pace.

It was my first trip to Italy, and a wonderful and fascinating introduction to a beautiful and historically significant region of the world. Our guides and tours were so enjoyable, the free time at each destination, and at the hotel for the evening were a fun part of every day. Such a well-planned tour, with some great special access and some fun surprises along the way, we will definitely use Collette travel again. One of the many unforgettable moments of the trip was my first-ever in-person sight of the Colosseum, it brought me to tears.

The British Landscapes tour was jam-packed with history, information, and sight-seeing. The included meals were all delicious and had plenty of options. Every hotel was centrally located in the city so it was easy to walk to local shops, restaurants, and museums. Our guide Carly was amazing! She had so much knowledge, and if there was a question she didn't automatically know the answer to, she made sure to get back to you with as much detail as possible. She kept the trip on schedule, yet fun and entertaining. This is the best way to visit a different country in my opinion!
